Africa Wildlife Site

Africa Freak is a website created by Michael Theys who apparently has spent the majority of his life living in Africa. His site offers outstanding wildlife photographs with interesting text. He shares his knowledge of nature, conservation, animals and birds of Africa in a non-technical writing style appropriate for students and teachers. I believe any child who has learned to read could gain some knowledge from the text on the site.

In addition, Theys includes video experiences through BBC Wildlife and U-tube, such as this video of a safari group approaching a mother and baby Rhinoceros http://www.africafreak.com/how-to-approach-a-mother-rhino-calf-on-foot-in-a-single-lesson/

Though I prefer recommending free educational material that are interactive or engage the parent with the child, I find the photos and video on this site thrilling and worth the time you, your student or child might spend there. It's http://www.africafreak.com/. Be sure and check out his About Me page.
