My name is Ruby and I am 10 years old and live with two cats, A dog, My brother Fox and loving parents. Today my mission as a junior naturalist is to get as many animals as possible. Pose for the camera Fox!

But before I start I need the best materials for capturing. I start off with a basic net and bucket. I decided that since I had the stuff I was going to catch a fish. A lot.

I set out to the water to make my catch of the day.

In just minutes lots of this minnows friends were in the bucket.

Well,Everything in life deserves to be set free. So do my minnows. Bye minnows!

Well,Back to the drawing board. My next animal? Frog. Materials needed?Bare hands. That's all I need.

As I head out, What do I find in the mud but a mollusk! There is lots in the marshy area of the creek. I used to think that they were sea snails. But later I learned that that they were in the mollusk family.
