So, this doesn’t belong here....
This particular oak tree stood out about 40 feet and had a pretty large width as its branches extended for a large space I’d say about 60 feet from the actual base it has brown bark leading up to branches that as of right now don’t have a large number of leaves the leaves that it does have are both green and an orangeish color. This tree also has southern Moss growing on it
This lizard was found in the backyard. The backyard is has a good amount of trees and bushes, perfect for animals to hide and use. It is a brown color lizard, about 5 inches as a rough estimate. The weather outside was warm and sunny. Lizards, which are cold blooded (ectotherms), rely on sunlight to obtain body heat. A key characteristic of lizards is their long tail which they can shed and regrow to avoid predators (CK-12, n.d). Key characteristics of reptiles include laying eggs on land, and have scaly skin that does not allow respiration underwater (LibreTexts, 2019).

This organism was found next to a group of similar organisms on a sidewalk. This habitat is mainly forest area before it was converted to housing. The organism is black all around and has a single orange stripe running from it’s cephalothorax to it’s anus. It is shaped like a stick as it has cephalization in it’s anterior end. This organism is a bilaterian and is approximately 3-4 inches long and 1 inch wide. It appears to have six walking legs. http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/lubber.htm
I have no idea what this fish is, found it in a local pond
This fern was light green, and sometimes brown in color. The pinna of the fern were spaced out along the stem, with long and rounded pinnules closely condensed to form a blade-like shape. The fern had a soft texture to it, as it was covered in soft fuzz (trichomes). Each frond was about 1 foot in length and about 3-4 inches wide. The ferns were found growing in a sporadic formation along the bank of a small creek (named Sherrys Brook). The fern likely belongs to the Thelypteris genus; and though its exact species has not been identified, it may be a Southern Shield Fern/River Fern/Wood Fern (Thelypteris kunthii). These ferns are common in the southeastern United States.
