Reptiles are very
common in South
America.
What makes an animal
a reptile is that they
are a cold-blooded
animal that lays eggs.
All arachnids have
8 legs. All
arachnids start off
with six legs and
then they grow two
more at the front.
There are lots of big
cats and most off them
are endangered. Most
cats are tagged and
this could save their
species.
Monkeys are very acrobatic and are
related to humans. Monkeys favourite
food are bananas. There are different
types of monkeys some are small and
some are big.
Insects have multiple legs
and some of them can fly like
butterflies and bees. Ants can
carry many times their own
body weight. Insects mostly
eat plants and the earth plays
a vital part in keeping insects
alive by giving them a home.
Capybaras only mate in water.
Capybaras look a bit like
beavers. They are also very
good swimmers. Capybara is
also a rodent but can be as
large as a pig.
There are a lot of birds in South
America including the peccary
and the blue and yellow
maccaws. The habitats for
some birds are trees and
grasslands. Some birds from
other continents come to South
America because it is warmer
and there is more food. Some
people destroy birds eggs for
fun.
