Animal All-Stars

4/2/2012

The program introduces creatures that boast "number one" status from various angles, such as body size, running speed, and parent-child love, and introduces their physical characteristics and surprising tricks. This time, it's the African elephant, the largest animal on land. It explains why a large body is an advantage. It also compares the physical characteristics of elephants with those of their close relatives, the manatee and the Asian elephant. The mini corner, "Today's Recommendation," features a family of red foxes. The mother fox is overwhelmed by her growing cubs.
