The African Cichlid Fish

What are the African Cichlids? These are fish are medium sized fish and male can grow up to be 6 inches and female can grow up to 4 to 5 inches.  There are to be estimated to be about 1300 species or more of this kind of fish.  These fish are one of a kind.  These fish eats meat and also eats plants.



Can you imagine a fish eating  another fish?  Well this fish can eat another fish and will digest it fine.  African Cichlids are the most interesting pets to keep in an aquarium.  African Cichlids are found in Africa.  These fish are so interesting that a writer has some to write about. 

The Dodo Bird

Have you heard of the Dodo bird? You might have but not actually seen one.  That is not a surprise because Dodo birds have been extinct since the Ice Age.  These birds are flightless which means they can not fly.  These birds stood up to 3 meters and weighed up to 44 pounds.  Wow! This bird should go on a diet and soon enough it will fly.   Sadly these birds were threatened and now they are nowhere to be seen.


 You might be wondering what this bird might eat if it was alive, well this bird eats mostly ate fruits and seeds.  My main concern is how did Dodo birds disappear? After doing some research many suggested that all the Dodo birds were eaten by sailors.  First many were threaten and soon all of them disappeared.  Now scientists don't know for sure how they look like.   Dodo birds were mentioned in the movie Ice Age.  That was when the Dodo birds extinct.  What if they were still alive? The Dodo birds wouldn't be any harm to anyone of us.
