Elephants by Vanessa

I did research on elephants. I chose the elephants because they are my favorite animal. A little bit information about elephants are that people use their tusks for jewelry. Also, that they are endangered. Plus, they have long trunks.

In this paragraph I am going to about what elephants look like. Elephants are 8.2-13 feet tall. Baby elephants weigh 500 pounds, adult elephants weigh about 600-1400 pounds. All elephants are gray and their tusks are white. They have long trunks to drink water, and tusks to fight with.

Do you know what elephants look like? They are herbivores which means they only eat plants. Thier most favorite foods are berries, grass, and herbs. They also like grass. Kate Petty told, “ An elephant can drink 35 gallons of water in a day.”

Elephants live in not many different places. They live in Africa and Asia. Some of the countries are, Congo, Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Chad, Oman and, South Africa. Elephants also live in some parts of Asia.

In this paragraph I am going to talk about how elephants travel, how they live, and what sounds they make. Elephants walk around on the ground. Elephants make trumpeting noises. They only make trumpeting noises if they are excited or if there is danger and especially if they are drinking water. Elephants live in groups with their families. Adult male elephants do not live with groups.

I also learned how elephants affect people. They affect us because people make jewelry out of their tusks. Also, back then people used to kill elephants and eat them. They sometimes trample on people's crops in India and Asia.

Some of the interesting facts about elephants are that they hug by wrapping their trunks. Elephants are very playful. They also grow up to be 60-70 years old. They are very smart. Also, they have very large brains. Kate Petty wrote, “ People in India and other countries worship gods with elephant heads.”

In conclusion, I learned a lot about elephants. I learned how much an elephant weighs, which is 500-1400 pounds. I also learned how tall an elephant weighs, which is 8.2-13 feet. I learned how old an elephant is when they are old, which is 60-70 years old. Lastly, I learned that elephants do not eat meat.

Grizzly Bears by Dalton

Grizzly Bears

I chose a grizzly bear because I am interested in bears. Plus, I noticed their on the top of the food chain. So thats why I chose it.

Second, have you ever wonder what a grizzly looks like up close? Well, it weighs 800 pounds. It is 6 feet ( 2 meters ) tall. It has gigantic claws. It has typically brown fur.

Third, A grizzly eats: leaves,meat and fish. I once saw on TV a grizzly catch a deer, then it flipped it over a log and ate it.

Fourth, the grizzly bear lives in North America, in the alaskan wilderness, boy do I wish I was there.The grizzly bear may may live by a river but mostly in dens.

Fifth,  Even if you know but still walks or run on four feet. It kind of has a medium grunt roar. Mostly it has cubs or just alone. Or even in groups.

Sixth,  The grizzly bear could hurt humans or cattle. People use it and use it as a rug. A long time a go they killed them for no reason.

Seventh,  Sometimes they socialize to each other. They can hunt with just their nose. They also have a lifespan of twenty years. Some quotes from national geographic and this

‘’Amazing Animals’’  book. They said, ‘Grizzlys are solitary animals’, ‘ They are super fast’. ‘ Bears gather to fish.

In conclusion, I learned a lot from this report. I wondered how fast they are. Also, did they talk to eachother? what I gotta those were: Sometimes they socialize to each other. They have been recorded at 30 miles per hour. i hope you enjoy grizzly bears more. and protect them.

Dolphins by Rebekah

I did research on dolphins. I picked dolphins because they are amazing and very playful.                                                

I already know that are sea mammals. They can breath underwater for a very long time.  It has a blowhole to breath through when it is under the water. It lives in water, mostly oceans. They are in groups called pods.

The dolphins are 10 through 14 feet long.  Their weight is 1,100 pounds, most of the time.  Dolphins colors are gray and silver but, somethings light black. It has two flippers on each side. It has one fin on the top of it’s back. A blowhole on the forehead. Some have really long noses and sharp teeth or dull teeth.

Dolphins are a sea carnivores. It means that they are meat animals.They eat kinds of squid and small fish. They love and only eat meat. They just love eating meat.

I am going to talk about where they live.  They do not on a continent but, they live by north america. The oceans dolphins live in are Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. Their habitat is the ocean or the seas. Kids.nationalgeographic told me,”Some dolphins live in rivers in China, India, and South America.”

