Lion, Serengeti Lion Project, 1974, Friday noon

Lion sits in the field note for 1974 under “Serengeti Lion Project”, and the figure beside it is 2015. At the end of the children’s table, check that the label and the notebook match, and correct the notebook if they do not. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Asiatic lion / Gir (relic population, India) is filed here as a dated individual, programme or portrayal -- not as a rank of the living animal. At the children’s corner, open Lion so the notebook shows 1974 first, 2015 next, and “Serengeti Lion Project” beside them.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. At home, leave the notebook on the shoe shelf and, the next morning, read the three lines aloud once, then shut it. The order is Lion, 1974, 2015, then “Serengeti Lion Project”. When the picture book is done, look again only at 1974 for Lion and leave 2015 on the notebook.

Do not line the species up by size, danger, or popularity. If someone asks which animal is greater, read the field entry for that year again. Check the picture-book label against the notebook, and leave any ranking space blank. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Match Serengeti Lion Project with 2015 at the children’s corner before you close 1974 for Lion. Lion sits in the field note for 1974 under “Serengeti Lion Project”, and the figure beside it is 2015.
