WILDLIFE DETECTIVE
Can you uncover the secrets of the woodland?
You don’t always need to see an animal to know it’s been nearby!
The British countryside is full of fascinating wildlife, and every footprint, feather and unusual sound could be a clue.
Your mission is to become a Muddy Dragon Wildlife Detective and discover eight signs of wildlife while exploring outdoors.
Look carefully, listen closely and see what you can discover.
Can you solve all eight woodland mysteries?
Remember: Never disturb wild animals, nests or their homes. The best wildlife detectives observe quietly and leave no trace.
