Animals of
North America
The great frigatebird lives off the coast of Hawaii. The
male has a red gular sac which he uses to attract a
female. The female bird has a white spot on her neck and
blue rings around her eyes.
Seahorses are a unique animal, as it is not the female who
carries babies but the male. Dozens and sometimes
hundreds of eggs are carried by the male in what is called
a 'brood pouch'.
Blue footed boobies dance to attract a partner. Both the
male and female contribute to protecting and raising their
young. Breeding pairs typically care for between one and
three blue eggs at a time.
Wolves have an average life span in the wild of 6 to 8
years. When a wolf finds a partner they stay with them for
life. Wolves live in a family group called a 'pack' and baby
wolves are called 'pups'.
A male kingfisher will give a gift of fish to females to
attract them. A pair of kingfishers work together to build
their home called a 'burrow' along the edges of streams or
rivers.

Animal profile :
American beaver
Height:
29 to 40 inches (from head to tail)
Weight:
40 to 50 pounds
Diet:
Beavers don’t just build homes from
trees, they also eat them. They also eat
leaves, roots and bark from aspens,
willows, maples and poplar trees. They
can also eat aquatic plants.
Class: Mammalia Genus: Castor

Beaver homes are called

place to live. Dams are created
by weaving branches together,
felling trees by cutting them
down with their teeth, and
waterproofing the construction
with mud.
