3. Rainforest Poem!!! The rain droplets danced and whirled pranced and twirled as they flashed down to the ground. They fluttered and strutted and sent the big leaves spinning round, The Jaguars pranced, The frogs lashed out their long tongues, While the amazing colourful toucans let out their powerful songs, At the end of the day all the animals still and waiting, The owl was always cautious alert and hesitating, As now it was his time, to show off it’s super talent, Of his cruel but wonderful crime.

While Leopards rely on their speed to catch prey, jaguars slowly and silently follow their prey around and when it’s the right time they pounce! Family Female jaguars will have1 to 4 babies at a time. The babies are blind and helpless at birth so mums will stay and defend their children fiercely from any predators including their own father. Things jaguars can do Jaguars are excellent swimmers, they’re also very good at climbing which makes it easy to get to their prey. Sometimes they will even go to sleep in a tree.
