My Day at The Academy of Sciences

Hi my name is Pranay.I went to the academy of sciences in San Francisco.It  was awesome I'll tell about a few animals that I saw 
1.African hunting dogs 
used to hunt with hundred dogs or more dogs.Today they only live in packs
with 2-30 dogs 
2.albino alligators
have red eyes,they eat turtles,fish and carrion.The strongest part of their bodies is the tail because it helps it  to overpower and become faster.Albinos can be very weak even though their really BIG and if you have not seen one they are white.
3.cheetahs
as you probably know are the worlds fastest animals in the world but I bet you did not know this they can only for 1 minute and 15 seconds.
4.arctic foxes
 turn white in the winter and turn gray in the summer they turn these
 colors to camouflage in they're surroundings And they camouflage
to catch they're prey.They weigh about a tenth and feed on birds,
berries and eggs.
                                     5. klipspringers and dik-dik
are among the smallest antelopes in Africa. The klipspringers are 
20 inches and the dik-diks are 14 inches.Klipspringers prefer rocky places and diks diks jump in tall grass. they jump several times their own size. they jump to see what lies ahead of them and some say they bounce like bouncing balls. 
6. olive baboons: live in the open grasslands and woodland area.
These animals eat just about anything including grass,seeds and insects.
7. lemurs
can only be found in Madagascar. They mostly live in trees or bushes.The only lemur that stays on ground is the Ringtail lemur.They have big bushy tails.These tails are used for leaping from tree to tree.
 
So those are a few of the animals I saw in the Academy of Sciences.
