First Draft.

The Calf's worst day ever.

Earlier on December, it was another beautiful sunny day on the African Savannah.  When my family started to migrate, I was happy to see my dad leading our herd like he was proud to be a king.  As we were walking near the lake the sun shines through the rippling water like it was a crystyle lake.  I felt lonely because I’m the only calf in the herd but my mother cheers me up, maybe i’ll get a brother or sister some day.  As I was walking I noticed that we were in Mutuna and Bungas lion territory but they weren't there so I carried on.  

When we were walking I felt nervous if Matuna and banga was really their, I see and smell danger coming a head, but suddenly my dad stopped then he yelled ‘’ Run!’’ I ran as fast as I could, zooming through the dust I looked behind me Matuna was charging after me I puffed and puffed.  I slipped and I fell into the lake as I slipped I was drowning but the lions were helping me out. I was disappointed when my parents left me I was heartbroken, but suddenly I hear a SNAP! Someone was grabbing my leg.  

I noticed that a crocodile was grabbing my leg,  I felt like my bones were gonna slip off and crumble into pieces, luckily I was helped out by the lions.  At first I thought I was gonna be killed because Bunga said ‘’ Hakuna matata calf, every thing will be all ok’’ he was talking in a bad way. I shivered so much tears were coming down I couldn't handle it. When I looked around me I saw my whole herd coming this way, they kicked off all the lions and I was saved YEY!

What I learnt at Orana Wilde life Park.

Yesterday was amazing  at Orana park.  I went with my classroom Ako- Ngatahi.  I had fun and our teacher Petra was guiding us and telling us about the animals and their adaptations.  My favourite animal are meerkats .  

I’ve learnt that meerkats have a special sight,  so when they are digging holes underground they have these special glass things to cover their eyes from the sand.

Also I’ve learnt that when kiwis lay their eggs,   the baby kiwi comes out of the egg with feathers.

I didn’t know that geckos tails can rip off and grow again but they only do that if they're in danger like if a cat got its tail it could rip off.

Did you know that gorillas weigh 200 kilograms wow!

Hey you! When gibbons are 6 years old they have to move to Australia really sad right .
