About the Kingfisher

Kingfishers are a small group of small-medium birds. Kingfishers are famous for diving to get there food. There are more than 80 kingfisher species. Kingfisher can easily catch fish. The secret to this fishing is that they have very good eyesight, they could see a motionless fish. They fly at 30 m.p.h so that the fish doesn't get away. Kingfisher have small feet but they are very strong. They spend most of there time perching on branches, twigs. Fish isn't the only on the menu. Kingfishers don't always eat fish. They sometimes eat like crabs, crayfish, snails, and frogs.

Facts about the Lion


Lion is so amazing that with one thunderous roar it frightens mostly every animal in the area. Sadly people kill this animal for fur and other things. But keep in mind that this animal can hunt down people and kill them. This animal is vulnerable (threatened). Some jungle people need to watch their back. Remember that the lion aren't the only animals alive. There are more than 10,000 animals. What is your favorite animal?
