Animals live everywhere. They roam the land. They burrow in the ground. They swim in the sea. They fly through the air. They creep, they leap, they soar, and they dive. A very few – including corals and barnacles – stay in one place.

Animals come in all sizes. The biggest animals are whales, which can be 100 feet (30 meters) long. The smallest animals can only be seen through a microscope. Zoologists (scientists who study animals) have found more than 2 million species (kinds) of animals. They think they have discovered only a small portion of all animals on Earth.

Animal bodies are made up of more than one cell, unlike bacteria and other life forms with only one cell. Cells are the building blocks of living things. Animals also have senses, such as eyes or ears, that tell them what is going on around them.

Whales are the biggest animals.

Dr. Jonas Salk is credited with developing the first vaccine to fight against dreaded polio. Born in New York in 1914, Salk received his medical degree from New York University College of Medicine in 1939 and later attended the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan.

Salk was very interested in preventive medicine. He worked for the army on producing a vaccine against influenza for five years from 1942 to 1947. In 1949, a group at Harvard University led by John Enders developed a method to grow the poliovirus in quantity so that it could be studied further. This discovery was important as it allowed Salk and his fellow workers to study the disease in greater detail.

By 1952, Salk’s group had successfully tested a polio vaccine using an inactive poliovirus. In 1954, there were field tests done on a large scale. Initially, there were many different vaccines being used among the public, and there were some deaths associated with the vaccinations. However, Salk’s vaccine proved to be the best and was used without further problems. What was once a dreaded killer had been tamed by the work of Dr. Jonas Salk and co-workers.

What was one of Dr. Salk’s main interests?
