TEXT 1

This big animal comes from the cat family. It lives in Asia. It’s about a metre tall, 2.5 metres long and it weighs 300 kilograms.

It’s very fast and it can jump and swim very well. It’s got very strong teeth and it kills other animals for food.

This animal is in danger. People kill it for its beautiful striped fur.

TEXT 2

This animal lives in the bamboo forests in China.

 It walks on four legs and it can climb trees. It’s got big eyes and big black ears. It’s about 1.5 metres long and it weighs 100 kilograms.

It eats bamboo. When it eats, it sits down and uses its front paws to hold the bamboo. Sadly, the bamboo forests are getting smaller and there isn’t enough food for this animal.

TEXT 3

This animal lives in warm waters, for example in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

It’s about 2.5 metres long .It uses its fins and tail to swim at 36 kilometres an hour and it can jump 3 meters out of the water.

It lives in a friendly group and all the group ‘talk” to each other. This animal is in danger in some places because of pollution in the seas.
