Glossary
All these animals and countries are fascinating, but in writing about them we've used some words and concepts that are a little obscure, or just very interesting . So, we put all those words in bold type throughout the site and made a glossary so that you could learn the words, and the concepts behind them, as well as the animals and countries.
This glossary is written for people of all different ages and degrees of knowledge, so you might find that you already know some words in here. However, we have lost count of the number of times the illustrator has looked up a word or term and exclaimed "Oh! I never knew that was what it really meant!" Sometimes, people assume that we'll pick up words, but we don't. As a result, we might never pick them up properly at all. So, here, we're not assuming much. Here's hoping you find it useful :)
Right now, the glossary's still under construction, so please bear with us!
