It is really cool ho...Dear Mrs. Yollis and class,<br /> <br />It is really cool how the food chain works. The food chain is amazing when the littlest animal gets eaten then the next one has more strength. The last animal in the food chain has the most strength.<br /> <br />My favorite animal was Tucker, the hedgehog. When Tucker was a hedgehog he was about the size of Ms. C’s palm of her hand. Hedgehogs don’t have spikes their stomach because when it curls up it will poke itself. My class got to touch the hedgehog quills. She only let us touch the bottom to the top, but didn’t let us touch the tips because they can really heart you. He looks so adorable, and he has really cool features. <br /> <br />Sally the salamander was slimy and some people said it felt like a hotdog or a basketball. Sally has holes on her body, those holes are important because she needs them so she can breath underwater. The cool thing of Sally breathing underwater is that she can eat and breath underwater at the same time.<br /> <br />Ms. C. also brought in a great horned owl. The great horned owl doesn't have horns like you think they do. The great horned owl can’t fly because somebody found him and cept him in a birdcage. Wildlife Experience thinks that the people who found the owl had the cage near some bathroom products. They think their children were spraying the owl with hair spray. That family could have gotten in a lot of trouble just by stealing that great horned owl. So, they called Wildlife Experience to come over and take the owl. Now since the cage was so small, The owl has to lean over because in the cage he had to bend down, but Wildlife Experience is taking care of him. <br /> <br />I know this might sound crazy but Ms. C brought a skunk into or classroom. You might think that the skunk might of sprayed the classroom, but they got some people to remove the spray so we didn’t get sprayed. Ms. C. told us that when the skunk gets mad, and when he gets mad he tries to spray. He dosen’t know that he can’t spray. He likes to eat peas and yogurt. Yogurt is a treat to him. I thought Trouble adorable, and he looked a little afraid.<br /> <br />I thought that all of the animals were amazing.<br /> <br />What did you think of all of these animals?<br />What other animals that you know that have cool adaptations.<br /> <br />Warmly,<br />Allie<br />Allienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-50099263835664407992017-06-09T11:01:51.408-07:002017-06-09T11:01:51.408-07:00Dear Mrs. Yollis and Class,
Wow! I loved all the...Dear Mrs. Yollis and Class,<br /> <br />Wow! I loved all the animals, but I am going to zoom in on some of the animals that I liked the most and am interested in the most. <br /> <br /> <br />I was most interested in the kinkajou, gopher snake, hedgehog,skunk and owl. The owl could not fly because the people who found it took it to their house as a pet. As it got bigger, it could not spread its wings out so when Wildlife Experience came to get the owl, he could not fly.<br /> <br /> <br />The kinkajou is an endangered species because people are killing the kinkajou for their fur and kinkajous live in trees. People cut down trees for wood. Now there are very little kinkajous left in the wild.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The gopher snake that we saw had a problem with his eye four to five years at Wildlife Experience. They had to put a needle in his eye four five years, and it helps him. Some people think the gopher snake feels like a hotdog.<br /> <br /> <br /> That skunk could not spray because they took all the spray out of him. Even if he stomps and pushes, no spray would come out! One day when the skunk was a baby in the wild a man was walking his dog and saw this baby skunk. He took the dog back to his house and then walked back, hid in the bushes and the mom had never come to back to pick up her baby skunk. So, the man took the skunk to Wildlife Experiences.<br /> <br /> <br />The hedgehog has quills on its back. A lot of people think it’s like a miniature version of a porcupine, but that would be a baby porcupine. Porcupines have spikes on their backs. Hedgehogs have quills that cross each other. So they can only fight predators on their left or their right side. <br />What was your favorite animal?<br /> <br />Best,<br />Lola<br /> <br />Lolanoreply@blogger.com
