What If All Wildlife on Earth Disappeared?

Cosmo begins his animal adventure by discovering the differences between wild and domestic animals. As Cosmo runs a simulation that makes all the wild animals on Earth disappear, students will learn about the role animals play in providing food for humans, how scavenging wild animals act as nature’s garbage disposal system, how burrowing animals bring nutrients deep into the soil, and how many medicines were first discovered in wild animals.
