A River Otter update written by teen students:

Check out this video, you won't believe what happens next...

For the month of September, we studied River Otters at Big Break. This included a survey and dissection of otter s**t. We found that in the survey River Otters were eating 100% Louisiana Crawdads (an invasive species).

Watch the video closely, can you tell what the possum is eating?

This video footage was taken and edited by students in the Big Break Teen Homeschool program.
