Today we were visited by officers from the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA).
We had chosen to take part in a workshop to find out more about wild animals and how to protect them. We learned a lot about wildlife in Scotland and the work the SSPCA does. Then we played a special wildlife snakes and ladders game, which helped us to explore wild animals in more detail. It was also lots of fun!
After the workshop, we had a quiz to see how much we could remember. The quiz questions are below. Can you remember the answers to some of these questions?
- What can you tell about a seal if it has white fur?
- Bats are protected in Scotland. TRUE or FALSE?
- What do bats eat lots of?
- Where do seals sleep?
- Why do hedgehogs curl up in a ball?
- What is a baby hedgehog called? (There are 2 answers to this)
- What is a baby seal called?
- Where is a dolphin’s nose positioned?
- What is the type of snake that can be found in Scotland?
- How would you describe what a slow worm is? (Hint – it’s not a snake and it’s not a worm).
- What does an otter live near?
- What is the number for the SSPCA?
