Bird 2

This bird I saw the other day was called a grey headed robin. This bird was unusual because most robins are bright colors like red or yellow and this one was grey and brown. It was a small bird compared to some of the other birds in the rainforest. This bird mostly eats worms and other small insects that it can chew up. Larger animals like big cats and large reptiles like pythons and anacondas prey upon these birds. These robins young are called chicks and usually hatch around 6 at one time. This bird was pretty amazing with its calls and the noises it made sometimes.

Insect 2

While my family and I were going out for a swim in the local pond I came upon a giant huntsman spider on a rock I climbed on. This spider was very big and brown and was very flat to the rock. It had very long legs and looked like it was really fast. I learned this spider Doesn't make webs which enables it to chase down it's prey and catch it. I learned that their diet mainly consists of insects and small animals that it can handle. Larger animals like panthers and large snakes like pythons are the treats to this spider. I don't really like spiders so I'm going to try to stay away from these big things.

Bird 1

One night while I was sleeping I kept on hearing a bird outside our house probably calling for a mate. This bird looked similar to a parrot but I could tell it wasn't one. It was red, blue, and black and was a decent sized bird. I found out it was called a crimson rosella and was a common bird in the Australian rainforest. I found out that it mainly eats seeds from herbs and small trees. I also learned that these birds are known to be threatened by cats, dogs, and small foxes. The young of these birds are in groups called juveniles which is the flock of the birds. I thought this bird was interesting with the way it did stuff but it was kinda loud with it's calling for a mate time at night.

Mammal 2

I was walking through the rainforest and out of the corner of my eye I saw a small animal flying right at me. It flew right over my head and landed on a tree to the right of me. It looked like A small possum that could fly! It was a pretty neat looking animal and I liked it. I found out it was called a sugar glider and lives in mainly Australia and also a couple islands around Indonesia. These animals are nocturnal so they sleep mainly through the day and sleep at night. These animals are a tan color, have a bushy tail, and have blue eyes. Larger animals like panthers and reptiles like pythons and anacondas eat these animals. The sugar glider eats mostly plants and small bugs. The babies are called joeys and usually have two at a time when they're born.

Mammal 1

While my family and I were walking through the rainforest we came upon a strange animal that looked between a bear and kangaroo. It was brown and orange and was a good size animal. It liked to jump and swing around the branches of the trees. It was eating mainly leaves and fruits and drank the water off the leaves of the trees. We could tell it was a slower animal because of it's tail and the weight of it. It was an interesting animal and I'm looking forward to seeing one again.

Insect 1

This giant bug I found is a passalid beetle that lives in the rainforest. These bugs are usually found in wet tropical and subtropical areas and they like to feed on decaying wood. When I saw the beetle I wanted to see how big it was and it was about as big as the palm of my hand.I could tell where they had been because of the saw dust at the bottom of the log. Everyone of them I've seen have been black and all the same size.

Transportation Facts

One of the ways I'm going to travel is by boat. I'm going to travel by boat from Denmark across the ocean to Russia and then from Russia around Asia all the way to Australia. The boat me and my family are going to be using is made from mostly wood and some metal. The transportation will be slow but it will get us to where we want to go. It will probably take us two who days to row all the way around Asia to Australia but we will eventually get there. The ride will be cold and rough but enable for us to get to a warm place we need to stick through it. The best part of the ride will probably be the scenery and the worst will probably be the cold weather around Russia and Asia.
