Critter Dectectives
A Rhode Island school reported in the spring: "We have a little problem. Some animals are chomping off the tops of the tulips the minute they pop up. They even left paw prints in the dirt. We took plaster casts of them and are going to ask a parent to help identify the critters for us next week. We think it is a rabbit."

Guess what they found out!
"A parent who is a taxidermist tells us the footprints are not a rabbit. They are too big. He thinks they belong to a skunk. We're not going to argue with skunks!!"
