A giraffe’s long tongue can wipe its eyes
    And also clean its ears.
Its sight and hearing’s critical
    With lions living near. 

​

The polar bears have thick white fur,
    And skins as black as night.
A seal knows he’s their favourite dish
   And wise ones hide from sight.

​

An ostrich, with its powerful legs,
   Of course, can move with speed
But those big legs are super-strong:
   They’ll kill when there’s a need.

​

A beaver’s teeth just grow and grow -
   To keep them short, they’ll gnaw.
So should one wish to leave your home
    He’ll just gnaw through your door.

​

The tiger wears distinctive stripes.
    Its coat’s an awesome sight.
It’s the largest feline in our world

    And hunts for food at night.

​

By sound waves bats locate their prey.
    Their echoes can’t be heard,
But bats are mammals, just like us,
   Yet fly just like a bird.

​

All zebras have terrific speeds,
    Like any other horse,
And, when a lion is on your tail,
    You’ll move at speed, of course.

​

The creatures living in our world
     Are awesome, that’s for sure,
And if, like me, you’re interested,
     You’ll want to learn much more.