I learned how dolphins travel, sounds it makes,and how it lives. It travels in a pod while swimming. The sounds it makes are it squeaks, whistle, chirps and clicks etc….  How it lives is in a group not alone.  The group they travel in is called a pod.

Dolphins do not really affect people in a bad way. They affect people in a good way.  Dolphins play with humans and are very gentle.  Dolphins have saved people’s lives before.  They play with children. They are very playful.  They do not really affect people.  Here are interesting facts I found about dolphins. They are mammals in the oceans and seas.  Their life spain is 20 years to 40 years.  Their speed is 3-7 mphs and slower than a car.  They use body language to send messages.  Another word for it is called echolocation.  Livescience told me, “ Echolocation tells the dolphins the shape, speed, distance, and the location of the object.  “ Bottlenose dolphins send messages to one another in different ways.” Rita Ritchie and Patricia Corrigan wrote.

In conclusion, I learned a ton about my animal a dolphin. I wanted to know what it eats and it eats meat , squid, and small fish. Another question was are baby dolphins born alive or in eggs? They are born alive because their mammals. I was wondering do they squeak or whistle? They do both and chirp and click too. They use echolocation to call other dolphins. That is what I learned about dolphins.

All About The Amazing Panda by Lily

    All About The AMAZING Panda

I am going to tell you all that I learned about, and what I already know of the panda! I chose the panda because it looked very cute and cuddly. I know the panda is black and white. They are big, eats bamboo, and it is endangered. Did you know when a baby pandas are  born it does not look like a panda!

This is what a panda looks like. Their height is 5.3 - 6.2 feet. It weighs 165 - 300 pounds, now that is heavy! The color is black and white, but there is such thing as a red panda they are little and cute! Pandas teeth are REALLY sharp, I do not think you want to get bit by that YIKES! The reason why pandas teeth are so sharp is so they can grind their food, for instance bamboo.

What do pandas eat? Well pandas will eat bamboo shoots, leaves, and occasionally they will eat fish or other little animals. National Geographic said, “ to stay healthy pandas have to eat a lot. National Geographic also put on their web site” “ Pandas eat up to 5 percent of their body weight.” Did you know pandas are omnivores? Well now you know.

Do you know where pandas live? They Live in Asia. In Asia there is Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu Provinces. Those are what countries pandas live in. I think those countries have interesting names.

This paragraph will be on how they walk,what sounds they make, and how they live. The panda travels by crawling, waddling, and when they are babies they only crawl. The book baby pandas wrote “ pandas are really good at swimming.” Pandas make squeaking, huffing, barking, growling, noises,  but yet they can be interestingly quiet! The panda will either live alone or with another panda.

Did you know pandas are used as cloths? You are probably thinking what, but its true. That is why pandas are endangered! Poor pandas. People are mean and selfish and kill pandas just for cloths. Pandas are just like us they are a living thing! So DO NOT kill cute and innocent pandas. I wonder why people use pandas as cloths.

These are some interesting facts about pandas! They are really shy. They have the biggest molar teeth. Their teeth is larger than any carnivore. They eat fish and little animals.

This is what I wanted to know. Do they eat slow? Do pandas live in groups? Does it eat something else besides bamboo shoots? This is what I learned. They eat fast. It eats fish, leaves, bamboo shoots, and other little animals, ( it says this in paragraph three.) Pandas live in Asia.

Polar Bears by Emily Gines

Polar Bears

By: Emily Gines

For my animal report I am doing the Polar Bear.  I chose this animal because, when I was younger I loved Polar Bears.  Anyway, lets get started!

I am going to tell you what a Polar Bear looks like.  They are 8 feet tall and can weigh up to 1,600lbs.  The color of the Polar Bear is, white.  These are some of the Polar Bear’s features. They also have thick fur to keep them warm and sharp claws to grip onto the ice.

Some favorite food of the  Polar Bear are;  fish, salmon is its favorite, seals, watermelon and seaweed.  

The Polar Bear lives on a few different continents. Some of those are: North America and Eurasia.  Some countries the Polar Bear can be found in are; Canada and Greenland.  The special habitat of the Polar Bear is in Antarctica.  

