I learned that few animals are extinct that I thought it was still not extinct. Also, I didn't knew that 17animals are disapearing per an hour. I feel great that I learned many things about it. Lions, Giraffes, and hippos are living in Africa. I am little excited about monstermash this afternoon. See you at monster mash or at Monday.

I cant believe that 17 animals get extincted per hour. This is not good. I also learned that 2/3 of our world is ocean. I also found that seals, penguins and Krill ( a type of fish that whales eat) live at the south pole.

I learned that 17 species go extinct every hour! That's so many animals, I thought it would be 2 or maybe 3.

I learned that Biodiversity is very important to an ecosystem because each species plays a different role in the maintenance of the ecosystem. Three animals that live in the same ecosystem are, Polar Bears, Beluga Whales and Walruses.

I learned to not dump oil anywhere, to walk more, to plant trees, and to keep nature the way it is. I already knew all of those things but I thought those ideas were pretty important to our environment. 3 living things are: bears, dogs, and sting rays. See you all Monday!

I learned Dodo bird, and big horn sheep that had gone extinct, and the five things that I can do to assume biodiversity are carpooling, riding a bike, walking, planting a tree, and by not cutting trees.

I learned that we need to stop destroying other animals habitats and five thing we can do to ensure we don't do that is to is carpooling, riding a bike, planting a tree, not cutting down trees, and walking.

I learned that a lot of animals die every hour that is just sad. If we take down trees more and more birds will loss the habitat

Something I learned is we don't know what needs what to survive so we have to try and keep all things the way they are. Three animals that live in the same ecosystem are a polar bear a arctic fox and a narwhal.

Hi, what I learned from Friday is that if you take one specie out of the chain, it will make a huge difference. Animals that live in the desert are Coyote,Rattlesnake, desert tortoise, and many more animals.
