Sample Answer #1 The animal I created is very small. It’s about the size of a crumb. My animal has really long, thin antennas, and its body has the ability to camouflage in with its surroundings. Sometimes it will be pink, other times it will be brown or white, and sometimes it will be multicolored. It’s really cool that way. My animal has lots of tiny feet. It uses its feet to stand and balance. However, when the animal needs to move, it pulls up its feet into its body and glides across the surface. It is able to do this because its body is super slick and slippery. It doesn’t move too fast but it doesn’t move too slow either.

Sample Answer #2 My animal is about the size of a big dog. The fur is either a brown or gray colored. Sometimes it can be a mix of both brown and gray. It has six legs that help it move really fast. The animal uses its legs to walk or run but it cannot swim or fly. It has lots of really big teeth which help it eat big animals and chew them up. Usually, the animals eat animals such as rabbits, big birds, and snakes. Also, it has a really long pink tongue that it uses to catch things. Finally, it has four ears to help it to hear really well. The animal can hear things from miles away! My animal likes the cold weather so it usually lives in the cold areas in the northern United States. You don’t find the animal in other countries. My animal is not meant to be a pet. Instead, it lives in the wild. If you ever run into one, it won’t hurt you as long as you don’t mess with it. |
