Giraffes

By: Simon Brown

A giraffe is an endangered species. It

lives in Africa. It has long legs that can

run 34 miles an hour. Its kicks are so cool

and it has a long neck so it can get leaves

from the top of a tree. It has cool patterns

on its body. They take care of their babies

and they will feed the leaves to their

babies.

Deer by Logan

Deer can come in different colors to match the background!

When you see a roundish spot in the grass that means a deer slept there .

Deer nurse their young deer and hide their young in the grass .

Male deer are competitive.

Dolphins

By Sadie

My name is Sadie and I am researching dolphins!

They live in the water. They also are small whales. Did you

know that Dolphins are Mammals, not fish?

Dolphins

By Joselyn Dolphins are animals that live in the sea. There are a lot of books

about dolphins helping people to land or stories about people

riding on dolphin’s backs. Dolphins probably do not see people

that need help everyday and I do not think that people try to climb

onto dolphins backs. A dolphin can swim for more than 25 M.P.H.

Dolphins can grow from 6 to 12 feet. A dolphin can sound an

alarm if danger is near. It would probably be an Orca because they

eat dolphins. It is funny that dolphins eat dolphins because an

Orca is a dolphin and they eat other dolphins. If a dolphin is sick

other dolphins will take care of it. Dolphins talk with clicks,

creaks and whistles. Dolphins have really good hearing. Like

bats, a dolphin sends out sounds that come back and tells the

dolphin were the thing is and what the thing is. A baby dolphin

comes out of their mother tail first so they do not drown. One kind

of Dolphin that lots of people know is the Bottlenosed Dolphin. I

hope you like dolphins too. Thank you!

Electric

Eels By Ethan Holmes

Electric Eels live in rivers in South America. It is brown.

It is 6 feet long. It eats small fish. The Electric Eel gets its

Food by shocking it. The Electric Eel swims by moving like

a snake. It got its name from its

shock

Flamingos are birds. They are pink because they eat so

many shrimp. Flamingos have very long legs! Flamingos

have long, curving necks to drink water. Flamingos live

near grassy areas. These birds drink water from small

water holes, and they wade into the water to find food.

They stay together in groups. Flamingos get scared easily.

Flamingos eat shrimp and crabs.

I love Flamingos!

GORILLAS

By Cayla

Gorillas live in Africa. They are endangered. They

are really big. They have red eyes. They are a lot like us.

They have flat noses. Gorillas are 450 pounds 204

kilograms and 6 feet tall. And 1.8 meters tall. People are

cutting down forests that the gorillas live in. People are

also killing the gorillas for their meat. Gorillas are gentle

to each other but not to people. When gorillas are mad

they make a hooo-hooo-hooo noise. He takes a leaf and

holds it in between their lips. When gorillas do this, it

means he is angry. When gorillas move to place to place,

the mother gorilla carries the baby in her

arms.

Gorillas By Ava

Gorillas are vertebrates. Gorillas live in the jungle in

Africa. A gorilla looks like a big furry and strong animal

with a mind like a person. A gorilla is very gentle to other

gorillas. Their baby is very small. Gorillas can get to be 6

feet tall and 1.8 meters. The gorilla can weigh up to 450

pounds or 204 kilograms. The gorillas are endangered

because the people are chopping down the trees of the

forest and killing them for their meat. The gorilla’s main

color is black but some gorillas are gray. Gorillas protect

themselves by making really loud noises like hoooo-oooo.

The signal for anger is when they put a leaf in their mouth.

Then they run after the predator.

When gorillas move place to place, the mother takes

the baby and puts it on her back or in her arms.

Some baby gorillas like to play with plants.

I like gorillas because they’re amazing animals!

HAMMER

HEAD

SHARKS! By: Michael O’Neill

The animal I am

studying is a hammer head shark. A hammer head shark is a

vertebrate. These sharks live all over the ocean. They have

sharp teeth, fins and a head like a hammer. The length of a

hammer head shark is twenty feet long. A hammer head shark

eats fish, turtles, seals and penguins. It gets its food by

hunting. It swims by moving back and forth. A hammer head

shark’s enemy is humans. It protects its self with its teeth.

Hammer head sharks do not take care of their babies. A shark

is an endangered species. People shoot them for shark

contests, and for not harming people when they swim.

