The Daddy Long Legs Spider





When I was little I noticed that all my friends at nature-camp, thought these harmless spiders were harmful.   I have always known size never matters.( I should know considering my height)! Anyway. I usually see these spiders in damp areas. I also know they can walk upside-down or sideways. When these insects are about to lay eggs, they're behinds look like they have bubbles inside it. Obviously, daddy long legs are not just daddys. They also can be females. These ordinary house spiders, are really nothing to yell and scream about like you used to.

The Cow





My second favorite animal is 100% a cow.( My first is the moon jellyfish). I love cows because they're such kind, cute animals. I mostly see cows that are red, black,white and brown. Only females produce the yummy, creamy and perfect milk sitting on your table. That's because only females have utters. Baby cows are called calfs, and in my opinion they are super adorable. A popular habitat for cows is farms. Healthy cows eat fresh grass right from the ground. Most cows weigh about 600-1000 lbs. These big, amazing animals are soooooooooooooooooooo cool to learn about. Personally, I want to be a cow sitting in the sun of a beautiful farm. ''AHHHHHHHHHHHH.''

The Goldfinch




Birds are awesome animals, but they're not my favorite. My mom definitely disagrees with me and my opinion.This is her favorite bird, but she does not know as much as you would guess. She wishes she knew more about them. One thing she does know is that goldfinches live in the north-east part of America. Like most birds, they feed on worms and other insects. This picture is showing a male goldfinch, because females are brown and not as interesting. Since these are pretty rare birds, whenever  my mom or me see one, they make us feel happy.

The Raccoon



Just like me, many kids and adults have been through fears of the so-called "vicious" animal, The Raccoon. I was scared of this for I'd say about two years of my life. My shutters always had to be closed at night because there was a tree outside my window that had a whole family of raccoons living in it. That's how my fear started. These animals can commonly carry rabies. Their bites, if they have rabies, can be very dangerous. Rabies is a disease that an animal can get from a different animal that gives them a foamy mouth. This also can make raccoons crazy.They usually live in high trees, under trees, or in the ground. These animals, though, are nocturnal and are very intelligent. They usually eat mice, small birds, and bugs. Raccoons are really not as bad as they seem. If someone was to research about a raccoon itself, and put it into a piece of writing, I think that piece would interest a lot of people.

The Box Jellyfish



One of the most interesting animals to me is the Box Jellyfish. This animal is so cool and has awesome features. One reason why I love the box jellyfish and why it interests me is because all jellies have a bell-shaped body, with the exception of the Box Jellyfish which has a box-shaped body. This jelly also is extremely dangerous. The most dangerous of its kind is the Australian Sea Wasp or the Australian Box Jellyfish. This deadly sea creature can kill up to five humans. This animal also feeds on different animals than most jellies. Most jellyfish eat small fish or plankton, but this jellyfish will kill bigger things because it has so much venom in its sting. So if you ever see a jellyfish with a box-shaped body, there's only one thing that should go through your mind: FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF WHEREVER YOU ARE!
