World of Animals
excites learners with fun, factual
information and rich multimedia on
their favourite animals, from
monkeys, giraffes, and penguins, to
lesser-known creatures including
axolotls, sugargliders, and wetas.
Not to mention prehistoric animals
and dinosaurs! Kids can browse the
stunning gallery of animals, search
for animals by name, or filter their
favourites by category. Each animal
gets its own profile page, featuring
multimedia and quick facts about the
animal's habitat, size, diet,
lifespan, and conservation status
along with fun facts, such as a
honey bee's 'waggle dance', the
length of time a cockroach can live
without its head, and what makes a
flamingo chick's grey feathers turn
pink.
What's the difference between
an alligator and a crocodile? A
gorilla and an orangutan? What about
a tiger and a saber-toothed cat?
Kids take their understanding of
animals further by analysing the
differences and similarities between
animal species using the World of
Animals' simple but powerful compare
tool.
Which animals can live more
than 100 years? What animal moves
even slower than a tortoise? What is
the largest animal that has ever
lived? (Hint: It's not a
dinosaur!) Rank animals to see how
they stack up against each other in
terms of weight, height, length,
lifespan, land speed, and more.
Order the animals from highest to
lowest (or lowest to highest) and
link back to the animal's profile
for more information.
So now that you're an animal
expert, find out how much you've
learned by playing the entertaining
'Guess Who!' game that highlights
more than 500 animal facts.
Kids of all ages will be
captivated by the World of Animals'
fascinating array of information,
dazzling collection of images and
videos, interactive compare and rank
tools, and an educational game
that's as fun as it is educational. |
