BaZella
Singing, dancing, swimming? All of that and more, for a normal sized bird, with zebra
skin, and an elephant trunk ? What is it? It is BaZella, and its features are amazing!
BaZella is an enchanting looking creature. Due to the fact, that BaZella has one
elephant trunk that is as orange as a carrot. Also, the cool looking creature has three
bright yellow hairs on its peach colored head. Next, her wide eyes can be of colors such
as, brown or blue, like the sky! Her body is like a bird with black, silky zebra skin. Her
feathers are small like a midget compared to BaZella's long elephant trunk. Also,
BaZella's feet are as pink as a pig. BaZella's long, orange trunk is used for its
survival!
BaZella's survival is depended on its orange trunk to suck up its food like a vacume.
Its food is an awfully strange choice. BaZella eats wiggly worms from its bird genes, and
eats grass from its zebra genes. BaZella's favorite food is crunchy peanuts and obviously
that comes from the elephant genes. Since, BaZella lives in the comfortable area; she
finds whatever food she needs!
BaZella's taste maybe weird, like a three-nosed clown, but her habitat is pretty
normal. BaZella lives in the suburbs of the Midwest and the Southwest. Also, she lives in
beautiful trees. In the trees she has lots of fun but she has more fun with other
activities!
Bazella loves to have fun! BaZella does so much cool stuff. One, she swims with her
striped feather's. Two, she sings like a pop- star with her elephant trunk. Also, she
loves to dance with joy. On the other hand, she loves to do magic for fun! For magic she
has super X-ray vision, but she doesn't use it for evil. Also, she swims and sings for
magic and fun. BaZella is an enchanting animal. She does magic and much more!
Are you amazed with the features of BaZella? BaZella, elephant trunk with zebra skin
and a normal sized bird body. Singing, dancing, and swimming, but now you know that she is
a lot more than that!

The Banda
Did you know that right now, scientists have only 1/2 of the worlds' animals
discovered and identified? They say it's mostly insects, but they've overlooked
Myth Island where mysterious creatures like the Bandas live. The Banda is so infamous that
it's not even written about in storybooks!
The Bandas are very inelaborate creatures. Their head is one of a Giant Panda, with a
black patch over their left eye if they're a girl and one over their right eye if they're
a boy. Their eyes are as rosy as newly picked apples. The Banda has gently curved black
ears that are as soft as silk. There is a clean white center in the middle of that black.
She has a cute pink nose that has spots as tiny as bugs decorating it. Her little red
tongue sticks out of her solemn mouth in such an adorable way. Along with having a panda's
head, she has a Grizzly Bear's body. It can be either a brown or a mahogany color, but
either way the fur is so shiny that it glints like the sun and is as soft as a warm
blanket. Her legs and arms also belong to the panda. They are as black as night and as
smooth as velvet. Next to last, the tail. It belongs to the ever-crazy monkey. On the
Banda's stomach there is a green pouch made of fish skin that hangs around her short neck.
Fish, by the way, is also one of her favorite meals!
The Banda has a very nutritious diet. Her regular meal consists of fruits and
vegetables- especially freshly dug out carrots and newly picked apples. One rare treat is
fresh salmon. The Banda only eats 2 salmon a year. When she catches the salmon, she
scrapes of the scales to make a shiny green pouch in which she holds her magical griffin
feathers.
Most people believe that the most powerful creature is the Unicorn, but that's not
true! The Banda is almost 10 times more powerful than the unicorn! One magical
power that's a bit hard to swallow is that the Banda can fly, no matter how heavy it is,
without wings! All it must do is take the horn of a unicorn and squeeze it HARD! Also, the
golden griffin feathers that females collect and the silver ones that males collect have
special healing powers when used by the Banda. Where do they find all these materials to
be able to do their magic? Simple! On Myth Island, the Banda's Home Sweet Home.
Myth Island is a magical place full of beauty. All throughout
the island are crystal clear rivers that are home to different types of fish.
Around these streams and rivers, there are golden beaches that can actually grow
plants. Lush, green forests cover the earth. On the Island, there are 4
different territories. In the Northern part live the Unicorns, in the Southern
part live the Centaurs, the West is home to the Griffins, and the Banda occupies
the East. No matter how Myth Island sounds like, it's a great place for the
Banda to have fun.
It seems so far that the Banda's Life is all work and no play, but that's highly
untrue! One thing that the Banda enjoys is collecting. When a Banda is very young it
receives a unicorn horn to give them the ability to fly. That's another thing she likes to
do. Fly. She flies around gathering Griffin feathers. Bandas are also very caring
creatures. The love to play with their friends and families.
So now, you're one step ahead of the greatest scientists. You've discovered a new
animal! Maybe now, the infamous Banda will become more famous.

