Information Report Example

Title  Turtles 
Introduction
Turtles are reptiles. They are cold-blooded, so they need sunlight to keep them warm and active.
Description
Turtles have a hard shell on their back. This protects them from their enemies. Some turtles can even hide their heads inside their shells if they are being attacked!
Turtles lay their eggs on land. Some turtles lay their eggs in sand, then leave the eggs to hatch on their own. When they hatch, the baby turtles scramble down into the water. They have to be quick so that they don’t get eaten by larger animals.
Most turtles eat plants that grow in the water. Some turtles also like to eat meat. These turtles eat small insects, snails and worms.
Conclusion
Many species of turtles are endangered, which means they are at risk of extinction. Humans must work to protect these beautiful creatures.

Owls

Owls are known as birds of prey. They are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and hunt at night.

Owls have forward-facing eyes and a hooded beak. As they do not have teeth, they use their sharp beak to help them tear apart their food. They also have powerful claws which help them to catch their prey. The colour of an owl’s feathers can be brown, grey, white and black. The mix of colours provides a nice camouflage for the owl in their environment.
Owls are carnivores, which means that they eat meat. They hunt insects, small mammals and other small birds during the night.

There are more than 200 different species of owls.
