Enormous Elephant, largest mammal on land,
With a trunk more handy than a human hand:
It can breathe and drink, it can dig things and grab,
It can hug friends or shower them – that trunk is fab!
They live in huge groups of one hundred or more, With tusks like sharp tools and big ears to keep cool,
And clean up in sand baths, which they adore. There’s no doubt about it: the Elephant rules!
From Degu to Emu – they’re feathered and funny,
Fantastic, furry,
And come from Australia, where it is sunny. funny and fabulous
The Emu can’t fly, but it sure can run fast, creatures await you next
month … it’s animals
Watch you don’t miss it, as it sprints past! beginning with the
letter F!
They’re famously nosy – a real big bird,
But not quite as tall as the king of the herd …
