Meet theRhi-swano-zeb-tah

Year 5 Workbook By Maria Richards

© Talk for Writing

Welcome to the Rhi-swano-zeb-tah workbook.

Inside you’ll find lots of things to work through that will help you with your reading and writing skills and build on the work you do at school.

I’m your explorer and guide, so let's get on with our exciting adventure together!

Stimulus – Where the Wild Things AreIn 1963, Maurice Sendak wrote the picture book Where the Wild Things Are. Do you know it? In the story, Max, on the night he wore his wolf suit, went on a magical journey to the land of the Wild Things and became the king of these strange creatures. Eventually, he missed home and made the journey back to his bedroom, where it all began. It’s a wonderful story – you can listen to it here and see the wonderful illustrations.

Follow this link to watch the video: https://cutt.ly/6yrU67Z

In the story, there are many strange creatures that have never been seen before. As an explorer, I discover strange creatures all the time on my travels around the world. I have become expert at looking very carefully for animals as some are very good at hiding.

Get Exploring!

Here’s a new creature I managed to photograph on my travels to Africa last year. It is the extremely rare Rhi-swano-zeb-tah. It is believed to contain DNA from four different animals: rhinos, swans, zebras and cheetahs – which gives it its name.

Now you know it’s a mix ofrhino plusswan plus theo of rhino plus the start of zebra and the end of cheetah,you will be able to pronounce it easily!

I have written a paper about it, using my research, to help you find out more about this wonderful animal. Read on and discover the world of the Rhi-swano-zeb-tah!YoU can listen to an AUdio version of the text herehttp s : // s o U N dclo UD. co m/ t alkfo r w rit i n g/ rh i - sw a n o- z e b - t ah / s - VR W 2 g b i X c M Y

The Rhi-swano-zeb-tahAn information text

by Ted Splorer

The Rhi-swano-zeb-tah is an extremely rare, flying creaturefrom the subfamily Rhinofelinae.

Rhi-swano-zeb-tahs, although uncommon, are easy to identify, as they are a mixture of four distinct animals. They have the head of a rhino, the body of a swan and zebra and the tail of a cheetah. They have a wingspan of 2.8 metres and can grow to over 5 metres in length, which means they are the largest flying creatures since Pterodactyl dinosaurs.Additionally, their skin tends to be covered in feathers but as they get older, the zebra stripes become more prominent. Their tails are covered in fur and their heads are covered in leathery, grey skin. However, juveniles are born completely bald and develop their fur, feathers and colourings when they mature.

Most Rhi-swano-zeb-tahs are found across South Africa, although some have been known to inhabit the deepest rainforests of Venezuela. Amazingly, Rhi-swano-zeb-tahs like to burrow and therefore make their homes underground.They use their Rhino tusk to gouge the sun-baked soil and tunnel deep down, to create soil cocoons to sleep in. Some have been known to sleep in trees, but only the largest Kapok branches can support their enormous weight.

All Rhi-swano-zeb-tahs are carnivores and only eat meat. Interestingly, their favourite prey is the Springbok antelope, which they descend on from great heights and then wrestle to the ground. They have also been known to devour many smaller mammals such as African Wild Cats and aardvarks. Furthermore, many will guzzle gallons of water a day and sadly, these creatures can cause huge water shortages during the dry season.

As well as being the largest flying animal in the world, the Rhi-swano-zeb-tah is also the most talented. The majority can use their vocal cords to create the most beautiful morning chorus as the sun rises. This is with the exception of the young males. Their voices do not develop until they are 15 years old and some explorers have reported that their calls are high-pitched, squeaky and very unpleasant to listen to. In addition to this, and despite their size, all Rhi-swano-zeb-tahs are tremendously agile. They can stand on one leg for long stretches of time, roll and flip whilst running or flying and can balance on narrow branches and cliff edges when surveying for prey.

For many years, scientists have been secretly tracking the Rhi-swano-zeb-tahs in the wild and now know that there are only approximately 625 roaming the savannahs and nesting in rainforests. Amazingly, however, there have been rare sightings in other parts of the world, so just maybe, the Rhi-swano-zeb-tah will be spotted in a neighbourhood near you in the not-so-distant future.
