Geocache Description:

You must complete the Challenge in order to log this cache!

To complete this Challenge you need to collect 13 different animals to populate your menagerie. How? Collect animals by finding caches that have an animal listed in their title.



Sounds easy, right? What's the catch? Here are the rules:

1. You must have at least 13 different animal names.

2. Insect names are fine too.

3. Spelling counts.

4. Words within words also count. Plant works for Ant, etc.

5. Multiple different animals in a single cache name count as more than one. "Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!" would be the same as three separate caches.

6. Previous finds count. You may already have enough animals to complete your collection!

7. When you log your find you must list in your log all the animals you used to build your collection.

8. You must verify you have assembled your zoo. Preferred method is with a Bookmark of all the qualifying caches, but most any other way will work as long as I have some way to verify you have found them.

Have fun creating your menagerie!

Note: there are animal/letter shapes in the cache....while they last, if you can find the leading letter for your caching name, include your totem animal in your found log.

Location: at the Sherburne Nature Center and Trails, more info at http://www.tyngsboroughma.gov/sherburne/ You can stay on the trails until you're 50' away from the cache. Trail maps are often available at the parking kiosk. Congratulations to Azure Sky for the FTF!
