Pages: 13 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink. Cards: print double-sided, flipping on the long edge, on thin card.

Every fact is checked against named source pages (the Australian Antarctic Division, British Antarctic Survey, Smithsonian’s National Zoo, Britannica, New Zealand’s Department of Conservation, WWF-UK, National Geographic, the IUCN Red List and BirdLife International; checked 27 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on each pack’s credits page. Facts that can change, such as Red List categories and population counts, are printed with that date. Where sources give different figures, both are shown with their source. Photos are public domain or CC0 images via Wikimedia Commons; drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Not endorsed by any of these organisations.

Licence: personal and single-classroom use. You may print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class, and share it with your class through a password-protected platform.
