Title: Summer Learning Journey

Day 3

Tell us which one of the videos you liked the best and why

Activity 1:

The video I liked was the zero invasive predators, I choose this video because it’s all about predators eating native New Zealand animals such as Kiwi, Tui and many more. They build transmitters to know what the native animals are doing so they could rescue the eggs and chicks before they are eaten.

2. Males dolphin are slightly smaller and lighter than female dolphin.

3. Females have their first calf (baby) between 7 – 9 years of age.
