Raptors!!!!

Raptors are predatory birds.  They hunt using surprise and swoop down on their prey.  They grasp it with their sharp talons.  Then they soar back up into the sky and land on their nest.  Most raptors hunt by day, but others like owls hunt at night.  Some owls have completely silent wings, while other raptors can glide for miles over the seas. 

I'm gonna get you!
Woohoooo!
Shhhhh....

Book Review: 101 Freaky Animals

Bush Babies have a call like a human baby.  It would be freaky at night if you were in your house and you heard a crying sound coming from outside.  You opened the door and looked up and a bush baby was calling to it's mother.  That is just one of the 101 freakiest animals in the book 101 Freaky Animals.

Whaaaaaa!!!!
Okapi's tongues are wacky when it comes to length.  They reach up to a foot long!  Their tongues can even lick their eyeballs.

Sluuuurp!
Pangolins are the only mammals with scales.  The can roll in to a ball when threatened.

I'm thirsty.
Uh-oh!  Trouble!

Shoebills have ginormous beaks for grabbing slippery prey.  Their beak is so big they seem like a video game monster.

Please do not wear my beak on your foot!
