Hi It is Emma and Andrew from North Star, thanks for your pictures, you have very different animals to us. Here are our questions:

1. What breed is the swan? Will We think it's a mute swan, but we are not sure.

2. How vicious are the Coyotes? Ben P Well, they aren't very vicious but they are carnivores. If you live near the woods, you must watch your pets carefully and not leave them outside alone. They do not know the difference between prey and our pets.

3.How big is a racoon's head? Henry It's about the size of a bay's head.

4.How often do you get white tail deer in your playground? Ben O We never get deer on the playground, but we have many in the forests near by. They are shy of people, but we still see them.
