TORNADO
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air
which is incontact with both a cumulonimbus
cloud or, in rare cases, a cumulus cloud base and
the surface of the earth. Tornados come in many
sizes but are typically in the form of a visible
condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches
the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of
debris.
Most tornadoes have wind speeds of 110 mph
(177 kph) or less, are about 250 feet (75 m) across,
and travel a few miles (several kilometers) before
disappears. Some reach wind speeds of more than
300 mph (480 kh), stretch more than a mile (1.6 m)
across, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles
(more than 100 km).
Although tornados have been observed on
every continent except Antarctica, most occur in
the United States. They also commonly occur in
southern Canada, south central and eastern Asia,
east central South America, Southern Africa, north-
western and central Europe, Italy, western and
south-eastern Australia, and New Zealand.

All turtles are reptiles. Scientists often refer to
them as chelonians, because they are in the
taxonomic order called Chelonia (from the Greek
word for tortoise). They all have scales, lay eggs,
and are ectothermic; they vary in size from fitting
in your hand to about 1.800 pounds (817
kilograms). Chelonians live everywhere from
deserts to oceans to backyard creeks. So why are
there different names? Those common names
usually refer to differences in where the species
live and how they use their habitat.
Turtle spends most of its life in the water.
Turtles tend to have webbed feet for swimming.
Sea turtles (Chelonidae family) are specially
adapted for an aquatic life, with long feet that form
flippers and a streamlined body shape. They rarely
leave the ocean, except when the females come
ashore to lay their eggs, although some species,
such as the green sea turtle, do come out on reefs
and beaches to bask. Other turtles live in fresh
water, like ponds and lakes. They swim, but they
also climb out onto banks, logs, or rocks to bask in
the sun. In cold weather, they may burrow into the
mud, where they go into torpor until spring brings
warm weather again.

are laid. Unfortunately, there was no traditional

Antlers
A handsome stag with majestic antlers
admired himself in a lake. As he looked at his
reflection he thought, "My antlers are beautiful!
But these spindly legs of mine are so skinny I wish
I could hide them in shame."

stag bounded into the woods. As he ran, his
