Weekend Website #98: Smithsonian Wild
Every Friday, I share a website (or app) that I’ve heard about, checked into, been excited to use. This one is a math app. Since ‘math’ is by far the most popular search term of readers who seek out my blog, I know you’re going to enjoy this review.

This website is devoted to sharing images of animals in their wild habitats. The pictures–201,000 and counting to date–have been captured by motion-triggered ‘camera traps’–cameras that are activated by an animals movement or body heat and then take pictures of them in their most natural of states–when they believe they are alone. Pictures include dozens of varieties of animals in the following categories:
