SHARKS!
By Will Gretzinger
Why are sharks so interesting? The first sharks lived more than 350million years ago. Mostly every shark likes to hunt alone but the hammerhead shark likes to hunt together. Some sharks died long ago and some hard parts like its teeth and scales turned into rock. The common thresher sharks tail is longer than
its body. Sharks have a skeleton but no bones. A tiger shark once ate a drum called a tom-tom. That’s why sharks are so interesting.
Humpback Whale
By;Logan Grace Preul
What do Humpback Whales look like? Humpback Whales are mammals. They have long tails that help them swim very fast. They have blowholes that help them breath when they come up for air. They don’t have teeth, they have baleen. They can’t smell but they can taste and hear. They have ears but you just can’t see them. A baby Humpback Whale weighs as much as a large station wagon. An adult Humpback Whale is 62 feet long and weighs 53 tons. Their throats have many grooves that look like stripes. They could live a long time, they can survive 30 years or more. Barnacles often grow on their bodies. When they are underwater they look like they are floating. It’s fun to learn about Humpback Whales!
