Orcas are know for doing tricks in Sea World!

Orcas are know to be called ”Killer Whales.” They are described of the colors back and white and they live in the water. Orcas can do tricks, communicate and can be trained.  Did you know Orcas are whales and are sea animals? If you are unfamiliar with Orcas or killer whales you        might see them in Sea World.

First, Orcas can do tricks. They can do tricks be flipping in the air for food.  You are probably wondering how. Well they keep on practicing over and over again. Their trainers might be throwing food in the air for the Orcas to jump up and catch it. Another trick is back flips. It may look like when Orcas do back flips hrt there backs. But guess what? It doesen’t hurt their backs! Orcas are way to flexiable. Maybe even flexiable than you! The only reason why they are flexiable is because of there blubber. Blubber is the extra meat in Orcas. You can probably see some tricks at Sea World Orca water shows.

Secondly, Orcas can communicate. For example if they are tired or sad there fin on there head bends. That is a signal to the people that are training them. Orcas can communicate to other Orcas because when they swim together they spin under water which says they are happy to be together or they are happy for some other reason. If Orcas are hungry and they are with their trainers. What they will do is that they will just jump straight out of the water to splash their owner. Or what else they will do is that they will try to jump up to the surface were their owner is at.

Lastly, Orcas can be trained. They can be trained to do many things! For example, tricks, communicating, eating a certain way and many more! One main thing the Orcas train a lot is doing tricks. They are being trained to do tricks because they are probably going to be in a show! They can also be trained by eating in a certain way by not trying to leap in the air and catch the food or not jumping out of the water trying to snatch the food out of the hands of the person who is feeding the Orcas. Orcas are also trained to communicate and do body signals! A main thing they do is body signals! They spin if they are happy or if they are excited for some reason they will just jump and do a trick or so!

In conclusion, Orcas can do many cool things. They can do tricks, communicate and even can be trained! Have you ever seen an Orca! I know I have seen one in Sea World!

One place I would travel to is to Brazil. Brazil is located in South America. Brazillians do not speak english. They speak portuguese. For example, one word in portuguese is ”oi ” that means hi in english! On my jorney to Brazil  I would pack warm clothes and good walking shoes. I would pack some extra shoes and pants just in case anything would happe. When I was on my journey to Brazil I had to travel on a plane. When i arrived to Brazil I was suprised by the time! I relized Brazil was 4 hours ahead of time were my parents and sisters lived! One thing I was scared about was that I didnt know how to speak there language.When I interveiwed a friend she said that it is a good idea to pack extra clothes and she agreed with me. She slso said that make sure you pack the right clothes for the right season is Brazil! I have to make sure I check the weather there!

Another place I would travel to is to Paris! The capital of Paris is France. In Paris a language they speak is called french. For example one word in french is ” bon ” in english bon means good. My journey to Paris I would pack boots, coats, pants and long sleeve shirts. Usally in Paris it is windy and cold. On my journey when I arrive to Paris the number one thing that I would do is go and visit the eiffle tower. What would you go do? Then when I arrived to Paris, France I noticed that the time was diiferent. The time was 4 hours ahead of where I used to live at. The time was hard for me to adjust when I was visiting in Paris. I would be sleeping when it was 10 am in Paris and it was 6 am back at my house!

Candy Land was made in 1949 in San Diego, California. The inventor is Eleanor Abbott. She invented it because she just got done healing over an injury and she thought that making a board game will keep her busy. She really loved board games. She thought that making a board game for kids suffuring injuries like she did will make them happy. She soon was making and building the game Candy Land. Soon she finished making the game and was ready to put it out in buisness.

Eleanor Abbott wanted to get the game out in buisness so she put it in a voting buisness.The company would vote for the best game and would want to own the game. Eleanor really wanted the game out in buisness so she decided she wanted to do the buisness vote. One day after the voting buisness Eleanor got called by the Milton Bradley Company and said they wanted to own the game.Eleanor said, ”Yes!” Soon after the Milton Bradley Company owned Candy Land another company owned the game. The company was called Hasbro and which is now know as selling alot of  kid toys and a lot of board games!

In additon, after in 2004 when Hasbro company owned Candy Land there was some how the Candy Land game was updated and then had a lot of diffrent versions. Farther in the years 2013 had  been the most exciting year for the Hasbro company. They started to expand on there Candy Land games and made two diffrent versions. They then started making more and more Candy Land board games. Other companies made diffrent versions of Candy Land too because they got inspired by Hasbro. But still out of the other companies Hasbro was the best seller for Candy Land.

My Favorite Sea Animal

My favorite sea animal is a dolphin. I like dolphins because they are peaceful animals, they can be trained and they can communicate. I also like dolphins because there sea animals! I think it is cool some animals can swim!

First, I like dolphins because they are peaceful animals.They are peaceful sea animals by letting people swim with them or on them. Dolphins are also peaceful because when they swim with humans they don’t attack them for example, like sharks sometimes attack surfers. Dolphins are way different then sharks and some other animals too. That’s one reason why I like dolphins!

Secondly, I like dolphins because they can be trained. For examples, in Sea World there are dolphin shows and dolphins do tricks. Do you know how they can do tricks? Well they learn by hand signals or food. Also dolphins don’t have to be trained just to do tricks. Sometimes dolphins just learn on there own. Dolphins can just leap out of the water to get air. Which is a little trick. Dolphins can be trained by anyone. Some dolphins that are in dolphin shows do big flips out of the water only because they were trained flip after flip. That’s another reason why dolphins are my favorite sea animal!

Lastly, I like dolphins because they can communicate. They can communicate by flipping in the air or squealing. Professional dolphin trainers can tell what they dolphins  are saying by the way the dolphins squeal. If dolphins are hungry they squeal like a squeaky toy. Then dolphin trainers know. Dolphins communicate to water shows if there in the show too. They can communicate by hand signals, tricks and squealing. Dolphins are really good communicating to other dolphins because they toss food to each other for a signal they care about other dolphins. This is all why my favorite sea animal is a dolphin!

In conclusion, dolphins are my favorite sea animal because they are peaceful animals, they can be trained, and they can communicate. The most thing I really like about dolphins is that they can communicate. I think it is really neat. What is your favorite sea animal?Do you like sea animals?
