Hi! My name is Archer! One of my favorite things to do is go on adventures to all of my favorite places and look for the animals that live there! I just got a new phone for my birthday and cant wait to use it to learn fun facts about all of my animal friends! Will you help me?

One of my favorite places to explore is the forest right outside of my backdoor! Lets go see what animals we can find!

This is the forest! When I am exploring in the forest I love climbing trees and smelling the flowers. I see many forest animals scurrying about! Lets take pictures on my phone and see what interesting things we can learn about them! What forest animals do you see?

Squirrels are born blind.

Squirrels eat mostly nuts, fruits and seeds.

A baby deer is called a 'fawn'.

Deer take their first steps within half an hour of their birth.

This is the beach! In the summer my family always goes to the beach. We surf, build sandcastles and look for all of the animal families together. What animal families do you see? Lets look them up on my phone!
