Get ready! It’s time to see if you can paw-ssibly unscramble these letters?
Here’s how to play:
Read the paragraph below and use it to unscramble the words.
The fishing cat (not to be mistaken with the fisher cat or the fisher) is a wild cat species that is found in the wetlands of Asia. It is well-known for its webbed feet, which allow it to swim for long distances and catch its primary food: fish. The fishing cat is a nocturnal animal that is rarely observed during the day, but if you are ever lucky enough to hear it, its meow might sound like chuckling.

Yifeng and her very own caribou adoption kit from Earth Rangers!
Have you ever wondered where caribou got their distinctive name? Are you curious about how they survive in the freezing cold climate of the permafrost peatlands? Maybe the words “caribou” and “permafrost” are brand new to you!
Well, we’ve got great news for you! This year, Earth Rangers is partnering with Yifeng Wang, a geography researcher from Queen’s University. She studies the permafrost peatlands that caribou call home. She wants to know how climate change is affecting the permafrost and how we can preserve this beautiful ecosystem for generations of caribou to come!
This is your chance to ask Yifeng anything about the important work she does! Do you want to know what caribou do with their big antlers? Are you wondering how the ground stays permanently frozen in the permafrost peatlands? Maybe you want to know how Yifeng decided to study geography – or how she stays warm when she’s working in the Arctic circle!
Whatever you want to know, sound off in the comments! We’ll send your questions to Yifeng, and she’ll answer three to five of her favorites. Stay tuned on the Wild Wire blog for her responses, and for more chances to ask our researchers questions!
In the meantime, head over to the Earth Rangers Shop to purchase your own caribou adoption kit and support Yifeng’s work!

We’ve got an egg-celent penguin pal for you! Waddle this way for this Arctic-inspired craft.
Here’s what you need:
An egg carton
Orange, black and white paint or markers
Googly eyes
Glue
Scissors
Craft foam or colorful paper TIP: If you don’t have either of these, you can paint some cardboard or scrap paper instead!
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Cut out an individual “egg holder” from your egg carton.
Step 2:Glue the rim of two cups together to create your penguin’s body
Step 3: Give your penguin pal some feet by gluing the bottom of a cup to the bottom of its body.
Once dry, cut that bottom cup to create little feet.
Step 4: Time to paint! Start by painting their body black, then adding a white belly and orange feet!
Step 5: Once the paint is dry, cut a small triangle from your foam/paper and glue them just above your penguin’s belly. Add some googly eyes, and you’ve got yourself a new penguin pal!
What’s your penguin pal’s name? Did you use other paint colors to make them special?
