Ahhhhh! that scary bobcat is coming for me. Do you know who I am? Well lets read and then you can find out.
There's a lot that you can learn about me. My habitat is the deciduous forests. I lay eggs. I'm not a mammal. My diet is bugs, small bugs not lions. My spices is very small like Evan but not as small as Evan Cowan himself.
I need a lot of protection. I was on the endangered list in the 1980s - that's a long time ago. I'm on it because of pollution, loss of food, and people ruining my habitat. The challenges I must face are what I just told you and foxes chasing me. If that's not enough I have a bobcat chasing me.
Can you start to help me please? Stop taking down my habitat. Cause if you do there will be no more to learn about me. Stop polluting my water so I can drink safely. Stop polluting the air because if you do you can save my species.
I'm Evan, the Pseudotriton montanus . So I hope you understood what I was trying to tell you about me. Please start to help me, I need protection. Stop! Put down the gun, its not right!!! Stop polluting my habitat!! It’s difficult to run away from this bobcat that's still chasing me!! You have to run really fast. It’s hard to hide because I’ve been polluted and my habitat has been taking down so I have no place to hide.
