My TED Talk: Red Wolves

In our Language Arts class, each student had to create a TED like Talk about something they love. I, naturally, chose the Red Wolves.

Choosing a topic was challenging for some classmates, but for me, it was really an easy choice! The next step was to research. That fact part was not to hard, I used two to three sources, but the photo part was very challenging. We had to use copyright free photos, and it took a while to find photos that were one, copyright free, and two, of actually a Red Wolf, and not of some random wolf.

After that, it was creating a slideshow. That went smooth, and my slideshow looked awesome! One of my favorite slides was a slide that asked you to find the difference between a Red Wolf and a coyote.

The actual presentation part was the most scary. I had to stand up in front of all my classmates and speak my TED like Talk. Sometimes, this can be very nerve wracking, since I don’t know what my classmates are think. But after I got started, that feeling slowly dissolved.

After I presented, I felt really good! My classmates liked my talk, and I loved talking in front of people. I had so much fun!

Endangered Animals #1: Red Wolf

 

This is my first post about endangered animals (second including my very first post). Today we will be talking about the fascinating, wonderful, and critically endangered Red Wolf! The Red Wolf is not the most endangered it’s one of the endangered. These posts are not in order from most endangered to least endangered.

Red wolves (Canis Rufus) are a subspecies of the Gray Wolf. There are about only 20 Red wolves left in the wild in 2022! They are native to North Carolina, where I live! That’s cool.

Description: Red wolves are mostly brown. There is sometimes a reddish tint to their fur. They may look like a German Shepherd at first glance!  The Red wolf’s size is between the Gray wolf and the coyote.

Fun Facts!

  1. Red wolves are nocturnal!
  2. The Red Wolf’s howl sounds like a coyote’s but is more lower pitched and lasts longer.
