Fremont Middle School 6th grade Skype visit

Today I Skyped with some of the 6th grade students at the Fremont Middle School.  They asked a host of good questions about South America and the Amazon rain forest.

I promised them some photos.

 

A Sapara boy checks out a tarantula on the floor of his house in the Amazon rain forest of Ecuador.

 

 

 

 

A rhino beetle has a string tied to it's horn. It was the pet of one of the Achuar children I visited in Tiinkias.

 

 

 

 

Today the rhino beetle goes to school.

 

 

 

 

My friend Manari gives me a drink from a vine he chopped down in the Amazon rain forest of Ecuador.

 

 

 

 

Fresh water sting ray in the Amazon rain forest of Ecuador

 

 

Never guess what we had for lunch?

 

 

They gave me the tail, the best part.

 

 

 

Thanks again for a great Skype call Fremont 6th graders!   Great questions.

Cheers from Ecuador,

Dean
