For Choir my teacher Mrs.Doomer said we have auditions to do a solo or a group solo. Everybody basically raised their hands and said they want to do solos. My friend Sophie and my other friend Merisa are going to do a group solo. And the song that we are going to do is the " Lost is Found" song. And Everybody is going to practise it next Tuesday. It's going to be lots of fun!
Mrs.Doomer wants us to practice this. -Confidence- standing tall, strong voice that projects, open mouth, bright eyes, and face
-Tone- a warm, pleasing tone that is supported by the breath; neither forced nor weak
-Words- lyrics are correct, understandable, and well enunciated
-Enthusiasm/connection with the message- Do you believe what you are singing? Do you mean it?
-Prepared- is it obvious that you practiced and are ready? (Memorized, or very close to it is best!)
I am going to try and practice all by singing every day and try to get better at it and practice by standing up tall. And mesmerize the words and get it all correct. And smile nicely. If we do all those things we might actually get to do a solo group for the performance I really hope we do get to do a group solo.
Coyote Peterson is in Japan. He is trying to find a Japanese Ground Snake. He found a Japanese Ground Snake!
Coyote Peterson said the Japanese Ground Snake is pretty rare. He also said the snake is non-venomous. He said he thought it was a Rubber Boa because the Japanese Ground Snake's head looks just like a Rubber Boa snake. He also said the snake is fossorial which means they live underground.
Coyote Peterson said the Japanese Ground Snake is a very fragile species so he does not want to move it around a lot. Like he does with other snakes that he had caught before and he is going to try to keep the snake in one spot. And he said The snake can't be in sunlight. And if it is in the sunlight it could die in a matter of hours.
Coyote Peterson said when he was looking for the Japanese Snake he said in the forest of Japan is a great spot to try and find the snake. Coyote Peterson said the snake has very poor eyesight and they can only sense light and movement. And they rely mainly on their tongue to pick up chemicals. And they also use that tongue to detect predators and search for their prey.
The Japanese Ground Snake eats small amphibians and likely small insects.
Coyote Peterson is in West Virginia. He is trying to find a Black Rat Snake. He found a Black Rat Snake!
Coyote Peterson said Black Rat Snakes are not venomous. He also said Black Rat Snakes also have teeth but their teeth are very small and they won't necessarily hurt you but they do use them to garb prey and they also actually constrict their prey because they have no venom.
Black Rat Snakes eat, mice, rats, and small mammals. And they will go up in trees and rob birds' nests of baby birds or unhatched eggs. Coyote Peterson also said Black Rat Snakes are very good climbers. He also said Black Rat Snakes are one of the largest snake species in the United States. And they can grow to about eight feet in length. And when the snake is a baby it's called neonate, their grey with a little bit of pattering. He said it's a little hard to identify when their baby's. He also said while they may be called Black Rat Snake. But it's actually not completely black. He said while they can be a very dark shade but sometimes they have a very light belly. Coyote Peterson said the Black Rat Snake is very camouflaged in the grass.
I wish I had a Black Rat Snake it would awesome to have one.
Coyote Peterson is in Australia. He is trying to find a Sydney Funnel Web Spider. And when he does find it he wants to milk it.
The Sydney Funnel Web Spider has fangs. And when the Sydney Funnel Web Spider bites you the fangs are so long that it will actually hold on to you. That sounds very scary. Just think of the spider holding on to you and not letting go. And the fangs have so much venom that they can kill you.
The reason the Sydney Funnel Web Spider is so dangerous is that they're often found in people's back yards. And that is why people are telling each other to wear gloves because when you're pulling out weeds and dirt you might accidentally grab onto the spider and get a bite from it.
The Sydney Funnel Web Spider is the most dangerous spider. And if you get a bite you will haft to go to the hospital immediately. I would never even want to hold a spider at all. Well if it was not one that is venomous then most likely I will hold it.
Coyote Peterson found a Sydney Funnel Web Spider under a log! He had his container but the spider was too big to fit in there so Coyote Peterson asked Mario the camera guy if he had a bigger container and he said yes he does so they finally got the spider in it. Coyote Peterson said the Sydney Funnel Web Spider can't jump but it can lunge forward fast. He also said the way that you can tell between a Sydney Funnel Web Spider is it has a very bald cephalothorax. And they do have a little bit of hair on their legs and their abdomen. And that's how you can recognize a Sydney Funnel Web Spider. I hate hairy spiders they are so creepy to me.
Coyote Peterson said where to look for Sydney Funnel Web Spiders are under logs. And they will also be inside burrows too. He also said never put your hands underneath a log because the spider can bite you and think your prey. Coyote Peterson didn't put his hands underneath the log thankfully.
When it started to get dark Coyote Peterson said e need more light. So Mario and Mark set up all the lights. And when they finished it was already night. And the spider had already was webbing the container. And Coyote Peterson said he is going to take out the spider for everyone to see the spider better in the light. Coyote Peterson also said the Funnel Web Spider is also extremely aggressive.
Coyote Peterson said they are going to take the spider back and go to the Australian Reptile Park to milk the spider. And get the venom out of it and they can actually use the venom to save lives.
