Have Pride

The lioness
does most of the hunting,
but the lion
is the first to eat.
Hardly seems fair!


After a fight,
a new male may move in
and take over a pride...
The new male
will kill the cubs
of any other male,
so that only his genes
will carry on... 
Seems a bit harsh!


That huge mane of hair protects him against scratches and bites during fights with other males.


This next lion started out beautifully and then the artist became a little over-excited with the use of charcoal and soon enough, we were left with a black blob...  After some frowns from me, the young artist attacked the black blog with an eraser... and we ended up with a pretty great lion!


Loving all things baby -
the girls drew cubs.


Our classroom is starting
to look like a zoo!

Love the 'wild' looking one in the second lot of photos!

That's from a student who has trouble with fine motor work - but it sure makes for some interesting art! His is the flea-ridden bear, too.
