Hey, oh do you mind, could you hand me that log? Thanks! I am building my dam. I need a lot of wood, so I am kept busy cutting down trees. My teeth are perfect for the job. When my home is complete it will be dry inside, I make a clever door under the water, but the part I live in is above the water line.

Oh sorry, I almost stepped on you. I love the view from my height and that comes in handy if I need to run away from anything that may find me tasty, though I am so large, not much bothers me and I do have a reputation for being a bit grumpy I think that is just the way my face is.

The Papyrus plant is a sedge and it was indeed used to make papyrus/paper. Native to the shallow water along the Nile River, these airy plants love full sun and the feathery flower is delightful.

The sphinx with the head of a human, wings of an eagle and body of a lion represented royalty and sacred status. A sphinx would stand guard by tombs as the image is quite terrifying.

This bear sphinx is not scary, it is playful, with a brilliant Egyptian headdress and a smiling face, welcoming all pets.

What a find! An ancient or maybe new Egyptian ewer, hand painted with camels, lots of camels on a sun-drenched background. The perfect receptacle for your Egyptian coffee, unless this is a true antique; then you may want to keep it safe in a curio cabinet.

The ancient written language of hieroglyphics is beautiful to look upon, but it was a complicated writing system, usually reserved for the writings on tombs, temples and monuments.

Hieroglyphs used pictures to represent words, sounds, or concepts. No punctuation was used and the writing was not always right to left or left to right, it could be written in any direction, including vertically.

Oh yes, I was important to the royalty of Egypt, but I am a bit busy today and can’t stop to talk unless you want to join me in my rounds. Do you? I usually set out quite early in the morning, to survey my land and see that all is well. I don’t like garbage strewn about and things left to form a noxious haze. So, I clean up every day. It seems to me that cities could use a few of my brothers and sisters. I should talk to them about forming a contract with you.

Well, it was nice chatting with you. If you want to join me I have an extra bag you can use as I don’t think you are going to eat what you find.

I live in one of the most amazing places, Alaska. There are plenty of fish, which I love, especially salmon, and there is no shortage of places to make my den for the winter. I am not quite like you, I make a new den each winter and enjoy the most marvellous sleep. Would you like a tour of my favourite fishing place?

Wow, are you following me? I bet I know what you are doing. When I am shedding, as I walk through the woods bits of my under fur get caught on branches and that is the softest, warmest hair imaginable. The hair left behind on twigs and branches is called Qiviut and is much sought after for knitting warm sweaters. Help yourself to any you find.

As a long-eared owl, I have the privilege of being part of the majestic owl family. My distinctive long ear tufts give me a unique and charming look that can sometimes make me resemble a wise old owl! I love spending my nights hunting for prey with my exceptional hearing and eyesight. Flying on silent wings through the dark forest brings me a sense of freedom and connection to nature that I cherish. Whether I'm hooting softly in the moonlit night or perched peacefully on a branch, I take pride in being a long-eared owl, embracing my role in the circle of life.

Hello there! As a long-eared owl, I truly enjoy the quiet night skies and the peaceful rustling of the trees. My keen sense of hearing allows me to detect even the faintest of sounds, making me a skilled hunter in the darkness. Despite my mysterious appearance, I am actually quite a friendly creature, always ready to socialise with my strigine colleagues and explore the wonders of the night together. Flying silently through the night air brings me immense joy, and I take pride in my beautiful long ear tufts that add a touch of elegance to my charming personality. Let's hoot and chirp together under the moonlit sky!

The Statue of Liberty is the iconic symbol of New York. Standing on Liberty Island in New York harbour this massive statue was a gift to the US from France. A symbol of freedom, hope and inspiration this statue is one of the most recognized structures in the world.

Baked to perfection, these unusual bunny shaped buns shocked their baker when they came out of the oven hopping hot. While the baker loved having the attention-grabbing buns around the bakery, they were shocked to find the buns were baking new buns! Soon the bakery was overrun, and now the baker is giving away as many bun buns as they can before they're baked out of house and bakery.

Shivering cold having lost its leaves for winter you never would know this to be a maple. But the snow and cold are helping produce a sweet spring treat if you are ready with your tap and bucket-maple syrup.
