What is inside puss?


What is inside puss?

Part one-Into the wild  

Warriors-a good book about cats that look domestic, but really are born wild. For many lives, four clans of these warrior wildcats have shared and ruled the forest, according to the law, Also known as the warrior code. But the great warrior code lay down by the ancestor clan, Starclan, is threatened, and noble warrior cats are dying, most of them the good warriors of Thunderclan, as the sinister and all-powerful Shadowclan grows stronger each day. In the middle of this struggle, an ordinary house cat named Rusty appears… Who may yet end up as the bravest warrior of them all? What I thought about this book :( In my brain)”Wow! I never thought that cats were able to host such good stories! I thought they were boring! Also, thanks, Author, now I have a new opinion on catsJ!  

Part two- Fire and Ice

 Deep in the forest, 4 clans of wildcats are living in hard and harsh harmony and uncertain lines are upon them. Now Rusty, now called Fireheart, is a full-fledged warrior of Thunderclan, but his troubles have not gone down. When the chills and the cold of next season, winter, come, and the rival cats of Riverclan are growing restless, as the lost Windclan is weak and facing threats and problems from all sides.  As dangers grow into a highly explosive climax, Fireheart faces not only lots of fights and blood, but betrayal in the heart of his own clan as well.

Caracal--Animal Project




What is a caracal?
Meet the highest jumping cat and mammal in the whole wide world…. Introducing, the caracal! These cool cats are wild, but they can jump 10 feet high! Find out about the mysterious life of caracals, also known as desert lynx.



Where a caracal lives
A caracal lives in arid areas as well as dry scrubland throughout Africa, except Sahara and tropical rain forest; eastern Mediterranean countries as well and coastal places of Arabic peninsula. Also parts of southwest Asia does the cool caracal live in. Caracals are predatory mammals.
A Caracals Habitat range, as shown below.


Food chain
Caracals are consumers, meaning that they have to eat plants (Otherwise known as producers) or animals. Some consumers only eat a certain kind of food, like in the case of the caracal, they eat meat only. This wildcat is opportunistic hunter of plump birds, such as guinea fowl, to the powerful kori bustard. For the mammals that they prey on, there’s the Impala, a certain kind of medium sized African antelope, the steenbok, which is a common small antelope that is a native to southern and eastern Africa, and the springbok, a medium sized Gazelle-Antelope found in southwestern Africa. Mainly, adult Caracals only have one predator, whereas Babies have 3. Out of these 3 predators, only one eats adults-Humanity. Wahhhhh! These are the only other predators of caracals-Raptors (Birds of prey) and wild dogs, Such as the African hunting dog, otherwise known as the cape wild dog. 
 
Physical adaptations
With the one of the rarest creature powers in the whole planet. (Well, every animal has a power! For example, the great white shark has a supreme bite, Humans have superior intelligence, and cheetahs have speed, so they are one of the fastest animals!) Caracals may not be the top predators of the savannah, but they don't have many predators, but they do have a lot of prey. Now to tell you great readers about their creature powers. First they have their amazing leap. Caracals leap amazingly high, they leap up to 10 feet high! Also, they have the amazing ability off swat birds right out of the air! Imagine if you were a bird, flying, and 9 feet high, only to be stunned by the paw of a caracal! Also, the hind legs are longer then the front legs, allowing them to run very fast, which is the reason Caracals are the fastest and most widespread small wildcat in Africa. The long black tufts on the tips of caracal ears emphasize facial expressions- Valuable for communication between Caracals. The skull of an awesome Caracal has a short, compact, muzzle and strong Jaw muscles give the Caracal deadly biting power. The feet of the caracal are big, so they are powerful enough to bat, knock, or hook a bird clean out of the air, as well as out of flight. Ears of a caracal are black on the outside and highly pale in the inside. A caracal’s coat is short but dense, and color varies through from tawny brown to reddish gray and even wine red, a through all caracals have white under parts. Dark form individuals are known.    

Behavioral adaptations


Like most wildcats, the caracal is solitary; through some live in a pair. It keeps a territory up to 26 square miles. These predatory mammals mark boundaries on tufts of grass, rocks, stones, and trunks of trees. In Africa, they are active during early morning and evening, though once the hottest time of the year comes; Caracals are generally nocturnal, meaning that they come out at night. In Asia, where the winter is mainly colder, so Caracals tend to hunt in the day. On finding a neighbor, rival, or mate, Caracals will sit down like normal cats do and turn their heads this way, then that way, to and fro. It then uses the ear tufts to signal feelings. In particularly tense moments, It puts them back, adding menace by baring I’ts gums and using a vocabulary of screams, spits, growls , and hisses.

P.s Thanks for reading!

Great day with jack!

Sunday, May 26, 2013

Hey, people! You’ve haven’t seen me in a long time! (Or at least not heard from me.) Today was great! I invited 1 of my best friends to my house, Jack, (Not the little 1!) and we played! First, we went to the basement to play video games! It was fun. I even taught him a few tricks on it! (Oh, and by the way, Jack, the more mature one, Is Chinese like me, Through I look more like a Korean. He has lighter colored skin, and is very small. Then, we went outside to play tag! It was fun! We were running all over the backyard! Tree house, bridge, secret passage, you name it! Then, Mom came into the back yard, looking for us. We were hiding in our secret hide out, and we scared her! “Whoa”! Then, we went in, only to be confronted by a delicious lunch of eggs, bacon, rice, and lettuce! After “Yum”; we went upstairs and made… Origami dragons! We took 2 to the park, had a race of who could throw theirs the farthest and I won! On the way back, we both found two 4 leafed clovers! Returning to the backyard, we dug up most weeds In My family’s backyard and watered the flowers! Then, Jack left.

Happy (And sad) may!A really bad day at school
Friday,May,03, 2013

Today was a bad day at school.How? So,this is how I started of today: I go to school, thinking that the day was a field trip today at the swimming pool. So,I start by flexing my goggles and putting them on, only to see and hear a bunch of my classmates such as Andrew and Sarah,(who is a african-canadian girl who always wears her hi-jab and doesn't like to be blamed though easily laughs.) snickering and/or smirking. We all go in, and then the teacher, Mrs.Harwood scolded me for wearing them(goggles). Mrs.Harwood has brown hair and hazel eyes. Along the way, I am facing countless stares from Alexa, and to make things worse, Dear friends Damien and Bryan. Then, I stay in for recess because of a measly book report. At the end of recess, I am finally allowed to get my snack. I open my lunch bag and grab my favorite fruit:a apple! While eating the apple,I choke of a very big bite of apple. In math, I raise my hand for 10 minutes and Mrs.Harwood still does not come to me to see what I was asking. In lunch recess, I have to waste time to take care of a sometimes crazy friend named Zach. Zach has orange hair and skin with the same color as Bryan's and a lot of freckles.It turned out that he bumped his head on the playground's play scape really hard because he was sprinting and (he runs FAST!) was not looking. In fitness class, I have to do this dance with three girls and Zach.The group was of 4 because a friend,(that is a girl) Anabell, who has brown hair,white skin, and brown eyes stayed behind for some reason.And there is a annoying girl who is always bossy in my group. In science, my favorite subject, I got really bored. In last recess,I get hurt by a half friend that uses fists for fun.Finally!Last period, french! This time ,we get to play a fun game- I cannot play. I have to do work. And guess who sits beside me? Correct. Zach.Meanwhile, who sits in my chair?Alexa. Finally, School is over!
