Puzzle 3 


Can you find at least 10 different colours hidden in the following paragraph? Can you find all 15?

Many injured animals are invited to live at the 'Toronto Range'. Stop in Kangaroo Corner and marvel at the lovely creatures within. Dig over the potato patch to find small furry caterpillars, but don't yell! Owls can be found swooping for edible nibbles, earwigs, or perhaps bluebottles in the undergrowth. The brown bear, Rob, lacks grace and can look like a sublime ogre, enter at your own risk! Peacocks can be found showing their colourful plumage, which looks fantastic when viewed with our ultraviolet torch.
