This summer, a bear swam from the mainland to Cape Cod.people think that a bear is boring so he went travel by swimming. it happening is first on the Cape and new report wrote about that on Twitter and then many people visited and wrote some massages. it is amazing and exciting to see a bear. Now Wildlife worker moved the bear out of the Cape and he went back in mainland.

  3. The article talks about a giant tortoise died two weeks ago, and he was the last one of his kind. This kind of tortoise lived only on Pinta Island. No one knew how old he was, but some experts think he was around 100 years old. Actually experts tried to keep his kind alive, He mated with some other females but it didn't work. Ecuador will put him on display and the purpose is to remind people what we have lost. And hopefully we can protect our plants and animals from extinction.

  4. I read the article Fisherman Finds and Returns Man's Lost Leg
    This article talked about a man that owned a boat to catch shrimp in Florida. He catched a prosthetic leg. He got in touch with me company that made prosthetic legs and they were able to find the owner. A guy with the last name Robinson had lost his leg swimming on a weekend holiday five years ago. The leg was worth 30,000 $ and the fisherman returned it to the owner.
