Jungle Scenery Cut and Paste Activity

Here's another great project contributed by Sharra!         Leanne, here's a jungle activity I prepared for my daughter when we worked on the letter J. I created the background scenes in a digital coloring book where you pick the trees and scenery and put them together. They are created black and white first and then I colored them in the program. Jungle1.gif is a set of pictures I put together from various public clip art (anything I could find that would fit in the jungle scenes as well as the letters for the word Jungle.) the animals were a little hard to cut out and I had to do it for Stephanie. (She did the pasting though and loved it.) You may have something better. My daughter really enjoyed using the colored backgrounds and pasting the animals on them especially the hippo in the water and the toucan's on limbs. Another activity we used the backgrounds for was sponge painting. We have a set of animal shaped sponges. I think the black and white would be great coloring for older children but maybe tedious for younger ones.

Tiger attacks guy on elephant full video

This program centers on a hypothetical battle between two animals that could possibly meet in the wild, or in some cases, have been compared to each other by scientists. CGI  replicas and models were used to collect data (such as strength, bite force, etc.) about the animals. Then, in a virtual arena, a brief computer-animated fight scene reveals the results. Since this was done artificially, results may vary. Each episode of Animal Face-Off is 1 hour long, with the exception of the 12th episode, which is 2 hours long (including commercials).

Think of an animal

Think of an animal... What do you picture? Chances are it is one of the animals of Africa. These are the creatures we learn of in our youngest days. Lion, elephant, giraffe, rhino, zebra. These are the creatures that we use to define ourselves as human. African animals are icons of the wild. Yet, human influence is taking its toll. Most large mammals in Africa are threatened by poaching or habitat destruction as the population increases. The number of people in Africa will double in less than 50 years, with untold consequences for the wildlife that competes for the same natural resources.

Save the tiger, says Tendulkar after ton

Hamilton: Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar on Friday dedicated his 42nd Test hundred, which put India in command against New Zealand, to the cause of tiger conservation.

"I would very much like to like to dedicate this hundred to tiger conservation because that is what right from the start of this tour the whole team had decided. I have given a couple of messages as well in this regard. So I would dedicate this one to tiger conservation," said Tendulkar, who smashed a sublime 160 at Seddon Park.

On the eve of the first Test, Tendulkar had supported the cause, expressing his concerns at the dwindling numbers of tigers in India.



"At the start of the century, there were nearly 40,000 tigers in India. Today, that number has shrunk to 1,700 and we are losing at least one tiger a month. The rate at which the tiger is being hunted down is alarming," Tendulkar had said.

What Types of Trees Grow in the Jungle?

 Jungles are found on five of the Earth's continents. The type of tree that grows in a particular jungle depends largely upon what part of the world the jungle is located.
