Africa Adventure, Chapter Four

Chapter Four   Jafari had just went to the village to trade. He got a buffalo hide, a chunk of iron and some flint and steel, as his old one was used up. Then he went home, made a fire and started melting some of the iron into a knife. When he was done, he went outside to test it out. he walked to the jungle. He walked along, making notches in the trees, when he saw a red stone in the ground. at first he thought it was just a rock, but he wanted to make sure,so he put it in his pocket and carried it to the village jewel expert. He carefully looked at it, then told Jafari that it was a quarter-carat red diamond, worth about 250,000 US dollars, and offered to buy in. Jafari excepted, and with the money he bought an chestnut Arabian horse, a breed of horse that is the third fastest in the world, after quarter horses and thoroughbreds, has lots of stamina, is stronger than a lot of riding horses and is recognized by its high tail, its head shape and its broad back, and a gun, bull...

Home again + Africa Adventure, Chapter Three

Yesterday we came home from the capital. It was fun there, but I'm glad to be back here. We're also expecting guests from the capital tomorrow, so we have to get ready. Chapter Three left=normal right=king   Jafari was hunting with Leo and paint, when he saw something that surprised him greatly. It was a king cheetah, a rare mutation of cheetah that has spots that join together and three stripes on their back. There are only 60 known king cheetahs left, 50 in zoos and 10 in the wild. Now, back to the story. Jafari knew that he shouldn't kill it, as it was so rare, so he didn't, although if king cheetahs weren't rare he would, as almost nobody has a king cheetah skin.

Africa Adventure, Chapter Two

Chapter Two Jafari had just spotted a serval. He didn't kill it, because he knew that it wouldn't hurt him or his animals, but he was curious, as he didn't see caracals very often, so he went to go see it. He followed it and saw a black several-size cat emerge from the grass. He realized that this was a melanistic serval. The ordinary one walked up to the black one, and started to mate. Jafari didn't want to disturb them, so he crept away.

Africa Adventure, Chapter One

Chapter One Jafari (I changed his name to Jafari becaus e it is an African name, grandma) had just found a herd of sable antelopes, a kind of antelope that lives in groups of 10 to 30, with one male called a bull. He kept them in the cage of hippo and elephant skin with the zebras and oryxs.

African Adventure, Introduction

Introduction Jafari (an African male name) lived next to the Congo river, about half a hours walk from the African rainforest. He had a pet African wild dog called Paint because of his skin pattern, a lion with a black mane that Rob had found five years ago when he was a cub, who he called Leo, and a mixture of zebras and Oryxs in a cage made of hippo and elephant skin.

White Kangaroo

White kangaroos may either be albino or just lacking pigment. They are getting more common, as a dingo fence has been built to stop dingoes getting into south-east corner of Australia.

Albino Whale

Migaloo is probably the most famous whale in the world, although there are three other white humpback whales in the world, called Bahloo, Willow and Migaloo Jr.

Albino Alligator

There are only about 100 albino alligators in the world, almost all of them in zoos. The albino alligator in the picture is called Claude. He is kept in a cage by himself because he is albino and has poor eyesight, and when other alligators are kept in his cage they bite him because he bumped into them.

Snowflake

Snowflake Snowflake was the only known albino gorilla. Because his parents shared 12% of their DNA, scientists think that they were uncle and niece. That and that both of his parents both had rare cases that often lead to albinism is why people think Snowflake is albino. He died of skin cancer in 2003 (Dad saw him once!).

albino animals

In this post I'm going to tell you about albino animals. Albinism is when living things have something wrong with their skin, and it makes them white. Sadly, if things have albinism they have a bigger chance of getting diseases. I'm going to write about each albino animal in a different post, so that you can see the whole thing.

Jaglions/Jaguons

A Jaglion Jaglions, also called Jaguons, are a mixture of a male jaguar and a female lion/lioness. Like most big cat hybrids, the females are fertile, while the males aren't. Jaglions are almost always the same color as their father (the jaguar), most commonly yellowish-brown, but can be black or white (they really can be white!).
