This short video gives excellent real life footage of an African Rock Python. Students will enjoy the close up shots of this amazing reptile. Africa’s largest snake, the African rock python (Python sebae) has a long, stout body, patterned with blotches that vary in color between brown, olive, chestnut and buffy yellow, often joining up in a broad, irregular stripe. The triangular head has many sharp, backwardly curved teeth and is marked on top with a dark brown “spear-head” outlined in buffy yellow. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (Less Than 2 Minutes)

Founded in 1961, the DuSable is one of the first African-American museums in the country. The museum follows African-American history from its beginning on the shores of Africa to a celebration of African-American achievements including Bessie Coleman, the nation’s first black female aviator; World War II Tuskegee airmen; Major Robert Lawrence, the nation’s first black astronaut; and Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor.The museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation, interpretation, and dissemination of the history and culture of Africans and Americans of African descent. Weaving themes of art, history, and diversity, it also tells us “What’s American about Americans?” and “What Shall I Tell My Children who are Black?”Enjoy the DuSable’s treasures and think about the distorted images we have been given, ultimately learning why the children shall lead us.

While I've heard vultures in Asia have major problems, I had no idea that there is also an African vulture crisis happening in Africa right now. I'm not sure that there is a whole lot most people can do to help, but I'm really glad there is a small team now who have banded together to try and stop the extinction of vultures on the African continent.(05.27)
