Wednesday: Writing Task

Hi Today i am going to be talking about Giant Pacific Octopus as you might know you may be thinking Where do they live? or  What do they eat? Who are there predators? What do they look like? How many Kg do they weigh?. Well I am  going to be talking about them.  

Where do they live? They range throughout the temperate waters of the
Pacific, from southern California to Alaska, west to the Aleutian Islands
and Japan. 

What do they eat? Giant Pacific octopuses spend most of their lives
alone. They hunt at night for shrimp, clams, lobsters and fish, but have
also been known to eat small sharks using their beak-like mouths to
puncture prey. Along with eight arms, an octopus also has three hearts
and nine brains. 

Who are their predators? Marine mammals, such as harbour seals, sea
otters, and sperm whales depend upon the giant Pacific octopus as a
source of food. Pacific sleeper sharks are also confirmed predators of
this species. In addition, the octopus along with cuttlefish and squid are
major sources of protein for human consumption.

What do they look like? Giant Pacific octopuses have huge, bulbous
heads and are generally reddish-brown in colour. Like the other members
of the octopus family, though, they use special pigment cells in their skin
to change colours and textures, and can blend in with even the most
intricately patterned corals, plants, and rocks. 

Wednesday: Writing Task

Did you know that in World War 1 Boy Scouts protected the railroads line
and delivered messages and Girls Guides grew vegetables and milk.
But British Secret Service. The Boy Scouts, who were first choice for
this work apparently found it hard to keep sensitive secrets, so Britain’s
agents turned to the Girl Guides, instead Both on the battlefield and back
at home some incredible creatures helped to transport soldiers and
goods  and save lives. Some of these animals were horses, dogs,
pigeons  and even goldfish played their part. The  Girl Guides would make basic medical equipment for wounded soldiers. Children were even
paid to collect conkers which could be turned into explosives!
They also wrote letters to soldiers and helped to knit socks and scarves
for the troops in the winter months.
