### Camp-

Their camp is protected by brambles with the entrance being a small path. There is barely any grass, instead the ground is muddy and cool. The leader's den is located underneath a big oak tree in the roots. The warrior's den is underneath a bramble bush, it looks very prickly from the outside, but the inside is lined with pine needles and moss. At the edge of the clearing, there is a big boulder, called Clanrock, where the leader makes announcements to the clan. Next to Clanrock, there is another rock which is the medicine den. In another hollow, sheltered by a thorn bush is the nursery. The thorns provide protection.

### Toads

Toads are amphibians. They differ from most frogs because they have dry skin, warts, crests behind the eyes, and parotoid glands. The parotoid glands produce a poisonous secretion that helps the toad defend itself from predators.

### Pigeons

Pigeons are gentle, plump, small-billed birds with a skin saddle between the bill and forehead. All pigeons strut about with a characteristic bobbing of the head. Because of their long wings and powerful flight muscles, they are strong, swift fliers.
