Crabs have 10 legs. The first pair are its claws. Crabs live in all the world's oceans in fresh water, and on land. There are over 4500 species of crabs. There are hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, horseshoe crabs crab lice and many more crabs.
Male crabs tend to often fight with each other over females or hiding holes. The Pea Crab is the smallest known species that is just a few millimeters wide. The largest species is the Japanese Spider Crab, with a leg span up to 13 feet. Crabs are omnivores meaning they eat both meat and plants. They feed mainly on algae, but they eat worms too. The most consumed species of crab in the world is the Japanese Blue Crab. Like Spiders, crabs have legs that bend at the joints. Swimming crabs use their front legs to paddle in water. Male crabs have blue colored claws. Females have red colored. Crabs have good eyes. They can see if there in their burrow or under a rock. I don't like crabs. I don't like them because of their claws. Though I do like them because of their little face.

The kraken can eat anything... even sharks! It is said the sea monster eats humans, squids, fish, whales, pirates, and sailors. Krakens are the biggest, and meanest animal on earth. The kraken lives in the seas off of Norway, Iceland, and in the Scandinavian sea.
Krakens live in very deep water. What ever they see they eat. The kraken is mostly called a sea monster. I don't like Krakens. I don't like them because they are scary, and big. If I ever saw a kraken, I would probably faint. Krakens use their suckers for holding their food. The giant squid and the kraken are closely related except the kraken is bigger and a different color. No reptile, mammal, or amphibian can beat the size of the kraken. I think krakens are ugly. Some people don't believe in krakens. Krakens never come out of the deep water. They don't want to be caught on a fish hook. Though if a fish hook did get a kraken, it would probably eat the person that hooked it. Ashleigh Rabbits and bunnies are the same animal. There's no difference in breed or species. In the summer, rabbits eat grass, wild strawberries, garden vegetables and some flowers. In the winter, they survive on woody stems and even the bark of some trees. A male rabbit is called buck.
A female rabbit is called a doe. A baby rabbit is called a kit, or a kitten. Rabbits build underground burrows to live in. The burrows have tunnels and large rooms. Rabbits live in big groups. Rabbits start having babies when they’re one year old. Rabbits can have as many as 25 babies in one year. Rabbits make nests for their babies under bushes or sheds or even old compost piles. Baby rabbits stay with their moms for only two weeks. Then they fend for themselves. I like rabbits, and bunnies. I like them because they are so cute. Hares have longer ears than rabbits. They also have longer legs. Ashleigh The porcupine is the prickliest of rodents. Its Latin name is quill pig. There are more than two dozen porcupine species. The coat of quills is to protect it from predators. Some quills, of Africa porcupines, are nearly a foot long.
Porcupines have soft hair, but on their back, sides, and tail it is usually sharp quills. These quills lie flat until a porcupine is threatened, then the quills point up. Porcupines cannot shoot them at predators. Quills have sharp tips that make them hard to remove once they are stuck in another animal's skin. Porcupines grow new quills in replace the ones they lose. Porcupines are found in North and South America. They are also good climbers and spend much of their time in trees. The North American porcupine is the only species that lives in the U.S. and Canada. It is also the largest of all porcupines. North American porcupines use their large front teeth to satisfy a healthy appetite for wood. Other porcupine species live in Africa, Europe, and Asia. These animals usually live on the ground in deserts, grasslands, and forests. There are 29 spices of porcupines. Babies have soft quills at birth, which harden within a few days. Most young porcupines are ready to live on their own at about two months of age. Ashleigh Blob fish eat what ever floats by. Blob fish live in deep water off of Tasmania and Australia. They are rarely seen by humans. A blob fish can live for 130 years. Blob fish lay eggs numbering into the thousands.
Blob fish lay pink colored eggs. They stay with their eggs unlike most fish. They sit on top their eggs, or float just above them. Unlike most fish, Blob fish will lay their eggs close to another blob fish. A blob fish's only predator is humans. A blob fish is voted the ugliest animal on the world. I fink there funny looking. A blob fish tastes like crab but a little sweeter. Some blob fish are shaped like the moon, like the one in my picture. There are also ones shaped like a mooched up egg. I like blob fish. I like them because they have big funny lips, tiny eyes, and big body. I like the tiny black eyes, they go good with the mooched up body.When looked straight on, it looks like a human face. A large flap of skin folds over the wide mouth is like a nose. The two eyes are visible as well. The head of a Blob fish weighs a surprising 1/3 of its total body weight. Ashleigh Eagles eat birds and small mammals. Eagles are not closely related to each other. The nest of a eagle is made of tree branches and other stuff like grass, twigs, or leaves. An eagle makes its nest really big in tall places.
