Polar Bear

                                    The Polar Bear

  Polar Bears roam ice sheets and swim
in coastal waters. Their feet are very large and slightly webbed,
allowing them to swim long distances
 In fact, some polar bears have been
seen swimming hundreds of miles,
although some of that was
probably covered by
floating on a sheet of ice.
Polar Bears live in one of the
coldest environments on
Earth.                                                                                                               Type: Mammal

Think Before You do

Author's quick Note:

      Many people don't notice what's happening. Animals have been going extinct for as long as time began, but today people don't realize that we are the problem. Of course there is global warming and other things but, humans are the biggest threat to animals. Some of the most distinct and extraordinary animals have left us in the last century. Poachers go after animals with beautifully patterned fur or skin. They also go after materials and items such as an elephants tusk, which is made of ivory. Poaching is illegal. Even if you pay to do it you could still go to jail if someone caught you. Think before you do.

Eggs!

                                                Eggs

Welcome to my first blog post. Today I will be giving out some facts I have collected during the past couple of days.

• The Mid-summer female coral snakes lay 3-12 eggs at a time
• Unlike eggs that harden after laying, coral snake eggs are soft and leathery
• Coral snake eggs hatch about 2-3 months after being laid
• Mother King Penguins lay one egg at a time
• King Penguin eggs hatch about 55 days after being laid
• Instead of building nest for their young like most birds do, Kind Penguins keep their eggs propped between their belly and feet
• Female robins lay 3-5 eggs at a time
• Robin chicks leave the nest about 2 weeks after hatching
• Robin eggs hatch about 2 weeks after being laid
