Fauna
Fauna (FAW nuh): animals
• We saw little evidence of fauna on our walk through the woods. We did, however, see plenty of flora, or plants.
• Flora and fauna means plants and animals. The terms are used particularly in describing what lives in a particular region or environment.
• Arctic fauna are very different from tropical fauna.
• In Jim's yard, the flora consists mostly of weeds.
• It's easy to remember which of these words means what. Just remember fawns and flowers.
