myself
My name is Charles Azzopardi. I come from the Malta which is an island. I am a student in De La Salle Collage.( in Bormla) I am 11 years old and I have my birthday at 12th March. My hobbies are playing football and other sports, playing with my computer, visiting other countries and walking.
Another thing which I like is visiting places of other countries:
My characters are that I am easy going, happy and intelligent
The main thing which I like is nature. But many times I see people throwing
things in it.
Talking about a new topic
The topic on which I am going to talk to you about is on cats.
Just about to begin, I will tell on the types of cats which there many species of them. For example we take the Persian cats which my favorite ones. My family has a Persian cat at home. It is described as friendly, patient and a cat which can catch cockroach and mice. This is main thing which wives keep cats especially my mum.
My Persian cats name is Lucky. He is quiet playful. he was born in the 2nd January 2000. Before we brought him there was Lucky we had a cat which was named Tina ( The favorite name of my mum ). Lucky often catches cockroaches especially in summer. Most of his day is sleeping. Because sleeping is his favorite thing.
I love cats!!!!!!

Nature
Nature is one of the nicest things in life. It has trees, plants, grass, insects and many other things. However many people don't care about nature. They often throw things in it. in some countries many trees are chopped down. We take Brazil for example which the Rainforest Amazon has trees chopped down. The Amazon contains a big part in the world oxygen. This is also killing animals. Once in Brazil a man named Mendez complained about the chopping of the trees and the Government ordered a gang which killed him. In the Amazon you will find as well the river which one of the tallest. Over the last 25 years people who went there always found trees and lovely animals. This story could be also a lesson for the people of these days to take care of nature.
 Life
inside the wet and bustling tropical rainforest is filled with danger.
Cougars and pumas stand ready to pounce; snakes sliver unseen between
feet to administer a lethal bite; while exotic birds chirp overhead. An
animal must be both smart and strong to survive in this environment. The
intense competition from other species makes rainforest species the most
interesting.
The rainforests of the world are being destroyed by loggers and development. Many species found in the rainforest are endangered. Once they disappear, they are gone forever! The following animal pictures and information is taken from the Multimedia Animals Encyclopedia. |
Brazilian Tapir Class: Mammalia: Mammals Diet: Leaves, buds, shoots, fruit, grasses and aquatic plants Order: Perissodactyla: Odd-toed Ungulates Size: body:2 m (6 1/2 ft), tail: 5 - 8 cm (2 - 3 in) Family: Tapiridae: Tapirs Conservation Status: Non-threatened Scientific Name: Tapirus terrestris Habitat: rainforest, near water or swamps Range: South America: Colombia, Venezuela, south to Brazil and Paraguay Nearly always found near water, the Brazilian tapir is a good swimmer and diver but also moves fast on land, even over rugged, mountainous country. It is dark brown in color and has a low, erect mane running from the crown down the back of the neck. Using its mobile snout, this tapir feeds on leaves, buds, shoots, and small branches that it tears from trees, fruit, grasses and aquatic plants. The female gives birth to a single spotted and striped young after a gestation of 390 to 400 days

A
plumper, shorter-limbed animal than its relative the slender loris,
the slow loris is, however, similar in its habits. It spends the day
sleeping up in a tree, its body rolled into a tight ball. At night, it
feeds in the trees on insects, bird's eggs, small birds and shoots and
fruit, seldom coming down to the ground. A slow, but accomplished,
climber, its hands and feet are strong and capable of grasping
tightly. It can even hang by its feet. The thumb and great toe are
opposable to the other digits. Breeding takes place at any time of
year, and 1 young, sometimes 2, is born after a gestation of 193 days.
Slow lorises are thought to live in family groups.
