  1. Endangered animals. Save the panda now!!!! By Alvin and David

  2. Ball's Pyramid is a 548 metre tall rock with steep, sheer sides, sticking out of the ocean. It is the world's tallest and most isolated seas tack. It has no beach for a boat to land. Experienced rock climbers are the only people who visit. Following the rediscovery of the Lord Howe Island stick insect, staff from Melbourne Zoo and New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Department travelled to Ball's Pyramid and, the middle of a storm, climbed the rock to search for the insect. To make matters more complicated, the insects are nocturnal, so the climb and the search took place at night. They collected four Lord Howe Island stick insects and brought them back to Australia. One pair was taken to Melbourne Zoo and the other was taken to Sydney. Lord Howe island stick insect Possibly the rarest insect on Earth, the Lord Howe Island stick insect was for 80 years thought to be extinct. Their disappearance from Lord Howe Island was caused by rats, which came ashore from a wrecked ship in 1918 and thrived. By 1930, the stick insect and 5 species of native bird had disappeared. However, in 2001, on a rock sea stack called Ball's Pyramid 23 kilometres southeast of Lord Howe Island, a climber spotted seventeen of the insects.

  3. Panda facts!! Giant pandas depend on bamboo for the vast majority of their diet. When bamboo supplies in an area run low, the panda must travel to where there is a fresh supply, which can be problematic. The female panda is able to conceive during a very small window of between two to three days. The average female raises just five to eight cubs during her lifespan. The panda has lost habitat to farming, necessitating the migration farther into the high country. Farming fragments the habitat of the panda, isolating it from others of its kind. • panda eat lots of bamboo they only move down to move to a new tree. • The panda has black ears, eyes, shoulders and legs with the rest of the animal being white. It may weigh as much as 330 pounds and be 5 feet long. • The panda lives in a few portions of the mountains of south western China. It lives in coniferous and bamboo forests at elevations around 4,000 feet.
