This week you will use the Creature Garden app to create your own animal. You can create a land, sea or air animal. Once your animal has been created, you must "test" your animal to see if it would survive in nature. Your animal must have a 70% chance of survival before moving on. Next you can race your creatures through obstacle courses, see if they will (or won’t!) walk, swim, and fly, and cross creatures to make new breeds.
