How to Observe

Wildlife Damage Management requires the ability to look carefully for signs of animal presence.

Step 1.

In order to look carefully, you must

• slow down and
• focus on a particular area or item.

Scanning an entire image won’t be effective. You have to focus one spot at a time.

Look at the photo below. How many bull frogs can you see?

Once you have the number, click the image for the answer. Good luck!
