1 Rainforest animals

2 If you said raw meet you are
Correct. This lepard looks hungry what would you feed him. An apple B. 6 fish C. Raw meat

3 Jaguars This jaguar is only 5 months old. You would think that is young but it is not young as it can already look after itself. What would you name this cub and why?

4 macaw Some macaws can grow really big and can be colourful and majestic. They are big birds that eat fish

5 What is this creature? How do you know?

6 The poison frog's bright, eye-catching colors—shades of blue, red, orange, yellow, green, and black—are also a form of protection. To other animals, the colors mean "I am poisonous, so don't even think about eating me!" The Choco Indians in South America use the frogs' poison to coat the tips of the blow darts they use for hunting. You'll also hear poison frogs called "poison arrow frogs," but that's not accurate. The South American tribes that hunt with arrows usually coat their arrow tips with plant poisons, not frog poisons. The deadly poison is found in the frog's skin, making it too toxic to touch. The Indians pick them up with waxy leaves and then dip their blow dart in the frog's skin secretions. Just a tiny drop can kill the birds and small mammals that the Indians hunt for food. Most frog species are nocturnal, but poison frogs are active during the day, when their jewel-colored bodies can best be seen and avoided

7 Panthers Most jaguars have orange-brown fur with black spots, but some have black-on-black coloration. So, are they black panthers? No! “Panther” is just a general term that comes from Panthera, the scientific name for big cats. It is also sometimes used to describe leopards, jaguars, and mountain lions. Jaguars can run quickly, but they hide and wait for their food to stroll by instead of chasing it like cheetahs and lions do. Their large jaw muscles allow them to kill their prey by piercing the skull with their sharp teeth. As people move into jaguar habitat, these cats have started feeding on livestock. Ranchers often respond by trapping and poisoning the jaguars. Logging, mining, and farming also leave less food and habitat for jaguars, causing them to become endangered.

8 The toucan's bill is also a big deal
The toucan's bill is also a big deal. Some say that the large and brightly colored bill is used to attract potential mates. Others suggest it is useful in scaring away predators or animals that might compete with the toucan for food. Still others believe it is an adaptation that allows the toucan to reach food way out at the ends of branches that are not strong enough to hold the bird itself. Toucans are known to reach deep into tree cavities to grab eggs from other birds or to dig deeply into their own nesting cavities to clear them out, and pairs have been seen tossing fruit to one another in a courtship ritual. No matter what purpose you decide on, the toucan’s bill is a very useful tool!
