Download or read book Rhino Itch written by Sarah Froggatt and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are five surviving species of rhinoceros: the Black, the Javan and the Sumatran rhinos are listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, meaning they could be extinct within 30-60 years. The Sumatran rhino is covered in a leathery, dark grey-brown skin. It is often called the “hairy rhino” because it has tufty reddish brown hair, unlike other rhinos. The Sumatran rhino is the only rhino in Asia that has two horns, however the smaller one never grows to more than about ten centimetres, which can make it look like it only has one horn. This rhino used to be found from the foothills of the Himalayas, through Eastern China right down to Peninsular Malaysia as well as the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo. However, today it is believed only about 200 rhinos survive mainly in parts of Sumatra and possibly Peninsula Malaysia. The Sumatran rhino lives in dense forests, swamps and forest highlands, staying close to water where they spend most of their day wallowing in muddy pools that they often dig or deepen themselves to keep them cool and protect them against insects. They like to eat in the evening and before dawn when it is cooler and live off up to 100 different types of fruit, bamboo, twigs, leaves and bark! Sumatran rhinos are rather shy, solitary animals staying within their own home range. The young usually stay with their mother until they are about 18 months old. Rhinos begin breeding when they are 7 or 8 years old, with a wait of 3 to 4 years between each birth. As the gestation period is about 15 to 16 months and not always successful, these animals are seriously at risk. The Sumatran rhino is the most endangered of all of the rhinoceros species, numbers have fallen more than 50% over the past 20 years, mainly because of poaching and habitat destruction. Rhino Protection Units help protect them and give this vulnerable species a chance at breeding and surviving. Further information about this gentle (if sometimes grumpy) animal can be found through ARKIVE: www.arkive.com and the International Rhino Foundation: www.rhinos.org.
Download or read book Jumbo written by Paul Chambers and published by Steerforth. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jumbo was a superstar of the Victorian era. Every day tens of thousands of people would visit this adored animal known as “the Children’s Pet” or, more simply, “the Giant Elephant,” at the London Zoo. When P.T. Barnum purchased him for his Greatest Show on Earth, Jumbo’s transport to the U.S. made headlines for weeks, and he was an instant sensation in America. His name entered our lexicon as an adjective for oversized things, and half a century after his death his still-famous and unrivalled popularity was the inspiration for Walt Disney’s Dumbo. But fame comes at a price and, like so many modern celebrities, Jumbo led a troubled private life that was far from idyllic. His best friend – a zookeeper named Matthew Scott, who remained by Jumbo’s side in Britain and the United States for twenty years – was moody and manipulative, and Jumbo himself attracted rumors of violent tantrums, a fondness for drink, and of a “wife” he left behind in order to make it big in America. From an eyewitness account of Jumbo’s capture in Africa after ivory hunters had killed his parents, to his early years at the Paris zoo where he was mistreated and regarded as a disappointing runt, to his stunning growth spurt in London where he became the largest elephant in captivity, to the “Jumbo craze” that swept across Britain and the United States, Paul Chambers utilizes new archival material in fully telling Jumbo’s story for the first time.

Teresa ran out of the school and down to the beach very fast, while Naomi and Melissa chaste after her, caught her up on the beach, and started teasing her. Melissa: look at her dorky hairstyle. Naomi: Yes, and her dorky brace, goofy teeth, and square clothes. They laughed at her and teased her and then grabbed her and throw her into the sea with all her clothes and schoolwork. The girls ran off. Teresa: Please help me I can't swim. But no one could hear her screaming. Until suddenly a mermaid rescued her and bought her back to shore and disappeared again. Teresa looked around confused as to how she managed to get back safely, she was dripping wet and cold and picked up her school stuff. Suddenly she saw a glowing within the caves that she thought was fire, so she went in to investigate. She thought I wonder what this strange but welcoming glow is. As she got into the caves she heard a voice, Who are you and what are you doing? Teresa: My name is Teresa and I have come in here to dry up and get warm. Suddenly a mirror appeared before her eyes and a spirit walked out. Spirit: I am the mirror's soul and I command you to look in the mirror. Teresa looked in the mirror and to her shock she was beautiful. Teresa: Oh, my Goodness I'm beautiful. Spirit: Yes, you are but not beautiful enough to be able to unlock the treasure yet. Teresa: Stop teasing me, there's no treasure and I'm not beautiful. She runs out all confused. A week later a new girl called Janice had moved into the street, her appearance was appalling to the eye; she had a big birth defect growing on her cheek. But she had a beautiful heart. That day Teresa went down to the beach and saw Melissa and Naomi picking on Janice. Teresa: what are you doing? Naomi: We are picking on this ugly-looking girl. Melissa: And if you join in, we promise we will leave you alone.
