Lost Mittens Found
The search for the lost mittens is now over. The three little kittens named Haley, Amanda, and Grace Cat lost their mittens on March 3rd at 12:30 P.M. The last time they saw their mittens was when they were playing outside in their backyard at 123 Yarn Lane with a ball of yarn when their mother, Maya Cat, called them in for pie. The pie was a huge messy cherry pie. The mittens were later found by one of the kittens who wishes to remain anonymous. The kitten said that she found the mittens next to a dirty plate covered in pie on March 18th at 11:23 A.M. The kittens later washed their dirty mittens and hung them up to dry.
Giant Pandas, The Majestic Animals
Giant Pandas are endangered animals, so I bet you don’t know a lot about them. Giant pandas live in China. They eat the shoots, stems, and leaves of bamboo plants. Pandas grab at bamboo using their fingers and “extra thumb”, a bone covered by a fleshy pad. The panda’s digestive system is inefficient so they can consume up to eighty five pounds of bamboo in a day! Pandas can grow to be five to six feet long and adults weigh about two hundred to three hundred pounds. Females give birth to new panda cubs every two to three years. The cutting down of trees for wood and farmland has destroyed a lot of the pandas habitat in China, so China has become to create wildlife corridors, continuous areas of wildlife that connects to large reserves. In conclusion, Giant Pandas are cool animals, but if we don't help they may not be here for very long.
