We need your help! This animal is trying to tell us something, but we can’t figure it out! Do you know what these bush dogs are saying?

Have YOU Got Eagle Eyes?
Hello, Earth Rangers! It’s me, Finigan! One thing you should know about us eagles is that we’re famous for our incredible vision (or, as some say, ‘eagle eyes’). We don’t miss a thing! In fact, I bet I could win ANY kind of treasure hunt!
If you’re looking to put YOUR observational skills to the test, I’ve got just the thing: the Scavenger Hunt Showdown Mission! It’s guaranteed to challenge even the cleverest Earth Ranger.
In this Mission, you need to get outdoors and complete a challenging scavenger hunt. You’ll look high, low, and everywhere in between, but I know you can do it! Be on the lookout for things like a big leaf, a colorful rock, and something animal-shaped, like me!
So grab your best treasure hunting buddy and head out for an epic summer adventure (with a grownup’s permission, of course). Take lots of pictures as you go and share them with us to show what a terrific job you’ve done.
I can’t wait to see all your awesome pictures. Good luck and happy scavenging, Earth Rangers!
Do you have what it takes to defeat all the teams and become the Ultimate Scavenger Hunt Champion?

Hero Wolf Races Against Rising Water to Save Her Pups!
Something is really bothering this wolf. She’s been pacing and whining around a hollow old tree for days. Is it the tree… or what’s inside? Even more mysterious—hidden cameras are picking up strange sounds: tiny cries and… rushing water?! Good thing the researchers were recording everything, because what happens next is one of the most amazing wildlife adventures Emma has ever witnessed!
Voyageurs Wolf Project
Learning about wolves – how they hunt, how they behave, and all about their pups – is the goal of the Voyageurs Wolf Project. But how do you track a predator like a wolf? With cleverly placed cameras, of course! Some wolves are outfitted with collar cameras, and others are placed strategically throughout the forest.
By observing wolves without interfering with their natural behaviors, the team at the Voyageurs Wolf Project has learned a ton of useful information about these beautiful animals. This information will be used to help with wolf protection and conservation – and that’s something to howl about!
Voyageurs Wolf Project, we’re wild about the work you’re doing, and we’d like to make you honorary Earth Rangers!

Clean Up Your Neighborhood and Save the Animals!
Earth Rangers, we know that you’re some of the biggest trash and recycling experts around, but many people are still getting it wrong. Garbage that’s thrown away carelessly or improperly isn’t just an eyesore; it’s also really dangerous to animals. Critters might mistake trash for a tasty snack or end up entangled in garbage that they encounter in the wild. Garbage makes animals sick and hurt. We, Earth Rangers, knew we had to do something to stop this.
Disposing of garbage properly inspired us to create a mission called Stash the Trash. In it, you’ll learn all there is to know about doing a community clean-up and helping protect animals in your neighborhood. You’ll be able to join thousands of other helpful Earth Rangers who are already making a difference!
And guess what? You can join our Stash the Trash mission just in time for World Conservation Day (July 28)! World Conservation Day is meant to make people more aware of how important nature is, and how it’s everyone’s job to protect the planet for generations to come. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start stashing that trash properly!
In the Stash the Trash Mission, you’ll organize your own neighbourhood cleanup to help get rid of litter!
Sounding like a Gibbon
Want to talk like a Gibbon? Better learn the accent! A recent study of these primates has revealed that a Gibbon’s call varies depending on location. Each song is a little bit different and based on this research, scientists can tell where a Gibbon is from just by listening to it. Both guy and girl Gibbons belt out the tunes! Calling to define their territory and to find mates.
DIY Cutlery Pouch
DIY Cutlery Pouch
Time:30 min
Difficulty:Hard
You’ve got your reusable bottle, grocery bags…But you’ve run into a problem: your reusable cutlery is rolling around in your bag and getting all gross! Sounds like you could use an awesome DIY cutlery pouch!
- A big piece of scrap fabric
- Something to draw with that won’t show through the fabric, like a pencil
- Needle and thread
- Button (optional)
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Cut two rectangular pieces out of your fabric. Make sure they are longer and wider than your cutlery set. The bigger the better as you can always cut off the extra fabric.
Step 2: Put the two nice sides of your fabric together so you’re looking at the plain side. Sew up the sides and bottom using the box as your guide. Keep about a half an inch of fabric around the outside and trim off the rest.
Step 3: Flip your fabric inside-out so that the nice side is facing outwards, and put your cutlery in to make sure it fits!
Step 4: Fold the top part of your fabric over the cutlery. This will be the flap that keeps your pouch closed.
OPTIONAL: Take your cutlery out, and sew a button onto the pouch in a spot that will connect with the flap.
Cut a small hole in the flap that lines up with the button. Make sure it’s big enough for the button to fit through snugly
Voila! Stash your pouch in your bag to make sure you never need single-use plastic cutlery again!

Is Brushing This Alligator’s Teeth a Good Idea?
Better watch those fingers! Alligators have one of the strongest bites on the planet, so why is the team at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary going near Freddy’s mouth. And is that a toothbrush?! I didn’t know Alligators could get cavities…or maybe something else is going on.
Special thanks to our friends at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. Check out their socials at @BuschWildlife
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary
The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary has been saving animals in Florida for decades. Since 1983, the kind folks at the Sanctuary have been taking in injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife…and boy, have they been busy! In an average year, they help thousands of animal patients rest, recover, and, in most cases, return to the wild where they belong.
Along with saving lives, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary prides itself on educating the public about conservation. Guess what? Like Earth Rangers, they have animal ambassadors that help to teach people about protecting and preserving wildlife and nature!
We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ for saving animals and the environment, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary!
