Big Mama has made the rest of the herd VERY angry! She is supposed to be their leader, and she just ran away! To get even, the smallest elephant, Tiny Ted, decides to take the herd to a new watering hole. He needs to travel North about 40 miles away. He walks the herd across the water. Trace the path NORTH from where Tiny Ted started to 40 miles North!
