Writing A Explanation

We have been learning to write an explanation about animal life cycles.

We had to make a google docs about Frog,pandas and Tuataras. In the explanation we had a title,introduction, subtitles,factual information,technical language.

The writing went well for me.

My next step is to add more pictures.

Do you know anything about animals?

Here my doc.

Tuatara

A Tuatara has been around since the dinosaurs and is still around! If  you want to know some things you didn't know keep on reading.

The Egg 

The Female starts the life cycle by laying 10-19 eggs in a deep burrow underground.

The egg stay underground and develop for 12-15 months before hatching! {That's a year or more!} The eggs are soft and leathery.If the eggs are warm it's a girl if it's cold it's a boy.

The Hatchling

Once hatchlings come out there left to defend themselves.The hatchlings have three eyes the hatchlings are about 12-15 cm long {Adult Tuataras are about $50  -60 cm long that ́s like 2x the size of when they were born!}

The Juvenile

The Juvenile is like a teenager and it ́s third eye get ́s covered by scale,Juvenile tuataras hunt during the day they hunt because during the night the Adult Tuataras hunt and adult Tuataras sometimes eat the Juvenile.The 

The Adult 

The adult Tuataras have babies every 3-4 years.It has survived for almost 200 million years!{That is so much years and days}They mate and have babies after 15 years.Tuataras shed their outer layer every year.{shed their skin}

Those are the stages of their life and I hope you learnt something new.
