Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we are sharing some pictures Mama took, along with some Grand Canyon fun facts.
To change things up, I thought it would be fun to start the post with a short video/slide show Mama put together of our time at the Grand Canyon.
Can you guess what my favorite part of our morning was(besides squirrel hunting)??
(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)
Now, let's get to those factoids!
The Grand Canyon is HUMONGOUS!
The Grand Canyon is over 1904 square miles(3144 sq kil) and can fit the whole state of Rhode Island!
(I bet billions of squirrels live there!)
Over 6 million people visit the Grand Canyon each year.
(and I bet half of them feed those sneaky squirrels!)
The Grand Canyon is so large it can be seen from space!
(Not those sneaky squirrels though, I bet they hide)
You may notice I rarely look at the camera in these pictures...
Betcha can't guess why.
(then again, maybe you can BOL)
A variety of tribes of Native Americans have lived in or near the Grand Canyon for over 1,000 years. Many believe the canyon is sacred.
(I bet Native Americans would have let me eat the squirrels, Mama)
The rare pink rattlesnake is only found in the Grand Canyon. Don't get close to them though, they still poisonous!
(Probably not annoying like those squirrels though)
Finally, can you guess what the most dangerous animal in the
Grand Canyon is? They have Guila Monsters and Big Horn sheep, but this animal has bitten more visitors than any other animal....

THE ROCK SQUIRREL!!!!
Case closed, squirrels ARE evil!
Now, let me at them Daddy!!!
The Grand Canyon is truly a beautiful place to visit. The pawrents have been a few times and I'm sure they'll be back!
