"THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF THE KNOWLEDGE"
Proverbs 1:7
THE HIMALAYAS:
The Himalayas
are the world’s highest range of mountains. They stretch 2,500 km (1,550 miles)
across Asia. The world’s tallest mountain, mount Everest, stands in the midst
of the Himalayas.
SNOW LEOPARD:
The
snow leopard is probably the world’s most rare and elusive cat. It lives high
on mountains, including those of the Himalayas, far from human habitation.
MOON WALK:
Another Himalayan inhabitant is the black bear. This bear has a
crescent-shaped white mark on its chest, resulting in its other name: moon
bear.
RED PANDA:
The lesser panda is more closely related to the raccoon than it is to
the giant panda. It lives in high bamboo forests, eating leaves, roots, fruits,
and shoots.
POISON FLOWERS:
Rhododendrons from eerie thickets in the Himalayas. Their gigantic
flowers are beautiful, but toxic. Local bees collect the nectar to make a kind
of honey that is poisonous to humans.
TALONS READY!
The mighty golden eagle has a wingspan of more than 2.3 m (7 ft). A
tasty pika would make a nice snack.
ROCK BUNNY:
Pikas are small furry animals related to rabbits, though it’s hard to
spot a pikas tail! This one lives in mountain meadows and is well-adapted to
cold weather.
How high is mount Everest?
It is 8,850 m (29,035 ft).
