What I learned about animals

        Yesterday I read a book about animals. Here's what I learned from the book.

        I learned that sea birds make good parents because they stay with their eggs from 6-14 months. I also learned that raptors have stones inside their gizzard and whatever the raptor can't digest it the gizzard makes special pellets and once it's done eating it spits the pellet out. Another thing I learned was that the longest migration of sea birds was the article tern which flies 12,000 miles both ways.

       Another thing I learned from the book is that boneless fish like the sharks, rays, and skates have mouths on the lower part of their head and eyes closer to the top so they can't see what they're eating. I learned that the first fish had no jaws and they were finless there is still two fish that are early fish and that is the hagfish and the lamprey.

Something else I learned from the book is that the biggest monitor lizard is the Komodo dragon which weighs in at about 300 pounds. Lizards have dry scales on their skin and clawed feet. Lizards can use their tongue for ,many things for wiping their mouth clean to catching their food.
