What the...?

We love hearing from Taranaki schools, and we also love quirky questions that really make us think! Last Friday we had an email from Fitzroy School that had both these things in it - how could we go wrong?

A curious student from Room 3 had discovered a mysterious bone in a nearby river, and the rest of the class were perplexed at to what animal the bone belonged to. What's your guess?

Our enthusiastic Environmental Educator Nathan and the Taranaki Research Centre team deduced it was a pelvic bone belonging to a bird called a 'Shag'. Room 3 were happy to hear this and did further investigation about Shag birds and skeletons.

Thanks Room 3 at Fitzroy School - we look forward to your next tricky question!
