This animal is called the "fossa". It lives in the forests of Madagascar. I chose this animal because my knowledge of it is non-existent. It is a mammal that has no known predators except humans, and is in danger of becoming extinct. When researching this animal in the kid's section I found the information to be presented in a very simple matter, such as the vocabulary used. The info was also presented in a chart format which is easier for young learners to comprehend. When comparing the info format to Info-finder, I found the information to be much more detailed and the vocabulary used was much more in-depth for more young adult learners. What a neat site to gather research. This would have been an excellent tool for my fourth graders and for current patrons who access our library.
