animals of ocracoke

By Max

Hi, it's Max. I am on Ocracoke Island. It is pretty cool. The animals are especially cool. Here is a list of what we've seen so far.

1. Ponies: We were at the beach having a lot of fun. Then we saw that there were wild ponies in a pen across the highway. Henry tried to run into the highway. He got in big trouble, he got spanked, and he did not get to go see the ponies [Henry: And THAT'S why I'm still mad. I told you I will never stop being mad!] So me and Liam got to see the ponies. First we went on a platform to see all the ponies. Then we got to pet the ponies and feed them some hay. Mom took some pictures. They turned out cool.




2. Crab: This morning we went to the beach to watch the sun rise. It was Mom, Liam, and me. We came down the stairs of the boardwalk, and we saw something moving. It was a ghost crab! It was really cool.



3. Seagull: We've seen a ton of seagulls. On the ferry, there was guy who was feeding the seagulls potato chips. The seagulls flew into the water and dived down to get the chips. It was not a good idea for that guy to feed the seagulls. Then today at the beach there was a seagull that was flying around us in circles. It was pretty close to us! Luckily, it did not poop on us.




4. Snake: After dinner tonight, we went to a nature trail. We were on the nature trail, which was pretty cool, then Mom and Dad saw a big snake! Then we went up a couple of dunes. On the walk back I saw the same giant snake going across the path. The kind of snake is called a cottonmouth. They are poisonous [Mike: They are VERY poisonous.] Mom got a picture of its tail but it was really big.
