4. Invent a Creature!
Using the list of words provided in the chart below invent your own animal
using Greek and Latin root words.
I have included the latin names of some
insect orders and New Zealand examples of them because they are really
interesting!
For example : kolossosgastrosbindentismareequus
Is my name for the giant bellied two toothed sea horse!
What would be the common name for Lineatio similus tigris?
What about Micro tri cephalo bi ped?
Try to translate into english each others invented
animal.
List the Scientific name of your animal as a comment. Can you guess the English name of what other people have created?
An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.

Toward those short trees
We saw a hawk descending
On a day in spring.- Shiki
Winter seclusion -
Listening, that evening,
To the rain in the mountain.- Issa
