 Mammals can be herbivores or carnivores. Mammals have a lot of the same body parts as us humans do. A lot of mammals are endangered. Did you know that there was such a thing as a tree kangaroo? Most animals on the planet are mammals. Here are some examples of big, medium and small cats: African lion, snow leopard, Bengal tiger, jaguar, cheetah, Canada lynx and serval. Here are some examples of cows, sheep and goats: American bison, yak, mountain goat and Nubian ibex.

 

A platypus is the only mammal that lays eggs on the planet. There are more than a hundred species of tree squirrels. Most wolves are scared of humans. If they sense that a human is coming or nearby, it will run as fast as it could into a forest. Sloth bears run very fast and eat very fast. A sun bear is the smallest bear of the ursid family. Sun bears have very long tongues to pull termites and bees out of their nests and honey from bee hives. Giant pandas only eat bamboo. Female polar bears breed in the spring and give birth in the fall. A black bear’s main predator is a Sibearian tiger. Brown bears live in North America, Siberia and Europe.

Raccoons use their feet just like hands. Bamboo is a big part of a red panda’s diet. A South American Coatimundi scientific name is Nasua nasua. A Kinkajou scientific name is Potus falvus. A ring-tailed cat’s scientific name is Bassariscus astutus. A White-nosed coati is a part of the Procyonidae. A Northern olingo’s scientific name is Bassaricyon gabbai.

 

All mammals start off as an egg and start to grow in the uterus. When animals are born they are very small but, some animals are bigger than others when they get born. Some animals have pouches like for example koalas and kangaroos. All marsupials have pouches. The rest of the mammals don’t have pouches. For example humans, polar bears and dogs.

Innovation Day

Parade Float

 

Problem: Can I make a parade float that can travel 50 cm and hold 100g?

 

Hypothesis:I think that I could make a parade float that could travel 50cm and hold 100g.

 

Materials:

4 elastic bands

4 plastic golf balls

a lot of cardboard

cotton

paper

small blue plastic cup

2 thin light blue pipe cleaners

masking tape

Method:

First I drew a picture of what I wanted my float to look like. Next I got 1 piece of cardboard that was about 27cm long. Then I got two bamboo sticks and taped one to the bottom of the cardboard and the other one behind it. Next I took 4 plastic golf balls and slid them on the ends of the bamboo sticks and put pink elastics on the ends so the balls don’t fall off. Then I took a piece of cardboard and cut a piece that was 10cm and drew a dog on it. Next with the leftover cardboard I cut it to a piece that was 10cm and drew a bone on it. Then I put cotton below the bone and dog I drew. Next I cut out a balloon out of cardboard and wrote dog rule and puppies rule on it. Then I cut an oval out of cotton and got a blue little cup and glued it on the cotton. Next I took cardboard and cut it to a piece that would fit in the cup and drew a dog on it. Then I put cotton on the top of the cup and inside. Finally I took two thin light blue pipe cleaners and zigzagged them and taped them on each side of the parade float.

Results: My parade float ended up holding 100g and traveling 50cm of a ramp.

Koalas

Koalas

Koalas live in Australia. Koalas are marsupials. Koalas are solitary animals.  Koalas 🐨 eat eucalyptus leaves and spend most of the time munching on the leaves. How many hours do koalas sleep 💤 each day? Usually koalas sleep between 18 to 22 hours. There are fewer Koalas because their homes are getting destroyed. Koalas communicate by sniffing noses.                         

Baby koala and mommy koala

A baby koala is called a Joey. Did you know that the mommy koala has a pouch to carry her baby just like possums and kangaroos. A newborn koala looks like a pink jelly bean.  At about 5 or 6 months old, the baby koala crawls out of the pouch and takes a look at the world for the first time.  After the joey takes a look at the world the Joey climbs on to it’s mother’s back. The baby koala will stay on the mom’s back until the mom koala kicks it out of the house around the time he or she is about 1 year old. A male koala does not stay with the Joey koala, so a mommy koala has to do all the work to take care of the Joey koala.

 

Koalas habitats

Koalas habitats are in serious danger. In Australia, that’s where the most bushfires are. A lot of the animals died in the big bushfire in 2019. However, they saved a lot of koalas. There are a lot of bushfires in Australia, so the koalas habitats are getting destroyed.

Male koala

Male koalas have a brown spot on their chest. That is one of the ways to tell if it’s a boy or a girl. A male koala is called a buck. Two male koalas will fight in competition for a female. Females and young males have a plain white chest.

Green ants

Green ants are very bad. Green ants have venom inside them. The good thing is, they only live in Australia. The bad thing is, koalas live in Australia and the green ants cause them a lot of pain. First they make a bridge on to the koala, then they crawl up to the koala’s eyes then bite their eyes. It’s hard for them to see after. They need to take special medicine to heal them. Their eyes look a little green and red after the ants bite them. 

My koala craft

I remembered that I had a little koala stuffie. So I decided to make a craft. I found 2 broken pencils, I painted them brown, my dad made the top of them flat with his hand saw. Then I glued them to cardboard that I painted brown. I took green felt and used it as the tree leaves. The last thing I did was attach the koalas on. Here’s a picture.
