Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and grow from a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development.

There are animal groups called

mammals, reptiles, amphibian, birds

and fish.

Mammals are a group of vertebrate animals constituting the class Mammalia, and characterized by the presence of mammary glands which in females produce milk for feeding their young, a neocortex, fur or hair, and three middle ear bones

Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits. They form a sister group to the tunicates, together forming the olfactores. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups.

FUN FACTS

There are 1 million ants

for every human in the

world. A snail can sleep

for three years at a time.

One species of jelly fish is

immortal. A bat can eat up to 1 thousand insects an hour.

Roots, Trunk, and Branches in the Summer

A tree grows both in height and girth each year. The branches stretch skyward to get as much light as possible. The trunk and branches grow to support an increasing number of leaves and branches.



During the summer all the leaves on the plants are green

and during the autumn all the leaves are brown,yellow,

orange and red. None of the leaves in autumn are

green because it's not the right weather for green leaves.

A waterfall is an area where

water flows over a vertical

drop or a series of steep drops in the course of a stream or river.

Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over

the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.



The roar from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe is so loud that it can be heard from 25 miles (40 kilometers) away! Angel Falls, located in Venezuela, is the world's longest waterfall at 3,212 feet (979 meters). It is so long that the water usually turns to mist before it reaches the bottom.

FUN FACTS!

A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. The biological function of a flower is to facilitate reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs.

• Flowers did not always exist; they first appeared 140 million years ago.
• Several centuries ago in Holland, tulips were more valuable than gold.
• Broccoli is actually a flower.
• Some plants such as orchids do not need soil to grow-they get all of their nutrients from the air.

FUN FACTS

Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years. More rigorously, it is the mean and variability of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years.

Climate change is dangerous because it can harm a lot of animals and even us. It can harm us by changing weathers in different seasons.

Climate can affect animals by destroying their

habitat and even there family.

Climate change can be dangerous to people because it could snow during summer or it could be sunny during

the winter snow.

Fun facts

Most of the increase in global temperature since 1950 can be cause

by human activity.

Peafowl is a common name for three bird species in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the family Phasianidae, the pheasants and their allies. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl are referred to as peahens, even though peafowl of either sex are often referred to colloquially as "peacocks". 

• Only the males are actually “peacocks.”
• A family of peafowl is called a “bevy.”
• They're not born with their fancy tail feathers.
• They don't have to be killed for their feathers.
• They can fly, despite their massive trains.
• There are all-white peafowl.

FUN FACTS!

Elephants are the largest existing land animals. Three species are currently recognised: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; extinct members include the mastodons. 

The Sri Lankan elephant is one of three recognised subspecies of the Asian elephant, and native to Sri Lanka. Since 1986, Elephas maximus has been listed as endangered by IUCN as the population has declined by at least 50% over the last three generations, estimated to be 60–75 years.

The African forest elephant is one of the two living African elephant species. It is native to humid forests in West Africa and the Congo Basin. It is the smallest of the three living elephant species, reaching a shoulder height of 2.4 m. 

The stoat has an orangey-brown back, a creamy white throat and belly, and a black-tipped tail. It is larger than the similar weasel, has a longer tail and has a distinctive bounding gait, arching its back as it moves; Weasels do not bound, but run close to the ground.

The stoat or short-tailed weasel, also known as the ermine, is a mustelid native to Eurasia and North America. Because of its wide circumpolar distribution, it is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List

The stoat is a small predator, with a long, low-slung body that makes it particularly well suited to hunting small rodents and rabbits. It can easily kill an adult rabbit, which is much larger than itself, with a bite to the base of the skull.

Stoats in their white winter coat are also called ermines. They can grow to be as long as 30 centimeters (a foot long). They eat other small animals and bird eggs, and can kill animals bigger than themselves.

FUN FACTS!

The raccoon, sometimes called the common raccoon to distinguish it from other species, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. It is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm, and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg.

They're Astonishingly Adaptable. In recent decades, we've paved over the raccoons' natural habitat, turning woodlands into concrete jungles.
