Ms. Y’s ACE:
Giraffes are the most amazing animal because of their spots. No two giraffes have patterns that are the same, their spots help keep them cool, and keep them camouflaged. I know this because the text states, “Just like human fingerprints, no two giraffes have the same pattern. Researchers who spend long enough studying the same giraffes eventually find that they can recognise dozens or even hundreds of individuals from their patterns.” Additionally, “It’s thought that the pattern on a giraffe doesn’t just serve to camouflage the animal, but also helps with temperature regulation too. The coloured skin patches can act to dissipate heat around the body, as the temperature of the skin is slightly higher in darker regions, facilitating the dilation of vessels beneath the skin’s surface.” This means that not only do the spots on giraffes make them look interesting, they are unique to each animal and they function to help keep the giraffe hidden from predators and cool. To connect to this, giraffes also have a nasal (nose) cooling system to keep their brain cool. (I have loved giraffes since I’ve been in kindergarten)
Ron and Olive come in second place:
I think lions are the most amazing animals because of the males mane. It is also easy to tell between a male lion and a female lion. I know this because, the text says, “ The male’s outstanding characteristic is his mane, which varies between different individuals and populations.” I cannot connect this to anything. But the difference between a male lion and a female lion is the males have manes and the females don’t. Jackson Ream

Dogs are the best animal because they make the bed warm at night. I know this because the text states, " They keep your bed warm when it gets warm at night." I can connect this to myself because i have a dog to his name is Wick and he is adorable he is about the size of a normal dog. My cousin and my aunt also have dogs named Riley, Zeus and, Hercules. 25 Reasons Dogs Are The Best Things On Earth - Care.com

ReplyDeleteA fox is my favorite animal which is why I chose the fox as my animal for this assignment.
Here are some facts about the fox. An Arctic Fox has the warmest coat of any Arctic animal. Foxes are also the only member of the dog family with claws like a cat.
C
I know these facts because animalhearted.com states, “but did you also know that it is the warmest coat of any Arctic animal...” This means the Arctic Fox has the warmest coat of any Arctic animal. And animalhearted.com also states, “The fox is the only member of the dog family to have retractable claws like a cat.”
E
These two reasons show how amazing the fox is, an Arctic Fox has the warmest coat of any Arctic animal and foxes are the only member of the dog family to have claws like a cat. With these two facts I hope you can see that a fox is the best animal ever! - Camryn Armstrong
The animal that I think is cute and amazing are cats.I think cats are amazing because they have amazing eye sight. I know this because the text states, “ Cats are crepuscular, meaning they are active at dawn and dusk. That might be why they need and have such good night vision.” I can connect this to an owl because they also have amazing night vision. In conclusion I think cats are amazing because they have amazing eye sight.
ReplyDeleteI got my information from https://www.livescience.com/40459-what-do-cats-see.html
DeleteThe animal I think is the most amazing is the ocelot. They're amazing because they can catch prey four times their size. They're also amazing because of their coat, they have a dark colored coat to help blend into the night. They have a great pattern used for camouflage. I know this because in the video "Home Safari-Ocelot Sihil-Cincinnati Zoo" it states," They do have the ability to catch prey that is up to four times their size...Whereas Ocelots always are going to look like this with lots of spots to be able to help them blend in, and a dark color that's really gonna help them blend in at night." Other abilities they have to catch prey are their big eyes and their whiskers. Their eyes are really big because they are nocturnal and help them see at night, their whiskers help them feel tiny movements and help them figure out places ti squeeze into without getting stuck.-Madiha

In my opinion cats are the most special animal. The reason cats are the most special animal is they always land on their feet. I know this because http://www.animalplanet.com/pets/why-do-cats-land-on-their-feet/ states, "His body reflectively corrects its course so that by the time he arrives on ground, his feet are in position to hit first." This can really help outdoor cats because if they fall off a roof they can catch them selves.
ReplyDeleteA dog is my favorite because dogs are playful and I am playful too.
ReplyDeleteDogs have soft fur and dogs can tell if you are sad or not. Also my dog sleeps in my room with me a lot. I love walking/running my dog

Deletei love dogs🐶💕
DeleteI made a mistake and now I will restart - Caleb
ReplyDeleteI think flamingo are cool because they eat organisms that turn them pink. I know this because the text states. " Flamingos eat algae and crustaceans that contain pigments called carotenoids. For the most part, these pigments are found in the brine shrimp and blue-green algae that the birds eat. Enzymes in the liver break down the carotenoids into the pink and orange pigment molecules that are absorbed by fats deposited in the feathers, bill, and legs of the flamingos." This example explains my answer because it explains why flamingos are pink and not a different color.

