South American animals for kids
South America is home to some very unusual animals. These guides cover capybaras, sloths and poison dart frogs. The capybara is the biggest rodent in the world. Sloths move so slowly that green algae can grow in their fur. You can find out how fast a sloth can really go and where sloths live. The poison dart frog guide explains why such a small frog is so brightly coloured, and how its colours warn hungry animals to stay away.
