By Rosie Centrone

Read the scripture references and fill in the blanks. Then find each animal in the letter square by reading forward, backward, down, up, and diagonally. Write the unused letters in the blanks and unscramble them to find another type of animal mentioned in the Book of Mormon. What is it and what is the reference for it? (Use the index at the back of the scriptures.)
