To celebrate World Wildlife Day, we would like to know what your favourite animal or plant is and what it is that you love about them! Perhaps they are important to an ecosystem, or maybe they have an unusual skill (can they adapt to their environment or communicate in a unique way?)

I have been watching a lot of programmes lately about fish and sharks. At the moment I find hammer head sharks quite interesting. I like how their heads are shaped and they look different to other sharks. Some facts I learned about them are that they are not aggressive, so there are not reports about them eating humans. They travel in large groups during the daytime which is called a school and they hunt stingrays.

I love bluebells because they are the first sign of spring and they come out this time of year. Bluebells are protected and you aren’t allowed to pick them or tread on them. They smell really good. My nan used to take my mum out to look at bluebells when she was a girl.
