IN CINEMAS FROM MARCH 24

TO ONE AMAZING DAY ON EARTH!

In our vast solar system, amongst the countless stars and galaxies, there is only one planet that, as far as we

know, can sustain life: our own amazing planet, Earth. This extraordinary home of ours, with her vast continents and magnificent oceans, is also home to an astonishing array of wild and wonderful creatures, whose day often begins in much the same way as ours: with the rising of the sun.

Earth: One Amazing Day takes us on a 24-hour journey of discovery across

our unique planet with the sun as our guide. We meet our fellow creatures as they wake from their slumbers in lush jungles, green plains, dry deserts and chilly arctic climes and go about their busy day, hunting for food, taking a nap, finding mates, and having fun or scary adventures! Journeying into the world of narwhals and penguins, sloths and sperm whales, hummingbirds and mayflies, we will discover one thing above all: nothing is more surprising and astonishing than a single day on this planet.

This Pygmythree-toed Sloth

lives in Panama

Every creature lives in a fascinating country - we’ve put fun facts and locations for you to spot throughout so you can match the creature to their habitat by the end!

FUN FACT

THE MAGICAL DANCE OF EARTH AND SUNIS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE ON OUR PLANET.

The sun is close enough to us for essential life-giving energy for our

creatures, plants and habitats, but far enough away that we are not scorched by its heat. It is a perfect balance to ensure life on earth continues, as it

has done for millions of years.

As the earth spins on its axis, and night turns to day, the sun bathes the planet in light, giving energy to our

animals and plants, sending night-time adventurers scurrying into the shadows and waking the creatures from slumber.

The sun evaporates water from land and sea, and this builds into clouds that will give essential rainwater for

the creatures.

Can you colour in a beautifulsunrise for them to wake up to?

Use reds, yellows and oranges tocreate a really stunning dawn scene!

Plants take the sun’s light and use a process called photosynthesis to grow!

What did you have for breakfast today? Shall we find out what different creatures eat?

This rare giant panda is hungry for her breakfast. She forages for bamboo, a wooden-like plant which, to you and me, wouldn’t taste of much at all! But for the panda, it’s just about the only thing she likes to eat. Luckily for her it happens to be the fastest growing plant on the planet- growing a millimeter every minute! Since she’s been asleep, her breakfast has grown around her.

Can you draw lots of bamboo growing around her so she has more to eat and can feed her cub?

Here’s baby zebra. She is only 10 days old and she’s a brave little thing. She could walk just one hour after she was born! Today she would like her breakfast. But she must cross a raging river to get to the lush green grass in her home in the African plains.

THE SUN HAS WOKEN EVERYONE UPAND THE CREATURES ARE HUNGRY!

A group of Zebra’s is called a DAZZLE.

FUN FACT

Pandas eat for up to 14 hours a day!

Can you help her cross the river,past the hippos and crocodiles,and reach the other side safely?

WEIRD AND WONDERFUL

Narwhals are part of an unusual family of Monodontidae whales.They are known as Unicorns of the Sea because of the nine-foot long twisted horn jutting from their heads. This is in fact a tooth, or tusk.

No-one knows why the Narwhal has a tusk; no scientists have found a reason for its existence, and these gentle creatures certainly don’t use it to hunt. The beautiful Narwhal and its horn are one of the great unsolved mysteries of the marine world.

SOMETIMES THE SUN’S RAYS CAN HELP IN OTHER WAYS - EVEN THE CREATURES UNDERWATER. THIS STRANGE CREATURE IS A NARWHAL. AS THE SUN MELTS THE ICE,

HUGE CRACKS FORM CHANNELS, WHICH HELP THE NARWHALS TO GET ACROSS THE HUGE ICE SHELF.

Can you help the Narwhals to find

their way throughthe melting ice?

WEIRD AND WONDERFUL

The Inuits enjoy retelling a legend about this mysterious Arctic sea creature that is their neighbour in the ice-gripped areas of the far north of the planet.

The legend of the Narwhal.

In Inuit legend, the first Narwhal was a brave female hunter with a long braid.

She kept her people fed throughout their long freezing winters.

One day, whilst out hunting in the icy ocean, she

glimpsed the huge dark shape of a whale.

She decided to hunt the whale. But it was far larger and far stronger than she was.

As a deadly tussle ensued, the hunter wished she had chosen an easier foe! She fought for her life in the icy seas, but the great whale would not surrender.

The brave hunter never returned to her people, but it was said that her braided hair became the twisted tusk of the Narwhal.

The species name, Monodon monoceros means “one

toothed unicorn”

The Narwhal lives in the Arctic ocean

ALL CREATURES BIG AND SMALL!

This is a mayfly. It has just a short journey on earth; less than a day, to be exact!

Mayflies live as nymphs underwater for up to three years, but only emerge from the water on one day; a day in which they have a vital job to do, and in just a few short hours.

The unique spectacle of millions of mayflies hatching from the river in great swarms is extraordinary.

The mayfly wastes no time looking for food- it has no mouth. Instead, its reserves of energy are wholly spent looking for a mate, so that it can reproduce. The male, after mating, falls from the sky, its short life over: the female flies upstream to lay her egg, before she, too, expires.

The mayfly has perhaps the speediest life-cycle of all creatures on the planet.

FOR SOME CREATURES THE END OF THE DAYIS A LITTLE MORE SERIOUS THAN OTHERS.

The mayfly is just an inch long and lives

for less than 24 hours
