Weird Amazon Creatures - Fact Cards KS1 KS2

Nine real Amazon rainforest creatures stranger than anything children could invent, on double-sided discovery cards for KS1 and KS2 science and nature tables.

What children will explore

• Adaptation - armoured scales, see-through skin and air-breathing fish
• The Amazon as an ecosystem - rivers, rainforest floor and canopy
• Observation - study the picture, guess what it is, then flip to find out

Meet the creatures

• Amazon river dolphin - the dolphin that turned pink
• Hoatzin - the crested bird whose chicks have wing claws
• Potoo - the ghost bird with an enormous mouth
• Glass frog - see-through skin and a visible beating heart
