EMC Foundation

The Annandale Secondary Environmental Club recently learned about Animal Identification.

Club members participated in discussions and brainstorming sessions on the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates. They also watched educational videos to learn how to identify animal species commonly found in their communities. Taking their learning outdoors, students collected insects from both indoor and outdoor environments, preserved and mounted their specimens, and then worked together to classify the insects they had collected.

These activities form part of the EMC Foundation’s E-STEM Program, supported by the ExxonMobil Foundation.

Ollie’s Otter Facts 🦦

Across the world and even here in Guyana, the giant river otter is known by many different names.

In Guyana, people often call them water dogs because of their playful nature and dog-like behaviours. In parts of South America, they are known as river wolves or water wolves, reflecting their strength and teamwork as skilled hunters.

What do you call them?