Koalas are very small when they are babies. But the

mom is very big. Mom Koalas carry her young in her

pouch for about six months. Then they go on their

mother’s back like a piggy back for seven months.

Then the Koala is ready to be on its own. Koalas live in

damp forests in Australia. They live in the trees. They

love to climb in the trees. Koalas eat plants, grass and

bamboo. They move by crawling. These are some facts

about Koalas: they never drink water; they have many

enemies like dingoes and goannas; whenever koalas

hear scratching noises they run away quickly, because

they think it is their enemy approaching.

Koalas are endangered. People have killed so many

koalas that it is now against the law. Koalas go into a

ball at night to keep warm. I hope you learned! The

end.

Leopards

By: Bobby Frassinelli

The animal I am studying is

the Leopard. Leopards live in

Africa and Asia. Most

leopards have spots.

Leopards can grow up to nine feet tall. Some of

the things that Leopards eat are goats,

antelopes and snakes. Leopards get their food

by pouncing on their pray. Leopards move by

walking, climbing and running. Leopard’s

enemies are humans. Leopards protect

themselves by climbing up trees. If there is a

danger their mom will carry them away.

Leopards are an endangered species because

humans are hunting them for their fur. A cool

fact about leopards is that some have spots and

some are black.

Lions By TJ

The animal I am researching is the Lion. It

is a vertebra. Male lions weigh more than

female lions. Its enemy is people. It can

also eat humans. Lions like company more

than any other cat. People call Lions “the

king of the beasts.” Lions eat antelope,

buffalo and zebra.

By: Sabrina Foss

Moose are the biggest in the deer family.

The biggest kind of moose lives in Alaska.

These moose stand up to 7 1/2 feet high

and weigh 1800 pounds. Moose have big

shoulders that form a hump. It has long

legs and hooves. Moose have fur that is

brownish-black on the upper parts the lower

parts are grayish-brown.

The orca by:

Evelyn Simon

The animal I am researching is the orca. An orca is a really good animal

for communicating with their trainers. An orca is an endangered species.

In the water they live in there is not enough food for orcas to thrive for a

lifetime like mollusks and fish like smelt capelin and salmon. The

mollusks they eat are snails’ clams and oysters. They also eat

echinoderms, like starfish. The way orcas eat their food is by swallowing

their food whole. The way they commutate with other orcas is by

making sounds with their blowhole. The most common sound from

orcas when they shoot water out their blowhole it makes a sound like

this: creek coonk. Other sounds are not as common. I think orcas are a

awesome animal to research.

By: Sabrina Penguins don’t fly in the air, they fly in the water. They eat fish, squid, crabs and shrimp. Penguins have a body that is suited for cold weather, cold water and ice. They have feathers that are thick and short. Their feathers are black or bluish-gray and the underside is white. Penguins have a beak that is black, red, bright purple or orange. Their feet are blue, black, or pink.

By: Hailey Davis

The animal I’m studying is polar bears. Polar bears live on land.

Most polar bears swim. Polar bears are a big fury animal. They have

long necks and no tail. A polar bear is a mammal and a vertebrae.

During the cub’s first summer their mother teaches them how to hunt,

and helps them for one or two winters.

In the arctic the ice is melting and there are becoming fewer and

fewer polar bears. This is called global warming. We can help conserve

energy by turning off lights when we are not using them, which will

conserve energy. We can also raise money. If everybody does this they

maybe the polar bears will make a come back.

Raccoons

By Alex

I am studying raccoons. They live in a

tree in North America. They eat fish.

Raccoons have white circles around

their eyes. A raccoon’s claws help

them climb. A raccoon is a

vertebrate. A raccoon’s enemies are

the fox bobcat and the owl.

Snowy Owls!

By Tessa! The animal that I,am studying is snowy owls!

Snowy owls have white fethers

A Hamster is a vertebrate and a mammal.

Hamsters are small furry creatures. They like to

live in temperate regions. They live in America

and in Europe. Hamsters have a wild cousin

called European Hamsters. European hamsters

live in Eastern Europe. They are also called

common Hamsters.

A Golden Hamster is a brownish-goldish

color. Hamsters eat cheese, fruit, veggies, meat

and small grains. They move by walking and

running. Their enemies are cats, dogs and birds.

The female hamster creates a soft nest for her

and her pups.

16 days after mating, the female gives birth

to several pups. A Hamster can have up to 12

pups.
