The West African Crowned Crane eats grasses, seeds and insects.
These birds live on the coast of the Nile River basin. They live in open landscapes such as marsh areas and grasslands near water. They are about 3.3 feet tall and weigh about 7.7 pounds. They are endangered in most habitats and build their nests in trees. They like to dance too!

Snake Name – Harley
Type Of Snake-Western Hognose
The most interesting thing about this wonderful species is it’s not like any ordinary snake. The fangs are in the back of the mouth and that’s very unusual.
Harley the Western Hognose Snake is located at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. He is full-grown. He has been at the Alligator Farm for five years now, and he is really friendly.

Textbooks have always been a difficult part of classes for me. I’ve paid attention, taken notes, re-read material, but I always find the texts difficult to grasp. I’m not alone. Many students feel textbooks are necessary, but wish they could get more out of them. They don’t see the need for a book when a professor is just going to condense it into notes during class.
