Long- eared jerboas look like mice. With their long ears, they also remind people of rabbits. Their ears are much longer than their heads. They live in the deserts of Asia. On the sand, they jump like kangaroos! What a cute animal!
Kiwis are birds,but they can’t fly. Kiwis can be as big as chickens. Like all birds, they lay eggs—big eggs. People call them Kiwis because they make the sound: keee—weee. Kiwis live in New Zealand and are a national animal of the country. Do you like them
Long-nosed monkeys live in Southeast Asia. They are famous for their large noses. Their noses are as big as eggplants! When the monkeys are happy or excited, they shake their noses. That’s funny!
