Pit Bulls  by David C.

         Pit Bulls can be many different sizes. They can weigh between 22 – 78 pounds 

and be as tall as 14 – 24 inches tall. Their heads are like bricks and it is broad 

between the cheeks. Their necks area thick and they have a muscular tail. They also 

have a shiny coat. Pit bulls can come in many different colors, from black, brown, red, 

and white.   They can live to be 12 – 14 years old. When they give birth, their litter 

size can be between 5-10 babies.

     Most people feed their dogs wet or dry dog food, but there are some that feed them 

whatever they want. You have a choice if you want to free feed your pit bull or feed 

him on a schedule. I think putting him on a schedule is better. Pit bulls need lots of 

exercise.   Some pit bulls sleep inside the house and others sleep outside. 

     Pit bulls are very intelligent. Because of this they are the most misunderstood 

animal.   They don’t have the strongest bites, since Rottweiler do. Pit bulls do not 

make good guard dogs because it is not in their nature. Humans have bred them to be 

friendly. Some humans have turned them to be very aggressive. 

Ruler of the North Woods by Kayla M.

    Have you ever heard the howl of a wild wolf? The eerie sound makes your skin tingle 

and your heart race with excitement. The Grey Wolf is one of the top predators in the 

northern regions of the United States and they roam the woods and mountains with no 

fear. 

     You might think that all Grey Wolves are grey, but that is no the case. They range in 

color from grey to black or all white. The Grey Wolf is the part of the dog family and 

help keep the ecosystem in check. They eat hoofed animals like deer, elk, moose, and 

caribou. They also eat smaller animals like rabbits and beavers.

    Today, the Grey Wolf population is growing and scientists believe that there may 

be as many as 16,500 wolves roaming in Canada, The Rockies, The Great Lakes Region, 

The Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. They continue to expand their range as their numbers 

grow. 

    Grey Wolves usually mate in January or February and it takes about 63 days to 

have their pups. A typical litter is between 4 and seven adorable wolf pups; how cute! 

The pups will stay with the pack for about 10 months to a year before heading out on 

their own. 

    The Grey Wolf is a majestic animal that deserves our protection and respect.   I 

hope that I can see one in the wild one day because they are beautiful animals.

The Grey Wolf by Wyatt T.

         Have you ever seen a grey wolf? I haven’t except for 

pictures, but I would like to. They are mammals that 

eat deer, moose, bison, elk, sheep, caribou, beavers, 

and hares. Their habitat is mountains, forests, and 

grass lands. Did you know the grey wolf is also known 

as the timber wolf? They were on the endangered 

species list because humans almost killed them all. 

They have strong jaws and 42 teeth. The alpha male 

and the alpha female mate for life and have 4 to 7 pups. 

They can weigh around 75 to 125 pounds. A wolf has a 

narrower chest and longer legs than a dog and has grey 

fur. I am glad they aren’t on the endangered species list 

and hope to see one someday.

Gray Wolves    by Lucas Schultz

    Gray Wolves are a member of the dog family.  

They are 4 feet long and weigh 100 pounds.   Wolves 

live in the northern forests and travel in packs of 3-24 

wolves.   They hunt for deer, elk, and moose to eat.   A 

female wolf gives birth to 3-13 pups and cares for them 

inside a cave.   Gray wolves are wild animals and 

dangerous.   I like the gray wolves because they are 

brave and strong.  

Boa Constrictors by Elon Smith 

     I am writing today to tell you about boa 

constrictors. They are pinkish-brown to grey   in 

color and are about 12 feet in length head to tail 

tip. They eat songbirds, lizards, bats, rats and 

other small mammals. They live in   the rainforest. 

Their predators are humans, jaguars and 

crocodiles. I found that boa constrictors are very 

interesting and I learned a lot about them.

African Elephant by Muneera S.

    Did you know Elephant’s are the largest 

animal on land? Did you also know that Elephant’s 

eat plant’s and berries? Elephants drink water out 

of their trunk. They also grab their food with it as 

well. African elephants live in deserts, and 

woodlands in Africa. Elephants are huge! That’s 

why I love elephants. 

Bee Size Bird by Kaila J.

   Are there birds the size of a bee? In fact, there are! Bee 

hummingbirds are the smallest known to man. These birds are round 

and chunky with a slender pointed beak. Their tiny wings can move 80 

times a second. Females are bluish green. And the males are red, blue 

and green. The bee hummingbirds’ habitat is limited to Cuba and the 

Island of Pines. The warm tropical areas are ideal for the rich nectar 

filled flowers they need to survive. They help their environment by 

pollinating other flowers. They also eat small insects. Between April and 

June the male sings with a high pitched squeaks and twitters to find a 

mate. After a couple of weeks, the female lays two white pea size eggs 

into a walnut seized nest. The female takes care of the young alone. The 

chicks hatch after two weeks and are ready to fledge in about 18 days. 

Bee hummingbirds can survive up to 7 years. They bee hummingbird is 

near extinct. Their main threats are larger birds, frogs, tropical spiders, 

and fish. Hurricanes can also cause problems for them. At just the size of 

a bee the bee hummingbird has many abilities. 

