Giant squid

Giant Squid are the second largest mollusks . Colossal squids are bigger. Giant squids can get up to 43 feet ! They have giant eyes as big as a football . They live deep down in the ocean. They eat deep sea fish . The first picture of a giant squid was in 2004! to catch their prey they use their long tentacles that have suction cups on them. They pull it to their beak-like mouth . They can change the color of their skin to hide from predators. Their only predators we know about are sperm whales . Before 2004 the only evidence we had was parts of Giant squid in whales and on the shore. Giant squids are still mysterious .They move with a tube the blow air out of called the siphon. Some people believe that the legend of the Norwegian kraken was based on a giant squid .They don't look much like snails and clams but they are related . They both have the mollusks muscular foot : Clam muscular foot it uses to dig and move. : Snail muscular foot to slide along on. : Giant squid the Muscular foot is divided into eight arms and two tentacles. They both have a mantle . A layer of protective skin. Clam : its shell. Snail: its shell. Giant squid Hard skin but no shell. The Giant squid has a inner Gladius that supports it. They all are Invertebrates. Giant squid are awesome!

The happy puffy cloud

On the way back from swimming one day my mom and I know what is this beautiful cloud in the sky. We were driving and it was really hard to see the cloud perfectly so I really wanted to take a picture of it and we decided to pull over and stop the car and get out and take a picture. So we did it was a beautiful cloud and it made me very happy I love noticing nature and it's beauty it touches me at makes me happy. I wanted to remember this puffy cloud so here's a picture of it and we often play this game with my mom and my siblings and my dad we lay down in the grass and we look up at the sky and the clouds and think of all the shapes that they're making and use our imagination. Long live creativity and imagination!!!!!

I love to read history. I love all the stories and all the amazing things that I get to learn each day about people from our past that have so much to teach us today. I esp live the ancient civilizations. Alexander the Great was awesome. I will write about him soon. I love this beautiful world we live in. Here is a photo of some birds that we saw the other day.
