Eddie was found with a giant tangle of hair so big you couldn’t even see his feet! No one had taken care of him for years, and his fleece coat was one massive, matted mess. He could barely walk, his toenails were curled, and something metal was stuck to his tail. What?! Buried under pounds of hair, it was hard to tell what kind of animal he even was. Llama? Alpaca? Mop? But don’t worry. At the Llama Sanctuary, Eddie’s finally going to get the care he deserves—and maybe even a proper ID.

Caribou are known for their epic migrations in search of food. Herds will sometimes migrate up to 1350 kilometers. That’s the distance between Vancouver and Regina across THREE provinces!
And you know what’s even cooler? They do the whole thing without using a car, not even once. Transportation causes about one-third of Canada’s air pollution! This pollution is making climate change worse. Walking the whole way makes caribou climate champ!
It’s time we follow in caribou’s footsteps: leave the car at home as much as you can. Try walking or biking instead! If it’s too far to walk or roll, use public transit (bus or train) or a carpool! You’ll still be helping to cut down on the number of cars on the road.
Don’t forget to log this habit in the Act Like an Animal Challenge!
We need your help! This animal is trying to tell us something but we can’t figure it out! Do you know what is this seal thinking?

Numbers are an important part of nature! If you look, you may notice a clover with four leaves instead of three. What other numbers of objects can a seeker like you bring back?
Objective: Throw a dice into the circle and say something easy to find in nature. You and your friends are to collect this number of items, and bring them back to the circle.
Players: 2 or more
Make your way to your favourite outdoor space. It could be your local park, a walking trail, a beach, or even your backyard!
Create a circle. You can use some rocks, a rope, or even bring a bucket to serve as a “circle space”. Get creative! All you need is it to be the start and end spot of the game.
Start playing! Your goal: Throw your dice to see what number it gives you and pick an object found in nature.
Start exploring and looking around! Collect the dice-rolled number of your chosen object and bring them back to the circle. Work as a team, or challenge a friend to see who can get them all first!
Once the dice-chosen number of objects has been found, the players can swap places so that someone new rolls the dice and picks the object each time.
Elpis is on her way to becoming a fierce harpy eagle…if she can just figure out flying first. Watch her grow from a tiny ball of fluff to a powerful bird trying to leave the nest. But she’s about to find out that flying isn’t as easy as it looks. She’s been practicing and training for this moment. Find out if she crashes or totally nails it!

Well, shell-o there, Earth Rangers! Welcome to the shoreline! I’m your tour guide – or, should I say, ‘turtle guide,’ Tallie.
In case you didn’t know, I’m a Blanding’s turtle. Turtles like me live in ponds and shallow lakes and, honestly, I LOVE my life in the water…well, mostly. There are just a few minor problems. I’m hoping you can help me tell your fellow land-dwellers about the troubles we turtles are facing, because we turtally…I mean, totally, need your help.
The main problem is pollution – garbage that clogs up our shorelines can hurt the wildlife that lives there. Some animals might mistake trash for food, for instance. And not only that, but if garbage smells like food it’s even more tempting. Eating litter can make animals really sick. And some pieces of trash are so easy to get tangled up in (think strings and plastic bags), which causes animals to get hurt.
I know what you’re thinking: what’s a helpful Earth Ranger to do? Simple! Just join the Shoreline Saver Mission and get ready to clean up a shoreline near you. Whether you live near a pond, a lake, or an ocean, the animals that live in that habitat will be super-grateful for your help!
Gather up some friends, a grown-up or two, some garbage bags and gloves, and see how much trash you can collect. And be sure to let everyone know all about your terrific work in the app. With your help, a clean shoreline will be mission accomplished!
We got tons of great guesses on Part 1 of this Pixel Puzzler, and now it’s time for the answer. Are you ready for the great reveal? Find out if you got it right!
The answer to this Pixel Puzzler is (drum roll please) a herd of caribou! How did you do? Tell us in the comments!
Caribou travel epic distances to find food, and do it all on foot. Did you know you, too, can hoof it like a caribou?
Most cars are powered by fuels that release greenhouse gases. So why not be inspired by our four-legged friends and leave the car at home? Head on over to the “Act Like an Animal” Challenge to log this habit each day you replace a car trip with a walk, bike ride, or public transit!
Here at Earth Rangers, it’s no secret that we really love the environment and all the plants and animals that call it home. Protecting the world around us is super important, but sometimes we need to just head outside and appreciate nature.
That’s why it’s time to get ready for some outdoor fun! Put your observational skills to the test in our Scavenger Hunt Showdown Mission!
In this mission, you’ll find yourself a partner and then venture outside (we suggest visiting a park – and bringing an adult, of course). And then, guess what? You get to explore the environment around you and complete a truly boss-level scavenger hunt – we’re talking a potential score of 55 points (one for each item you find, with bonuses for each piece of litter you throw out).
You’ll use your environmental expertise and see if you can spot things like signs of animals, different trees and leaves, actual animals (from a safe distance, of course), and a whole heap of other stuff! (Some of it is super-tricky – for instance, do you think you can find something heart-shaped?!)
Be sure to keep track of your score so you can see how you stack up against some teams of familiar faces from past Earth Rangers missions. Join the Scavenger Hunt Showdown today and find out if you have what it takes to become the ultimate champion!
Do you have what it takes to defeat all the teams and become the Ultimate Scavenger Hunt Champion?
