Tasmanian Devil

by 

Alayna Jordan

I move fast on my feet and on my hands.

Nobody can catch me, nobody can.

I am stocky and stinky with thick black fur.

I eat kangaroos, wombats, or whatever I 

prefer.

On the island of Tasmania in Australia is 

where I live.  

I am thankful for the 

gift they decided to 

give.

I was declared 

endangered in 2008.

That means that I 

am now protected by 

the state.

Crocodile

by

James “Ben” Schmiedicke

I am a crocodile 

with a toothy grin and a tricky smile.

You won't see me as I hide in the night.

When I find my prey, I snap and bite.                       

 I can munch.                                

 I can crunch.

I have a lot of teeth and an evil frown.

My color is green and brown.

I look like a dragon with a long tail.

My tail may leave a watery trail.

You just might see me if you look carefully 

near a swamp.

DO NOT come near me or else I will give you 

a CHOMP!!!!

I'm a Gecko

by 

Brian Johnson

If you like lizards, you’ll like me.

I live in the desert, that’s home to me.

I can change colors to any color I 

want to be. 

I’m a gecko, you see.

Badger

by

Christopher McSwain

You may know me by my 

friends and family.

We all have short legs and fat bodies. 

I am kin to skunks, wolverines, 

weasels, and polecats.

I am also known as a ferret.

Check out my gray body, 

small ears, short tail, and black face.

The white mark on my forehead 

has a badge-like shape.

I am found in much of North America, Ireland, Great 

Britain, and Japan.

You can also find me in Scandinavia, China, Malaysia, 

and Turkmenistan. 

Wise Owl

by 

Daijah Beasley

Whoo, Whoo?!

I can fly in the sky.

Whoo, Whoo?!

I like the night, but not daylight.  

Whoo, Whoo!

It’s no surprise that I am wise.

Whoo, Whoo?!

SHREW

By

Elle Clay

I’m gray and black,

And blind as a bat.

I’m as round as a ball. 

Don’t judge me at all.

Not a rodent but close to moles,

You know the moles that dig holes.

I live underneath the ground,

Where I am safe and sound.

 I have sharp teeth,

But I don’t eat meat.

I’m small,

But mighty, no doubt at all.

I shoot venom out of my teeth.

My predators better retreat.

 I eat insects, worms, and other shrews

Watch me because I may come after you!

  Horseshoe Crab

 by 

Jeffery “Gage” Sealey

 I'm a horseshoe crab but not a crab, it's 

true.

I have a smaller cousin, he's a scorpion 

dude.

Nine eyes, ten legs, and a sharp pointy 

tail,

I really love to swim in my round, brown 

shell.

Yummy clams and worms, shrimp meat is 

sweet,

I have no teeth so my legs help me 

eat.

I crawl in the sand when I'm up on the 

shore.

I swim upside down and live on the ocean 

floor.

I Am A Deer Mouse!

by

Isabella Crownover

I am very small,

not really tall

at all.

Watch out for me,

because I may carry a disease.

I’m brown and white.

I like the night.

RIVER OTTER

by

Jabari Ford

I paddle through the water with my feet.

I move so fast I can’t be beat.

I’m kind of an oval shape.

And I work the river and it is great.

I eat clam meat and fish.

It keeps me full and that’s my wish.

I tend to live in the water down below.

Swimming, jumping, catching fish, putting on a show.

My worst fear is the crocs so I stay away.

So don’t try to find me at day.

Skunk

By

Jada Yates

Don’t mess with me or I’ll spray from behind.

And, that awful smell is sure to 

BLOW

YOUR

MIND!

My thick fur you’ll notice because of the white stripe 

down my back.

The rest of my fur is mostly black.

I sometimes live in settled neighborhoods, 

where garbage cans are great for leftover goods.  

Out in the wild, I eat lots of animals, plants, and insects.

Honeybees, earthworms, and frogs are just perfect.

I live outdoors which can be cold in the night.

I do not like to see light.

Hedgehog, Hedgehog

by 

Jarah Edwards

Like the porcupine, I am prickly.

And I can roll myself into a ball.

These two traits help me to be safe 

When a wolf, a mongoose, or fox comes 

to call.

I eat mostly snakes and snails, and frogs 

and toads,

And insects because I am small.

Luna Moth

by

Joslyn Bates

I eat from many different 

trees.

I like pecan, walnut, and 

sweet gum leaves. 

My eggs are brown, but I 

am green,

with beautiful, 4-inch 

wings.
