Room 25 More Animal Reports

Submitted by Dawn Pollard on Fri, 03/09/2010 - 2:05pm
After our zoo trip we wrote more reports about some of the animals we saw there.
 
We were focusing on grouping information into paragraphs and finding out about an animal’s habitat, food and predators.
 
Here are some samples of our work.
 
Warthogs by Justin Lee
 
Warthogs are mammals because they are warm blooded.
Warthogs are furry and black animals. Warthogs don’t lay eggs. Their babies are called piglets.
Warthogs live in caves and mud caves.
Warthogs predators are lions, pumas, tigers, dingoes and hyenas.
Warthogs mostly eat grass, sometimes they eat leaves because they are omnivores.
Warthogs go in mud baths only on hot days.
 
Pumas by Samuel Gordon
 
A puma is a member of the cat family.
They live in many different places in America.
They can weigh between 80 to 225 pounds. A puma has four strong legs. The tail can grow up to two feet. Two big side teeth for ripping. Pumas can group 3 to 6 feet long. Pumas can leap 12 metres long and 5 metres up. They are sneaky and fast. Pumas prey are birds, zebras and buffalo.
We are killing pumas for their meat. There are only a few pumas left.
 
Empire Penguins by Vincent Cooley
 
Empire Penguins are flightless birds that live in Antarctica. Penguins have wings to help them swim. Their predators are orkas and sea lions and eagles. They eat fish and krill and squid.
When the egg is laid the mother penguin goes out to get food. While the mother is out the egg would be hatched.
Penguins use their senses to find who they love. In one year the couple love each other and their baby will be grown.
