New article on African forest and savanna elephants for kids

[DavidBrown]

I have written an article on African forest and elephants for kids (but hopefully enjoyable for kids of all ages) for the electronic kid's magazine The Imagination Cafe.

Please feel free to share with anyone who might be interested and thanks to the Zoochat for inspiring it with our discussions of forest and savanna elephants.

Just like the African Penguin article, an excellent job David!

Really good article as always. I just might have to contact you about reproduction rights! Wait, that didn't come out right... I meant reproduction of the article - not you and I. Anyway, good job! Does 'savannah' not have an 'h' in American English by the way?

Too late, you let the cat out of the bag

The only savanna that has an H is in Georgia and the sparrow. Savanna is derived from the Spanish word "sabana." There is no H in the word.

as usual it is really only American English that is different to the rest of the world (cf. "color", "skeptical", etc). Almost all English-speaking countries use "savannah".

Only in a few backwater regions is skeptical still spelled with the ambiguous "C."

I am sceptical about you folks asserting that some parts of the world use a 'k' in the word. That one's news to me! However, spell-check has the word underlined in red as I type this post. How weird!

Anyway, let's not deviate too much from congratulating David on a great article. I look forward to reading an article from him in National Geographic or something one day.
