The Sandflyer
By: Bethanie Gehen

The
sandflyer is a funny looking animal that lives on tropical islands. They are
related to kangaroos. They have two long, scaly legs. Their body is covered
with feathers and it has wings. It has orange feathers and beige scales.
Sandflyers live
in caves and sand burrows. They are used to hot weather. To keep cool they fly
around in circles. Sandflyers use lungs to breath. To get around they fly or sprint
around on their feet.
Sandflyers
eat tropical fruits and toucan eggs. Komodo dragons eat sandflyers. When a
sandflyer sees a komodo dragon, it flies as fast as it can away from the
dragon. Sandflyers know how to fly when they are born. This helps them as young
to stay alive. Sandflyers screech to let
other sandflyers know when there is danger.
One of my
favorite things about this animal are it’s feathers and wings. Those make my animal really unique.
