SPIDER | Animals For Kids
Spiders. Deep in the forest. You might just come across a creepy crawly Spider. Spiders can be found all over the world. From Timbuktu to Uluru.
Clever spiders can make silk. Which they use to spin elaborate spider webs. Spider webs are great for catching a spider’s dinner.
Blowing gently in the wind, unsuspecting flies get caught in the spider webs. The spider then wraps the fly or other prey up with silk.That way the spider can eat the prey later. Some spiders use venom to like a snake, to paralyse there pray.
But most spiders are harmless to humans. Did you know? Spiders are arachnids not insects. Insects have 6 legs, 3 body parts and antennae. While Spiders have 8 legs, 2 body parts and no antennae. They can have up to 8 eyes too, but they still don’t have very good eyesight.
Daddy long legs have really long legs. And some spiders are brilliant and white. Spiders can lay unto 1000 eggs. That’s a lot of babies when they hatch, isn’t it?

GIRAFFE | Animals For Kids
Giraffe always have the best view! Tall necks and long skinny legs. Giraffes tower above all their friends.
Their large bulging eyes give them great all-round vision too.
Giraffes bodies are covered wonderful orangey brown spots. This works as great camouflage. They still have to be very careful while drinking though. That's when they are most vulnerable to attack from other animals, like lions! It's always good to have a friend to look out for you!
Being so tall means they can eat from the tallest trees. Giraffes love to munch down thorny Acacia trees. Luckily their purple tongues are tough. And covered in strong bristly hair, to protect them from the sharp thorns.
Naughty male Giraffes sometimes fight over girls. They do this by hitting their necks together. Bam. They're long necks crash into each other. Would you like to see how tall a giraffe is in real life?
Yes, that would be impressive!