The bald eagle, with its snowy-feathered (not bald) head and white tail, makes a huge nest. Bald eagles remain mostly in Alaska and Canada. A bald eagles nest can reach 10 feet wide, and 20 feet deep. As many as 4,000 eagles can gather on a riverbank to catch spawning salmon. Bald eagles can dive at up to 100 miles an hour to snatch a fish from the water. When babies are born, the parents go and get food for them. A baby eagle is called a fledgling or an eaglet. In general, a baby eagle is called an eaglet. I like eagles. I like them because they look cool when they dive, they fly fast, and they catch fish in a cool way. I bet they can even eat a dog. Though I doubt they would. Ashleigh Crows eat a lot of foods, including grains, seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, and many kinds of small animals such as earthworms and mice. They eat many insects, including some crop pests, and also eat aquatic animals such as fish, young turtles, crayfish mussels, and clams. Crows live mostly in North America. They also can often be found in forests, woodlands, and fields. I like crows.
I like them because of their color, their long talons, and their big beak. Crows start mating in late May or June. Crows mate for life. The only exceptions are if the male crow is killed or the birds can not keep the breeding line going. Crows are actually some of the most intelligent for hunting and are very adaptable to their surroundings. At birth, a baby crow is called a chick. Crows are wild birds, not pets. All female birds are called hens. Some crows can have 20 babies. Crows are hard to see in the night because their black. Crows nests are very big. It looks like a eagles nest, but a little bite smaller. Goldfish can eat food such as shrimp, earth worms, lettuce, peas, oranges, krill, daphnia, duckweed, blood worms, and other shrimps. Goldfish live in China Japan and Korea. Goldfish also can even be found in waters all throughout the United States. Goldfish enjoy other goldfish. They like to play behind plants and nibble on real ones.
You can also find goldfish at Chinese restaurants. The Goldfish eggs should hatch in two or three days depending on the temperature of the water in your tank. First it is important to realize that the eggs must be fed by a male Goldfish, after the eggs have been laid by a female. Though if you do not have a tank or a goldfish it is okay. Goldfish are a lot of work! I like Goldfish. Goldfish are as edible as any other freshwater fish. I think it would be sad if you ate a goldfish and it probably wouldn't taste very good. Most goldfish enemies are removed if they are kept in an aquarium. Though if they are not in an aquarium, they will have to deal with cats. Goldfish do sleep, but they don't close their eye's because they don't have any eyelids! Goldfish have several different fins that help them move from place to place. A goldfish cannot swim backwards. I hope you like goldfish. Because I do. Ashleigh Pandas are mammals that have a big appetite for bamboo. Pandas eat for the first half the day. It hungrily the plucks stalks with wrist bones and thumbs. Pandas will sometimes eat birds or rodents as well. Wild pandas live only in China.
High bamboo forests are cool and wet—just as pandas like it. They may climb as high as 13,000 feet in the mountains to feed on bamboo. Pandas are often seen with their hind legs stretched out before them. Pandas are also good tree climbers, and swimmers. Pandas have sense of smell that males use to avoid each other and to find females for mating in the spring. After five-months, females give birth to a cub or two, though they cannot care for both twins. The blind babies are 5 ounces at birth and cannot crawl until they reach three months of age. They are born white, and develop their much-loved coloring later. Ashleigh Green sea turtles eat sea grass, squid, sponges, tunicates and algae. They mainly will eat fish. Hawksbill sea turtles have jaws shaped to help them get food out of reefs. Sea turtles live in almost every ocean. Sea Turtles have few natural enemies, sharks would be one but the turtles greatest enemy would be Mankind.
All sea turtles drink only seawater all of their lives. Loggerhead sea turtles and the riddle sea turtles have more powerful jaws to crush with. They eat crabs, mollusks, shrimp, and jellyfish. The sea turtle is large. It is also a weighty sea turtle with a wide, smooth shell. Weighing up to 700 pounds Green turtles are among the largest sea turtles in the world. They have a small head. Males are slightly larger than females and have a longer tail. Both have flippers that paddle. They paddle gracefully which make them powerful and graceful swimmers. I like sea turtles. I also like green sea turtles. I mostly like the green sea turtle. I hope you like them too. Ashleigh |
