Global woodland animals fact file - Worksheet

The 'Global Woodland Animals Fact File' worksheet provides an engaging exploration into the diverse range of animals inhabiting forests and woodlands around the world, excluding those found within the UK. It lists six fascinating animals that make their homes in these environments: elephants, tigers, birds of paradise, crocodiles, bears, and king cobras. For each of these animals, the worksheet prompts students to delve deeper into various aspects of their lives, such as what the male and female of the species are called, their specific habitats, whether they dwell above or below ground, their dietary preferences, modes of locomotion, natural predators or threats, the countries where they are commonly found, and their life expectancy.

The worksheet encourages students to consider the reasons why these animals choose particular habitats, prompting a discussion about the characteristics of woodlands and forests both within the UK and globally that make them suitable for such wildlife. By filling in the provided sections, learners can create a comprehensive fact file for each animal, gaining a broader understanding of the adaptations and behaviours that enable these creatures to thrive in their natural environments. This educational resource, provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, is designed to enhance students' knowledge of animal ecology and the importance of habitat conservation.
