Writing - Snow Leopard Info Report

 For the best week we've been working on a piece of writing called a information report. we had a few choices of endangered animals but i choose the snow leopard. it was a bit hard to add detail into the paragraphs but fun to learn more about them! Anyways, heres my writing!! telll me what i would add or take away, anyways read ahead!!

 SAVE THE SNOW LEOPARDS

Introduction

You've heard of a Leopard but do you know about the endangered species known as the snow leopards? They are endangered because theres only 4000-6000 left in the world. Snow leopards are an apex predator which means they are at the top of their food chain just like us. Their scientific name is the Panthera Uncia. 

Appearance 

These animals have a beautiful furry coat with a somelike cheetah print on it. People call them the snow cheetahs for that resemblance. They have soft fur which becomes even thicker in winter to keep the kitty warm. They camouflage into their habitat because of their white fluffy fur which also has a tint of yellow and brown. 

Diet

They love to munch on farm animals such as sheep, goats, horses and yak calves. They also eat blue sheep, deer, ibex and marmots. But that's pretty bad for them. They are hunted by farmers for eating their pets. But that's only one reason they are endangered…. 

Habitat

These kittens like to live in the high mountains of Asia where it's all snowy. They live in 12 different countries in Asia such as Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Russia and alot more so lots of choices! Just like the Antarctic, their snow is melting from climate change. That's another reason why they are endangered. 

Conclusion

To summarise this, we'll have to try our best to persuade people to stop poaching these cute little creatures. Although their coats are gorgeous and soft, you don't need to wear them! I hope I've somewhat helped you learn or maybe even changed your mind! So please, do your small part! Maybe even look into these websites: WWF or maybe even Take Action? Anyways, thank you for your time.

Habitat Destruction - Inquiry

For inquiry Mrs Jones group has been learning about endangered animals and habitats and how they got ruined. We've been learning for about 7 weeks (The whole term). We now have been doing a D.L.O on what we have learnt about Habitat destruction on land and in the ocean. We were also trying to help you learn something new so I hope you did! It was also hard to try and fit everything but I didn't end up fitting everything because I think I went overboard with the decor. Anyway here is my D.L.O, im very proud of it. Also, tell me if you want a tutorial on the text bit. Ok, Here you go! 

Eerie Elephants - Information Report

In writing we have been writing information reports about endangered animals. We have a pretty long list but out of all of them I chose the Elephant because of its uniqueness. It was kinda hard to research enough to make 5 paragraphs (Introduction, Food, Habitat, Appearance and conclusion.) So anyway enough talking so heres my writing!!

Eerie Elephants

Introduction

Do you know that elephants can't jump?

Elephants are an amazing animal, unfortunately they are endangered. Sadly, people kill elephants for their tusks, even though it's illegal, people made one eyed decisions.

Habitat

Elephants are scattered around the regions of Asia and Africa in the savannas, grasslands and highlands. The elephants are like the janitors for savannas because they eat the shrubs so that new grass can grow. Do you know that elephants are important ecosystem engineers for forested habitats too? They make pathways for animals to pass through.

Appearance

Elephants are most known for they’re big ears, being the biggest ears of any living animal. Newborn elephants can weigh between about 90kgs to 121kgs, NEWBORNS! There are three species known of elephants and one of them is pretty unique. The Asian and Asian Bush Elephant, flick mud and dirt onto their back to keep them from not overheating but because the Africa Forest elephant’s ears are flatter than the others which helps them keep cool. Most people think all elephants are a light greyish colour but they usually aren't. They are supposedly dark grey but they also can be the same colour as the soil in their habitat is.

Food

Elephants are herbivores meaning they are like a vegetarian. Despite being one of the biggest animals on earth, they prefer small things like small plants, twigs, tree bark and roots. Do you also know that Elephants like cake? Adult Elephants can consume up to 300 pounds of food in a single day, if us humans ate that much food, we’d definitely gain a bit. An elephant eats by ripping the food out of the ground or picking it up by its trunk and bends its trunk and puts it in its mouth. Some people don't know this but the end of the elephant's trunk isn’t its mouth. 

Conclusion

These Elephants are very unique and are getting killed because of poachers. If you’d like to help the elephants you can not buy ivory because you’d encourage the shop to make more clothes or accessories out of it and maybe even sign up for an elephant helper website. I hope this report helped you learn something new!
