Animal ResearchPowerpoint Presentation By Mrs. Hamilton’s 2nd Grade Class December, 2013
African Elephants live in Africa and Asia. Elephants live in grasslands, forests, marshes, scrub, and some deserts.
African Elephants eat plants, bark, roots, and fruit. They make a sound called rumbling. Elephants live in groups called herds. Elephants are brown and gray. They only have 3 toenails on their hind legs and 5 nails on their front legs. Their ears are shaped like Africa. They have gray or brown wrinkled skin.
Elephants walk with their feet like us. When the seasons change they huddle with their herd. People kill the Elephants for their tusks.
Like us elephants start as babies but go straight to young adults then become adults. Elephants spray water to keep cool. They have a four foot long tail. Elephants make pathways though the environment that are used by other animals to access areas normally out of reach.

Arctic Foxes By Eloise Masters Wherren
Arctic foxes live in Alaska or the North Pole. That means they live in North America. They live in the tundra where trees do not grow.
Arctic foxes eat lemmings, fish, dead animals and birds. Their mating call is howling like this: “Aaaaaaooooowww”. They live in family groups and the mom is called the vixen. They are all white. They have short little white ears. You think they have pointy ears but they actually have curved and short ears. They have curved, sharp claws and they have sharp teeth.
Arctic foxes move on 4 legs. They are nocturnal except in Arctic summer. They used to be hunted for their fur but now it’s illegal.
Female Arctic Foxes start out as babies. Then they grow up and they look like their mom. Then they have babies. Then when the babies grow up, they have babies and their mom dies. Males have the same cycle, but they don’t have babies. Arctic foxes are mammals. When they hunt (sometimes) they follow a polar bear and when the polar bear leaves, the Arctic Fox comes in and eats the carcass that was left.
