Did you know that elephants are the biggest land animals on Earth? They are very strong. They also have an amazing trunk! An elephant's trunk is like a long nose, but they use it for many things.

Dolphins are known to be very clever animals that live in the ocean. They are excellent swimmers, of course. But did you know they communicate with each other? Dolphins use many different sounds, like clicks and whistles, to 'talk' to other dolphins. Scientists believe they use these sounds to share information and work together.

Giant pandas are famous for their black and white fur. They look very cute! These large bears live mainly in the mountain forests of China. What do they eat? Mostly bamboo! Pandas eat a lot of bamboo every day – sometimes for up to 12 hours! Finding enough bamboo is very important for them.
