I guard and protect "my" patch of flowers. I may eat 50 to 60 meals there in a single day. Because of my bright and shiny colors, people in some parts of the world give me names like: shining sunbeam, red-tailed comet, white-bellied woodstar, and purple-crowned fairy. I have two legs, hollow bones, and I'm warm-blooded. My food is mainly nectar sipped from flowers, but I eat insects, too. I do not gather pollen. I can fly up, down, sideways, forward, backward, and hover. I have a long beak and tiny feet. My wings move so fast they hum. Can you guess who I am?

I like to fish and I like to climb. I'm busiest at night. I have rings around my tail and soft and lovely fur. Because I look like I'm always cleaning things, people call me "little washer bear", but I'm not a bear! I have two arms and two legs and I'm a mammal. I walk on all fours and I'm a little roly-poly. I like to eat whatever I can find because I'm an omnivore. I have a black mask around my eyes and some people call me "the little bandit". Can you guess who I am?

I'm born one thing and become another. I start off as a vegetarian and end up as an insect eater. I have special pads at the bottom of my hands so that I can climb. I have a sticky tongue so that I can catch food. I spend time in the water and time in plants and trees. I'm cold-blooded and I have to bask in the sunlight to stay warm. In cold weather, I burrow into the ground. You might think I'm slimy. I like to sing. My favourite song is "It's Not Easy Being Green." Can you guess who I am?
Ribbit. Oh darn, I gave myself away!

I am small and busy. I'm
fuzzy and I love flowers. I fly and hover and even things a hundred times bigger than I am treat me with respect. I am very sociable and my home is busy; you could call it a hive of activity. I'm an invertebrate with two legs and wings. I have antennae but no TV. I'm a real honey. Can you guess who I am?

I am a very large mammal. In many ways, I am very much like you! I love and take care of my family, which usually has nine or ten members. I have long thick hair, and I am very, very strong. My family, and other families like mine, are in serious trouble because of war and because our homes are being taken away. Can you guess who I am?

I have a really, really long tail that is so strong I can almost stand on it! I get around by jumping, and I am very good at it. I carry my children around in a pouch attached to my belly. Can you guess who I am?
