Mon., June 25-The Raven: This bird has become a symbol of impending doom.

Tues., June 26-Hermit Crab: The hermit crab doesn’t have enough crustaceous covering to enclose its posterior, so he must seek outside protection.

Wed., June 27-Bird Feet: Bird feet range from webbed toes to sharp-clawed talons.

Thurs., June 28-Eastern Box Turtle: The turtle is often associated with longevity. A common North American species—the Eastern Box Turtle—is no exception.

Fri., June 29-Mousy Muskrat: Despite its name, the muskrat is not a true rat. It is a large field mouse that has adapted to aquatic life.
