Antarctica!!!

We did it! We finally made it to the page that Courtney has been waiting for all year in our science books! Page 100- Antarctica!!!

We are going to do a brief overview of the continent and look at the largest animal that lives there and no, it is not a penguin, those guys live in the water and not actually on the land.  The largest animal is the midge!
