About this episode
What's the difference between a wild dog and a domesticated dog? Both are in the family Canidae and there are plenty of similarities, but there are some important differences, too. We'll learn about those in this episode, as well as some other fun facts about wild dog packs and animal communication. Of course, you won't want to miss the nature walk challenge either!
Supplies for the nature study challenge:
- nature journal or blank, white paper
- colored pencils or watercolors
