Waseca Biomes Tree of Life Material - 69 Leaves

I just finished happily updating my Waseca Biomes Africa Cards post because when we were laying out the leaves in the Tree of Life Material I found Fact File Cards on the okapi, African pitta, giant African land snail, Nile crocodile, and more!

It would have been great back in February to realize that some of those cards matched the African animals my students were wanting to research.
