Experiments with Leo and Rus

 Hello Readers!  Leo and Rus have been busy with science experiments, and I have some pictures to share with you today.

 Recently they have studied population of animals.  They marked off an area of the floor (2x2) as a territory.  They started out with three deer in the square and threw a cougar on the deer.  For example, if it landed on one deer, then there would be two remaining.  But, those two would each have one baby, and Rus would add 2 babies to the square which would make four deer total.  If he threw and it landed on one, there would be six deer total.
