Where did the sickness come from? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________PROCEDURE: 4. You will read an article about a disease that affected animal populations in the Serengeti during this time. Complete the 4Cs thinking routine as you read and use the space below to take notes. 5. After you are done reading, use the space below to generate a timeline of rinderpest using the buffalo population graph and the information from the reading.

Be sure to include the how the cattle and the buffalo are involved and all relevant and accurate scientific facts. Don’t forget to include relevant labels!How did elimination of rinderpest in the Serengeti affect the buffalo population?MAKING SENSE:8.
