An Essay About Animals

Animals are AWESOME!!!! They range in length and have different habitats. They also have different interactions with each other and in their environments. Animals have several characteristics that set them apart from other living things. Their bodies are different, some are big and some are small. The largest animals ever lived were the blue wale, African elephant and the dinosaurs. Other example of a big animal is the giraffe. Animals are awesome because they can be friendly and even become pets. Some can be mean so you might want to try to be friends with a sloth or a koala. You may not want a slow or ugly creature but I think if you get to learn more about them you might find a good friend. Animals are awesome because they have different habitats for example: a penguin versus a snake. Penguins habitat is cold and icy on the other hand the snakes habitat is dry with leaves, trees and holes so they can hide and catch its prey. Animals habitats can be on the ground or in the water. When animals are born they are small then they grow bigger as they eat and exercise. Some animals eat meats, some eat plants and there are many that eat both. My favorite wild animal is a leopard because they're fast like I am. They are vicious and have many different patterns. Animals color are results from the reflection or emission of light from its surfaces. Some animals are brightly colored, while others are hard to see. Some animals use their color as a physical protection or to express feelings. Through my research of many species of awesome animals I've concluded that while their behavior, habitats and sizes are different in many ways they are all uniquely interesting to me.
