Party for the Planet- Animals in Different Climates

Where would you find a penguin?

You may forget whether penguins live near the North or South pole. (The answer is South.) Even so, you probably wouldn't look for one in the rainforest. Each species is found only in a certain set of habitats out of the many on Earth. One of the most important factors determining where different species can live is climate.

In this content, guide the children to find out the features of animals in different climates of the earth and explore environmental issues to think about how we can contribute to creating a healthier environment for all living things on the planet!

Celebrate Earth Day, World Environment Day every day. SAVE NATURE, SAVE ANIMALS, SAVE THE WORLD!🐧🐻🦔🦥🐋
