Plants and Animals
The fieldtrip to the arboretum was a real treat on Thursday. For looking so small on the outside, it is hard to believe you are still at Cal State Fullerton once inside the grounds. I felt like we had taken a trip to three differnt areas in one hour. My favorite part was the desert becuase I love the cactus plants. The texture of the leaves, colors, and shapes of these plants are truely unique. My rainforest animal is a Capybara. I chose this animal becuase I saw it on the discovery channel once in a show about stange pets. The Capybara is so stange looking, it actually becomes adorable in its own wierd way. The Capybara actually spends most of its time in the water. It hides in the tall grasses of marshes, swamps and rivers. Capybara feeds on aquatic plants and sometimes on fruit if it's available. Sadly, one of their predators is humans, along with jaguars, snakes and large birds of prey. My Capybara will happily be at home in the understory of our rainforest wall.
