Wild Animals at Hidden Villa

In the Hidden Villa forest there are many big, wild animals lurking behind trees and over the mountains. There are lots of predators searching for food and prey hoping not to be found. There are always big wild animals in the forest and if you’re quiet, have good ears and sharp eyes, you can find some of them. Students learn about some of the big wild animals that make a home in Hidden Villa including coyotes, hawks and deer.

Coyotes are talented predators that live in the Hidden Villa wilderness. They use their sharp hearing to find and hunt rabbits. In addition, they have fast legs to catch rabbits on the run. Their sharp teeth let them bite, kill and eat rabbits. Every once in awhile on the trail you can find coyote scat. It’s very easy to find their scat at Hidden Villa, but hard to find the coyotes. It’s probably because they’re so fast so they can find a hiding spot quickly. You can open up scat to see what coyotes eat. You can find bones and hair of different animals.

There are tons of hawks at Hidden Villa too. Hawks have sharp eyes so that they can see their prey from the sky. Hawks eat many different animals like snakes, mice and bunnies. Hawks are good predators just like the coyote, but can fly and swoop down to get their prey.

One of the other animals at Hidden Villa is the deer. Deer are not predators, only prey. Instead of eating animals, they eat plants. That makes them herbivores. There are different ways to behave near them. If you are loud they will most likely run. Deer don’t normally come near people.

Those are three of the many big wild animals that live in the forest of Hidden Villa.
