The Life Cycle Of A Sloth

I am learning to write a life cycle of an animal.

Sloths. They are the cute slow moving animals of the South American jungle. Today I am going to tell you
all about the life cycle of these beautiful creatures.

Sloths are built to live in trees so naturally they also mate and give birth in the treetops. When a mother
gives birth she is often upside down. During the precarious birth the mother pulls the baby from her hind
legs. Other sloths make sure the baby doesn’t fall. Newborn sloths are small and they cling to their
mothers belly for weeks or even months.

Young sloths are like any young animal, they need their mothers care,protection and food. After some
time the young sloth is old enough to start eating leaves and foliage on its own. It still needs its mother's
care but it is more independent.

As an adult, sloths try to find mates. Sloths have a most peculiar way to find a mate. A female makes a
cry or wail, letting males know she is ready to mate. When a male arrives and they mate, males usually
leave and let the female take care of the baby when and if it is born.

So now you know all about the life cycle of the beautiful, slow moving sloth. But they are in danger from
threats like poaching and deforestation. We need to protect these beautiful creatures.

The bullet in my heart

It was a hard day today. Jimmy got shot in the leg. He’s going back home and the nurses think he might survive. They got the bullet out. I spent the afternoon digging out a new trench with some of the other blokes. I’ve been here for two weeks now and it seems like more men are dying each day that goes by. I feel like the war will never end. I feel as if the rest of my life will be full of bullets, guns and trenches. As if I will never be free of this horrible world.
