Where they live: In the countries that
circle the North Pole - Canada, US, Russia, Norway and Greenland.
Interesting facts: Polar bears have powerful noses that
can smell food miles away.
Polar bears have two layers of fur that keep them warm even
in when the Arctic temperatures get as cold as -45°C.
Bird
of the Month - Mynahs
Size: 9 - 10 inches in length
Where they live: India, Thailand, Malaysia,
and, of course, Singapore, as well as many other tropical
places
in the world.
Interesting facts: Mynah birds lay
eggs that are pale blue and glossy.
Mynah birds spend
a lot of time around people and can learn
to imitate
the sounds they hear, even saying words. So don't be
surprised if you hear a mynah say "Hello".
