Endangered Animals

Africa's Western Black Rhino is Now Officially Extinct :-(


   Africa’s Western black rhino is now officially extinct, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The last time a black rhino was seen in the wild was 2006. The survey revealed that one quarter of all mammals are at risk of extinction, as are many plant species.
Sometimes when you read about things in a book it doesn't feel very real but this news report and photo tell and story that's very real and very sad. You can learn about other endangered animals at  Kid's Planet a part of the Defenders of Wildlife.The Defenders have been working to protect our nation's wildlife since 1947.
Think you  know all about endangered animals? Then take National Geographic's Endangered Animal Quiz.

Great Scott! It's a Lego DeLorean!

       
This just in. On August 1st Lego Introduced their hottest new kit! (all 401 pieces!)
 
Build a Lego model of the souped-up time traveling DeLorean from the 1985 sci-fi classic Back to the Future. For $35, you can get your very own DeLorean time machine along with figures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown! The vehicle features opening gull-wing doors, fold-up wheels, a flux capacitor, a time travel display and 2 “OUTATIME” license plates. LEGO’s new DeLorean model features lots of cool details from the classic 80s film. It also includes extra engines and wheels, so you can recreate different variants of the time-traveling car featured in the Back to the Future movies. It also comes with Marty’s skateboard, so you can re-enact scenes while blasting Huey Lewis and the News’ Power of Love. Check it out at the Lego Store.