The Dugteater
Have you ever seen a creature as tall as a tree? If you haven't, the Dugteater is
waiting for you. The Dugteater is so tall; it's hard to see his head. If you want to see
the Duteater, bring some binoculars.
The Dugteater is an awesome but tall creature. She has purple as a plum legs with green
dots as green as grass. Her legs are as thick as adult legs and there as tall as two jeeps
stacked on top of each other. On her tail she has black, bold, crooked strips with fur as
red as a cherry freshly growing on an enormous cherry bush. Plus, the tail is thick and
long so she can reach most of her body except for it's long legs. Also, it's body is as
blue as a killer whale jumping in and out of the bluish greenish, cool water sparkling in
every direction the suns hitting it. She has short, thick, blue wings. It's head is like
an ant eaters head. Her head is as green as a freshly picked apple on an apple tree. Her
eye's are black and beady. She has a wide, round mouth with small, rough teeth inside.
Although her teeth are very small, they are very useful for eating.
What does this creature eat? Well, this creature eats a lot of things. Some of the
things she eats are juicy, warm meat, fish, fresh as a cucumber, ants as crunchy as a
carrot, and leaves as sweet as sugar. How does she get her food? Well, her meat is really
hard to get. What she does is she uses her legs to kick the animal until it falls down and
then she uses her legs to step on the animal until the meat starts to slip out of the
animal. Then, it gets down low and starts to pull the meat out of the body. She does not
eat fish that often even though the fish are as fresh as cucumbers because it can take up
to fifteen min. just to catch one fish. She swims in the water and when a fish gets closer
to her, she opens her mouth so the fish thinks her mouth is a tunnel. Once the fish gets
closer and closer, she goes forward really fast and eats the fish. Ants are really easy to
for the Dugteater to get. What she does is she kneels down and uses her long, thick nose
to suck up the ant. When she eats ants, she always needs the sweet leaves to wash it down.
She stands up nice and straight until her small mouth can reach the leaves and starts to
swallow them whole. Although she eats sweet leaves, where could she find all this
wonderful food?
Whoa! This place is huge and so warm! Why? She lives in Australia (way down south) in a
huge jungle next to a long river that runs to the other side of Australia. This place
looks like huge, tall trees shooting up from every direction you look. These trees have
more leaves on the tree then how many dots she has on her legs! The river is a huge, long,
thick, sparkling one. When the sunset hits the water, the water sparkles even more.
Although her home is a beautiful place, her magic trick is as beautiful as the sunset.
How tall is that gold egg? I think it's about 6 feet tall! Her magical trick is to lay
a 6-foot tall golden egg. This 6-foot gold egg hatches into a mini me Dugteater. Although
the Dugteater is tall, the mini me Dugteater can get just as tall.
Splash! One thing the Dugteater does for fun is swim. Crunch! Also, she eats for fun.
After she eats she takes a long nap. Although she does lots of fun things, she loves to do
them all.
Wow! This creature is tall and amazing at once! Even though this creature has a duck
body, it eats like an elephant. The only place you will ever find this creature is in
Australia, so if you want to learn about this creature, go to Australia.

