If teachers were animals...

Watch out, it's a jungle out there! It's World Teacher's Day today so here are six kinds of teacher you will find in every school. Have you spotted any of these types of teachers at your school? Don't worry, they don't bite!

Can't find your kind of teacher on the list? Tell us what animal you think they might be and why in the comments below!

Had a run in with the tiger? They only have to show their stripes once... Often equipped with a serious glare, the tiger has no patience with students fooling around in their class, but if you pay attention and try hard they should turn into a pussycat.

This teacher has been there, done that and still loves their subject to bits! You won't spot them winging it in lessons but they don't take life too seriously, either. Start talking in class? The ostrich is likely to swoop down and peck you for a spot quiz!

The comedian is easier to laugh at than with. Mix two parts embarrassing dad with one part Christmas cracker jokes and here's the result: hawkward! On the plus side, the puffin is an eggsellent teacher and your homework gets marked with emojis!

You're fairly sure they've not left the Lab since 1987 and they're barking about the periodic table, but the prof certainly knows how to wield a bunsen burner. Pay attention in lessons as they use the element of surprise; things are sure to go off with a bang!

They spend most of the day hanging around, checking the database for the best-sellers. They are always quick to recommend a book or twelve and this librarian will probably look the other way if you bring snacks to the library... especially bananas.

You'll find this old school academic in every school. The tortoise is practically prehistoric and they've been here for years, so they know everything about everyone! Sure, they may give you shell if you break the rules, but they'll never catch you!

Worried about starting school again after the summer? Don't be nervous, these teachers only exist in the wild!
