Frightful Animals

According to "Frightful Animals" in National Geographic, the goliath tarantula is very dangerous. I was amazed how it could catch a bird and how a small animal could get up to the size of your foot.

The biggest lizard is the gila monster. It uses its tail and puts its painful venom into the predator to protect itself from predators.

The largest bird on earth is the European Eagle Owl. It has a massive wing span that reaches 6 feet, which is 2 meters!

The great white shark spends its life in the water. They have over 300 teeth. When one comes out then another one grows back in. Also the blood thirsty animal doesn't mean to eat us. They just think that we are surfboards or big fish.

The blood python reaches up to six feet. That is probably the height of my teacher. Blood pythons squeeze their prey until they die. They hunt small animals like rats, and rabbits. This was surprising for me because such a big animal devours such small things!
