Welcome to the #FedFeed, a daily collection of federal ephemera gathered from social media and presented for your enjoyment.

The FBI created an online educational computer game to teach children about internet safety in 2012. Since then, 870,000 students across the U.S. have competed in national competitions held each year. The 2016-2017 competition officially begins today.

From the U.S. Forest Service, Slade Elbert of Bourne, Oregon gets really excited about picking mushrooms in the forest.

And from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a baby sea turtle. Just because.

Sea turtles! And how we are working to protect them on the Atlantic coast https://t.co/kt1DlSqvMd pic.twitter.com/MCs58gcjd1
