The Sumatran elephant’s habitat is
in Sumatra, Indonesia. The average male elephant reaches eight feet high and
weighs up to six tons. A baby elephant can weigh up to one ton. The males are
always larger than the females. They are massive creatures.
Elephants have a trunk, two tusks,
two eyes, two ears and two lumps on their head. They are known to be clever
animals. When an elephant is hot, they fan themselves by flapping their ears back
and forth. When an elephant herd wants to move they use their ears as a guide.
Their hearing range is very large. Elephants hear some noises that can not be
heard by a human ear.
Sumatran elephants
have enough strength to knock down a tree. They can also pick up a log using
just their trunk and their tusks. Their trunk is their nose. They also use it
like a hand. Just below their trunk they have their tusks. Only male Sumatran
elephants have tusks. A baby elephants is called a calf; the females are called
cows.

Birds
Birds belong to a class of warm blooded
vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to mammals, birds are the
most important group of land-living vertebrates.
All birds have feathers, although in some types,
particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure of the feathers of
the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The
forelimbs of birds are modified into wings.
The bony part of the tall, except in the very
earliest fossil birds, is very short, and the visible tall is composed of the
feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals
the only other group of warm-blooded animal-the circulation is highly perfected
so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of
veins and arteries by which this is accomplished, is different in the two
groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external ears. The sense
of sight also is very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or lacking, except
in a few vultures and other birds.

Although gorillas look ferocious, they are
really rather quiet apes. They live in family groups in the thickest parts of
jungles.
A gorilla’s feet, hands, and wrinkled face
are bare and black. His fur may be short or long, depending where he lives. The
short-hair gorilla lives in the hot, damp, tropical forest of western Africa
and the long-hair gorilla live in the cooler air in the high mountains of
central Africa.
A gorilla’s arms are so long; they almost
touch the ground, even when he is standing up! Some wild mountain gorillas
weigh as much as you, your father all weigh together.
At night the father gorillas sleeps on the
ground. But the mother and baby gorillas sleep in the big nest of stick and
leaves on the ground, or in the lower branches of trees, where they are safer
from prowling animals.

A
kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia. It has a smaller relative,
called a wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and in New
Guinea.
Kangaroos eat grass and plants.They have short front legs, but very long and strong back legs and a tail. These are used for sitting up and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to make forward jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three metres high. They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour.
The largest kangaroos are the Great grey kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adult grows to a length of 1.60 metres and weighs over 90 kilos.
Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at once into this pouch where it spends its first five months of life.

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is a tropical maritime tree or shrub of the genus Rhizophora.
Mangroves have special aerial roots and salt-filtering tap roots that enable
them to thrive in brackish water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as
sea water).
There are several species of mangrove tress found all over the world. Some
prefer more salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water
source (such as a river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some
species have their roots covered with sea water every day during high tide.
Others are more sensitive to salinity, and grow closer to the shore. Other
species grow on dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.
Mangrove need to keep their trunk and leaves above the water line. Yet they
also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves.
There are three types of mangrove roots that help in this process :
-
Support roots which directly
pierce the soil.
-
Level-growing roots which twist
upward and
downwards, with the upward twists
emerging on the
water surface.
-
Level-growing roots whose
downward twists (sub-
roots) appear on the water
surface.
Any part of a root that appears above the
water line
channels oxygen to the plant below the
water line.
Over time as soil begins to build up,
these roots
produce additional roots that become
embedded in
the soil.
