Science this term we have been learning about the five kingdoms and they are animal plant fungi protista and Monera.
The main phyla for animals is arthropoda. The number of arthropods on Earth today is 3.7 million species. It includes animals with jointed limbs and an exoskeleton made of chitin.
Omnivores, carnivores, herbivores and decomposers are all types of consumers. Herbivores are living things that only eat plants to get the food and energy they need. Animals like elephants, cows, rabbits, and horses are herbivores. Carnivores are living animals that only eat meat, examples are lions, whales, hawks and many others. Omnivores are animals that eat both meat and vegetables. They do not mind what they eat. Some examples are humans, pigs, fish, wetas and lots of birds.
Blue whale
Scientific name: Balaenoptera musculus
Phylum: Chordata
Family: Balaenopteridae
Classification: Mammal
IUCN status: Endangered
Lifespan (in wild): 80-90 years
Weight: More than 130,000kg
Body size: 30m long
Diet: Carnivore
Habitat: Ocean
The blue whale, the largest living mammal alive today,is rare to see and is endangered due to whaling back in the day. They are big, about 70 to 110 ft in length and are around 150 tonnes in weight.
The baby blue whales are about 25 ft in length and weight about 3 tonnes after living with the mother for about a year.
And this concludes my blog.
