Monitors live in Africa, Asia, Austrailla, and the Pacific Islands. They can be very small, 8 inches [20cm]. Monitors have quite thick skin and tails used for whipping. Their tongues fly out of their mouthes so they can taste the air for air for chemical signals. Those signals tell them where there is food, possible female monitor "mate", or predators. A related lizard to the monitor is the Lacterid. The crocodile monitor is very active at night and spends most of it's time in water.

The animal world
The animal world is a magnificent place. There are many different creatures beyond our knowings. There are some groups called marsupials and monotremes. Some animals in the marsupial group are Patagonian opossom, Robinsons mouse opossom, a yapok a water opossom and much more. Some animals in the monotreme group are Short Haired Echidna, Platypus, Long Nosed Echidna and much more.
When you step outside you are in the aniamal world! I hope you respect the animal world.

Kangaroos
Kangaroos are a part of the marsupial group. They are found in Austraillia, Tasmania, and New Guinea. They have powerful hind legs made for hopping and leaping. They have long muscular tails. The hind legs are also to kick and give good blows during a kangaroo fight, the kangaroo stands on its long tail during a fight. The baby kangaroo is called a Joey. It takes about six months for the baby to be born. Kangaroos feed on grass and other vegetation.
PENGUINS!
The emperor penguin is the largest penguin of the penguin family. Their size is 1.2m [4 feet] tall. They live by the ocean on packs of ice.
The female lays 1 egg and then returns to the sea. These penguins never actually go on land they almost always stay on packs of ice. The male holds the egg between his feet and it is covered by a flap of skin and feathers. The males hurtle together while their mate is gone catching fish to keep warm. When the chick is born the father watches it until the mom gets back. When the mom gets back she feeds it by pukeing in its mouth. They then both take care of the chick.

Littering is bad
These animals are dying because some people litter. When the animals see the litter they think it is food, so they go and eat it. When they go and try to eat it, it gets stuck in their throat and can't breath. So you should not litter it harms every animal and the enviroment. That is why you shouldn't litter.
Belugas
Belugas usually live in the arctic seas. When it is winter and the ice gets thick on the water and the belugas can't break it and they die because they can't breath. Belugas usually have a school of a dozen belugas to swim around with. Their enemy is the killer whale, one of the fiersest animals in the sea! Fishermen fish for belugas because of their thick skin. Baby belugas are in the mom's belly for one year. When the baby comes out it is tail first. After the baby is born the mom mates again.

Animals
Don't you think we should just think about how the animals feel about different situations. Try to pretend that you are the animals and think about how you would feel about how all the people ruins your animal home. You might not see owls for example, in thier hole but if you see a hole leave it alone. Have you ever seen the movie Hoot, well they are big heroes. Try to be like the characters in Hoot.

Testing Animals
Have you ever seen the movie Planet of the Apes? In this movie they test medicines, assesories, and anything humans need to make them happy. It is not just in this movie it is in the real world. We need to fight for theses animals because it is wrong to do this to animals just to make us happy.
Animals Freedom
The reason I am writing this is so I can talk about animals freedom. Animals play a very important role in our world. They give us meat to eat and sometimes they just keep us company and make us happy. We really shouldn't litter the ground because that is hurting animals and the enviroment. Do you want to know why it harms the animals and enviroment? Well sometimes bugs go in soda cans for example, and then they eat something they shouldn't and they die. The animals eat something and it chokes or gets really sick and die. That is why I want to gather up saving animal teams and just let the animals be wild and free.
