Mapping

My friend Brie and I marking our map.

Making and having detailed maps is very important for scientists who are studying animals. A map that has field signs all over it can help scientists in many ways.

Here are some of the reasons why making maps like this can be very helpful:

1. You can have a record of the different types of animals that live in the area.
2. You can create new maps each year to compare similarities and differences.
3. You can find patterns for where animals make their homes.
4. You can figure out which animals are in danger if you stop seeing signs of them.
5. By using the field signs you can get a better idea for how many of each type of animal is in the area.
