Dodo bird

   Dodo birds were very interesting animals.  They had very unique characteristics.  I am excited about writing about dodo birds. They went extinct in 1681. Humans and animals invaded their habitat causing their extinction.

• Dodo birds are related to pigeon birds.
• They could not fly
• Dodo birds can be resurrected
• Had no natural predators
• They built their nests on the ground

Extinct Animals

      There is  many animals that are extinct. There is many more animals that are on their way to extinction.  Many were killed for their fur, skin, and horns.  I am going to do extinct animal facts and reasons that they died. Some of the animals I am going to do are...

1.   Dodo bird  

2.   Black rhinoceros

3.   Woolly mammoth     

4.   Pinta island tortoise

5.   Woolly rhinoceros  

    There will be much more animals. These are just some that I am most excited about.                       

White Harp Seal

                           White harp seals.

        White harp seals live in the cold parts of the world and I love winter.

· Adult seals grow to be approximately 5-6 feet and 300-400 pounds.

· A mother seal can distinguish its pup with smell alone.

· Pups are born with yellowish hair it changes to white in 10-12 days.

· When a pup seal eats its teeth grow, if it does not eat their teeth do not grow.

· In mating season male seals will dance to get the best mate.

·Predators include walruses, polar bears, orcas and sharks.

1. Dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals on earth.
2. They are acrobatic animals
3. Sleep a total of 8 hours per day
4. Calves stay with their mom for 3-8 years.
5. Sharks and Orcas are dolphin's main predators.

   

   Happy leaping dolphins.

Introducing Who I Am and My Blog

Blogging was recently introduced into my life. I have made this blog to share facts about fascinating animals.  This blog is a school project.  I am going to enjoy this very much. Now to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Carolyn.  I have a family of eight. I live with my mom, dad, brother, three sisters, and my nephew. I am bilingual. I speak english and spanish. My parents are both mexican.  I love the ocean, although I don't live near it.  I also love winter because I can drink hot chocolate every day.  I only like summer because we don't have school, and I can eat  ice cream.