Bird Ruf-fish
"It's a bird, it's a fish, it's super Bird Ruf- fish!" said a little
girl. Bird Ruf- fish is the most fascinating entertaining creature in the whole entire
world! It's magical and can take you to places people haven't even discovered yet! He also
has a secret, SHHHHHH!!!! A bird, a dog and a fish that's to bizarre looking.
Bird Ruf- fish has the most amazing & unusual features ever! The tan & dark
chocolate circles around his soft sweet mysterious eyes look like roasted marshmallows.
His light gray face is as gray as clouds when it starts to drizzle rain. His velvety ears
are as black as the midnight sky. All though his cute doggy face is irresistible his shiny
fish scales are beautiful. The gorgeous scales are shaped as glittery diamonds. His scales
are as pretty as a Tiffany's ring. The light blue scales bring out his colorful feathers.
As I noted his feathers are bright and colorful. His tail feathers are green, blue and
yellows that shimmer with delight! He is amazingly cute & strange, but the way
he catches his food is even weirder.
Even though BR-F looks abnormal, his food is petite and is more common in this country.
For example he eats guppies as small as a babies sweet eyes that glow so brightly. Since
Ruf-fish is a land & water creature he likes to eat bugs (almost anything that
can fly) for example he likes flies, butterflies, & dragonflies. The way he
catches guppies is by hiding inside seaweed or behind rocks, then when they come
he pops out and catches them by snapping his jaw. Last, but not least, the way
he catches those tricky bugs is by sprinting and darting at them when they don't
know BR-F is there. If that doesn't work than he flies around till they give up!
Along with that he's magical. . . . . . !
Have you ever seen a dog and a fish fly like a bird, and the only thing that's keeping
them up is there wings and tail? I have and I just so happen to have one of these animals.
It's a Bird Ruf-fish. BR-F flies & soars like an eagle acting like Superman!
Like most super heroes he has a special way has a special way of flying.
Superman has a cape and Spiderman has his web, but BR-F has wings! If you saw
him he has no wings and doesn't look like much, but inside he's a hero! The way
he gets his feathery wings is by shaking & wiggling his velvety head 5 times
fast. He doesn't like saving the world all the time, but he sure loves traveling
it (caution: this info about BR-F being a super hero is top secret)!
BR-F likes flying around the world, a lot! When he's not with me or saving the world
he's traveling it. His favorite place is Paris, he loves French food! Ewwwwww
snails! He especially loves pizza, so he goes Italy. That's a lot better than eating
snails. Apparently BR-F just goes for food, so I don't see him much. His favorite place is
home, because he likes being with him. Ruf-fish is the sweetest animal I know! Last week
he took my friends and I to an unknown island. He's always so nice and is never mean,
unlike some animals.
Bird Ruf-fish is the most outstanding animal in the U.S.A! He has amazing features,
strange food, super flying techniques, and has fun like any other animal. Maybe not the
same fun though. He may not be home much, because he's saving the world, but I know he's
doing something good. You should always love a Bird Ruf-Fish.

elephant, body of a zebra, tail of a bunny and legs like a horse. The Zebraphant's head

The Zebraphant lives and plays in the rainforests of South America. This place has many
different animals to play with and it has almost every different type of tree or bush for

The Zemonrabb
Wow did you see that thing go through the jungle? I think it's a rabbit. No it's a
monkey. Wait it's a zebra! I know it's a Zemonrabb! Can any other animal be in four places
at once, just like the Zemonrabb? The Zemonrabb is a fearless creature.
The Zemonrabb is a crazy looking animal. For example, the Zemonrabb has a head of a
rabbit, a body of a zebra, legs of a monkey, and finally a tail of a cat. The Zemonrabb's
head has long pointy ears, which are as pointy as a needle. Her eyes are as blue as the
sky. Her nose is as pink as someone who's blushing. She Zemonrabb's body has bright and
colorful stripes. They are as bright as the sun. Her stripes were as long as someone's
arms. The Zemonrabb's legs were as hairy as a lion's main, and as brown as dark dirt. Her
feet had four short toes on each foot. Her toes were as short as a pen lid. Even though
her toes were short, she had a tail as long and skinny as a yardstick. The tip of her tail
was so pointy, if you touched it, you would cry! With her long, pointy tail she digs for
her dinner. Her dinner is usually a insect!
The Zemonrabb can eat some pretty nutrias foods. For example she eats red and green
insects. For her snack she finds colorful shoes to eat. She digs in the garbage to find
shoes. If she couldn't find any, she would stick to red and green insects. Even though the
Zemonrabb is a bug-eating animal, she is a regular green fingered creature. As green as
the grass.
The Zemonrabb is a very magical creature! For example what ever she touches will turn
dark grass green! It takes three pokes to turn green. While she's poking at it she must
say, "With my magical powers turn this thing dark green!" Can any other creature
turn things green? Turning things green is lots of fun for the Zemonrabb, but what the
Zemonrabb loves doing the most is her favorite outside game!
The Zemonrabb's favorite game to play is called, "Hide and seek!" The
Zemonrabb plays hide and seek at least 3 times a day! She loves playing hide and seeks
with other creatures in the jungle! Even though the Zemonrabb is always the first one
found, she never gives up and keeps on playing. The Zemnorabb loves playing hide and seeks
at her home in her tall, puffy bushes, and trees.
The Zemonrabb lives in tall, puffy trees in the jungle. The trees are as puffy as an
Afro. The sun there is always as bright as a flashlight. The Zemonrabb moves very often.
She moves at least every weekend. The Zemonrabb loves were she lives, and will probably
never move out of the jungle.
In conclusion, when you go into the jungles watch out for the ferocious Zemonrabb, she
might turn you green. Remember never mess around with the Zemonrabb.

