A jaguar gets it’s name from the Native American word yaguar. Yaguar means “he who kills with one leap.” Another name for jaguar is leopard. Jaguars come from South America. They live in dense rain forests where it is humid and damp.

        A jaguar grows to be five to six feet long, two feet high at the shoulder and can weigh up to 250 pounds. Jaguars are thick and bulky with short and strong legs. They are not made for speed. They can have very short bursts of speed up to 30 miles per hour. Jaguars spots are open with smaller spots in the middle. 

A jaguar is a carnivore. They climb trees to stalk their prey. They wait till they can pounce and then leap killing them with one bite. It eats snakes, foxes, rats, badgers, monkeys, birds, fish, llamas, and goats. They also eat larger animals such as deer, capybara, peccaries, and tapirs.

Macaw

By James E.

             The animal that I have chosen to write about is the Macaw bird. I think that it is a cool kind of bird that comes in different bright colors. There are at least 18 species of this large colored parrots call the Macaw. The male and the female look alike. They have large dark beaks and light colored facial patches. The facial feather pattern is like a fingerprint. The Macaw’s first and fourth toes points backwards just like other parrots, toucans and woodpeckers.

            The picture I drew is of the blue and gold Macaw. The real name is Ara ararauna. A large number of Macaw are endangered in the wild. Six of the Macaw species are already exstinked. The greatest cause of extinction is the illegal bird trapping. The Macaw diet is made up of fruits, palm fruits, nut seeds, leaves, flowers, and stems. The Macaw can live to 15-30 years. Their size can reach up to 33 inches tall and weigh 2-3lbs. The face of the Macaw will turn pink when excited. Its strong beak is used to crack nutshells and help climb up trees.

            The Macaw bird is a very interesting bird to study. The colors and the feather patterns of these birds are really cool.