A: Dogs are my favorite animal because they can tell what your emotions are.
ReplyDeleteC: I know this because the website https://www.petcare. states " When a dog looks at your face, they aren't trying get your attention or beg for a treat. Sometimes, they are taking in your emotions.
E: the c means if you are felling sad your dog will most likely to make you fell better. I can connect this to me. Sometimes I get really mad and my dog makes me fell more happy. - Caleb

ReplyDeleteJaxon, this is supposed to be an ACE paragraph. -Ms. Y
ReplyDeleteI think that the axolotl is the most amazing animal. I think this because they can heal wounds very fast and that they can heal parts of their bodies that humans or other animals can't heal, like their brains.
ReplyDeleteAccording to "Why? Over 1,111 Answers to Everything" by National Geographic, "Conchs can regrow their eyes, starfish can sprout new limbs, and zebrafish can mend their muscles, but no animal matches the amazing regenerative abilities of the axolotl, a friendly-faced salamander that lurks in lakes near Mexico City. They can sprout lopped-off legs in a matter of months. Broken hearts and damaged brains grow back good as new."
What my quote means is the the axolotl can regrow parts of their bodies that other animals can't regrow, like their brains and hearts. I can connect this to certain worms (called the Planarians), if you cut them in half they will regenerate and the cut half will turn into another worm. Not a lot of animals can do that.
In my opinion cats are superior to all other animals because they know how to make sure that other animals can't find them because they hide their smell. I know this because livescience.com states "but cats can tell their waste apart from another's, thanks to unique chemical scent markers called pheromones. i can connect this to my three cats because they all hide their smell.
ReplyDeletesorry i love cats and that was the only thing i could think of
I love cats too
DeleteMy favorite animal is the megalodon because sharks are very cool and I would like to learn more about them when I read my articles about megalodon.
ReplyDeleteThe first reason why I like megalodons is because they are a best when they would swim, to get their pray. I know this because the text states, "a megalodon had a crushing speed of 11mph it's top speed was possibly 23mph as an endothermic shark, but it could possibly exceed 35mph of a great white when scaling up cruising speed."
This means the megalodon was a killer at catching his pray. He could not be killed at all, but later died of starvation because he ate all the sea animals that he can eat.
I wish megaldon's where still alive so I can see one in real life from far away that is.

A: My favorite animal is a cat because they are independent but they also are very cuddly and want to interact with you.
ReplyDeleteC: I know this because the text states, "Cats have developed a reputation as being independent and rather self-determined in the way they behave. However, cats still make great companions, and may suit people looking for more independent pets."
E: I can connect this to dogs because they also like having attention but they need more attention than cats. The C means that cats are very independent but they can be your greatest companion, too.

A: Bearded dragons are the most amazing animal's because of there beards and spikes. Bearded dragons use there spikes for defensive reasons such as predator's. When a Bearded dragon is in danger it will puff out it's chest and beard, raise it's chin, and open it's mouth to seem bigger and stronger.
ReplyDeleteC: I know this because the text states on National Geographic it say's, "When threatened a bearded dragon will open it;s mouth, raise it's chin, and puff out it's beard to make itself appear bigger."
E: So I can say Bearded dragons are the most amazing animal and pet. I can connect this to me because I have a bearded Dragon named Bruce Springsteen Spittles.

my favorite animal is the tiger because they are very cute and they are basically a bigger cat they are not mean but they are kind and the reason they are mean is because are felling threatened.the reason they are amazing is because that they always land on there feet and they have really fast reflexes and the tiger can run at 30 to 40 mph and the baby's are the cute's.
ReplyDeleteI can connect this to other big cats they all are nice but fell threatened.

