I like Elephants

I like elephants. Elephants are the biggest land animals in the world. The African elephant is
found on the continent of Africa and the Indian elephant is found in Asia. Elephants are
mammals as well as herbivores, meaning they only eat plants rather than meat.

I know that there are two main types of elephants; the African elephant and the Indian
elephant. The African elephant is bigger than the Indian elephant. It has larger ears too. Both
the males and females have tusks. The African elephant has wrinkly gray skin, a swayed
back, and two tips at the end of its trunk that it can use like fingers to pick stuff up. The tusk
make elephant look really cool.

The Indian, or Asian, elephant is smaller than the African elephant and has smaller ears. They
have more of a humped back and only one fingerlike tip at the end of their trunk. Also, their
skin tends to be less wrinkly than the African elephant. Next time go to the zoo. I want to ride
an elephant.
 Dolphins

I really interested in the dolphins. They are one of the most playful and intelligent animals on
our planet. Even though dolphins spend their lives in the water, they are not fish, but are
mammals. Dolphins can’t breathe water like fish, but need to come to the surface to breath
air.

Dolphins eat other smaller fish, but they eat squid, too, and some dolphins, like Killer
Whales, will often eat small sea mammals like seals and penguins. Dolphins often hunt
together, herding fish into packed groups or into inlets where they can be easily caught. Some
dolphins will share their food with the young or let the young catch injured prey as practice.
They don’t chew their food, they swallow it whole. Dolphins get the water they need from the
animals they eat, rather than drinking ocean water.

Dolphins have excellent eyesight and hearing. Underwater they use echolocation.
Echolocation is kind of like sonar where dolphins make a sound and then listen to the echo.
Dolphin is also tame animal that people can play with.
 Camel

The camel is the weirdest camel I ever see. it most famous for the large humps on its back.
They live in the deserts.

Camels can eat most any type of vegetation including dry, thorny, or bitter plants that other
animals may not want to eat. Their digestive system is tough and they have been known to eat
dead carcasses, clothing, and even shoes when extremely hungry.

Camels store fat in their humps. This fat can be converted to water and energy when they
haven’t had food or water to drink for some time. Once they have used up all the fat in their
humps, the humps become thin and floppy.

However what I like most about camels is their face. it looks so funny.
 The Giraffes

Giraffes are truly giant animals. They amaze me. I like giraffes because their long neck. They
can grow up to 17 feet tall and weigh as much as 3,000 pounds. The male giraffes, called
bulls, are typically larger than the females, called cows. The babies aren’t exactly small
either. A baby giraffe, called a calf, is 6 feet tall at birth! Giraffes also have large hearts.
Their hearts can be up to 2 feet long and weigh over 20 pounds. They need these large hearts
to pump blood all the way up their long necks.

It is always fun to watch giraffes eat from the tree. Their favorite types of leaves are from the
acacia tree. Giraffes are herbivores, meaning they eat plants rather than meat. They use their
long necks and tongues (which they can stick out up to a foot and a half!) to get to leaves on
trees. A typical full-grown adult giraffe will eat over 70 pounds of leaves, twigs, and fruit
each day. Giraffes don’t need to drink water very often because there is so much water in the
leaves they eat. However, when they do drink water, they can drink several gallons at a time.
I think this is not good because a giraffe has to bend down and get into a vulnerable position
when drinking. Not a good idea when there are lions sneaking around!
 My Cat

I have a cat. It is a female cat. She has a long tail. She like to lick her tail.

My cat’s fur is white and brown. So, I call her “si belang” because she has two collor.

Belang like to eat fish. But sometime I also fed her tempe. She also like tempe.

At the afternoon, when the sunset, she like to play outside the house. She will be running,
rolling, and then climbing the tree. She is so funny.
 The Jackfruit Tree

Behind my house, at the garden, there is a jackfruit tree. It is a big tree. People say it is older
than me. My grandfather planted this tree long time ago, before I was born.

This big jackfruit tree sometimes will bear fruit. It has a delicious fruit called nangka. It is a
very delicious fruit. The fruit also can be as a vegetable. My mother also like to cook the
nangka. It is very delicious.
 My Rose Apple Tree

I have a rose apple tree in front my house. It will bear fruit every years. At that time I can eat
the rose apple fruit every day. In the afternoon, after school, my friends will come to my
house, and then we enjoy the fruit together.

But my rose apple tree also sometimes can be a trouble for me. When it has too much leaves,
it will fall down, and I have to sweep them every morning. So, every time the tree has too
much leaves, ma father and me will cut it.
 My Rose Flower Plant

I have a rose plant at my small garden. Its smell is fabulous to the nose. Its pedals are so
delicate. Its colors are immaculate.

My rose plant is very beautiful, but be careful, please don’t touch, and don’t take a hold.
Cause when you do its thorns will surely hurt you. I’ll warn you now

I am watering my roses every morning. I hope to have more flower in my small garden.
