Out on the savanna
The savanna is a wide, grassy land. Here lives the elephant, the biggest animal on land. The male is a bull, the female a cow, and the baby is a calf.
1
Under the acacia tree
The giraffe is the tallest animal in the world. Her long neck reaches leaves high in the branches. The male is a bull, the female a cow, and the baby is a calf.
2
In the tall grass
A lion rests in the shade and watches the savanna. The male is a lion, the female a lioness, and the babies are cubs. They all live together in a pride.
3
The herd moves on
Zebras look like horses in striped pyjamas. The male is a stallion, the female a mare, and the baby is a foal. They walk in big herds.
4
Down by the river
A hippo rests in the quiet river. All day he lies in the water, and at night he goes out to graze. The male is a bull, the female a cow, and the baby is a calf.
5
When the sun goes down
Meerkats live in big families in tunnels under the ground. One always stands guard. If she squeaks, everybody pops down the hole!
