Sea cows (aka) Manatee is a mammal that was discovered in 1741 and became extinct in 1768, it is one of the few megafaunal mammal species to of died out during the historical period.


The presence of steller's sea cows in the Aleut people to migrate westword to hunt them. This most possibly lead to there extinction in that area. They seemed to float to the surface of water, but had little ability to submerge and Therefore they were easy targets for harpooning by hunters. The sea cow was used supply for russion seal hunters with prized meat, the large sealife manatee has a head shaped like an egg, flippers, flippers and a flat tail. Sea cows are
herbivores. They feed on a wide variety of submerged, emerged, floating and shoreline vegetation.


The sea cow is friendly to humans and enjoy interacting with us. Although called Sea cows they are actually related to elephants, with their large stomachs and fat blubber they weigh up to an astonishing 450 kgs. The adaptation of Sea cows over the small amount of time they were around had to have evolved by the females producing more of their species. By using their mating technique, the males will form a so called herd in which up to a dozen will gather and form a huddle around a single female in an attempt to mate with her. No tusks or claws are found on the body of a male Sea cow so this act of competition to get the females attention consists of pushing and shoving.


In conclusion the now extinct steller's sea cow were a very fascinating creature and a very unique species that has adapted over time.

The sun was boiling out in the dry bushes full of prickles everyone was sweating heavily when someone goes off again 'how long till we get there , he asked in frustration 'only five more minutes and we'll be there the instructor says, those were the most longest most scorching hot five minutes of the trip. Finally the group was there, "here we are the instructor echoed across the valleys, i looked up away from my soggy shoes buried in the hot crystallised dirt full of stones, when we gazed at the most beautiful sight, the crystal green water shined back at our faces, the children smiled they threw their clothes off due to the fact they had togs underneath, sprinting towards the glistening water, children leaped into the pure cold water, h20 bubbles orbed upwards towards the surface still under the water I took soe time to think, how lucky i am.

Student Reflection:
In my writing, one of my goals is to attempt complex punctuation
I did use one of these goals because I used two sentences with complex punctuation

In my writing, one of my goals is to use different sentence beginnings and lengths
I did use this goal in my writing.

My next step is to use paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting detail.

Teacher Comment: Soph, sounds like it was a long walk! You've used some powerful adjectives in this piece of writing to describe what you experienced. Make sure you use the right structure and layout for the task next time. This was a moment in time.
