It's the return of the Bathroom Readers!
Just returned from running errands: I mailed off Charlotte and Sean's birthday cards, and bought habitat / Twisted Whiskers stickers! (plus Farrah's birthday card) I also used up my Chapters January $5 coupon on Outlander (my mom's birthday gift... I'm evil, hehe) / Uncle John's Great Big Bathroom Reader #11 (Jen's birthday gift) / Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Shoots and Scores, which I *had* to get for myself since it's about hockey! (plus two bookmarks for my and Jen's books) Don't ask me why I'm getting gifts for people whose birthdays are in MAY, but I guess it helps with the "organized" reputation I have among certain friends of mine. ;) Then I went to Boston Pizza for a Pasta Tuesday meal, and watched part of the Canucks-Blue Jackets game: the Canucks lost 6-5 thanks to a former Canuck (Trevor Letowski). Mario Lemieux retired today for the second time... I think I need stronger glasses or something, because I read "Sidney Crosby" as "Gooey Curry." o_O
I should also note that Blogger has a complete outage from 4-4:15 (probably last till 4:30-ish, however) tomorrow, just for my own reference. Also, the Internet was being a poop and decided to give me all sorts of lovely error messages. I hate when that happens... luckily, a restart seems to have cured it. *crosses fingers*
Here's a description of the habitat animal stickers, and the facts they had on the back:
Australian Outback: crocodile, emu, kangaroo and joey, koala, rainbow lorikeets, wallaby
* These isolated plains cover roughly two-thirds of Australia's central inland area: nearly two million square miles.
* The outback's intense heat and dry, dusty land cause most animals to be inactive during the day.
* Many Aborigines live in the outback's Northern Territory: they are Australia's original inhabitants.
* Koalas get water from eating eucalyptus leaves.
Jungle habitat: elephants, monkey, orangutans, parrot, tapir, toucan, tree frog
* Jungles cover large portions of West Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America: about 6% of the earth.
* One-third of the world's jungles are found in Brazil.
* Jungle trees have thin, smooth bark to help evaporate water and prevent the growth of fungus in such a wet environment.
* Orangutans shelter themselves from the sun and rain by holding large leaves over their heads.
North American Woodland habitat: bear, deer and faun, moose, porcupine, rabbit, raccoon, skunk
* The wooded eastern regions of the United States and Canada cover two-thirds of North America.
* Forests cover 45% of Canada's land. In fact, Canada holds 10% of the world's forests: nearly one billion acres.
* Woodland soil becomes fertile by absorbing nutrients from fallen leaves.
* Cold winter temperatures help preserve nuts and seeds stored by squirrels in the hollows of trees.
Polar habitat: owl, penguin, polar bear and cub, reindeer, seal, wolf
* The polar regions are the icy, frozen areas of land and water around the North (Arctic) and South (Antarctic) Poles.
* Permafrost keeps large plants and trees from growing, forcing animals to feed on fish and krill.
* Thick fur coats, an extra layer of blubber below the skin, and other adaptations help some animals survive winters with average temperatures of -30°F.
* Polar bears need to consume 5.5 pounds of fat every day to maintain their weight.
Savanna habitat: baboon, giraffe, hippopotamus, hyena, leopard, lion, zebra
* Savannas are tropical grasslands with widely scattered low trees and are found in northern Australia, southern India, Asia, and over half of Africa.
* The Serengeti Plains of Tanzania are probably the best-known savanna.
* The trees of the savanna have trunks and widespread root systems that store water during the long drought season. Thick bark offers protection against annual fires.
* By eating shrubs and tree leaves, elephants make more light available to the savanna grass, encouraging its growth.
Intelligence Test Part 1 and Intelligence Test Part 2... can you do these? I didn't do very well on them, but them's the breaks!
