The Amazing Cuttlefish

There are creatures on the ocean floor and people think they are aliens, these creatures eat shrimp and crab and they also can shape-shift, they have green blood as well. These creatures are cuttlefish.

Appearance

Cuttlefish are cephalopods that have the ability to change color and shape, which means they can disguise themselves to get away from predators. Cuttlefish don’t have a tail fin or anything like that, they have one fin that goes all the way across their bodies. Cuttlefish also have eyes at the back of their heads, so they can see if predators are coming.

Protection

Cuttlefish have jet propulsion, they can shoot water from their bodies to escape predators, they are also known to spray ink if alarmed to cause confusion. Cuttlefish flesh is poisonous, so if they get eaten the predator who ate it won’t survive either.

Ability

Cuttlefish can change color and shape in seconds by using special skin cells and chromatophores (cells containing color), which reflect light in all sorts of colors. They also have three hearts, one for each gill and one for the rest of the body. Cuttlefish bones are full of gas, they have small chambers of gas that keep them floating.

Conclusion

I believe Cuttlefish are amazing and unique and that people should find out more about weird and wonderful animals like the Cuttlefish.

Healed - A poem about forgiveness

A wound, a broken bone.
Someone hurt you, inside, outside.
A friend or a sibling, a mother or a father.
Where do you go? No one to turn to, 
no one but... Jesus. He says "Forgive" and I do.     
My wound is healed, broken bones fixed,
forgiven is my family and forgiven is my friends.
Mended is my relationships and Jesus is my friend.

The Arctic Owl

Too wit, too woo. What, an owl in the arctic? That’s right an owl in the arctic called the Arctic, Snowy or Great White Owl. The snowy conditions make it perfect for their white feathers to camouflage into the snow. The Snowy owl is a carnivore and has quite a lot of white plumage. The Snowy owl is one of the largest owls in the world.

Habitat
The Snowy owl's habitat is the snowy conditions of the arctic tundra ranging across Canada, Greenland, Europe and Russia. Snowy owls makes their nests on the ground in bushes, not in trees. The Snowy owl's habitat helps their camouflage because of their white feathers or plumage blending into the snow.

Appearance
It is extremely hard to see a Snowy owl because of its appearance, however you can spot the difference between a male and a female. The female has lots of distinctive black spots and the male does have some black spots, but it does not have as many as the female. Their white feathers make it perfect for hunting because their prey can't see them due to their camouflage.

Diet
The Snowy owl is a carnivore which means an animal that only eats meat. The Snowy owl eats, duck, mice, rats, fish, other birds and much more. Sometimes they eat so much they can produce a whopping 14 eggs, two times more than regular owls.

In conclusion, the Snowy owl is a magnificent owl, from laying 14 eggs to camouflaging extremely well and eating lots of meat to being one of the largest owls in the world. Overall, these are amazing, unique creatures.
