I have been learning how to write a report with an interesting opening statement (attention-grabber), introduction, main points, linking sentences, conclusion and closing statement. I decided to write one about this animal:
And here is my writing. Can you spot all the different parts of my report?
Do you know what the most hunted animal in the world is? The Pangolin.
My report is about the Tree Pangolin. First I'm going to tell you about the body. Then I'm going to tell you about habitat and food.
The body has hard keratin scales and each one covers a little part so it is still agile. Also because of its keratin scales not even a jaguar's jaws can break it. If it is attacked it will roll into a ball. Also a young Pangolin's scales aren't fully hardened so if a baby is in danger the mother will jump over it and a curl herself around it. Also its tail is prehensile so it's able to wrap around a tree. Did you know that the only part of the Pangolin's body that isn't covered is the belly because it rolls into a ball.
Also the Pangolin's body is well adapted to its habitat.
It's habitat is a dead tree. That's why it has a prehensile tail because it hangs in the tree. But it can live in the rainforest, savannah or desert.
The Tree Pangolin's habitat is a great place to get food.
Did you you know that a Pangolin eats rocks and sand to grind up food. Also, it uses it's front legs and ferocious claws to rip up rocks. Then with its long tongue it will eat the termites up. Other Pangolin food are ants and other bug species. There is sticky mucus that sticks to ants on it's tongue.
So now you know about the Pangolin's body, habitat and food.
Even thought it's the most hunted animal in the world no-one knows much about the Tree Pangolin. But you do now!
