This is my Introduction to my paragraph. I know about animals
living in the arctic and how many there are. I think that there are
many animals living in the arctic. There are animals living all
around the world but the ones I am most interested in are the polar
or arctic animals. They are some of the most endangered animals
with the ice melting and they are running out of food and they have
no place to live. Can you think about how many species there
are?
Slide 4
The arctic fox lives in the most frigid temperatures but the
fur coat and the fat from it keeps it warm. It also has furry paws
to walk across the icy Tundra and then they can get food for their
race of animals. Polar Bears are carnivores and they are getting
extinct but they do live up to 30 years so maybe they arent getting
extinct they are the kings of the food chain
Slide 5
The Arctic Hare is living in the harsh part of the North
America Tundra. It is 19-26 inches tall. Also it is very small; It
weighs 6-15 pounds in size. The Females have a litter every year or
2 and they eat berries, buds also. Basically they are other regular
bunny rabbits because they eat the same food but they dont live in
the same habitat, So on the snowy owl is a practically small animal
too and they eat the hares actually and other small like rodents.
They have 2 or 1 egg at a time and they also hunt for the family.
The snowy owls rely on their hearing too since they cant see their
prey at night
Slide 6
I went to the nature center with my class and I learned about
many different animals that are kind of like the animals living in
the arctic. They told us about the wolfs that mysteriously showed
up on an island and moose that their population went down when the
wolfs came there. Also the wolfs population went down because the
moose were all gone. But I guess there were more animals. But Im
sure they liked a good moose once and while?
Slide 7
The Regular old Penguin is coming up time to time. I am going
to talk about the Emperor Penguin, it is one of the tallest
Penguins in the world and they eat shrimp or krill. It stands at
some 45 inches tall and they survive in -76 degrees weather. Men
sit on the eggs and then women go on a long journey some do not
come back. Well women are gone they literally have nothing to eat
because they cant leave their egg unattended so they have to wait
for women to come back and in that short time they egg will hatch.
The walrus lives in the sea of the arctic tundra.
Slide 8
The bow headed whales are one of the last animals I am going to
talk about. The bow head has a lovely figure as you have seen in
other pictures. The bow head travels in the arctic and travels in
sixes or alone they are maybe the animal kind that you wouldnt see
at your regular zoo. The last animal is the wolverine and no it is
not the University of Michigan wolverine it is the regular animal
the wolverine. The wolverine is one of the most vicious animals one
you want to watch out for.
