Animals & Wildlife

Animals are the category everyone starts with as a child and rarely returns to as an adult, which leaves a lot of half-remembered facts lying about. This one covers the record holders, the group names, the anatomy that sounds invented but is not, and the behaviour that turns out to have a clear purpose once explained. It spans oceans, deserts and back gardens. The explanations focus on why an animal is built or behaves the way it is, because almost every strange fact about wildlife is an answer to a problem the animal had to solve. Approachable enough to play with children in the room.
