Instructions:

Now, you will focus on one animal species that has been found in the camera trap footage. You need to select one of the species listed in the table below.

Each student from your group will need to select a unique animal species from the species list in the table, so make sure that you look at all of the posts that have been submitted in order to make sure that you do not choose the same species as someone else. You will be focusing on this species for the rest of the assignments for the Urban Ecology Project, so choose carefully!

American Crow Coyote
Mourning Dove Fox Squirrel
Northern Mocking Bird Norway/ Brown Rat
Stripped Skunk
Racoon
Virginia Opossum

Post Requirements:

  1. Taxonomic group, common name, and scientific name of your species
  2. Post a photo of your species. To receive full credit, you must include a properly-formatted attribution (like a citation for images and videos) for the image. See the image above for an example and check out the helpful resources below for tips on how to find images and attribute the source of the image. Be sure to insert the images into the discussion post, rather than adding them as attachments to your reply.
  3. A link to at least one credible source of information about your species.
  4. Is your species native or introduced to Los Angeles County?
    • Wait, what are native and introduced species? A species is native to an area if it occurs there ‘naturally’, meaning due only to local natural evolution. An introduced species is a species that is not native to an area but rather was transported to that location area by humans or due to human activity. For the purposes of this project, migratory birds are considered to be native species.
