Alten's African Safari

by Patrick Jackson July 28th to August 23rd, Mr. Alten, a Biology teacher at Chaffey High School, went on a geology tour of South Africa. He and fellow science teacher, Mr. Reeves, were eyewitnesses to several birds they had never seen before: 143 species to be exact. Mr Alten also saw several wildlife subjects including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and rhinos. "It was a real weird place!" Alten exclaims. While on safari he managed to find and bring back a wild cat skull, several insects, and an antelope hide. He studied the geology of South Africa as well as its people and culture. After dobserving over 100 different species of birds, finding skulls and strange insects, it looks like this safari was a success!
