Disasters

There has been a series of disasters and my colleagues and I recorded them all here they are.

May 10, 2016

Today we witnessed a disaster we’ve decided to name this disaster “The Big Berry Blunder”.  Me and my colleagues made a very bad mistake of bringing several pints of yellow raspberries, we ended up snacking on those raspberries and several weeks later we discovered a small, thorny, greenish – brown plant growing among the native Jeshamberry plants.  My colleagues and I quickly realized our mistake and burned the plant by our campsite but it was no use everyday we discovered more and more of those plants growing around the island.  A few weeks later the bird expert Kamlei Berg and I discovered dead birds along the island.  Kamalei came to the conclusion that the berries only affected the long beaked birds the small and medium sized beaked birds were not affected and 81% of the long beaked bird population decreased.  Now we’ve noticed that more of the small fruits have increased because of the downfall of the long beaked birds.  The Camouflage Horned Lizard feeds more on the small fruit than the birds because of the downfall in population and the Parvus Mortem Felis the mammal of the island preys more on the Camouflage Horned Lizard because of the shortage of birds.

My colleagues and I have come back to the island after 6 months and we noticed the large amounts of rainfall.  The rain has brought a bluish pale mold that is killing the raspberries and we are happy that the birds are finally laying their eggs.  That means the population of birds will very well increase and the island will be back to normal in no time, all the animals will begin going back to its regular type of lifestyle rather than eating more of something.  We believe that this new type of mold we discovered is native to the island.  If we’ve never seen this type of mold before and no one ever seen this mold before too then it must be native to this island because no one has ever seen this type of mold before and it never was discovered.

Today me and my colleagues were suppose to go back to our island that we haven’t seen in 2 years but bad news was just informed to us.  A volcano is erupting 241.5 km 150 mi upwind of the island.  Because of the size of the eruption the director has delayed our trip back to the island and we won’t be able to see our island for a few months.

YES! We finally get to go back to our beautiful island I’m so excited and my colleagues look pretty excited too.  We have reached the island and already we discovered new things, the ash from the volcano has covered most of the Jeshemberry bushes leaves.  Which leads to the downfall in bushes.  It has begun to rain and the rain is now washing the ashes off the leaves.  The ash has now fallen onto the ground and mixed into the soil.  Surely the mineral content in the soil will increase.  But this led to the extinction of the flies on our island and this has a big impact on the amphibians because the amphibians main source of food is the flies and maggots.  Without flies maggots will now cease to exist on our island.  But since the ashes has mixed into the soil we have come up with the hypothesis that if the ashes mixed with the soil then the Jeshemberry bushes will grow back because of the increased mineral count in the soil.  Since the bushes have grown back now the amphibians will have to eat fruit and fungi.  Now there will be a loss of fruit on our island so the Camouflage Horned Lizard will have to eat less of the fruits as well as

the birds.

This right here is the Batman Island and from this view you can clearly see how it got the name.

The Animals that live on the Batman Island

Camouflage Horned Lizard

Recently the Batman Island was discovered, a new island could mean new species of animals.  That is exactly what was found on the island.  The new species I’m going to be talking about is the Camouflage Horned Lizard; this lizard is very hard to spot.  Why is it very hard to spot?  Because it’s whole body is covered in different shades of green and it lives on the forest floor, the forest floor is covered with green grass.  The only thing not green on the Camouflaged Horned Lizard is the tip of one of its horns.  The tip of the horn is a dark shade of red.  As the reptile expert I have come to the conclusion that the tip of one of its horns is red because to resemble that of a flower or plant.  The Camouflaged Horned Lizard is an omnivore and loves to eat insects, birds, eggs, and small fruit.  Another interesting find about this new lizard species is that it has a beak like upper lip.  I observed this little lizard when eating an egg it uses its beak to literally make a whole in the egg and like a vampire it sucks everything in the egg out so only an eggshell is left.  It thrives in temperatures of 21ºC – 35ºC and 70ºF – 95ºF.  This little critter is very fast which is a good thing because it can catch up to prey if spotted and run away from predators.  The Camouflage Horned Lizard is small so it can really be hidden from prey when on the forest floor.  The Camouflaged Horned Lizard has a short tail and a medium sized tongue.  In conclusion, this new species of lizard is a very interesting new creature and predators will have a very fun time (sarcasm) trying to find and catch this camouflaged speedy lizard.   

Batman Island Bee Frog

When they found Bat Island they also found very interest animals over there. One interesting animal or mammal they found was the Bat Island Bee frog. When they first saw it, it looked like a bee but the colorations was very different it was a dark green to brownish colored body with brown dots all over its body and it a very small tail behind it. There were many different types of the Bee Frog but the main one was dark green to brownish colored. The environment it thrives in 24ºC - 27ºC (75ºF - 80ºF) and its habitats are the wetlands, pond and, stream. The other colored frogs are like green with green dots and the other one actually looks sort of looks like a bee because its body color is yellow/ green with bright yellow dots. Most of the frogs have webbed feet, 98% has webbed feet 2% doesn’t. Most has hind legs very few do not have. Majority of their tongue length is long. The Bee frog eats small fruit, fungi, small flies, and maggots. Leaps and swims away from predators. Most of them leap 30 centimeter (1 foot).

Batman Island Sandpiper

Recently, on the newly discovered island in the Atlantic ocean, a new type of sandpiper has been found. We asked the scientist Kamalei Berg to share some of his research: This sandpiper seems to be well adapted to the grassy regions near the largest water region. Most of them seem to be small and medium. For a flightless bird the wings still seem quite small for most of the birds. Upon further investigation of these birds we have discovered that most of the birds have mostly blue eyes, with some grey, and the rare pink eye. When I lifted up the birds I discovered that there are many heavy and medium ones. Most of their beaks are long, and being suggested from where they live, they seem to live in the heat range of 24˚C – 27˚C (75˚F – 80˚F). The reptiles on this island eat this animal.

The Parvus Mortem Felis

(small death cat)The Parvus Mortem Felis or better known as the “small death cat” is a carnivorous

mammal that is endemic to Batman Island. This animal thrives on the forest floor where it hunts alone, it will eat its prey in Trees so its prey doesn’t get stolen from another one of its species. Its eating habits are, other mammals, wounded animals, flightless birds, and reptiles. The small death cat has powerful legs so it can jump far, the reason being is because when it hunts it uses ambush attacks. It has long fangs to sink into their prey when they get a hold of their prey with their medium sized claws. The coloration of this animal is a yellow with a hint of brown with black spots on it to blend in with plants. Its max speed is 72.4205 km..
