Product description

From the author

Anatomy of a Caribou is a single A4 PDF page with a watercolor-style illustration and labels describing antlers, seasonal coat appearance, the nose, tail, hooves and clicking feet.

Use it as a shared science reference during discussion of external features and adaptations. Rotate the page for comfortable reading and ask students to connect each label with the feature it describes. The supplied resource is one labeled diagram, rather than a set of PNG flashcards.
