WELCOME

TO ONE AMAZING DAY ON EARTH!

In our vast solar system, amongst the countless stars and galaxies, there is only one planet that, as far as we know, can sustain life: our own amazing planet, Earth. This extraordinary home of ours, with her vast continents and magnificent oceans, is also home to an astonishing array of wild and wonderful creatures, whose day often begins in much the same way as ours: with the rising of the sun.

Earth: One Amazing Day takes us on a 24-hour journey of discovery across

our unique planet with the sun as our guide. We meet our fellow creatures as they wake from their slumbers in lush jungles, green plains, dry deserts and chilly arctic climes and go about their busy day, hunting for food, taking a nap, finding mates, and having fun or scary adventures! Journeying into the world of narwhals and penguins, sloths and sperm whales, hummingbirds and mayflies, we will discover one thing above all: nothing is more surprising and astonishing than a single day on this planet.

HERE COMES THE SUN

THE MAGICAL DANCE OF EARTH AND SUN IS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE ON OUR PLANET.

Colour us in!

The sun is close enough to us for essential life-giving energy for our creatures, plants and habitats, but far enough away that we are not scorched by its heat. It is a perfect balance to ensure life on earth continues, as it

has done for millions of years.

As the earth spins on its axis, and night turns to day, the sun bathes the planet in light, giving energy to our animals and plants, sending night-time adventurers scurrying into the shadows and waking the creatures from slumber.

The sun evaporates water from land and sea, and this builds into clouds that will give essential rainwater for

the creatures.

Can you colour in a beautiful sunrise for them to wake up to? Use reds, yellows and oranges to create a really stunning dawn scene!

FUN FACT

Plants take the sun's light and use a process called photosynthesis to grow!

BREAKFAST TIME!

THE SUN HAS WOKEN EVERYONE UP AND THE CREATURES ARE HUNGRY!

What did you have for breakfast today? Shall we find out what different creatures eat?

This rare giant panda is hungry for her breakfast. She forages for bamboo, a wooden-like plant which, to you and me, wouldn't taste of much at all! But for the panda, it's just about the only thing she likes to eat. Luckily for her it happens to be the fastest growing plant on the planet- growing a millimeter every minute! Since she's been asleep, her breakfast has grown around her.

Can you draw lots of bamboo growing around her so she has more to eat and can feed her cub?

FUN FACT

Pandas eat for up to 14 hours a day!

The Panda lives in China

Here's baby zebra. She is only 10 days old and she's a brave little thing. She could walk just one hour after she was born! Today she would like her breakfast. But she must cross a raging river to get to the lush green grass in her home in the African plains.

Can you help her cross the river, past the hippos and crocodiles, and reach the other side safely?

FUN FACT

A group of Zebra's is called a DAZZLE.

NOW THEY'RE AWAKE AND FED, THE CREATURES CAN SHOW OFF SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING TALENTS THAT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED.

This is a Serval. She lives in the African Savannah, where the grass grows so high she can't see over the top of it. She has learnt to jump three metres into the

air to pounce on her prey!

The Serval lives in Africa

Colour us in!

This little Hummingbird beats her wings over 80 times a second! How fast can you flap your arms? Poking her long beak into the delicious nectar, she will eat over a thousand meals a day to keep up her energy! That's a lot more than us isn't it?

The Hummingbird lives in Ecuador

The sperm whale has a very unusual talent. They are amongst the loudest creatures on the planet, they make a clicking sound louder than a jet engine!

The Sperm Whale lives in the Ocean

This bear needs to shed his winter coat now that summer has arrived in the mountains. He is going to scratch his back against the tree to help him lose that thick fur!

The Brown Bear lives in North America

Can you jump like a serval, flap your arms like a hummingbird, clap your hands louder than a sperm whale and wiggle against the

wall like a bear?

SOMETIMES THE SUN'S RAYS CAN HELP IN OTHER WAYS - EVEN THE CREATURES UNDERWATER. THIS STRANGE CREATURE IS A NARWHAL. AS THE SUN MELTS THE ICE,

HUGE CRACKS FORM CHANNELS, WHICH HELP THE NARWHALS TO GET ACROSS THE HUGE ICE SHELF.

Colour me in!

Narwhals are part of an unusual family of Monodontidae whales. They are known as Unicorns of the Sea because of the nine-foot long twisted horn jutting from their heads. This is in fact a tooth, or tusk.

No-one knows why the Narwhal has a tusk; no scientists have found a reason for its existence, and these gentle creatures certainly don't use it to hunt. The beautiful Narwhal and its horn are one of the great unsolved mysteries of the marine world.

Can you help the Narwhals to find their way through the melting ice?
