Amazing Animals

In the  Rain-forest we call the
Amazon a great Anaconda
slithers on. Upon trees and
through long grass into water,
stealthily gliding past. An invisible
twenty five foot killer with jaws
that can expand feasting upon
man, you're fully devoured.

The Camel and his  humps
shall quench the desert dwellers
thirst. Trekking him  across a  barren
waterless land to an oasis, the Camel is 
truly one great mammal. 

While the Elephants
trunk can give a good sprinkling of
rain water, just like a cool shower needed
on that hot and  scorching hour.

A feline hunter in the tall grass.
The Lioness is the true huntress.
in waves of colour, blending in like the
breeze itself, she strikes with deadly stealth.

The long tall Giraffe reaches the very top
branches munching atop the trees on
what green leaves he fancies. His neck is long
and slender yet much strength he has. Great
courage to be a defender amongst this land.
