My local zoo
I volunteer at my local zoo. Everyone is very
friendly here, even the animals! Well, most of
them…

We look after animals, big and small. They’re all

different, so we always think about how we need
to look after each animal.

The polar bear is very big and it’s dangerous. It

needs a lot of space to move around in and space
to swim. For some animals, like beetles, food is more important than space. But a
bigger space is always better.

Cheetahs are very fast, but the cheetah here is old, so the wolf is faster than the
cheetah! The wolf and cheetah are both big, but the polar bear is bigger. The
important thing at our zoo is that the animals and our visitors are all safe.

Book your tickets and come and visit soon!

Small but strong!

Species: The rhinoceros beetle

Size: Generally, the rhinoceros beetle isn’t very big, but

the Hercules beetle (a species of the rhinoceros
beetle) can grow up to fifteen centimetres. This
means they are bigger than most other beetles around the world.

Diet: Rotten fruit, leaves and wood.

Habitat: It can depend on the species, but they live around the world, just not
in Antarctica. You can find them crawling in leaves, plants and wood in
woodland.

How to identify: Only the male beetle has got a horn. The female beetle has got
a small bump.

Fact 1: Do you know what sound a rhinoceros beetle makes? It hisses and
squeaks!

Fact 2: The Hercules beetle is stronger than any other animal! But a crocodile,
polar bear and a kangaroo are more dangerous than a Hercules beetle.
It can carry 850 times its own body weight. How amazing!

Is the Hercules beetle strong?

2 Read again. Then look and write. Write two more sentences about the beetle.
1 The Hercules beetle is than most other beetles.

A concrete jungle!
Cities like London are big, busy and not very safe or
welcoming places for wild animals. However, you might be
lucky enough to see a few wild animals stopping by for a
visit …
An otter: They are shy animals and difficult to spot! They’re
usually swimming and playing in wetlands and coastlines
around the UK, but some like the rivers, canals and wetlands
in the UK’s towns and cities.
A whale: It’s much bigger than an otter. It definitely isn’t
something that happens every day, but a beluga whale
appeared in London’s River Thames a few years ago!
A snake: Britain has got one poisonous snake, the adder.
London and other cities in the UK have got some great green
spaces, so these snakes like to slither and slide around
there. They also like to lie in the sun! An adder is more
dangerous than a grass snake, but it’s also much smaller.
These days, we see animals like foxes, rabbits and squirrels
in our cities every day. Some look quite friendly when you’ve
got some food… so they’re intelligent, too!

1 Which wild animals might you see in the UK’s cities?

2 Which other snake is more dangerous than a grass snake?
3 Are otters shy animals?
4 Which animal was seen in the River Thames?
5 Which animals live in our cities these days?

2 Write about animals you see in your nearest city. Where is their
usual habitat?