Eastern Whip-poor-will by Aaron C.

   These birds are famous in folk songs, poems 

and literature. They have a length of 8-10 in.

and weigh about 1-3 oz. for both sexes of 

birds.They have a wingspan of 17-19 in.   They 

are easy to hear but hard to see because they 

blend in with the trees and leaves. The birds 

eat any kind of insects. They have a wide 

mouth to catch these insects.

Frogs by Claire T. 

      Have you seen a small animal on land and 

water? Maybe it was a frog! Frogs are 

amphibians which means they live in land or 

water. They can leap the size of a football 

field. Colorful frogs are poisonous. Be careful! 

Frogs are amazing.

I Learned A Lot About Porcupines by Padamae G.

    I learned that there are different kinds of porcupines. 

There are some that have over 30,000 sharp quills and 

although a few such as prehensile and Mexicanus are naked on 

at least a portion of their tails. I also learned that Mountain 

lions and Fisher are the porcupines predators. A porcupine's 

size can range from about 15.5-51 in and about 6.5-22 lbs. 

Porcupines like to each ripe berries, apples, and leaves they 

also eat water lilies (because of the salt) and in winter they eat 

the bark off a Birch tree. Porcupines mainly live throughout 

forest, although one species extends into the desert. When a 

porcupine becomes an adult it only has one baby at a time. I 

find porcupines interesting because there is a lot to learn about 

them. Also, they don’t shoot out their quills they stick them in 

you if you get too close and their quills have a something in 

them where they won’t cause an infection if you or animal get 

stuck with one.

Zebras by Naomi S.

       Zebras are amazing creatures. They live 

in Africa where there are lots of predators. 

Zebras are mammals that eat grass, 

sometimes up to 18 hours a day. They have 

black and white stripes, weigh 770 pounds 

and live 20 to 40 years. Don’t you agree?

The Zebra by Savanna Y.

    The Zebra is a nice animal. Everybody 

likes the zebra. The Zebra has black and 

whit stripes that make it look different than 

any other animal. I see the zebra at the 

zoo, eating his food that the people are 

giving him. The zebra reminds me of a 

horse except we can ride the horse but not 

the zebra. I want to go to Africa to see the 

wild animals some day soon. 

The T- Rex by Landen W.

       My animal book is about the T-rex. The T-rex 

is a carnivore. A carnivore is a meat eater. The 

habitat for the T-rex was the Cretaceous period. 

The size of the T-rex is a height of 15 to 20 feet 

and it weighs 5 to 7 tons. 

African Elephants by Quentin S.

      There is much information on the African 

Elephant. They eat foods like roots, grass, fruit 

barks and water. Their habitat is rain forest or 

savannas depending on the elephant. The life cycle 

for an adolescent is about 10-17 years old. African 

Elephant’s average weight is 7 tons. The African 

Elephant is wrinkled with large ears and their 

forehead is flat. There is so much more to learn 

about African Elephants. 

 Elephants by MyKayla F.

               Elephants live for 70 years, and weigh 

12,000 pounds. They are 13 feet tall. Elephants live 

in the rain forest, and the desert. They eat bamboo, 

grass, and leaves. Elephants eat 300 to 400 pounds 

of food each day. Elephants carry their babies for 22 

months, and have a baby every 5 years. They purr 

like a cat, and do not like peanuts! Elephants only 

known predator is man!

Clouded Leopards by Audrey B.

         Clouded leopards are very interesting.   They are a 

medium size cat.   They grow to 2 to 3 feet tall.   They are 

yellowish with dark gray spots, stripes, and other patterns.  

Clouded leopards can climb upside down.   Clouded leopards 

can also climb down a tree head first.   They have big fangs 

compared to their body size.   Clouded leopards have one to 

five cubs each year.   They are carnivores.   They eat swine, 

birds, deer, and monkeys.   They live in southeast Asia.  

Their climate is tropical.   The only predator that clouded 

leopards have are people.   Poachers try to kill them for their 

bones and decorative coat.   Other people are wrecking the 

clouded leopard's habitat by building bigger cities.   I think 

clouded leopards are very cool.   Don't you think so?

Why I Love Rabbits   by Devanna Y.

       A rabbits food are grass herbs, garden lettuce, bark 

twigs, buds and carrots. The rabbit lives from Canada to 

South America. The rabbit seeks out habitats on the fringe 

of open space fields and meadows and farms. Rabbits 

preys on insects such as butterflies and bugs. The rabbits 

life cycle starts when a female give birth in shallow ground 

nests. The young are so helpless that perhaps only 15% 

survive their first year. The rabbits size is 15.5 2.18.75 

inch and 39.5 to 47.7 cm. Their weight is 28 to 54 ounces 

800 to 1533g. The interesting facts to me is that the life 

span in the wild is less than 3 years. Therefore that is why 

I love rabbits. 

I got my information from National Geographic.

Why I Love Big Giraffes by Devan Y.

