The Ocean Sunfish,or the Mola is a giant fish.It is 11 feet(3.3 meters) and weighs up to 5000 pounds(2250 kilograms.But some are bigger,14 feet(4.2 meters). The word Mola in Latin means "millstone" which is like the ocean sunfish’s somewhat circular shape. They are a silvery color and are the heaviest of all bony fish and can breach up to ten feet(3 meters)in the air!

Texas Horned Lizard

The Texas Horned Lizard has excellent self-defense.These lizard can change colors for camouflage and inflate themselves to look more threatening.But when times are desperate,as if a wolf was nearby, it releases a squirt of blood from its eye.The Texas Horned Lizard obviously lives in Texas and it eats harvester ants, beetles and isopods.

American Black Bear

Recently I went to Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains national park.It was great.Anyways I saw lots of Black Bears there.They are excellent tree climbers and are 5-6 feet(1.5 meters-1.8 meters)long.These bears eat lots of food includingrasses, roots, berries, and insects. Sometimes even fish and other mammals.The best times to see these creatures are late evenings and early mornings.


Blue Jay

The Blue Jay of North America is a social, vocal bird.It looks big in this photo, but its real size 9.8 inches (25 centimeters)-11.8 inches (30 centimeters).The Blue Jay communicates by using a combination of calls, as well as face, crest and body movements.When a Blue Jay's crest is up it is aggressive.It is a omnivore by eating insects,nuts,seeds and grain.
