Shark report

The Great White Shark is the most feared sea animal.

The shark favours seals and fish in its diet.

The shark approaches its pray and starts to go around and around its prey so it so it has no where to go then SNAP the shark attacks with a mighty bite.

The shark has gills,fins,dorsal fin and skin like sand paper. the The shark has a powerful tall but the shark can not swim back wades. Sharks have four rows of teeth so if one comes out anther comes in its place.

There are many people how kill sharks for shark fin soup,necklaces and monuments.

Allot of sharks get killed from lost nets and habitat loss.

If to many sharks are killed there will be a dramatic change in the food chain. By luke otley

The amazing shark

The shark is one of the most feared sea creatures around the world but yet you are more likely to die from Christmas lights than to be gobbled up by a shark. The shark favors a big open space with a hole lot of food like fish , seal , penguins , young octopus and young squid. The shark uses its keen sense of smell to smell blood from kilometers away. Its bones are made out of the stuff in our nose and ears called cartilage the shark is a carnivore and is almost at the top of the food chain. The shark has gills on each side of its body used to collect oxygen from the water the shark has lots of fins around its hole body but has no function to swim backwards. The sharks eyes are based on the top of its head and cannot see under itself.

nowadays the human race has been wreaking their habitats and decreasing their food supplies and now the population of the sharks is going down for these reasons oil leaks and pollution , unnecessarily killing , fish nets and using parts of sharks for souvenirs or jewelry

A Penguin's Life

It was a fine summers day in Antarctica. I'm walking around with my friends. all of our stomachs are rumbling like mad. It's nearly dawn,It;s getting windier. It's never safe to eat,but we all made a decision...

We all waddled up onto an ice hill as slow as a snail. We were all nervous. One by one, we all slid down the ice hill on our stomaches and splashed into the icy waters below.

Then suddenly, I see a delicious , juicy squid. But the squid lets out a big , black cloud of ink. I went back up to the surface for a breath, then I see my dearest friends feathers and blood scattered all over the white ice. NO. It can''t be happening. I'm not hungry anymore.By Charlin

I dove back into the sea to get away from all the madness. I silently swam up behind a squid. Bam! It's all mine! I float back up for a breathe. I see my partner and my chicks waiting for me.I gave them the squid, and lay on the ground, to tired to move. We all watched as the beautiful sunset filled the sky.

It was a cold winter morning in Antarctica the cold wind was blowing though my feathers .

I was chatting to my friends about a swimming race we were talking so loud it sounded like 10

people were playing the bag-pipes in one small room .

We all got up and waddled to the fishing hole soon we reached the fishing hole then suddenly my mate pushed me in "SPLASH" I swam up to the surface and everyone was laughing at me .

I said " come on guys come in" "no" They said so I dived back in then I saw a school of fish so I started to swim like a torpedo after them then suddenly my eyes widend I saw a orca so I shot away but smack I shot in to a leopard seal I closed my eyes and then I felt my tummy getting bit it was the seal I opened my eyes I was flying up to the clouds to a better home

PENGUIN POWER

It was an early summers day in Antarctica I was chatting away to my mates and sniffing the misty morning air, in the distance i saw some icebergs rocking away. My mates were discussing why the females get to eat first all the time. I was just relaxing while i was listening to the peace and tranquility of the vast nothingness.

"ooohh" look some tasty fish this day just got better, caught one, two , three fish ! "lets go back and relax" but something was on my iceberg, it was a large rock, wait a minute it wasn't there when i dove in was it? thats weird like a penguin trying to eat a Kina. It started to move oh no i have a woken a sleeping giant.

Suddenly the camouflaged rocks begin move and started to surround me. They crept closer and closer. I was starting to get scared looking up at the seal's razor sharp fangs dripping with other penguins blood. Then as it came almost to an end I remembered the jump my friends and I had been building, I leapt for the takeoff and soon realized that I hadn't build the rest of the slide, as quick as lightening i flew down the track and jumped off the ramp out into the air like a bee, a plane, a bird (not a penguin of course) and Bellyflopped to safety in the icy water.

3,2,1 GO

I'm perched on a rock, gazzing into the crystal clear water. Watching the fish swimming around in circles makes me hungry! The warm wind is rustling through my feathers.

I count before I dive, 3,2,1 and i dive into the water like an olympic swimmer, my tummy rumbling. Then I catch my eye on the fish again. "The water is lovely and warm" I said to myself.

I zoomed after the fish, one right in front of me, I quickly snap my beak shut, but I just missed him, and he racers down into a little rock hole. "Darnet my lunch is gone".

My catches on another school of salmon, i race after them, I catch one them. "Yum" Then a massive shadow surrounds me it feels like night time. "Arh" the sharks got me.
