  1. Bell Ringer(March 31, 2011): Describe how to use an ethogram.

  2. A look at the behavior of Eastern Gray Squirrels and Prevost Squirrels Mrs. Vroman Canter Middle School 8th Grade March 31, 2011

  3. Does an Eastern Gray Squirrel Spend more time moving around than a Prevost Squirrel?

  4. Gray Squirrels • Scientific name • Description • Classification • Habitat/range • Diet

  5. Gray Squirrels • Life expectancy • Enemies • Interesting facts about the animal

  6. Prevost Squirrel • Scientific name • Description • Classification • Habitat/range • Diet

  7. Prevost Squirrel • Life expectancy • Enemies • Interesting facts about the animal

  8. Prediction The Eastern Gray Squirrel will move around more than the Prevost Squirrel. I think this to be true because the Gray Squirrel has to gather food and hide from predators while the Prevost Squirrel does not since it lives in a zoo.

  9. Procedures • Use a general ethogram to collect behavioral data on the two species of squirrels. • Using an ethogram mark the behavior of the animal after every 15 seconds for 7 minutes. • Total up the number of behaviors observed at the bottom of the ethogram • CONTIUE TELLING HOW TO COLLECT THE DATA

  10. Procedures continued… • Calculate the precentages • Next step • Next step • Next step

  11. Results: Eastern Gray Squirrel

  12. Results: Eastern Gray Squirrel • Explain your results in words • The Eastern Gray Squirrel spends most of its time being active by digging and moving.

  13. Results: Prevost Squirrel

  14. Results: Prevost Squirrel • Explain your results in words

  15. Conclusion • My prediction was supported. The Eastern Gray Squirrel was more active than the Prevost Squirrel by 21%. The Prevost Squirrel spend most of its time resting. I think I got these results due to the environment’s of the squirrels. EXPLAIN.
