How do Forces of Nature & Environment
Impact our Local Habitats?
Written By Josiah
My name is Josiah and I am a second grader at HTe North County. My class went to clean up Carlsbad Beach and noticed lots of trash! We decided to create a project about our dilemma. The essential question for our project was, "How do forces of nature and environment our local habitats?" We learned how trash and pollution impact the animals that live in our local habitats.
Please read my research below to learn more about our project and how you can help protect our local habitats.
The Tiger Shark Survived
a Deadly Hunter
Once a upon a time a tiger shark was hunting for food so then it spotted a sea snake. He went as fast as he could and then he caught the sea snake. Then he ate the sea snake! He thought he saw another sea snake, but it was a piece of a tire. Tiger sharks are nicknamed “wastebasket of the sea” because they eat anything they find.
One day hunters sailing from another island hooked up the tiger shark because hunters were hunting for tiger shark fin, flesh and skin. Tiger sharks have vitamin A and people like to hunt them for this. The tiger shark felt very mad trapped in the net. His body was wiggling and trying to get out.
The tiger shark escaped out of the net by biting it with his powerful jaws and sharp teeth. He swam away but there was some more hunters. The hunters came to eat so then they got the tiger shark to he bit out of the net and then he didn’t get captured so then he lived.
