Wildling — Movement & Feeding River Crossing Run
Hi!
I'm Wildling.
Welcome to River Crossing Run!
Will you help me investigate movement & feeding?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Animals move using structures suited to their bodies and surroundings.
Fins, legs and wings can help movement in different settings.
Which structure helps push water in our record?
- A. Its name tag
- B. Webbed feet
- C. Only decorative feathers
The answer is B: Webbed feet
Our record shows webbed feet pushing against water
and a pointed beak catching small prey.
These observations support swimming and grasping food;
they do not reveal everything about the animal.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Feeding structures also vary.
A bird's beak and a fish's mouth can suit different food sources
and methods.
What does the pointed beak help do here?
- A. Catch small prey
- B. Anchor the animal like a root
- C. Make sunlight
The answer is A: Catch small prey
Our record shows webbed feet pushing against water
and a pointed beak catching small prey.
These observations support swimming and grasping food;
they do not reveal everything about the animal.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?

Should we use habitat with body clues?
- A. No
- B. Only if their colors match
- C. Yes
The answer is C: Yes
Our record shows webbed feet pushing against water
and a pointed beak catching small prey.
These observations support swimming and grasping food;
they do not reveal everything about the animal.
