At night when people go to bed — many small and large animals leave their cozy burrows and go hunting. They begin their active animal life. Many of them can hunt all night and rest during the day.

Two thirds of the land are covered by water. Basically it is the salty water of the oceans and seas that cannot be drunk.

Rivers form waterfalls. The largest and most beautiful of them are favorite places of tourists even today. Fresh water is very important for life on the planet.
