In Science we continued our study of mammals. Our focus this week was the cat family. We learned a few interesting facts about some wild cats. Did you know that:
1) Cougar, Puma, and Panther are all names of the same animal... a Mountain Lion
2) Mountain Lions/Pumas/Cougars/Panthers can jump as far as 40 feet... and
3) What we often call a Black Panther is actually a Black Leopard, just called by the name panther???
Here we are measuring out 40 feet so we can see how far a Mountain Lion can jump.
We tried to jump that far, but it was impossible! So, we counted how many of our jumps it took to make one Mountain Lion jump.
Then we pretended that our stuffed wild cats were Mountain Lions and made them jump (by throwing them) the 40 feet:
Here is the Black Leopard that Malachi drew for his Science Notebook:
