pearlfish

The Humble Sea Cucumber - Atmosphere Resorts & Spa
In 1975, Victor Benno Meyer-Rochow was diving off the Banda Islands in Indonesia, when he collected a leopard sea cucumber—a cylindrical relative of starfish and sea urchins. It was a large and stubby specimen, 40 centimetres long (16 inches) and 14 centimetres wide. He dropped it in a bucket of water, which he placed in a refrigerated room.   Sometime later, a slender, eel-like fish swam out of the sea cucumber’s anus.It was a star pearlfish, and it wasn’t alone. Another wriggled out. And another. After ten hours, 14 pearlfish had evacuated the animal’s bum, each between 10 and 16 centimetres long. Another one stayed inside.

my summarizes paragraph.
This is the pearlfish but I like to call it the anus fish because its defense is that it swims up the anus of a sea cucumber

my summary of dennis grover poem the magpies

here my summary of Dennis Glover poem ‘The Magpies’ for English 

When Tom and Elizabeth took the farm

The bracken made their bed

Tom’s hand was strong to the plow

and Elizabeth’s lips were red

Year in year out they worked

while the pines grew overhead

But all the beautiful crops soon went

to the mortgage man instead

Elizabeth is dead now 

Old Tom’s gone light in the head

The farm’s still there. Mortgage 

couldn’t give it away

Oasis the ostrich

                  Oasis the ostrich 


what is the lifespan of an ostrich: 50 to 75 years
how fast can an ostrich run: 70 km/h
can it fly: no Their puny wings can't possibly lift their heavy bodies off the ground
what animal group does an ostrich belong to Struthio camelus
what is the fear of ostrich: Strouthokamelophobia

the reason I chose the ostrich as my mascot is because the bird is 1 of the only bird that can not fly that means it had to evolve itself to adapt to not be able to fly making it the fast-running bird on the world.
