is for Ant

Ants are really tiny but very hardworking. They know very well how to work together in order to achieve their goal.

When was the last time you worked together with somebody?

is for Bear

This guy here is a honey lover. Although he is big, he needs a lot of protection because human activity destroys his habitat. In the winter, he takes a long nap.

Do you know of an organisation that helps protect the brown bear in your country?

is for Caterpillar

Hey, look how she's crawling! This little creature has the most fascinating life! From a tiny dot on a leaf, to a green  creeping stick, to a fine chrysalis, to the most amazing, colourful butterfly!

Think of ways to make your life fascinating!

is for Donkey

Can you hear it bray? 

This hardy fellow is smart and curious and friendly, but it won't do you a favour if it 'smells' danger. "Better safe than sorry" is its motto. Next time you see one of its kind, treat it with respect and care.

Always observe how animals are treated by humans! Be on the lookout and take action!

is for Eagle

No, no, no, Mister! Don't give me those sharp looks! I'm not as strong and powerful as you, nor can I soar so high! Oh, how I  admire your sense of freedom!

How would you feel if you were kept in captivity? Jot down 3 adjectives.

is for Frog  

I'm wondering, senοr, if we have met before! Wasn't it you under that spell? Or in that witch's broth, next to the bat and moth? In water or land, you just need a kiss and the magic begins!

Find a story featuring a frog and present it to your classmates!

is for Giraffe

I am the tallest animal on land. I have big eyes, long legs and a longer neck that helps me reach for food and look out for predators: however, I amble most gracefully in the African savannah! Can you count my spots?

is for Horse

From ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, to the Mongols and European knights, to modern racing and therapy, these proud and powerful animals have always been essential to human culture and a source of inspiration to great artists.

Why don't you find out about Pegasus in Greek mythology?

is for Iguana

These exotic creatures are great survivors! Iguanas come from far away places in Central and South America. Their strong limbs  help them crawl and climb.  They can easily adapt in a new environment and are very important to their ecosystems. I know what you're thinking, but... no, it's not a good idea to have one as a pet! Can you guess why?

is for Jaguar

If you ever get lost in the Amazon rainforest, in the middle of the night, be on the lookout for  the large cat, with the big head and the  strong muscles! It can easily  spot you in the dark or swim after you if it mistakes you for a poacher!

Do you know the main threat the Amazon is facing nowadays?

is for Kangaroo

Look how well Skippy can hop on its strong hind legs! It always moves forward, searching for food and water for its joey! If you happen to visit Australia, you may see one right in front of you! Stay cool and take a picture!

Can you find Australia on the map?

is for Ladybug

Just like a caterpillar, this little beetle  hatches from a tiny egg and slowly transforms itself into the round, red insect with the black spots we all know of. For lunch, it likes all kinds of pests; that's why farmers and gardeners love it. 

Next time you find yourself in a garden, look around for a ladybug. It's considered good luck!

is for Mole

You won't see them easily! They are always busy digging their houses in underground tunnels, with their spade-like paws! Even if they can't see very well, their acute sense of smell and touch help them find their food in the soil.

Do you know your strengths and weaknesses?

is for Nightingale

Don't expect to hear its beautiful song when it's cold! But it will be back! And so will spring! Then, its melodic voice will sound again, whistling and trilling through the foliage! Look up and ask: 'Would you mind if I sing along?'

Did you know that males attract females with their song?

is for Ostrich

Run, ostrich, run! I can't catch you! You're much faster than me! Your legs are too long and strong! And your eggs! Your eggs are the largest of all! I could hardly have one for breakfast!  But I'm sure I know your sole desire: how you wish you could fly!

What is your wish?

is for Penguin

These guys here are called Emperors because they are really big! They live in faraway, frozen Antarctica and they love to swim and dive in the icy waters!

 Do you think the melting of the sea ice will affect them in any way?
