Review of Sea Otters and Ruby-Throat-ed Hummingbirds

Sea Otters

Sea Otters are interesting animals. It really surprised me that they have millions of hairs per every square inch of their body and that they have the thickest fur of any mammal. That's pretty cool. I was wondering if it hurt them to use their stomach as a dinner table. I don't think any human averagely eats 15 lbs a day, but a little otter can. WOW!

Ruby-Throat-ed Hummingbirds

I had no idea that they could have 1450-1650 feathers. I would think that the male would weigh more than the female. But no, the female weighs more. I can't believe that they are such picky eaters .Only eating/drinking nectar with 12 percent sugar or more, that is quite picky. I wonder why these are the only hummingbirds from the Mississippi River ?

My Take Aways

My Take Away From Fall Is In The Air

   When I read Fall Is In The Air it really made me notice how beautiful fall time really is. My favorite part of Fall Is In The Air is how the leaves change color in fall. I had always wondered why the leaves change color in the fall and now I know that In fall the trees begin to cut off the food making process and the green color begins to disappear.I was surprised to hear that there  are about 58 different types of acorns in the united states.That was very surprising, almost as surprising as pumpkins require a long growing season of 75-100 frost free days. One thing I was still wandering after reading Fall is in the Air was what is photosynthesis?

My Take Away From Pluto

  When I read Pluto I loved all the very interesting facts like how Pluto is named after a eleven year old girl or that Pluto is the largest planet in the Kuiper Belt.I had no idea that Pluto is covered in methane and nitrogen ice.I found it very cool that Pluto is less than one fifth of the Earth's size. I knew Pluto was small for a planet,but I would've never thought Pluto was that small.One question I still had after reading Pluto was why Pluto was named after an 11 year old girl?

Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds

  

        

Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds

     There is so much to learn about Ruby-Throated hummingbirds. First off, a male’s wings can beat up to 70 times per second! Females’ wings can only beat up to 50 times per second because they are 10% heavier! They can have 1450-1650 feathers! Who knew such tiny creatures could have so many feathers?! Ruby-Throated hummingbirds are the only type of hummingbird that breeds east from the Mississippi River. They are also picky eaters. They refuse to drink nectar with less than 12% sugar. Thanks for reading my article on Ruby-Throated hummingbirds! To watch the video I watched for this information, go to Discovery Education, Middle School, Life Science, Ecosystems, Watch, and Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds.
