Do you know Antractica is one of the coldest places on Earth? There are lives alot of Atratic animals. There are very cute and cool!! I will introduse some of them in the book. The first animal is Seals, they have layers of fat that help keep out the cold as they swim under the ice, looking food. I love Penguins because they are cute and small!! They cannot fly, but they can swim well. And there are many sea birds in Antarctic. I have interested to the animals during I have read this book.

I was very surprised that all the animals that live in Antractica need one another for food. I think that it is very cruel things, but that's the way it goes.

Big Difference I Thought That Before



This story is non-fiction. Why I choose this book? Because I have interested in death of the dinosaur. I have a class of biology the other day. I saw a movie about death of the dinosaur and how they were born or died.
