One story was about how the possum lost the fur on its tail, and another was about Indian Holy men and Chiefs having to get their eagle feathers without using a weapon.

This shows the actual wingspan of the average adult eagle which is 7 feet long!</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5680eda0.jpg" border=0 width="270" height="218" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 214 WIDTH="126"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="214" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="126" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="166"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="214" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="166" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="166"><div> The nature center had about six birds living in captivity outside of the building.
