Letters for Laxmi's Science Class

Lee and I traveled in Kenya and Tanzania in September, 2010. When our grand-niece Laxmi's science teacher heard we were in Africa, she suggested that her classes (in Florida) would enjoy hearing about the animals we were seeing and any observations we made on their ecology. The following letters are the result:

 

 
 
        
  1. Introducing Aunt Melinda
  2. Primates vs. Thorns
  3. Vervets vs. Leopards
  4. Fur and Ticks
  5. Top Predators
  6. Human Ecology
  7. Of Humans and Primates
  8. The Most Dangerous Animal
  9. On Lions
  10. Getting Your Minerals
  11. The Large and the Small
  12. Lakes of the Great Rift Valley
  13. Avian Biodiversity
  14. Questions and Answers
