I chose an animal that students often ask about, a fisher. At the elementary level I did a regular search in the encyclopedia using the word fisher. There were quite a few articles about fisherman but none on the animal. There was an image , but I was unable to find any written article. Then I checked under Additional Content -Journals and magazines. This was taking so long to load that I stopped the search and clicked on The web's best websites. The first site listed was Defenders of Wildlife - Fisher, so I tried that. Here I found basic facts about fishers which was quite good. It was divided in to categories such as Diet, Range, Behavior, etc. I learned about the habitat from reading the Behavior section. This was short and sweet, but quite informative.

- Playing with citing the images. Easy to do on the Britannica page (lower image). Wondering if using these images is a copyright violation. I did go back and try to see if there was anything under Journals and magazines, but once again it was so slow that I stopped the search. I also looked in Animal Kingdom under Features, but found nothing.
