A Monarch butterflies

Monarch butterflies are orange and black with enormous wings. Every year,
they fly more than 4,500 kilometres from Canada and North America down to
an area in the mountains of Mexico. It is the longest journey of any butterfly
in the world. Their journey usually starts in September or October and it
takes about two months. These beautiful butterflies can sometimes fly more
than 100 kilometres in one day and they often fly very high too.

Servals are African wild cats. They live in different countries in Africa such
as South Africa and Tanzania. Servals can be one metre long. They have long
legs and they are one of the tallest animals in the cat family. Servals are fast
animals. They can run at eighty kilometres an hour. Servals eat animals like
rats, and other small creatures such as frogs. They can jump up to three
metres. In some parts of Africa there are now smaller number of servals and
they are in danger. The biggest problem is human activity like hunting.
