Today my family and I went to Yellowstone. We saw heaps of AWESOME volcanic stuff, like:
- geysers (big things that shoot water into the air!)
- hot springs (water pools that look like puddles that bubble with toxic gas!)
- mud springs (they are like hot springs but are full of mud. In fact one was so full of gas that some mud shot into the air!)
- Really breakable ground (so breakable that if someone stepped off the track the ground would break under their feet and they would fall into a hot spring!)
It was all really cool and no, don't ask, I HAVE NOT SEEN YOGI BEAR!
Talking about bears do you know a lot about them? Take a quiz and see...
1. Which is more dangerous - bear, bison or eagle?
2. Can bears swim?
3. Bears attack when standing up - true or false?
3 out of three - you're beary clever
2 out of three - bear with it
1 out of three - bearly there
0 our to three - unbearable
(Answers: Bison; Yes; false)
