Swamp tigers 

Swamp tigers or as you may know them as Panthera tigris tigris are beautiful creatures, but as majestic they may appear. Their extremely dangerous, swamp tigers are also known as MAN-EATER, as strange it may be, swamp tigers don’t prefer fresh water, instead they like and live in saltwater in the mangrove forests.      

A swamp tiger grows about 1.5x more than your regular tiger , and is around 1,000 pounds in captivity. Did you know that their homes  ‘’Mangroves’’ are muddy places and are getting smaller? This is because we add to our house and cities. It’s also due to pollution. 

A swamp tiger usually eats meat which makes it a carnival. Tigers are obligate carnivores, meaning they only can digest meat and eat it all the time. An example of the meat they eat is: turtles,monkeys, humans etc. 

The swamp tigers are very protective and totoreval about their habitat, as it says in the opening statement, swamp tigers live in mangroves forests, because of this they can camouflage well and this makes it easier to catch predators, are you aware the swamp tigers are natural hunters?.

Overall the swamp tigers are endangered as they have lots of loss in habitat, the pollution we have caused them by expanding the cities has had a huge impact on the rare swamp tigers, we need to take action to this.

A compound sentence is 2 simple sentences join together with a conjunction, they have 2 nouns and 2 verbs, and start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

We went on a trip to the history lane of how and what Panmure, and Howick looked like in the 1870s. Our first task making butter, by using cream, we had mix and mix to make the butter, well we were making our butter he had made a song, ”Turn butter turn (name) is waiting at the gate waiting for some butter cake turn butter turn”. The butter tasted really good which is surprising since it only needed one ingredient. After our task we were  walking around the village exploring houses, churhes, and schools. Did you know that teachers who aren’t married was forced to come school two hours before it started and clean the floor?  Some things were stuffed with some things such as newspaper. Our last attraction was buliding a trolley the old fashion way. Compared to this generations cart it is really different considering the trolley cart is controlled by foot and needs to be pushed by someone.

This trip was fun and interesting because I experienced what it was like in 1870. And how to make butter, Would you live in the 1870s?
