How Many Otter Species are There?
We are 4th and 5th graders from Lincoln, Nebraska. We’ve been looking and looking but we don’t know for sure how many species of otters there are. Our teacher says that the sites we get information from should be made by experts. We found one website, but we’re not sure if we can trust this source.
Can you:
· Find out how many otter species there are?
· Find more than one site that gives the same number of species?
· Post the names and addresses of the sites where you found the number of species?
· Explain whether the sites you found are reliable (trustworthy) sources of information?
Thanks!
