Whilst I was wondering in the forest last year we found a squirell tangled up in some weeds so we also took him home and fed him a few nuts and water and before you know it he was gone by the next morning!
My favorite animals are :Tigers, Leopards, Lions.
Tigers
Easilly recognized by its reddish-orange and dark stripes,the tiger are the largest wild cat in the world. The big cat weighs up to 720 pounds (363 kilograms), stretches 6 feet (2 meters long)and has a 3-foot – (1-meter-)long tail. The powerful predator generally hunts alone, able to bring down prey such as Deer and Antelope. Tigers wait till dark to hunt.
My favorite animal is a Tiger. roarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Easily recognized by its reddish-orange and dark stripes, the Tigers are the largest wild cat in the world. The big cat weighs up to 720 pounds (363 kilograms), stretches 6 feet (2 meters long) and has a 3 foot (1 meter long) tail. The powerful predator generally hunts alone, able to bring down prey such as a Deer and a Anletope. Tigers wait till dark to hunt.
Once the Tiger has spotted its prey, its sneaks as close as possible to its victim.
Then the tiger sprints to the unsuspecting animal, usually , pulling of it feet with its teeth and claws. If the prey animal is large , the Tiger bites its throat to kill it; smaller prey is usually killed when the Tiger breaks its neck.
Unlike most members of the cat family, Tigers seem to enjoy water. They swim well and often soak in streams or pools to cool off. Some Tigers live in very cold parts like- India and Southeast Asia.
Tigers have been known to eat up to 60 pounds (27 kilograms) of meat in one night, but more often they consume about 12 pounds (5 kilograms) during a meal. It may take days for a tiger to finish eating its kill. The cat eats until it’s full, and then covers the carcass with leaves and dirt. When it’s hungry again, the tiger comes back to feed some more, until the meat is gone.
The whole species is endangered throughout its range. Tigers have been overhunted for their fur as well as for other body parts that many people use in traditional medicines. Tigers’ habitat has also dwindled seriously as humans have developed land for uses such as farming and logging.
FAST FACTS
The scientific name for the tiger is Panthera tigris.
There are five subspecies of tiger: Bengal, South China, Indochinese, Sumatran, and Siberian. Three subspecies of tiger—Caspian, Bali, and Javan—are extinct.Tigers that live in cold northern areas are usually bigger and heavier than those that live in tropical habitats.
No two tigers have exactly the same pattern of stripes.
A tiger retracts its claws as it walks, leaving no claw marks in its tracks.Tigers hunt at night; they can see well in the dark.
A tiger’s roar can be heard as far as two miles (three kilometers) away.
Tigers weigh from 240 to 500 pounds (109 to 227 kilograms); males are larger than females.
I think Tigers are amazing because of there beautiful colors , there amazing markings, and their beautiful sleek but strong physique.
A tigers tail can be up to around 1/3 of it’s own body length!
Horses are significantly called equines.Equines have been domesticated and bred by man for appoximatley 6000 years!

My favourite animal has to be a Giant African Land Snail. Here is my interesting fact: the snail has a body called a ‘foot’ and it eats from the foot! The Snail is a gastropod which means: gastro means eat and pod means food so it means eat foot!
I have 2 favouraite animals which our without a shadow of a doubt, the spectacular Polorbear and Snowlepoerd! The Polorbear: not just because of its cuteness,because of its unique way of life! My Polorbear fact:An adult male weighs around 350–680 kg (770–1,500 lb), while an adult female is about half that size. The stunning Snowleopord: because of its pure beauty . Fact:Snow leopards occupy alpine areas generally 3,350 and 6,700 metres (10,990 and 22,000 ft) above sea level in Central Asia.

My otherfavorite animal is a Leopard due to the fact its markings are so amazing. When they run they are so fast i just can’t belive how fast they are. Leopard print is one of my favorite pattens because it is really uniquie.I wish i had my own Leopard to keep and treat it like my best friend.
My other favorite animal is a koala because they are really really cute. They love to cuddle with people and like to eat bamboo also live in trees.Koalas are marsupials, related to kangaroo family. Most marsupials have pouches where the tiny newborns develop a new life. A koala mother usually gives birth to one joey (a baby Koala) at a time. A newborn koala is only the size of a jelly bean ,are how cute,. Called a joey, the baby is blind, naked, and earless. As soon as it’s born, this tiny creature makes its way from the birth canal to its mother’s pouch.Using the two well-developed senses it’s born with smell and touch along with its strong front legs and claws and an instinct that tells it which direction to head, the baby koala reaches the pouch. There it stays, safely tucked away, growing and developing for about seven months ( more than one).After a baby has been in the pouch for about six months, its mother begins to produce a special substance called pap.The joey feeds on this in addition to the milk it’s already getting. Pap comes from the mother’s intestines and contains bacteria that the joey needs to have in its own intestines so that it can digest an adult diet of eucalyptus leaves.The scientific name for the koala is Phascolarctos cinereus.
Koalas are marsupials; newborn koalas—called joeys—continue to develop in their mothers’ pouches.
Koalas have thick woolly fur that protects them from both heat and cold. It also acts like a raincoat.
I really wish i could have a koala soo I can snuggle up with it on the couch.
My favourite is Butterfly because they have beautiful colours on their wings.
The background color of the coat is tan and this can vary from very pale to quite dark. The head, neck and legs are covered in black spots, with more intricate markings, called “rosettes”, on the remainder of the body. Each rosette is made up of three or four black spots on the outside with a yellow-brown centere.

One of my other faourite animals is a elephant which rolls in the mud and sand to layer its skin to make sure they dont get sunburnt because, unlike us, the mammals dont have sun cream!
I have just thought of one more interesting animal fact: the alaskan blackfish freezes with the sea in winter,when the spring arrives and the ice melts it swims away! Moreover , the male elephants musky smell is so strong it could easily make you vomit! Did you know….when a horned toad is angry it squirts blood from its eyes? Yuck! Also, certain alligators survive the winter months by freezing their heads in ice and leaving their mouths and noses out to breath! More amazing facts coming up….a new born kangeroo is the same size as a coffee bean, crocodiles cry not due to sadness but to get rid of salt from their eyes. Thats why fake tears are called crocodle tears! I bet you didnt know that! A hippo can open its mouth wide enough to fit two small boys in their jaws! This is a fact about US actually: we eat around 430 bugs every year! grubs up!

Although I love Monkeys, they are very cheeky and naughty! Whilst I was at Monkey World (late last year), I met an orangutan, called Jack, who loved to climb and chase the gorillas around the aviary. Due to the fact that he likes to climb, he has extremely long arms which means that he can swing from tree to tree quickly and easily. Would you be able to do this? You probably could but not as quickly and as easily as Jack(an orangutan).
