Olympic Winter Games – Spanish
This edition is full of information on the natural environment that we call the Rocky Mountains. In this Natural Inquirer, you will learn how father owls feed their young, the dangers that songbirds sometimes face, and how beetles stay warm during the winter. Find out how avalanches are formed, whether trout always pick the same place to swim in a stream, and how a computer can be used to predict soil erosion!
This is the Spanish-language edition of the Olympic Winter Games Natural Inquirer.
