animals
I am interested in this site, because I like animals except snakes, and frogs and something. This site has many animals’ pictures, for example polar bears, many kind of penguins, foxes, tigers, sharks, seals and many kind of birds, and you can see many animals around the world in this site.

This site has world on the Movie. This site says that there are the latest reports from our worldwide legion of correspondents, scientists and amateur naturalists. Do you know Simon King on the Masai Mara? If you want to know the world on the movie gives us some information of it, also you can get some pictures about it. Not only Simon King but also other animals you can know through on this site. It is good point that you can watch some movies about animals.
This site has eight parts of animal, Planet Earth, Birds, Mammals, UK wildlife, sea life, wild facts, conservation, and pets. I recommend pets' part. Would you like to find out all your pet's ancestry? There are 13 species pets, and I found that each parts has each pets' history, life span, distribution and habitat in the wild and behavior in the wild. It is helpful to understand, if you want to have pets.
There are many things of animals. Please let me give you information of some animals. Mammal is different shape, for example, a dolphin looks very different from an elephant, and some mammal can swim or fly. The beginning of every mammal is special. Because mammals feed their young on milk until they are nearly adult-sized, their young don’t have to be able to move around and feed themselves. This mean that they have quite a long time in which they can grow up and develop specialised adult features. All these specialized ways of living are only possible because the young don’t have to be able to fend for themselves straight away. If you go to the UK wild life, and you go to nature near you, there is British map and separate from England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Channel Island. And if you point at the tag, you will be able to see something. It is very good to know about British.
I think this site is very good and if you see animals’ pictures your feeling is better than before.

She wanted to go somewhere, but mother denied it. She painted a picture of the rain, all in purple. She likes purple. She tried some purple paint on her wall. It looked so nice that she painted a great big purple rain cloud. Mother was angry because Amanda painted on the wall.
For lunch mother made tomato soup. Also Amanda wanted to eat peanut butter. After lunch Amanda built a skyscraper, but it fell down, and she dressed up like a fancy lady, but mother said “is that my lipstick you are using?” Amanda answered “It is sad mad day”. She went into the living room and started dance, and she broken the lamp toppled. Mother said “that was my best lamp.” Amanda yelled that she didn’t care. Mother yelled back “well I do”. Then suddenly she stopped. She picked up Amanda and carried her to the big chair and hugged her, because she tried to stroke her. Mother told her “everyone has a bad day now and then.” Amanda said “I am glad I am here with you on my bad day.” Mother hugged Amanda some more. “Are you feeling better yet?” mother asked, and Amanda said “A little.” “Keep going.” Then they kept on hugging until the bad sad mad day went away.
This story makes me warm. When I was a child and had a bad sad mad day, my mother hugged me that way. I was getting fine. I remember that when I was reading this book.
