Asia @ Grassroots

Asia @ Grassroots: Many historians and archeologists believe that the world's first civilization began in Asia. Today, the heavily populated continent comprises one-third of the world’s land mass, and more than half of all humans alive call this continent home. From the Indian Ocean to the south and the Arctic Ocean to the north, a variety of animals make their homes here as well, such as reindeer, snow leopards, elephants, camels, pandas, orangutans, and Komodo dragons.
