| Phoenix Magnet Elementary asks: Have you ever encountered any unidentified plant or animal in the wetlands; if not, what is the most unusual plant or animal you have observed? CC answers: When I see a plant or animal I have not seen before I try to look it up and find out what it is. Sometimes I have to get a biologist at LSU to help me. |