     During the dry season giraffes eat evergreen leaves. A 

giraffe's habitat is in a savanna grasslands. Giraffes are fast 

walking animals. Giraffes life cycle of babies are often on 

their feet within 20 min. Giraffes are large males and 

females that may weigh up to 1,9000 kg and about 4,000 

200 lbs. The interesting facts about giraffes over 50% of all 

giraffes newborns are killed by hyenas. Therefore that is why 

i love giraffes.

My information came from Animal Corner.

Sheep by Xander M.

     My favorite video game that I like to play is 

Minecraft. One of my favorite characters in 

Minecraft is the sheep. So, I thought that it will be 

fun to learn about sheep. 

     Sheep live in fields or on farms with lots of 

grass, because that’s what they like to eat But they 

don’t like to be eaten. They stay together in large 

groups to to avoid predators like coyotes, wolves 

and mountain lions. Sheep have very good 

memories. They can remember the faces of up to 

fifty other sheep! Sheep are cool! I would like to go 

visit some at the petting   farm.

The Life of Penguins by Skyler S.

   Penguins are interesting animals. Penguins are an 

aquatic, flightless bird. Their tuxedo like appearance is 

called countershading. This is a camouflage that helps keep 

them safe in the water. They live on all the continents in 

southern hemisphere. They are hunted by sharks, skuas, 

orcas, and leopard seals. Other dangers are people stealing 

the eggs, poisons, and oil spills. They love to eat shrimp, 

fish and krill. They eat, swim, and nest in groups called 

rookeries. The males hatch the eggs so mom can hunt food. 

They have special calls so they can find their babies and 

mates. The emperor penguin lays one egg and all other 

penguins lay two. 

I found this information from National Geographic.

Penguins by Abby B.

     The animal I am writing about is the Penguins. 

There are 17 species of penguins. To name a few species 

there are Emperor Penguins, King Penguins, Gentoo 

Penguins, Macaroni Penguins, Adelie Penguins, and the 

Little Penguins. The Female lays the egg or eggs. In some 

species the male alone takes care of the egg or eggs until 

they are hatched. In other species, both the female and the 

male takes care of their egg or eggs. Penguins are usually 

black and white with feathers and they waddle when they 

walk. I have learned a lot about penguins and they are very 

interesting to learn about.

Amazing Sharks by Khalfani P.

    There are 465 types of sharks. They are many 

different sizes and lengths, and I love them all. 

Sharks are the predators, they are at the top of the 

food chain. Everyone fears them. They love to eat 

fish. They can smell fish and blood from a mile 

away. It’s a very scary fish. It has gray skin. It is 

very scaly. The sea is his home. Sharks only have 

one or two babies called pups. Not puppies, pups. 

Funny huh? Sharks are pretty cool, and I wish Mrs. 

West would take me and my class to meet one. 

Gorillas by Katelyn C.

     Have you ever seen a gorilla?   They are quite amazing!   They 

are a lot like us.   In fact, they have 98% identical DNA as humans. 

Male gorillas are the leaders of the troop.   They protect all the 

members of his troop.   They eat roots, leaves and fruit.   Gorillas 

play and eat all day and build a nest made from leaves at night to 

sleep. Female gorillas have one baby at a time.   Male gorillas can 

get up to 450 pounds and 5 feet tall. Females can grow to about 

200 pounds and 4.5 feet tall.  

      Almost all gorillas are endangered now.   People are cutting 

down trees and building on the land they live on.   Also they are 

being hunted by humans and leopards.  

     If you get a chance to ever go to the Detroit Zoo, make sure 

you go and see the gorillas. They are so cool.   If you watch them 

closely you will see how much we are like gorillas.

Shasha is a Pomeranian by Destiny E.

      Sasha lives with me and sleeps with me in my room 

and it’s a mess. She eats cat food. Why would a dog eat cat 

food? I have no clue why she eats cat food. Sasha watches 

TV with me in the living room and we looked out on the 

porch and there was a rainbow. We stayed out there for a 

minute then we come back in the house and she had to go 

potty, so I took her on the porch again. She goes to potty 

and she was happy. She likes to kiss me when I take her 

out. We have lots of fun with the cat playing with her. She 

sticks her head up and growls at me.

My Dog by Kenya S.

      My dog, J.P. likes to eat dog food. J.P. likes to play 

with kids. When people come over J.P. likes to smell 

them. He likes to army crawl across the room then he 

rolls over. J.P. likes to lick everybody on their face. J.P 

likes to follow you around and lay under your legs. J.P 

is a lazy dog and he sleeps all day long. J.P likes to 

play with our cats, but most of all he likes to protect 

his family and we love him.

Bengal Tigers by Sidney S.

     Tigers eat meat and live in India's, 

grasslands. Tigers have big fangs for killing lots 

of animals. Some male tigers weigh lots of 

pounds and that is just wrong and sad. Tigers 

can live up to 18 years in zoos and less in the 

wild. Baby tigers are called cubs and they have 

more stripes then their parents because they 

don’t get eaten by a other animals. They are so 

cute and when I mean so cute I mean so, so, so, 

so, so, so cute.
