Explanation writing about Sharks

Sharks becoming extinct

There once were many sharks in the world. Today, there are not many left. The question is WHY?

The Chinese and the Japanese are running shark finning ships. This is very bad because they kill the sharks in big nets, cut the fins off and then throw the rest of the shark in the rubbish.

Many sharks are being killed each month. If this continues to happen then the sharks will become extinct like the dinosaurs.

We should stop and think about the animals which help sea like sharks. The Japanese and Chinese also need to be punished for what they do to this special sea creature.

Information report at giant pandas

Giant pandas live in China in the mountain ranges of Central China, specifically in Shanxi. 

Pandas eat bamboo, meat and leaves. They are ambush killers. They kill all kind of fish and any other prey.

The panda is certainly very different in appearance than the other species of bears. The adult pandas are afraid of any animals bigger than themselves.