The Active Wolf-Cat
"Cshhhh" Oh my gosh! "Cshhhh" What was
that? If you don't know, I sure do. Its an amazingly strange animal called The Active
Wolf- Cat It's not that scary, though it's actually very friendly. The Active Wolf- Cat is
a spectacular creature. The head of a wolf, the body of a giraffe, the tail of a panther,
and the legs of a tiger. Also, its nickname is the Wat. The wolf head is gray like a
cloud. The Wat also has a little black nose and below his nose are his teeth, sharp like
arrowheads. Although his nose is a dark black, his eyes are happy and black too. Above his
eyes are dark gray ears that are bright pink on the inside. Unlike the head the body is
very bright, while in shade or sun. The Wat's body is yellow like the sun with
orange/peach spots. The spots are funky shapes and different sizes. Attached to the body
are his legs (obviously). The legs have dark, black, stripes that are very bold. Along
with the stripes, the rest of the fur is a bright orange and razor sharp claws that it can
pull in and out. Now about the Wat's panther tail, it is as black as the night sky. Also,
the tail can be a curvy tail or a straight tail. Even though, The Wat has razor- sharp
teeth, his teeth are still very good for chomping up soft grass, and eating crunchy
leaves.
"Ah yes" What The Active Wolf-Cat eats. The Wat eats any kinds of meats,
colorful leaves, and grass. To get the leaves it climbs up the really tall trees, and
plucks them off with its arrow head teeth. Obviously, it just gets grass from the ground.
To get the meat (don't be scared) The Wat sneaks up on its prey through the tall yellow
grass and pounces on it! Although, it may seem that The Wat has to go every were to get
his food, enstead he can just get his food around his home.
The Wat's home is a very special place. The Active Wolf-Cat lives in any forests with
tons of trees, and rivers or lakes too. I think that there would probably be so many
trees, that it would look like a green canopy with kitchen, floor tile. Also, I think that
there would probably be rivers that sparkle like diamonds too. As I have noted, there are
lots of trees, so there is lots of shade for The Wat to do his magical power.
The Active Wolf-Cat has a really awesome magical power! Its power is that it can
transform into any animal with the same body parts. For example, it can change into head
of a panther, body of a tiger, tail of a giraffe, and legs of a wolf. The Wat does this by
going into the dark shade, there is a quick flash like an exploding sun, and it comes out
different. This could be something that The Active Wolf-Cat does for some major fun!
The Active Wolf-Cat has lots of fun everyday. The Wat loves to swim in lakes, climb up
trees, and jump over stuff. (like rivers and things) Also, The Wat enjoys chasing pesky
little animals away. (it may eat the animals though too, depending on what kind of animal
it is) Two other things it likes to do are stand, (anywhere) and sleep under trees or in
trees. The Active Wolf-Cat is a very active creature! As a result, The Active Wolf- Cat is
a very playful sort, and he is a wonderful animal.
"Crash" "Crash" "Crash" there goes The Active Wolf-Cat
with all of its amazing features. Next time you visit a forest with lots and lots of
trees, look around and see if you can find one of these great creatures. All in all, The
Active Wolf-Cat is an incredible creature. |
