SPINOSAURUS!!!!

My favorite animal is a spinosaurus. The spinosaurus was bigger than the tyrannosaurus rex. The spinosaurus maybe was the largest carnivore in the cretaceous period. The spinosaurus was 15 meters long and weighed anywhere between 7 to 20 tons. Spinosaurus was able to go underwater and swim. The spinosaurus had a sail on his back to cool him down on hot days. Finally spinosaurus means "spine lizard".

Dear mrs. herrera

our team in mrs. twenge's class researched classroom animals.they are good because it can help you take care of pets. in our classroom we could have a boa/which is a reptile. We researched it's habitat and behavior. We learned that boa's have to be in medium sized cage.for instance boas can grow really huge.The boa eats small animals.For example, it can eat rats,lizards,amphibians, and birds.It eats 2 times per day.It needs bedding for its housing. In addition the temperature should be room tempature. To make sure it stays safe we must gently hold the boa and be sure he's wrapped in the cage.food and housing for one year will cost 123.00 dollars.we could learn many things from keeping a classroom pet.I would reccommend us getting a boa
'Sincerely, kai
