=//**__ Glass Frogs __**//= The Glass Frog has translucent skin and is referred to as the see-through frog. The glass frog is about the size of a fingernail and is native to Ecuador and the Amazonian slopes, but it also resides in many areas of Central and South America. Its most prominent feature is its transparent abdominal skin. There are 60 species of glass frogs living in streams in the rain forests of Central and South America. They lay their eggs on leaves that overhang pools, when they hatch they drop into the water below. The smaller species are about 0.78 in (2cm) while the biggest they can get is the "Giant" species males can be 3 in (8cm) and they can live up to 3 1/2 years. Glass frogs eat small insects and leaves (flies, crickets, grasshoppers). And they sometimes eat their babies! Glass frogs are an endangered species, but not because of human, but because of the chytrid fungus that inhabits their home, and kills them. This is our hunger games book trailer we had lots of fun doing it and creating it.

Im reeling, and reeling, until it comes, and look! Two big snappers flopping around on my rod! “Catch of the day!” I say as I bring it in. “Wow Celine!” My mum says. I pick them up with a towel and put them in a box, I hear them flopping around alot. Now I cast my rod out, like im whipping the water. I sit there and jiggle my line around, and wait for a bite. Waitig, waiting. “Ive got a bite!” I say, I reel it in, and i see a glimse of its glimmer. “Its a baby.” I say. So I throw it back. **


 * It is time to go home. We pull up the ancour, and start the boat, now we turn around and go! “Weeeeeeeeeee!!” Its a bumpy ride! “That was quick.” I say, as we arrive at shore.
