Epic Leopards by Will Tobias

Epic Leopards by: Will Tobias

      Leopards are amazing creatures! Leopards are large spotted cats that can run incredibly fast.  Most weigh about 100 pounds, but they can weigh up to 170 pounds.  Leopards are able to camouflage themselves which means that they can blend in with their surroundings.

Leopards live in many places. They live in Africa, Asia, India, Iran, Java, China, Russia, Nepal, Israel, Kenya, and South Africa.  They can live in desert like regions, but they can also live in swampy areas and green forests.

Leopard cubs are adorable! Leopard mothers carry their cubs in their mouths sometimes.  They are very protective of their babies. They hide their cubs in well-hidden places. The mother leopard rears her cubs alone. After a few weeks, they start hunting small animals.

Leopards have amazing adaptations. They bring their prey up into a tree to eat it. Leopards spend most of their time hunting and resting. Leopards have solid or doughnut like spots. They’ve been found 15,000 feet above sea level.

Leopards are fierce carnivores.  They eat mysterious things. They eat wildebeest, zebra, antelope, birds, snakes, baboons, sheep, and almost anything else. Leopards also feed on other predators. They are sometimes  killed themselves. Leopards kill their prey by lunging at the animals throat.  Leopards are not endangered.

Relaxing Lake Tahoe

imageLake Tahoe is an awesome place to go during the summer. Lake Tahoe is hot and has one of the biggest crystal blue lakes in the world. There are lots and lots of fresh green pine trees and furry squirrels. In Lake Tahoe you can go cliff jumping, swimming, hiking, and more. A lot of fish, crawdads, and birds are found in Lake Tahoe. In Tahoe you can smell the smell of pine trees and the smell of fresh water at the beach. There are lots of cliffs and poofy clouds.

“When I Went to Lake Tahoe”

imageA very special time in my life was the summer of 2012. I went to Lake Tahoe, Nevada. We left home at midnight and arrived around 10:00 a.m.  We settled in and headed to the lake. Something very exciting I did was I got towed by a boat on a raft. It was fun but painful. Then I went to a yard sale and got a bullet-chain belt and fuzzy dice. I also went to Virginia City in Nevada and got about 9 things! I got mini hand cuffs, a mood ring, a rabbit foot and more! The trip ended seven days later when I came home and fell asleep.  image

Chuck Norris And The Midnight Ninjas

imageOnce upon a time there was a black belt named Chuck Norris. He was tall and muscular. He had black hair and a killer goatee.   One night Chuck Norris was at Times Square. Five ninjas tried to rob him, but he had other plans. The ninjas started a fight. They tried to punch him, but he dodged their punches.  Then he gave them a round house kick to the face!     Chuck Norris beat the midnight ninjas and went back home. He ate pizza and watched Monday night football. The anchovies were harder to handle then the ninjas.
