  • Hidden Worlds: Discover What Lives Under Rocks
    That depends on where the rock is! Here are some possibilities:

    Under a rock in a garden:

    * Insects: Ants, beetles, spiders, earthworms, millipedes, centipedes

    * Small animals: Lizards, frogs, toads, snails, slugs

    * Plants: Moss, lichen, small ferns

    * Dirt and debris: Leaves, twigs, pebbles

    Under a rock in a forest:

    * Similar to a garden, but more: More diverse insects, including some that are poisonous or bite

    * Larger animals: Snakes, salamanders, small mammals like shrews or voles

    * Mushrooms and fungi: Especially if it's a damp forest

    * More organic matter: Fallen leaves, dead wood

    Under a rock on a beach:

    * Sea creatures: Crabs, barnacles, starfish, sea anemones

    * Seashells: Empty or inhabited

    * Sand and seaweed

    * Small stones and pebbles

    Under a rock in a desert:

    * Very few creatures: The desert is harsh, so most animals will be buried deep or under shade

    * Scorpions: These can hide under rocks in the day and come out at night

    * Lizards: Some lizards, like desert iguanas, will hide under rocks

    * Sand and dust: Lots of sand and dust!

    General things you might find:

    * Other rocks: Rocks often form in layers or clusters

    * Hidden treasures: Maybe an old coin, a piece of jewelry, or a special stone

    * Something unexpected: The world is full of surprises!

    Always be careful when turning over rocks. Some creatures can be venomous or bite, so watch out for snakes, spiders, scorpions, etc.
