Me and my family must fight off the
predators in order to survive.
My smooth,soft fur shines and reflects of
the rays emitting from the sun.
BUZZZT!BUZZZT!The vibrations in my large,
sensitive ears ring inside my head directing
me to my prey above surface or
underground.
Sometimes Barking up the wrong tree can
lead me to trouble and lead me to my
predator, the Eagle Owl.
I wait until night
To be out of sight
And hunt my prey
After the end of day
I am the slyest of them all
Because all I do is crawl and crawl
I am so sneaky
And as you can see very cheeky
Tiptoeing through the darkest of nights
Tiptoeing through the darkest of nights
Never in the bright and out of sight
I am fast across the sand of all the land.
