Animal Wonders
When penguins go in the water they lay down and
slide in like its a water slide but they can
only do this when there is ice or snow. When they
slide it is called tobogganing (tuh-bog-uhn-ing).
Penguins are very amazing animals. Penguins live
on land in groups. These groups are called
rookeries (Roo-ker-Es). The largest rookeries
have over a 1,000,000 penguins and are louder
than a crowd at football games.

Adelie penguins get out of the water by swimming
very fast under water and shooting out of the air
like rockets.

LEMURS
Its true!

• Lemurs are small, furry, cat-looking animals,
  except with a much longer tail.
• Experts think they came from Africa.
• 160,000,000 years ago the land that they lived on
  broke off and floated 500 miles away and became
  Madagascar.

The word lemur comes from the Latin language
meaning ghost or spirit of the night because of
their reflective eyes and wailing cries.

The weedy sea dragon
At birth the male weedy sea dragon carries the
egg. Only a few species of animals do this.

The oyster toadfish
The oyster toadfish, also known as the oyster
cracker, got that name from what it eats and how
it eats it. The oyster cracker eats oysters and
breaks their shells. The fish uses its sharp
teeth and extremely strong jaws.
