Descriptive Text Animal About Elephants
I like elephants. Elephants are the
biggest land animals in the world. The African elephant is found on the
continent of Africa and the Indian elephant is found in Asia. Elephants
are mammals as well as herbivores, meaning they only eat plants rather
than meat.
I know that there are two main types of
elephants; the African elephant and the Indian elephant. The African
elephant is bigger than the Indian elephant. It has larger ears too.
Both the males and females have tusks. The African elephant has wrinkly
gray skin, a swayed back, and two tips at the end of its trunk that it
can use like fingers to pick stuff up. The tusk make elephant look
really cool.
The Indian, or Asian, elephant is
smaller than the African elephant and has smaller ears. They have more
of a humped back and only one fingerlike tip at the end of their trunk.
Also, their skin tends to be less wrinkly than the African elephant.
Next time go to the zoo. I want to ride an elephant.
Descriptive Text Animal About Giraffes
The Giraffes
Giraffes are truly giant animals. They
amaze me. I like giraffes because their long neck. They can grow up to
17 feet tall and weigh as much as 3,000 pounds. The male giraffes,
called bulls, are typically larger than the females, called cows. The
babies aren’t exactly small either. A baby giraffe, called a calf, is 6
feet tall at birth! Giraffes also have large hearts. Their hearts can be
up to 2 feet long and weigh over 20 pounds. They need these large
hearts to pump blood all the way up their long necks.
It is always fun to watch giraffes eat
from the tree. Their favorite types of leaves are from the acacia tree.
Giraffes are herbivores, meaning they eat plants rather than meat. They
use their long necks and tongues (which they can stick out up to a foot
and a half!) to get to leaves on trees. A typical full-grown adult
giraffe will eat over 70 pounds of leaves, twigs, and fruit each day.
Giraffes don’t need to drink water very often because there is so much
water in the leaves they eat. However, when they do drink water, they
can drink several gallons at a time. I think this is not good because a
giraffe has to bend down and get into a vulnerable position when
drinking. Not a good idea when there are lions sneaking around!
Descriptive Text Animal About Kangaroos
I like Kangaroos
Kangaroos is my favourite animal. The
Red Kangaroo is the largest of all the Kangaroos. They live throughout
much of the country of Australia and are the largest mammal that lives
in Australia. Its scientific name is Macropus rufus. Kangaroos are
herbivores. They get their name from the color of the male’s fur which
is a reddish brown.They mostly graze on grasses.
A male Red Kangaroo can jump up to 30
feet in one jump! They can also use their jumping ability to travel
quickly at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. Somedoy I want to go to
Australia to meet a kangaroo.
Descriptive Text Animal About Dolphins
Dolphins
I really interested in the dolphins.
They are one of the most playful and intelligent animals on our planet.
Even though dolphins spend their lives in the water, they are not fish,
but are mammals. Dolphins can’t breathe water like fish, but need to
come to the surface to breath air.
Dolphins eat other smaller fish, but
they eat squid, too, and some dolphins, like Killer Whales, will often
eat small sea mammals like seals and penguins. Dolphins often hunt
together, herding fish into packed groups or into inlets where they can
be easily caught. Some dolphins will share their food with the young or
let the young catch injured prey as practice. They don’t chew their
food, they swallow it whole. Dolphins get the water they need from the
animals they eat, rather than drinking ocean water.
Dolphins have excellent eyesight and
hearing. Underwater they use echolocation. Echolocation is kind of like
sonar where dolphins make a sound and then listen to the echo. Dolphin
is also tame animal that people can play with.
Descriptive Text Animal About Camel
Camel
The camel is the weirdest camel I ever see. it most famous for the large humps on its back. They live in the deserts.
Camels can eat most any type of
vegetation including dry, thorny, or bitter plants that other animals
may not want to eat. Their digestive system is tough and they have been
known to eat dead carcasses, clothing, and even shoes when extremely
hungry.
Camels store fat in their humps. This
fat can be converted to water and energy when they haven’t had food or
water to drink for some time. Once they have used up all the fat in
their humps, the humps become thin and floppy.
However what I like most about camels is their face. it looks so funny.
