October 17, 2013 Our Unique Animal Creations

Using our newly acquired  knowledge of animal taxonomy, each Navigator recently created a unique creature combining the traits of two or more animals. Here are the steps of our multi-step project:

1.  Draw a unique animal.
2.  Give it a common name.
3.  Write up a taxonomy of the new genus-species.
4.  Make a sculpture of the animal.
5.  Write a description/story about your animal.
6.  Prepare a display for our Navigators' Natural History Museum.
7.  Present it to our museum's visitors, the Ladybugs, Bumblebees and Explorers. 

Here is a six-headed, two tailed part dinosaur, part scorpion animal. 

Here is a goataraf--part goat, part cheetah, part giraffe. 

And this is a girafunicerbil--giraffe body, unicorn horn and gerbil tail. 

This animal is created from about five different animals including a bat, a rhinoceros and a cheetah. 

  

And here is a Supertronic Radioactive Blooded Dung Beetle 

complete with a poisonous web 

(the stringy glue gun glue) to protect it from its enemies.

The Navigators LOVE to create. And use the glue gun.
