A cheetah is the fastest runner on earth. A cheetah can reach speeds of over 70 miles (113 kilometers) per hour. The cheetah’s light body, long legs, and super flexible backbone all help the cheetah cover lots of ground. A cheetahs claws and long tail help to keep the cheetah balanced  and makes them have more traction when making high speed turns. Cheetahs mostly live in open or lightly wooded sections of African and parts of Asia.

Did you know there is a huge group of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?  It is bigger than the whole state of Texas and it is growing bigger and bigger!  Luckily there is an invention called the Ocean Vacuum that would  trap the garbage as the normal current pushes it into a 62 mile long floating barrier.  If the testing works out, they may use this invention that would clean up the trash by 42% in the next 10 years!  

Hopefully the Ocean Vacuum pictured on the left above, works to make the ocean look like the picture on the right!

My perfect place is Disneyland!  It is almost always sunny and it has many magical fun things to do.  You can meet and greet the characters, play fun carnival games and go on roller coaster rides!  When I went to Disneyland in 2015, I was horrified riding the roller coaster that went 35 mph and upside down really fast 3 times but it was fun after it was done.  Every time I look at the Minnie Mouse ears hanging in my room, it reminds me of the fun times I had there!  Have you been to Disneyland? What is your perfect place?

There are many types such as Brain Coral, Finger Coral, Cabbage Coral, and Fan Coral. Coral reefs live in warm and shallow water. Some coral reefs can grow to be huge!                         Have you ever seen a coral reef? I have never seen a Coral reef.

 

Do you want to know what I did for Christmas? Here is what I did. First I put up all the Christmas decorations around the house with my family.
