sharks

A shark can sense even a small amount of blood in water one kilometre /half a mile away. Little is known about the megamouth shark as it was first discovered by scientists in 1976. Only three photographs of it in it's natural habitat exist in the entire world. Some of the items found inside sharks' include a horse's head, a porcupine, parts of bicycles and cars, a sheep, a chicken coop-and even a suit of armour with the remains of a french solder inside!

dragons


Dragons are mythical creatures. In some pictures of dragons they have two heads but most have one head. Sometimes I draw pictures of dragons because I love drawing things that I can make up the look of.

Alligators


Alligators aren't as aggressive as crocodiles. Alligators make a grunting noise. Just like crocodiles alligators build up stress. You can feel the stress build up. Thats why you need to move as fast as possible when your catching one.

DEATH ADDERS


Death adder's don't frighten easily, and instead of slipping away as a human approaches, it lies motionless and camouflaged. this makes it easy to tread on, wich is how most people get bitten. It is unlikely to strike unless touched, but has a very fast strike and tends to hang on. It's fangs are quite long, 6 to 8 millimetres, and it is more mobile than most other venomous snakes. Before antivenom,fifty per cent of bites were fatal. This snake is mostly active at night. It uses it's tail like a worm to lure it's prey. It spends most of it's time half-buried, waiting to ambush prey. The Northern Death Adder and the Desert Death Adder are both smaller in size than the Common Death Adder. The Desert Death Adder also has a blackish tail tip and the lighter crossbands may have their hind edges marked by black-tipped scales.
