Tuataras

In room 4 we are learning to write an explanation about animal
life cycles.you had to find an animal to do a life cycle and research
it.

you need for your explanation writing is subtitles factual information
your stages title date technical language and a introduction.


The thing that went well was that I found a lot of information
about tuataras.

My next step is maybe making my words smaller.

My question is have you ever done a life cycle about an animal ?



                       Tuatara 

       This is a life cycle of a tuatara.
         
           The egg
        A female tuatara lays 10-19 eggs in
A deep burrow underground.The eggs stay underground
For 12 to 15 months before hatching.If it is cold it will be a female and if it was warm it would be a male.


           The hatchling
 The hatchlings come out of there eggs and the hatchling
Are left to defend themselves The hatchlings also grows three eyes and they are about 12-15cm long.


           juvenile 
Juvenile tuataras do not mate or have babies.
Juveniles avoid adult  tuataras by only coming out
During the night to hunt.juvenile tuataras grow scales over there third eye also they are around 45-60 cm long.

    The adult tuatara
Adult tuataras sleep during the day and hunt at night.
They eat beetles,crickets,spiders,frogs, lizards,eggs and bids. Tuataras are cannibals they eat members of tere spices.

I hope you learnt something new.Have you ever done a life cycle on a animal
