lol, how did I miss the rest of this thread! Yorkies are cute, salamanders are cute in a different way. I love playing with them.

The camp kids just went NUTS when we would see anything cool while hiking and such. The camp had a biologist (who worked in the kitchen ) and she gave us all ecology lessons so that we would be able to really keep the kids interested and teach them something at the same time. My favorite activity was "stream ecology" which for the smaller groups turned into "how many times can I fall in the water and make it look like an accident" time. lol. The older groups would catch as many things as possible so that we could figure out what they were. We had some interesting little "communities" in our bowls. Once, two crayfish attacked and ate a poor little salamander right in front of the kids! It was the saddest thing... Another time, the MIR (minister in residence) caught a baby snake and got bitten... The kids just loved that! Oh the fun of being a camp counselor. lol
