The animal kingdom is a fascinating one,and today,I am going to share with you five animals which make up some of this fascinating kingdom.

The Black Rhinoceroses

Like all rhinos,the black rhinoceros has two horns.It too,has poor vision.

the horns of the Black Rhinoceros are made of a similar substance to human fingernails.These horns may break off sometimes,but they would regenerate.Rhinos are always quick to attack whenever there is an intruder.Biologists think that this is because if the rhinos poor vision.Although most of these attacks are not for real,these animals are very unpredictable ,making them very dangerous.

Lions

Lions are perhaps one of the most well known animals in the animal kingdom.They have even been called 'king of beasts'.

Lions live in prides of up to 40.In the pride,the lionesses are usually the ones hunting for prey.Once the prey is caught,the male lions would eat first,followed by the lionesses and then the cubs.Lions are excellent swimmers too,unlike most of their cousins.Most scientists believe that the lion's mane is used to make them look fiercer and also as a protection for their throats in battle.

Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees are one of the animals most similar to us,humans.They are able to communicate to one another using signs and making loud noises.

Once a chimpanzee has found a fig tree full of ripe fruit, it would start drumming in tree trunks and send out a loud chorus of pant-hoots and food calls to inform other members of their community.Chimpanzees are also one of the only animals known to use different objects as tools.They use long blades of grass to fish for termites by sticking the blade of grass into the entrance of the termite nest,wriggle it around and then slowly and carefully withdrawing the grass.
Bald Eagles
The Bald Eagle has been the national symbol of the United States since 1782.The Bald Eagle was on the brink of extinction until laws were set to protect the graceful birds.
Many people would think that the Bald Eagle got its name from its white head which makes it look bald.However,its name actually comes from an old English word 'balde', which means white.The Bald Eagle is only able to carry half of is weight.Should it be unable to carry its prey,it would hang on to it with its talons and use its wings to help it swim to shore.
Giant Panda
The Giant Panda is one of the most endangered animals on the planet.It is believed that there are only about 1000 Giant Pandas in the wild as many zoos are trying to save the black-eyed creature.
Giant Pandas spend up to 12 hours eating as they digestonly about 20% of what they eat.Bamboo,which makes up about 99% of their diet is also not very nutritious.Pandas also often starve themselves as when there are no more bamboo,they are unable to move to other places where bamboo species thrive.

My name is Timothy Lim.I was born on th 4th of January 1996 in Mt Elizabeth Hospital.I started to walk when I was a year old.Two years later,I started to read.I started to go to school when I was four.
When I was six,I moved to Pine Grove where I made most of my friends today.Life was good in Pine Grove as many of my neighbours' children were about my age and we would often meet at the playground to play either football or catching.On most Tuesdays,we would go swimming together as well.
I went to class 1B in primary one.As I was a very shy boy,I did not get along quite well but I managed to make some friends by the end of the first month.When I in primary four,I watched my fist World Cup.Although I did not support any team in paricular,I enjoyed it as I even woke up in the middle of the night to watch some of the big games.After the World Cup,I begin to enjoy playing football.In the year 2007,I was in 5Boldness.Although it was not an eventful year,I still had to attend the annual P5 camp.There,I learned to overcome my fear of heights while going through the rope courses.
This year will be an important year for me as I will be sitting for my PSLE examination.I hope that I will be able to achieve good results so that I would be able to go to a school of my own choice.
