Jackie's Wild Seattle gives Shannon and Cody urgent wildlife-rescue problems, including a coyote in an elevator and an injured seal below a tide-threatened cliff. Species behavior, injury, access, timing, and rehabilitation constraints determine whether each rescue can succeed.
The science inside
- Animals & Zoology
- Medicine & Health
Your child will meet:
- Wildlife rescue begins by assessing species behavior, injury, location, human risk, and changing environmental conditions.
- An injured wild animal may need stabilization and professional rehabilitation rather than immediate release or household care.
- Tides and urban structures can turn an animal-care problem into a time-sensitive safety problem for rescuers.
Use it this way
Parent effort: Quick discussion
Heart-stopping adventure on the wild side of Seattle!
How do you rescue a coyote trapped in the elevator of a downtown office building? How do you save an injured seal at the bottom of a cliff with the tide coming in? Fourteen-year-old Shannon and her younger brother, Cody, are about to find out as they spend a summer of breathless, sometimes reckless, often hilarious adventure visiting their uncle Neal at a wildlife center called Jackie's Wild Seattle.
When Uncle Neal is injured, it's up to Shannon, Cody, and Sage, the rescue dog, to keep the circle of healing unbroken.
