When we asked C.C. King for a description of her presentation, she sent a poem which says it all:

This is my skin —

which I used to be in!

I left it behind

to teach about my kind.

What can you see

that it tells about me?

Come guess your best;

we’ll fill in rest.

North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is the state government agency created by the General Assembly in 1947 to conserve and sustain the state’s fish and wildlife resources through research, scientific management, wise use and public input. The Commission is the regulatory agency responsible for the enforcement of N.C. fishing, hunting, trapping and boating laws.

The ncwildlife.org has some great resources for learning about wildlife in North Caroline. For example here’s a directory of different animal species:

This is a great tool for identifying the different animals that you might encounter around the state.
