=Student Directions for MV Zoology Project=

Overview
You will be creating at least three web pages within this wiki on animals that you research. You will research at least one invertebrate (sponge, cnidarian, worm, mollusk, arthropod, or echinoderm), and at least two vertebrates (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, or mammals). You may, of course, research more (for extra credit!) if you have time.

Directions
Include the following information on each wiki page you create.
 * Name (Common Name and Scientific Name)
 * Picture
 * Physical description (What does it look like?)
 * Size
 * Average lifespan
 * Habitat
 * Range (Where on the earth does the animal live? Maybe even include a map!)
 * Diet
 * Behavior & adaptations to its way of life (What tricks does it use to survive?)
 * How it reproduces
 * Relationship to people (Do we use it for some purpose? Do we eat it? Does it eat //us//?)
 * History
 * Status (Threatened? Endangered? Rare? Common?)
 * Any other interesting information you find...
 * An audio file of its communication (mating calls, warning signals, etc.)
 * A video clip
 * Reference in folklore or legends
 * Citations

Sources and Citations
You must include at least __**one**__ printed source for each animal AND at least __**one**__ online source. Printed sources, especially encyclopedias and reference books, are carefully reviewed before they are published. Websites such as Wikipedia are open and collaborative; though mostly accurate, it is more likely to find incorrect information in these pages.

As you work, be sure to keep track of where you find the information you use. It is respectful and responsible to cite any outside sources used in your wiki page. See the Citations page for how to do this.