A: In my opinion I think zebras are the most amazing animal because their stripes are very different from each other. Another reason why I think zebras are the most amazing animal is because their stripes also work as a natural sunscreen and
ReplyDeleteC: I know this because the text states,”The stripes may also make the zebra appear unattractive to small predators, such as bloodsucking horseflies, which can spread disease. In addition, the stripes may work as a natural sunscreen. Just as no two human fingerprints are alike , no two zebras have the same stripe pattern.”
E: This C means all zebras are different and their body function works differently too. I can connect to this because recently I read a passage in NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC where they gave amazing facts about zebras. The topic was about how zebras stripes change in warmer climates.

DeleteA: In my opinion I think Orangutans are the most amazing animals in the world. They are amazing because they are smart and are basically like a human that speaks a different language. And they are often even called “The men in the forest.”

I think that lions are the most amazing animal because of their roar. Their roar can be heard from up to eight miles away. The reason lions roar is usually to either find other lions, or to proclaim their territory. I know this because healthypets.com states, " A male lion’s roar can be heard from up to five miles away – the loudest roar of any big cat species. Their roar helps them find other lions as well as to proclaim their territory. A pride’s territory may include up to 100 square miles." I can connect this to dogs, who also sometimes bark to claim territory. This is just one of the reasons that lions are my favorite animal.

i think dolphins are the most amazing animal because, they help rescue other species like humans. i know this because the text stats, "Nautical lore is ripe with tales of dolphins helping humans in the high sea."

The most amazing animal in my opinion is the Dung Beetle because they roll a piece of poop into a ball and plop it into a burrow to lay eggs in. I Know this because according to "True Facts About The Dung Beetle" by Zfrank1 on youtube,"the female lays her eggs inside the dung-ball and then seals them up." I can connect this to wasps because some lay eggs in fruit.

Crocodiles are the best animals on planet earth. With their sharp teeth, they can pretty much attack anything. I know this because the text states, “salt water crocodiles have large teeth and the most bite force of any living animal.” Clearly, the crocodile is at the top of the food chain. The crocodile rules its rivers and lakes. I can connect this to myself because I saw a crocodile before, ever since then I’ve been afraid of its intimidation.

ReplyDeleteDogs, their amazing! Basic life fact. Its amazing what dogs can do because, let's say you are sad and if your dog is there, they can make you happy. The sense all your emotions. Also some dogs are trained to be emotionally support dogs. Dogs that are police dogs that will help law enforcement catch bad guys. Dogs that help blind people. That's why I think that dogs are amazing. My current dogs name is Siri and she is so silly but protetcive.

DeleteA: My favorite animal is a dog because they are smarter than you think they are.
ReplyDeleteC: I know this because the website www.petcarerx.com states, "After conducting a number of studies, Dr. Coren discovered that dogs can understand up to 250 words/gestures."
This C means that if you think dogs don't know what you are saying they actually do know 250 words that you say.
E:I can connect this to me and how I used to think my dog did not know what I was saying until i read that and now i know that th my dog knows 250 words that i say.
The animal that i think is the most amazing are Guinea pigs. They communicate in a series of squeaks, chirps and purrs (like mice birds and cats) :) I know this because the text states," . Guinea pigs communicate through a serious of squeaks,chirps and purrs." I can connect this to my two guinea pigs (Ginny and Tonks) always squeak purr and chirp.

ReplyDeleteC I think horses are intelligent because the states,"Compared to humans, some scientists have stated that horses possess the intelligence of a 3-year-old child. Also, most horses can recognize themselves in the mirror, understand human emotion, and learn complex tricks or commands."This means horses have the intelligence of a three year old.

DeleteIn my view, armadillo's are the most unique, and forgotten animal. I mean honestly, do you even know what a armadillo is without google? I'll wait. The armadillo is related to the sloth, but in my perspective, they are more defensive. Here's why- With there shell made out of bone, it can protect itself from almost all predators. It's trick is to role into a little ball, like a roly poly. (woodlice) Once done balling up, it checks for predators. If there are none, it goes on chilling. However, cars, bears, and bullets break the shell, invading the armadillos safe place. Oddly, armadillo is edible to eat in some areas along South America. The flavor is like a premium, or high quality pork. Armadillos are not endangered though. I learned my facts from "armadillo-online.org"
