Hyenas

                                           Hyenas
When people think of hyenas, they think of bloodthirsty scavengers. While in reality, hyenas actually catch 90% of their prey.  Hyenas live on the African Serengeti in packs and are extremely social in nature. In the hierarchy of hyenas, females are above males.  Hyenas are often described by scientists as being very intelligent. Hyenas surprisingly, are more closely related to cats than dogs.  Maybe it is time to take a closer look at some real bloodthirsty characters FOR EXAMPLE, LIONS.  Lions have a habit of killing hyenas for no particular reason and then not eating them. Scientists have yet to explain why lions behave this way towards hyenas.

alright, i LOVE those online pet widgets you can get!!! they are sooooo cute i am gunna get some more soon sloth or tiger?????

A Review of the Hunger Games


I have read the books in The Hunger Games series over and over. It  is my favorite book series EVER.
      The Hunger Games are about a teen named Katniss who lives in former North America, now called Panem. There are 12 districts that mine, harvest, or build various everyday things for the capitol, were everyone is super rich. District 12, where Katniss lives, mines coal. Her dad died in a mining accident.
     She and her best friend Gale, poach illegally to feed their families. To remind the districts that the capitol is in charge, every year each district must provide one girl and one boy to fight to the death in the arena. These “games“ for the capitol’s entertainment, are called the Hunger Games. Only one kid comes out of the arena and is crowned champion and is given a lot of money and a new house. Katniss’s little sister gets chosen as the girl tribute because her name is pulled out of a huge glass ball, like a lottery of sorts. Katniss volunteers to go in her place.
     That is how the book series begins. I highly recommend as a book anyone would enjoy!
