Seek: Predators with Bones Challenge
This Nature Challenge was created by Seek (by iNaturalist):
Your mission:
Vertebrate animals have backbones and internal skeletons. Predators kill and eat prey animals. Like all animals, they are adapted to their diet. For example, many predators have sharp claws, teeth, or beaks that allow them to hold or dismember prey.
- Find 2 species from the orders:
- Accipitriformes (hawks, eagles, kites, and allies)
- Falconiformes (falcons and caracaras)
- Strigiformes (owls)
- Carnivora (carnivoran mammals)
- Squamata (snakes and lizards)
What is Seek? And how do you get started?
Seek (by iNaturalist) is a kid-safe app that helps you explore nature and get to know your local species!
Seek identifies and names plants, animals, and fungi by using the camera on a phone or tablet device. Seek also provides facts about the species you observe to deepen your understanding.
You can use Seek anywhere! Try your backyard, local park, or a nature reserve. Exciting new challenges are released monthly.
To try Seek, ask your parent or educator to visit the iNaturalist website. Or, they can click here for more information.
