![]() By: Jennah No, a starfish is not considered a fish. Unlike fish, starfish do not have brains, gills, scales, or fins. The starfish has a water vascular system. Most starfish have spines. A starfish’s skeleton is covered in skin. Real fish don't have skin covering their skeleton. They have scales. The starfish’s bones go into each arm. The bones grow back if the arms fall off. Starfish move around using tube feet. An adult sunflower starfish has approximately 15,000 tube feet. Fish, like clownfish and angelfish, swim using fins. When a predator is near, the starfish will stop. This will make sure it blends in with its surroundings. That’s why starfish are not fish. by, Isabella, Kendall and Autumn

If you are holding food, the cat will probably meow at you. Also, cats meow when they get scared. Therefore, if your cat comes across a dog, he will meow. Another thing is when cats see something that makes them happy, like a toy mouse, they will meow at you to tell you they want to play with it. Cats also meow because of their temperature. They meow when it is hot or cold outside. A cat's normal body temperature can range from 100.5 to 102.5 degrees. The last thing is they meow to communicate with humans if they want something. Cats hiss if they feel threatened. They communicate by meowing, growling, chirruping, or chattering. The next time you hear a cat meow, you should think about what they are saying.

Jumping In order for cats to always land on their feet, they need to have a certain body position. First, they do a “bow” to launch themselves in the air. When they're in the air, their feet get ready to land like they have a mind of their own. Balancing The cat needs to to be able to balance for when it lands, so it does not get wonky and fall. In order for that to happen, they need to have strong bones..The cat's tail can not get in the way or all types of mischief can happen. YIKES! The cat’s whiskers balance out the cat’s weight. Landing Whiskers help them to know where to land because it feels the air and shows them where they are going to land. If the cat does not have whiskers, it will not land right. Feet position is also very important. Cats never just land with stiff legs. They normally walk while they land. That's how cats always lend on their feet ! ![]() By: Stanton and Nick Did you know that meerkats have instincts like people? They have different jobs in their community.

Other marsupials include kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, and opossums. There are many reasons why koalas aren't bears. First, they are very slow on the ground. Most bears move quickly through the forest. Unlike bears, koalas are very quiet animals. Next, bears do not have pouches, but koalas do. Bears are also much larger than koalas. Brown bears weigh an average of 600 pounds, and black bears weigh an average of 240 pounds. Koalas, on the other hand, only weigh about 9 to 33 pounds. Another difference is that koalas mostly live in trees and bears are usually on the ground. Finally, koalas are different from bears because they don't go in the water to catch fish. Although koalas are not bears, they do, however, have some things in common with bears. Both animals have fur. They are also the same because they live in a family of mammals. Did you know koalas and bears both have ears? Also they both have four feet and can climb trees. Even though koalas are not actually bears, they are closely related. Those are the differences and similarities between koalas and bears. |
