My statement and reason's why the blue whale should be kept in it's natural habitat!

Hello and welcome back to the adventures with explorer Angelica. Sadly today is my last day talking to you guys, but in two weeks time I will share all of my adventures with you when I get back. Anyway to finish off with the blue planet animals is the huge, the mighty, the amazing blue whale. Was that your guess from yesterday’s adventure? If it was you are cool and amazing. So before we get started this adventure is a bit interesting and sad at the same time. I will explain now.

Now I think that this is important because as you guys know I am an explorer. Now what is happening in the world. Well not now, but what is happening is that people are voting whether Blue whales should live in their natural habitat or people should be able to capture Blue Whales for food or to put them in zoos. Obviously I am on the team where they should live in their natural habitat. What side are you on? So without further ado the Blue Whale.

Did you know that the Blue Whale is the biggest animal on planet earth? Isn’t that just crazy! The blue whale’s favourite food to eat is krill. Krill is like shrimp and prawns.There scientific name is Balaenoptera musculus. I will also be describing what they look like.

Exploring the manatee

Hello and welcome back. If you don’t know I am Angelica the explorer. I explore the world. Yesterday we swam with the green sea turtles. Today we are not swimming, but we are going to see an amazing and interesting creature. The manatee. Now a manatee is a blue planet animal just like the green sea turtle. So without further ado let's go!

Now I am here to where most manatees can be found. A manatee is an interesting creature because it’s relatives are an elephant and a hyrax. It's just crazy. A manatee is a herbivore. If you don’t know what that is I will tell you. A herbivore is an animal that loves to eat things like sea grass and plants. One of it’s favourite foods is algae. One example of a herbivore is a giraffe.Anyway back to the manatee.

A manatee’s environment is a shallow place. It loves to swim in shallow water. You could find it in rivers,lakes and even oceans and seas. The reason why it loves to swim around there is because of the sea grass. I think another reason why is because it is easy to come up and take a breath of water.  Actually it is like they drift with the water. So it doesn’t really use it’s flippers. Another thing about the manatee is that the skin kind of hangs which cause's the manatee to not really chew probably.


Well I am sad to say that, that is our time for today. Did you have fun learning something new? What animal do you think I will explore tomorrow? Anyway this has been fun but it is time to go. Explorer Angelica signing off!
