Spring Break Extra Credit: Hike

For this spring break assignment, I went on the field trip to Jasper Ridge!
Something interesting that I observed was the Indian Warrior plant. I learned that this plant is a parasitic plant. This means that it does not have a green chlorophyl and does not use photosynthesis to gain nutrients. Instead, the Indian Warrior survives by absorbing nutrients and water from the roots of other plants around it.

Also, while I was on UC Berkeley's campus, I saw a Striped Skunk for the first time in my life. I made sure that I was very careful in keeping my distance to not frighten the Striped Skunk, but I knew I had to capture the moment!
