REPORT 2

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to
the mammals, birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers,
although in some types, particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure of the feathers may
be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into
wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds, is very short, and the visible
tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammalsthe only other group of warm blooded animal-the circulation is highly perfected so that there is no
mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is
accomplished, is different in the two groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they have no
external ears. The sense of sight also is very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or lacking,
except in a small few vultures and other birds.

pairs of legs but only two body parts. Insects have three pairs of legs
and three body parts. Spiders have two to four pairs of eyes. They can
see extremely well.
Spiders eat small insects such as flies and mosquitoes, and
sometime bit people. When a spider bites insect, it does not kill the

insect immediately. Instead a special poison passes through its fangs,

and this poison paralyzed the body to the unlucky insects.
Most spiders make their own homes. They do this with a special

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the chimpanzees. Now,
however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a
human being.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for man to
learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds
man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which
both he and the dolphins can understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many stories about
dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

A galaxy is a collection of stars and other astronomical bodies, including planets, comets and asteroids,
held together by gravity.
There are many different physical forms and measurements of galaxies. These include the spiral,
barrel-spiral and elliptical. Our galaxy, called the Milky Way, is approximately 100,000 light years in
width and contains over 100 billion stars.
The centre of galaxies can contain many young, very hot stars as well as older stars. Swirling clouds
that have been energized by magnetic forces also exist in the centre.
At this point in time, no one knows the exact number of galaxies in the universe. Astronomers are,
however, learning more and more about them everyday.
