The Laughing Owl

For the week we have been doing a report writing about an extinct animal from New Zealand. I chose the laughing owl because it sounded very interesting to do and it was. I did the habitat, diet, threats, description, fun fact, it did take a while. Here is my writing about the laughing owl.

Our success criteria was to 

Sequence ideas in order.

Stick to one topic in each paragraph. 

use line breaks between paragraphs.

Habitat

Their habitat was in the forest they slept in caves or on rock ledges and maybe in tree holes and sometimes slept on tree branches. 

Diet

Their Diet is Medium sized birds, frogs, bats, lizards, tuatara, and larger insects, 

Threats

The laughing owls used to be around in 1914 they could have been around in the 1930’s as well but then they went extinct from their threats which are stoats, ferrets, weasels, and rabbits and zoo people and museums wanted them to use in their place to show everyone.

Description

They are twice the size as a Morepork they also have big brown feathers they also have a dash of yellow and have a bit of dark reddish brown on their feathers as well

Fun Fact

They make a very loud crying sound at night and sometimes at day time. If they weren't extinct they could of done some breeding in September or in October.
