“Colour me in so I can swim!

Happy #MarineMonday everyone! I am an Orca, but often referred to as a Killer Whale. I am the largest of the dolphins and one of the world’s most powerful predators. I send sound waves that travel underwater which is known as echolocation which I use for communicating to my friends and hunting. I have some questions for you:

1. What do I eat?
2. Where do I live?
3. How large do I get?”

It is finally Friday, and we would like to celebrate our followers by taking species requests on #FollowerFriday. Today’s public choice is a deer! 

“Colour me in so I can graze!

Happy Friday everyone. I am a deer and I am one of more than 40 species that can be found in most parts of the world. I have a great pair of antlers which shed and regrow every year. I am a male as I have these wonderful antlers but my female friend do not. I have some questions for you:

1. What do I eat?
2. What do I use my antlers for?
3. How big can I grow to?”

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and we would like to meet our old friend who just to live on Earth.

“Colour me in to preserve me!

Hello, I am a Dodo and I used to live on a lovely island. I am a large, chubby bird that used to live on the ground where I built my nests, as there were not natural predators here during the time I was around. Even though I had wings, I was unable to fly as they were too small to support my round body! I have some questions for you:

1. What did I eat?
2. What Island did I live on?
3. When did I go extinct?”

Happy hump day everyone! Today is #WeirdWildlifeWednesday and we would like you to meet our strange friend.

“Colour me in so I can carry fly!

Am I a moth or a bird? I am in fact a hummingbird hawkmoth, and I am a moth that looks like a hummingbird. I can fly up to 12 miles an hour with my very fast moving wings, and my wings can flap up to 70 times per second! I have some questions for you:

1. How big is my wingspan?
2. Where do I live?
3. What do I like to eat?”

Today is #TerrestrialTuesday! Terrestrial simply means anything that lives on land, so today we would like you to meet our big cat friend.

“Colour me in so I can find some food!

“Happy Tuesday everyone! I am a leopard, and I am a very dangerous carnivore. I can be really fast when I want to be, I can run up to 31 miles per hour when I hunt my prey. I am also surprisingly springy as I can leap 6 metres forward through the air. When I am not active, I like to spend my time chilling up in trees. I have some questions for you:

1. Am I diurnal or nocturnal?
2. Where do I live?
3. Do I like spending time on my own or in group?”

“Colour me in so I can swim!”

Happy #MarineMonday everyone! I am a Manatee and I am a gentle, slow moving mammal and often known as a ‘sea cow’. My body is described as being ‘egg-shaped’ and I have large wide tails that are actually very strong. My closest relative is actually an elephant! I have some questions for you:

1. What do I eat?
2. Where do I live?
3. How large do I get?”

It is finally Friday, and we would like to celebrate our followers by taking species requests on #FollowerFriday. Today’s public choice is a hornbill!

“Colour me in so I can fly!

Happy Friday everyone. I am a Great Hornbill, also known as great Indian Hornbill. I have a very impressive bill which I use to show how great I am to attract females. I can live very long in the wild, some of my friends lived up to 50 years! I have some questions for you:

1. What do I eat?
2. Which countries do I live in?
3. How big can I grow?”

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and we would like to meet our old friend who just to live on Earth.

“Colour me in to preserve me!

Hello, I am a Velociraptor and I am a dinosaur! People think I am a larger than a human (because I am famous in the film Jurassic Park) however, I was around the size of a turkey! I could run very fast on my two feet, up to 40 miles per hour! I have some questions for you:

1. What did I eat?
2. When did I live on the earth?
3. Where was my first fossil found?”

Happy hump day everyone! Today is #WeirdWildlifeWednesday and we would like you to meet our tiny strange friend.

“Colour me in so I can continue my slow journey!

Hello, I am a Tardigrade and I am a microbe, which means I cannot be seen with the naked eye. I am also known as a water bear or sometimes a moss piglet! I can live in environments that would kill most animals, and I can even survive in outer space! I can also survive more than 10 years without water. I have some questions for you:

1. How big am I?
2. Where do I live?
3. What do I like to eat?”

Today is #TerrestrialTuesday! Terrestrial simply means anything that lives on land, so today we would like you to meet our giant friend.

“Colour me in so I can graze!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I am an African elephant and I am the biggest land mammal on earth. I can walk up to 65km a day because I have to eat a lot of food because of my huge size. I have a very versatile trunk, and the tip is made up of two opposable extensions, just like fingers, that I can grab food with! Even though I am a giant, I am afraid of bees because their stings have hurt my friends! I have some questions for you:

1. What do I eat?
2. Why do I need to cover myself in mud and dust (apart from it being fun!)?
3. What is the name of a female elephant that leads a group of elephants?”
