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.

Every fact is checked against named source pages (including the Natural History Museum in London, the Royal Horticultural Society, The Wildlife Trusts, Manx Wildlife Trust, the Conchological Society, the Journal of Conchology, the Australian Museum, Britannica and the University of Florida; checked 30 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on each pack’s credits page. Facts that can change, such as species counts, trends and records, 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.
