Give some thought as to what 2 types of animal groups you would like to incorporate or use and then describe your 'NEW' animal by writing 7 sentences that tells us the different characteristics about your 'nwe' creature and NAME your creature. Then illustrate your creature n Microsoft Word or Kid Pix. Here are web sites to go to after you have handed in your 'NEW' creature along with your 7 sentences stating why it is a reptile AND a bird (an example).
