Halloween Ceremony and Animal Facts

Hello! Today is the time for the Halloween Ceremony for the first place second place and third place people. The first person for first place is my sister who was a skeleton cat.
For second place is my friend Sydney who is a gypsy.
For third place is my friend Isabel who is Lagoona Blue from Monsters High. I really like her wig and fins most.
Now that is the end and also thank you for participating.

I also have something else to talk about which is Animal Facts first of all have you guys heard about the Galapagos Turtle? It is one of the biggest turtles in the world and is 1.8 meters long and it lives for 200 years or more. It eats grasses, leaves, cacti and fruits. It weighs 150-200 kg and the turtles are threatened by non-active cats and feral pigs that eat their eggs and pigs and goats eat their vegetation and are also killed by forest fires.

Another fact is have you seen the Axolotl? They are white or black and they are fish. They have four legs  and have like 2 fins on their head that looks like fin ears and they have a tail. They look like half tadpole and half salamander. They live in freshwater lakes and they die from pollution and habitat loss. They are also very endangered. They even eat tadpoles, worms, insects, crustaceans and small fish.

Another fact is have you seen the Marabou Stork? They are like vultures but have legs like ostrich's. They are 1.5 meters high and weigh 9 kg. They eat carrion, birds, fish, reptiles and insects. They die from habitat loss, they are also losing their carnivore diet because the numbers are dropping down from hunters and other animals eat their food but the good news is they are adapted to town life so they scavenge in garbage cans and abattoirs.

Another fact is have you seen the African Grey Parrot? They are about 33 cm long and weigh 400-600 g. They even live for 60 years. They eat fruits, seeds, berries and flowers. Their numbers are dropping down from habitat loss and too many are taken away from the wild and are put in pet stores for the pet trade. They are also declining.

Another fact is have you ever seen a Serval? They have pointy ears and small faces. They look like house cats and they have spots like a cheetah. They eat hares, rodents, frogs and birds. They live in grasslands and are dying from hunters for their shiny coats they are also declining too which is very bad. They are also wiped out from eating small animals in farms. Most of them were wiped out in South Africa and North Africa were they live.

I got to go. Bye! I will write back soon!
