This is a small animal that has a pouch and grey fur. It has strong feet with claws for climbing trees. It eats leaves and sleeps a lot, sometimes for 18 hours a day!

I’ve liked these animals since I was small. They don’t have feet, they have fl ippers. I love their faces, which have huge eyes and long whiskers. They’re good at swimming, and they can stay under the water for two hours.

These animals live in ponds, rivers and lakes. They have a beak and webbed feet, and their feathers keep them dry! Some are plain and brown, and some have beautiful green heads.

These animals are very small but really important because they help plants grow. They have six legs, a striped body, four wings, five eyes (yes, five!), and two antennae, which they use to smell.
