A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae,
native to the Americas. They are often used as ornamental plants,
but some are also crop plants. Cacti are grown for protection of
property from wild animals, as well as many other uses.
Cacti are part of the plant order Caryophyllales, which also include
members like beets, gypsophila, spinach, amaranth, tumbleweeds,
carnations, rhubarb, buckwheat, plumbago, bougainvillea,
chickweed and knotgrass.
Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to
extremely arid and hot environments, showing a wide range of
anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their
stems have adapted to become photosynthetic and succulent, while
the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are well known.
Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is
Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m,
and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputana, only about 1 cm in
diameter at maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines
and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the

same group as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-
group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help
them slither along. Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales
which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to
reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is
because snakes are cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to
heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees,
some live in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit
burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizards, mice and other
snakes. The Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears.
Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are
protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying
snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin

Whales are sea-living mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot
survive or land. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale,
which can exceed 30 meter length, is the largest animal which lives on earth.
Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important
difference in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat
horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top
of its breadth, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a
layer of flat (blubber). This is up to 30 meter in thickness and serves to
conserve heat and body fluids.
