When You Were Born

When you were born,
My heart was filled with love.
I knew I had to be a better person.

From the bright lights
To the fast beating hearts.
My daddy pacing back and forth
With sweat sliding down his head.

I sit and wait for you to come out.
Finally. “ I see the head the doctor says.”

Mom holds you and
Rubs your gentle soft head
She gives you to our daddy
And you scream
With a squeaky whine.
He gives you to me.

And I touched your silky soft blanket
As I cupped you in my arms.
I knew I had to care for you
And show you the way of life.
I had to be a better person.

I love you and I always will love you
Now and forever my little brother.

Vicious Velociraptor

By: Dale Stum

Mouth drooling teeth, blood thirsty tongue, prey can’t see or hear predator, teeth and claws are ready to attack and shred. Predator stars to run, prey hears little step click crunch click crunch click crunch. In a flash prey is caught and killed by the Velociraptor.




I know there name is difficult to say but, there is a reason why there name is what it is. They got it because of the word velocity. This means speed, and these Velociraptors run roughly thirty to forty miles an hour.

Habitat Velociraptor

These Velociraptor use to live in woodlands in China, Russia and, Mongolia. Their habitats are good for them because. It helps them catch prey because their skin color was brown and greenish they blend in with their habitat. Another reason they need their habitat is because they need the trees to put eggs under, because they lay their eggs by trees.



What They Eat

Even though these animals are little they are still carnivores. They eat small dinosaurs, other insect and animals. They have an advantage against prey. Because they barely get seen and they also have a disadvantage because they are little they could easily get crushed
by dinosaurs bigger than them
There prey is easy to catch because they barely get seen because they are only 2.5 feet tall. They run roughly up to 35 to 40 miles an hour.

Dinosaurs then and now

There are still dinosaurs living till this day and kids think they are fascinating. Like turtle Komodo dragon alligator and other animals. I hope you learned something about velociraptor.
