Voici un hippopotame

Hello little Pangolin! I would like to caress you, but your body is covered with scales! Yet you are neither a fish nor a snake! No no, but your skin is made like this, it looks like a knight's armor! You live in the tropical regions of Africa and Asia.

Little fennec, you are so cute! You are a tiny fox, the smallest in the world in fact, and you live in the sandy deserts of Africa... Some people call you the 'pocket fox' because you are so tiny. Oh how I would love to put you in my pocket too!

It's impossible to run next to you, Kangaroo! You belong to a very special family of animals... It's amazing how fast you can run with your big back legs! Like many species of marsupials, that is to say all animals that have a pouch for their babies, kangaroos have not been found for a long time anywhere else than in Oceania…

Hello my little Koala! You are a grey furry animal, you really look like a stuffed animal with your hairy ears and your funny hooked nose! I heard that you are sometimes called the 'Australian Sloth', I wonder why! You live in Australia, that big island in Oceania!

Bbbbrrrrr, it's cold here... You don't have to be to frigid to come and observe you, the polar bear! You are a bear, a big, powerful animal, with a coat as white as snow, and you live on the ice floes around the North Pole. Your fur is not really white. In fact, it has no color, it is the light that bounces off the snow that…

I feel SO small next to you! You are the largest living animal on the planet, and maybe even the heaviest animal of all time... it makes me dream! You live under the sea, but you are not a fish: you are a mammal! Many whales migrate, which means they travel long distances to change locations and give birth to their babies in warmer…

Am I underwater, or in the air? When I see you, manta ray, with your big fins that look like wings, I have the impression that you fly! But no, not at all, you are a fish, and you move well by swimming! Like all rays, you have a very flattened body, shaped like a kite, but you are a giant ray, the biggest in the world, even!

You are a monkey, and not just any monkey! You are the only monkey in the world to live in such a cold country... the snow monkey! Luckily, your beautiful beige fur is very, very warm! But what is this steaming bathtub? Oh yes, we are in Japan! There are a lot of volcanoes, and in some places, the spring water comes out of the heated…

Ah, the wolf, I know you well. You belong to the same family as dogs and foxes... In fact, you look alike! You have almond-shaped eyes, your face is long with a nose at the end: it's called a snout! Your ears are pointed and your tail is also used to communicate! Wild wolves are still found on all continents of the Northern…

You are a very large animal, the largest on earth, in fact! It is your big legs and your very long neck that allow you to be so high! So, what's the view like from up there? Thanks to your big piercing eyes, you can spot the slightest movement in the tall grass... You can therefore see other animals coming from far away! The best…

You are a large animal with a green or gray body, a long tail and an elongated jaw. You walk on all fours, dragging your belly on the ground. But you are a rather aquatic animal, and you swim very well! You look like a sea snake! Your young are born in eggs, and depending on the temperature of the nest, they will all be males or all…

Hello little puffin! You are a nice sea bird, from the same family as the penguins! But you, the puffin, I recognize you right away thanks to your pretty and colorful beak! It is because of this beak that you are sometimes called the 'Sea Clown'! But in winter your pretty colors fade. It's very rare to see you like this…

Hello seahorse! You are a curious fish! Yes, yes, it is not immediately obvious, but you are indeed a fish! A fish that does nothing like the others... We recognize you right away, thanks to your pretty little head that reminds us of a horse's, hence your nickname of sea horse. Your body is elongated, and you stand up straight…

Oh, hello little badger! You are a nice mammal, which is not very easy to observe, because you are very discreet! So today seems to be my lucky day! I heard that you live in a family, can you take me to meet it? You live underground in a family burrow called 'village', sometimes more than a hundred years old!
