Option 1

 * Article title: American red squirrel
 * Article Evaluation: I chose this article because I wanted to focus on animals I regularly find on Berkeley's campus. I felt that this article is pretty full in terms of etymology and behavior. i would like to add more to the article about where these animals can be found and why they have spread so far across the world.

Option 2

 * Article title: American crow
 * Article Evaluation: This is another animal I find a lot in Berkeley. I think one interesting thing I could add to the wikipedia would be some folklore that is centered around crows and why they have developed. Because these crows are so prevelant in so many areas of this world, it has woven its way into stories and memories.

Option 3

 * Article title: White-tailed deer
 * Article Evaluation: Although not too popular in Berkeley, these deer were everywhere on the East Coast where I grew up. They are available to reproduce so quickly because there are no natural predators, but that also means that they are the most popular animal when it comes to roadkill. I would like to add to the wikipedia page some information about the expansion of humans into their territories and how it affects their lifestyles, as well as ours.
