Platypus

The platypus is among nature's most unlikely animals. In fact, the first scientists to examine a specimen believed they were the victims of a hoax. The animal is best described as a hodgepodge of more familiar species: the duck (bill and webbed feet), beaver (tail), and otter (body and fur). Males are also poisonous. They have sharp stingers on the heels of their rear feet and can use them to deliver a strong toxic blow to any foe.Platypuses hunt underwater, where they swim gracefully by paddling with their front webbed feet and steering with their hind feet and beaverlike tail. Folds of skin cover their eyes and ears to prevent water from entering, and the nostrils close with a watertight seal. In this posture, a platypus can remain submerged for a minute or two and employ its sensitive bill to find food.These Australian mammals are bottom feeders. They scoop up insects and larvae, shellfish, and worms in their bill along with bits of gravel and mud from the bottom. All this material is stored in cheek pouches and, at the surface, mashed for consumption. Platypuses do not have teeth, so the bits of gravel help them to "chew" their meal.On land, platypuses move a bit more awkwardly. However, the webbing on their feet retracts to expose individual nails and allow the creatures to run. Platypuses use their nails and feet to construct dirt burrows at the water's edge.Platypus reproduction is nearly unique. It is one of only two mammals (the echidna is the other) that lay eggs.Females seal themselves inside one of the burrow's chambers to lay their eggs. A mother typically produces one or two eggs and keeps them warm by holding them between her body and her tail. The eggs hatch in about ten days, but platypus infants are the size of lima beans and totally helpless. Females nurse their young for three to four months until the babies can swim on their own.

The Tiger Rising

I just finished a book called The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo. It's about a boy named Rob who lost his mother to cancer, and lives in a motel with his father. When his school bus arrives one morning there is a new girl named Sistine ( after the Sistine chapel ). She doesn't look very nice until he gets to know her. One day Rob was walking through the woods when he discovers a tiger in a cage! Through the process of taking care of the tiger Sistine and Rob's friendship grows stronger every day.

Three thing I learned from reading this book-

1. Working together can make a friendship grow stronger.

2. I learned about the Sistine chapel and its artwork by Michelangelo.

3. First impressions may not be accurate.

Family Time

Family time can be lots of fun and games, but some family time can just mean being together. On New Years Eve my family got to spend a lot of time together. We played games, and watched some tv, and then we watched the ball drop! We all had fun. Between school and reading my Dad has been very busy, but I understand. We don'tget to have a lot of family time, so Christmas brake was nice for all us. We went up to Ohio for Christmas and spent some time with my Grandma and Aunt Shelly, so we had a lot of family time. The last time we went up to Ohio was when my Grandpa had past away. That was our first Christmas without my Grandpa and I know we all miss him but he is with Jesus now and he is not in any more pain. It was hard but we still had a GREAT time. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
