Today Rohan and I were learning continents.
Me: What continents do you know?
Ro: What’s a continent?
Me: The big land masses on the map.
Ro: Like America?
Me: Exactly. There are two: North America and South America
Ro: …and East America.
Me: Not quite. There’s an East coast and West coast of North America, but it’s still North America.
Ro: India?
Me: Close. India is part of Asia.
Ro: …. Germany?
Me: Germany is Europe (<We lost that war. – Twice.>).
Ro: I don’t know another Co-tident?
Me: Continent. There’s Africa! What else?
Ro: I don’t know.
Me: Antarctica!!!
Ro: Is that where the ants live?
Me: <laughing>: Interestingly, this is probably the only continent without ants – (<don’t know that for a fact>)
I just asked Google: “are there ants in antarctica” and got 30.900.000 hits. 🙂 And this one from National Geographic: There are only a handful of spots where native species of ants do not exist—Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, parts of Polynesia, and a few other extremely remote islands in the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
Good question – never thought about that.
Good work, Danni! – Thanks for clearing that up for me.
