Survival Kits!

Giant otter

We all need water, food and shelter. But wild animals don’t get water from a tap, live in centrally heated houses or eat food from supermarkets!

So, how do they survive? We’ll explore a selection of artefacts and work out how different animals are adapted for survival and how they are dependent on other animals and plants that share their habitat.

We’ll look at food chains and the risky business of animals finding food and avoiding being eaten!