The Polar Bear travels by walking on all four legs.  The Polar Bear has a very loud roar to scare predators away.  

The Polar Bear hunts alone unless they are hunting for fish.  

The Polar Bear is not allowed as a pet.  It is also not used as a work animal.  People do use the Polar Bear for food by hunting them and use the warm fur for clothing.  

Some interesting facts about the Polar Bear are; really good swimmers, its fur is used as camouflage when they are being hunted and when they are hunting and they can live up to 30 years old.  The Polar Bear also hunts near where it lives.  

I think the Polar Bear is a super cool animal.  And if they weren’t so big and dangerous I would totally have one as a pet!

The Great White Shark by Chase

The Great White Shark

I did research about the Great White Shark. I picked this animal because it is my favorite animal. I already know what it eats, how many teeth it loses, and how long it can survive without food. Great Whites are an amazing animal.

The Great White is gray and white in color. It can grow from 5 feet to 32 feet. The Great White can weigh anywhere from 1,500lbs to 4,500lbs. It has gray on the top of its body and white on the bottom, making it perfect for camouflage.

Great Whites will eat anything. Scientists once cut open a Great White and found deer antlers, a license plate, and a credit card. Great Whites favorite meal is a seal. Great Whites attack from below to catch their prey.

A Great White lives in the ocean and can be found in most parts of the world. It will not be found in cold water, which means it will not be found in either the arctic ocean or the antarctic ocean, but it will be near all the other continents with warm, temperate waters. But it must be salt water, it cannot survive in fresh water.

Now, I will tell you about how the Great Whites travel, what sounds they make, and how it lives. They move by using its powerful caudal (tail fin) to move swiftly through the water. The Great White does not make any sounds, not surprisingly. The Great White does not live in a shiver, also known as a group, it always lives alone.

The Great White effects humans by either eating humans or being eaten by humans. Humans like their taste and eat them in sushi. However, sharks will eat humans but usually because they have mistaken them for a seal. Sharks are also used as decorations. Humans like to collect their teeth and jaws.

Some interesting facts about the shark is that the mother Great Whites only see their pups as prey. Most sharks do not survive their first year because other bigger sharks may eat them. When a Great White loses its teeth another one grows back to replace it. It is like a conveyor belt. Once one tooth gets off there is always another one coming.

The National Geographic Kids once quoted “Sharks swallow food whole. They can last a month or two without another big meal.” Nancy Ellwood and Nancy Perish, who wrote Sharkpedia said, “Great Whites are a rare species.”  

In conclusion, I wanted to learn if sharks are mammals. Because they are born alive and swallow air. But they are not mammals, they are classified a fish. Another weird and scary fact is that Great Whites are born 5 feet long. I got most of my information from Sharkpedia, National Geographic Kids, and Shark Wikipedia.

Rabbits by Harrision

I am going to write about rabbits. I know rabbits are really quiet. It is fun to watch them run and play. They can even live in your backyard.

Rabbits are 2 feet tall and they are not that heavy. They should be 3-9 lbs. They are hard to spot because of their white and brown can blend into leaves. Other rabbits could be

smaller. Other rabbits are not taller than this.

Rabbits use their teeth to eat plants. They eat grass anywhere. They will eat hay from farms. Also, they eat other plants. They do not eat bugs!

They live in lots of places. You can find them in Mexico, United States and Canada. You can find them in deserts and grasslands too, even in your backyard! Now you can find them easy.

Rabbits travel by hopping. I do not think they walk. It’s best if they hop. Kangaroos hop just like rabbits. Other animals do walk.

They do not live in groups. I think they can get killed. They can get spotted and die because of groups. Birds high in the air can see them. Snakes on the ground get them too.

It affects people by scratching and biting. They can sneak and eat your crops.

People cannot catch them because they are fast. I do not know what else they can do.

What is interesting about rabbits is how fast they are for a little one. Their legs are strong to hop.

They are really quiet when they hop. They can also cool down with their ears. They are sneaky too. They are friendly if you are nice. They use their paws like a wash cloth to clean them.

If a rabbit thumps it means danger.
