Our groups turtle writing

Paragraph one

An adult sea turtle from the late Jurassic period, which was 150 000 000 years ago, climbs up a beach to lay 50 to 200 ping pong sized eggs. First she digs a huge hole, so that she can lay the eggs. Sadly, in theory, 20% don’t hatch.

Paragraph two

After 6 weeks, 800 leathery eggs hatch. The baby sea turtles are so small, they can fit in the palm of your hand. Then they start to crawl towards the water. Only 50% make it, because of the crabs and birds. Once they’re in the water, their next problem are big fish and whales.

Paragraph Three

As the recently hatched sea turtles slide into the water, new animals are after them. This includes different types of fish, sharks, dolphins and also whales. They are extremely cautious as they swim up to the surface to take a breath of fresh air. After a few months of swimming in the ocean, the sea turtles group together under a slimy patch of seaweed for shelter from their hunters. After a passage of years, the survivors increase their size. Roughly 50% of the sea turtles that made it into the water would perish. After a long time, the sea turtles are old enough to come to the surface to breed. 20% make it to the breeding age without human interference, and only 2 survive to breeding age with human interference.  

Conclusion

They have been living for as long as 150 million years, since the late Jurassic, which is amazing. It was thought to be a long shot, but it’s instead a miracle.

What if it rained everyday?

If it rained everyday, there would be good things and bad things.

Yellow Hat:

The good things about rain are that plants and flowers would get LOTS of water. (Maybe too much water). It would also help the farmers with their crops and things,

Dear Zoo Keeper

I am writing to offer my opinion about the enclosure

that I am kept in.

First, I would like to tell you that I am happy that the dirt on the ground of my enclosure matches my fur, other than my black spots. I also want to tell you that

I love my hut because other than that, I have no shelter. I really like my ditch at the front of my habitat because I can hide in it easily. There are also plenty of bushes for me to sunbathe behind, so I thank you greatly for that.

But of course, there are the bad things about my enclosure. The first bad thing is that other than the hut that I have, I have no other shelter, so I have to make a run for it when it starts to rain. It’s also usually very noisy at the front of my enclosure. That ditch that I mentioned before is also sometimes a nuisance, because it’s actually not very wide, but it is quite long, so I have to squish myself in every time I go into it. The last bad thing is that I would quite like some trees in my habitat because I only have bushes.

I appreciate you very much for caring for all my needs.

Lots of love

Spotty (it’s the Serval cat)
