woods, ears hearing
every sound, eyes

Do any animals eat
others? What do we

Winding swiftly
through the water…
Finish this story!
Create two lists of
predators and prey.
Could any be both?

called ‘parasitic
plants’ and feed off
others. Mistletoe is
one of these!
Find out what they
do to the plants
they live on!

and pictures of birds
of prey in flight. Can
you use pipe cleaners
(ask if you need
some!) to create a
bird of prey.

What amazing
creatures did
they first

8. What is the
largest wingspan
for a predator

Record a
selection of wing
spans and think
about how many
of your hands
