Do you like to learn about animals? There are so many different, beautiful animals all around the world. To learn more check out the National Geographic Kids Animal site. One great thing about this site is that it allows you to find animals based on categories.

Experiment by checking off different categories and see which animals come up. Tell us a little bit about the different searches you did and which animals you thought were the most interesting.

Here is my example:

I clicked on "insects" that live in the "grassland". One of my results was a tarantula. Did you know there are hundreds of species of tarantula?
