• A Word from Ms. Foust Perry on "Critter Cams"
     
    The links below will take you to "critter cams" where you can watch a variety of critters (creatures/animals), some in zoos, some in sanctuaries, some in the wild.  Nature isn't always pretty.  Many of the animals are predators, and you will likely see some of them bringing in fresh-caught prey, such as fish, snakes, rats, squirrels, and rabbits.  Remember that animals in the wild must hunt for their food--they can't go through the drive-thru at McDonald's.
