Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache. The cache is at the listed coordinates, however, before logging a find you must meet the conditions listed below.



This hopefully will be an easy and fun challenge that most cachers can participate in. To log the cache you must find 25 caches with 25 different animal names in the title. Here are the rules:
  1. This cache cannot be used as one your 25 caches.
  2. Include the list of caches in your log (cache id/cache name[/animal if not obvious]), or create a public bookmark list. This cache doesn't count, but please include it in your bookmark list (the bookmark list should have 26 caches).
  3. No date restrictions; it doesn't matter when a qualifying cache was published or when you found it.
  4. If the title contains more than one animal, such as cats and dogs, you must choose 1 animal.
  5. An animal can be any animal name, familiar, scientific, slang, etc. If it's in the dictionary or encyclopedia, you can use it.
  6. Fictitious animals, such as jackelope and ewok, are OK.
  7. Different names for the same animal count as two different animals: dog is different from doggie. Cow, cattle, bull, and bovine are all different.
  8. More specific names are different from generic names: rattlesnake is different from snake, bulldog is different from dog, and grey wolf is different from wolf.
  9. Plural names are NOT different from singular, i.e., dog is the same as dogs.
  10. Abbreviated names of animals such as rhino and croc are OK.
  11. If the animal is part of a compound word, or appears in a derived word, you may use it: horseshoe may be used as horse, fishing counts as fish, and flying counts as fly, but pox can NOT used for ox, and flew can NOT used for fly.
  12. Homonym uses are OK: baseball bat may be used for the animal bat.
  13. Proper names, such as the name of your pet, can NOT be used.
Cache is a large ammo can hidden about 1000 feet from parking; follow the cow trails.

Have fun!
