You can explore the animal kingdom at this BBC website. Learn new vocabulary while you find out interesting facts about your favourite (or not) animals. Unfortunately the videos do not work outside the UK.
Guess the animal:
1.- They are elusive, nocturnal, pig-like creatures that live on a diet of ants and termites. They have long extensible tongues and flexible tubular snouts - perfect tools for sucking up over 50,000 insects in one sitting, which they then swallow whole.
2.- They are insects which glow.
3.- They are nocturnal birds of prey. They hoot.
4.- They are cold-blooded reptiles which come in many shapes and sizes. Some change body colours, other can lose body parts and grow them again and there's one which can even walk on water.
5.- They are in the same great ape family as the chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans - with which they share a common ancestor. A behaviourally, socially and culturally diverse species, they are the only known species to build fires, cook food and clothe themselves.
Here's just the beginning of the film the Ant and the Aardvark. You can watch the rest on Youtube.com if you like this. Enjoy!
