Please don’t think that I can’t see you As I’ve got the most incredible eyes Which move independently from each other Although I’m known as a master of disguise! I reside with my family in Madagascar In rain forests where I live up a tree I can change colour when I want to So I’ll blend so you may not see me! I adore eating lots of tasty insects I catch them when I shoot out my tongue It can project twice the length of my body I’m very proud of my proboscis so long! I am very adept at tree climbing My prehensile tail acts as a fifth limb I’m so lucky to live high up in the trees My forest habitat is my very own gym!

Thanks Lin it was fun to write, I was struggling to think of a good animal and heard the song on the radio and it inspired the poem lol:-) hugs Jan xx
