Some animals that live in Africa are Camels, Lions, Zebras, Giraffes and the African Elephant. North America North America is third largest continent. Canada is the largest country in North America which includes animals like polar bears, seals, moose, and whales. Canada is mostly cold, since it is close to the top of the world. The United States contains a large river, Mississippi River, which divides the east from the west. U.S. includes some animals like deer, turkeys, and wolves. The U.S. has cold parts and hot parts. Mexico is south of the U.S. It has many jungles and volcanoes. Some animals from Mexico are jaguars, puma, and the ocelot. The weather in Mexico is hot and dry in parts and wet in other parts.

It is 50 meters high above the water, but ninety percent of it is under the water. It is so cold in the winter that only scientists and exploration groups live there.

One is called the Alps. The weather is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The Rhine River is the longest river in Germany. There are several other countries in Europe also. England, Spain, and France are only a few. There aren t many large animals in Europe because there are so many people. The only animal that runs free is the reindeer and it can be found in Northern Europe. Australia Australia is the smallest continent in the world.
