UNIT 7

Australian whales are younger than American whales.

The children at the international school compared animals in their countries. This is what they found out.

Australia has some long snakes. All the snakes in Canada are shorter than the ones in Australia. The British snakes are smaller than the Australian ones too. Some snakes in Australia are 26 feet long. One snake found in China was longer than the Australian snakes. It was 55 feet long.

The bears in Russia are bigger than the bears in the USA. All bears are strong, but the polar bears in Russia are stronger than the black bears in Canada. Polar bears are bigger than black bears too. So black bears are smaller and weaker than polar bears.

The deer is a tall animal. The British deer called a stag is taller than the deers in Russia. Stags are shorter than the moose in Canada though. Moose are a type of deer too. They are taller than the other animals in Canada.

Whales can live a long time. Some of the blue whales that live in Australia are as old as 90 years. The whales that live in the north waters of Alaska in the USA are older. They can live for more than 200 years. The older and younger whales swim a long way every summer to find food

Just like no child is better or worse than another child, no animal is worse than another. Each child has a favourite animal, but it is not better than the others.
