Armored Animals

I'm going to tell you about Armored Animals.



The African Elephant is the largest animal on land. It lived up to 70 years. It has a very long nose called a trunk and long horns called tusks. The elephant's wrinkly hide is often caked by mud from wallowing. It can go underwater and snorkels. Elephants lived in Africa and Asia. It can eat grass and peanuts and the people say "an elephant never forgets."


 The Black Rhinoceros has a thick baggie skin. The skin is so tough that even the claws of the big cat cannot tear it. Despite it size, the black rhino can gallop very fast. If it feels threatern the rhino will lower its sharp pointed horn and charge toward its enemy. It can plants called Herbivores. Rhinos lived in Africa and Asia. It can also keep cool in mud and water.


The enormous Hippopotamus is one of the biggest land animals. It's tough baggie hide protects it from the enemies. When it feels threaten, the hippo open its mouth wide to show its long curve teeth. The hippo spend most of the time keeping cool in lakes and rivers. It can also eat plants called Herbivores. The hippo can roll in the mud to keep cool from the hot weather. Hippo is a river horse.

Hermit Crabs live inside the shells of dead animals. They hooked the sofe body inside the empty snail shell. It can use their legs to pull along the seabed. Hermit Crab can hold a large front claw to steady themselves. They live in the new home at the bottom of the sea. Sometimes Hermit Crabs can cross the shell it's entrance for protection. The winner gets the shell and the loser force to look elsewhere.


 The spiny Lobster has a hard jointly crust which protects the body from attack. It has a tough charky shell called an exoskeleton. As the lobster gets bigger it has to shredded shell and grow a new one. While the new shell grows, the lobster hides the soft body from its enemies. They live in the rocky crest of the sea.
