This site was created as a resource for students and interested individuals to engage in science in a myriad of ways. My hope is that you use these resources to become connected with nature and learn more about the world around you.
Please pardon the progress as this site is being built. Some links may be inactive.
Wildlife Around the World
With over 1.67 million described species on the planet, our world is filled with an astounding diversity of organisms. Photographs throughout this site were taken by Marks S. McWhorter unless stated otherwise. Pictures are organized by location to emphasize the adaptive traits of organisms within each respective habitat. Please feel free to copy these images; however, any pictures duplicated should cite Marks McWhorter as the photographer.
Life at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School
The 75 acres of the North campus sits within a region just meters away from the Natchez Trace Parkway corridor and west of purple creek in Ridgeland, Mississippi. This location, along with the acres of natural habitat surrounding the lake and wetland habitats invites for multiple native (and some invasive) species.
Additional Resources
Use this site to access images of lab specimens, microscope slides, herbarium mounts, dichotomous keys for native organisms, and any other materials needed for biology, zoology, and environmental science courses at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School.
