Report writing

This is my second report writing I wrote about Tasmanian devils


Tasmanian Devils are very interesting animals also known as Tazzy Devils, but sadly they are going extinct very quickly that's why they have a very specific habitat. They are also carnivorous so they only eat meat and mostly small animals, they don't breed very often so that is why they are going extinct.


You can find Tasmanian devils on the island of Tasmania In Australia, there is an area of around 35,042 square miles but they prefer coastal scrub lands and forests rather than the 35,042 square miles that they were given.


Tasmanian Devils are mostly carnivores but if they were given fruit they would probably eat it especially if they were starving. They mostly stick to eating small frogs, birds, fish and insects. They are most rowdy when going for a large carcass.


Tasmanian Devils can only breed up to 4 joey/pups each litter, they breed mostly from March to May and the females look for the most dominant males. Males are very rough with their female partners but in their world that is how they show their love.


They can be picky of what they eat, where they live and who their man is but it is their life and they want it to be as good as it can. It is quite interesting that they can have no more than 4 joeys at a time but I wonder if there has ever been a conjoined Tasmanian devil guess i'll have to do more research.

As you read the article, take notes about the important information. Remember: you don’t need to write in full sentences 



General Information

Any other interesting information

Some flowers can self pollinate and some use wind but you can't always be sure of that. Bees don't see the colour red, and they can smell quite well, so they mostly pollinate sweet-smelling yellow or blue flowers. Other animals make different flowers.


The male part is called a stamen and the female part is a stigma the bees help get the pollen from the stamen to the stigma. If we didn't have bees we wouldn't have ⅓ of our food.
