The world's biggest living amphibian is quite special. It is are a relic from the dinosaur era, the males are "den masters" and they can sound like crying babies, but they are now critically endangered.It's not often that you hear an animal being referred to as a "den master". But male Chinese Giant Salamanders are just that. They have underwater breeding dens, usually large hollows under rocks or in crevices, where they allow several females to enter to lay large clusters of eggs. A den master will then guard and care for these eggs for over a month after they hatch.Chinese Giant Salamanders are the world's largest living amphibians, growing up to 1.8m long – longer than a human. They can get pretty heavy too, up to 50kg.In stark contrast, their tadpoles are just 3cm long.Modern giant salamanders are often called living fossils, as they are still so similar to their ancient relatives, remaining pretty much unchanged since the days of Tyrannosaurus rex.But these amazing creatures are becoming increasingly rare in the wild. Since the 1950s their population has fallen dramatically. The growing salamander farming industry is largely to blame, despite being only a decade old. In some parts of the world, salamanders are considered a delicacy, and their sheer size makes it worth catching them to sell.Conservationists are now working hard to protect the species from poaching, and from farmed animals being released into the wild, bringing disease that affects the wild populations.

“So do you really think you’ve been attacked by the malamander, Mrs F?” I say, settling down on an upturned fishing crate beside her. “Oh, Herbie, I really don’t know,” says Mrs Fossil, wincing as she tries to move her

bandaged arm. “I always said I believed in the old stories, but honestly, I was just saying that to amuse people. You know, the tourists we get in the summer? This is our Loch Ness Monster, after all. They come in the shop and ask if I’ve ever seen anything. So of course I tell them yes – glimpses in the sea mist, that sort of thing. It makes them more inclined to buy something. I never actually took the legend that seriously. But now…”“What is the malamander legend, exactly?” says Vi. “I mean, the one everyone knows.

The one tourists talk about.”“Oh, there are lots of different versions, going way back,” says Mrs F. “It’s a monstrous

creature – half man, half fish, half goodness-knows-what – that has haunted these misty shores since before there was ever a town on Eerie Rock. They say it can sometimes be glimpsed as midwinter approaches, as it searches for somewhere to lay its magical egg.”“Magical egg?” Vi says. “What kind of magical egg?”“Oh, the grants-you-your-dearest-wish kind.” Mrs F chuckles, with a return to her

usual cheerfulness. “The whole makes-your-dreams-come-true shebang! But of course, you only get that if you can take the egg. And to take the egg, you have to defeat the malamander.”“Which no-one can do,” I throw in, remembering the first time I heard the tales too.

“On account of it’s hideous spikes and steely scales and it being, you know, a monster.”“The next day, when its mate never comes, it eats up that egg and slinks back into the

deep for another year.”“But people have tried to take it?” says Vi, after a thoughtful pause. “I mean, in the

stories. Have people tried to steal this amazing wishing egg?”“Oh, endlessly!” Mrs Fossil chuckles again. “Heroes galore in the legends. Every single

one of them –” she rolls her eyes and waggles the fingers of her good hand in a way she probably thinks is spooky – “gobbled up by the beastie!”Violet doesn’t smile.

Amphibian and Reptile Life Cycles

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z2mjmp3

Amphibians vs. Reptiles Amphibians and reptiles are both classes of living things that are cold-blooded and have backbones.

Amphibians begin life in water, where the soft eggs are laid, and they later mature on land. The class includes frogs, toads, newts and salamanders. Amphibians begin life breathing water through gills, and grow to breathe air through their moist skin as well as through lungs. However, they cannot live in dry conditions as their skin needs to stay damp. They are found worldwide, especially in tropical areas. The term "amphibious" can also be applied to a vehicle that functions on land or air as well as in water.

Reptiles lay eggs, are covered in scales, and breathe air through lungs. They generally have short legs and long tails. Their skin is dry and has scales. Because they are cold-blooded, they usually live in warm climates or hibernate during winter months. They can even survive in deserts. Some of the earliest-known reptiles were dinosaurs. Modern reptiles include crocodiles, snakes, lizards, and turtles.

The main difference between amphibians and reptiles is that amphibians live underwater for at least part of their life.

L.O.: I understand the lifecycle of reptiles and amphibians.

For each question, give the answer as A) reptiles, B) amphibians C) both

1. Have scaly skin

2. Lay eggs

3. Have a larval stage (newly-hatched young that look different to the adult) before changing (metamorphosing) into an adult

4. Lay eggs in water

5. Shell-less, soft eggs

6. Lay eggs in water

7. Skin needs to be wet or they can’t breathe

8. Newly-hatched young look the same as the adults

Activity: Create a diagram showing the lifecycle of an amphibian (frog,

newt, toad, salamander) or a reptile (crocodile, turtle, snake, lizard).

SalamanderSalamander is a type of amphibian, close relative of frogs and toads. They live mostly in wet areas near the lakes and ponds. Most species live part of their life in the water, and part on the land. There are 500 known species of salamanders, many of these are endangered due to habitat loss and pollution. Interesting Salamander Facts:• Salamanders vary in size. Minute salamander is the smallest salamander, reaching only 1.1 inches in length. Chinese giant salamander is the largest

salamander, reaching over 6 feet in length and weighing of up to 140 pounds. • Salamanders look like lizards but have smooth and glossy skin. • Just like all amphibians, salamanders have four limbs, with four toes on their front legs, and five toes on their hind limbs. They do not have claws. • Salamander's skin is highly sensitive to environmental pollution because toxins easily pass the skin and reach inner organs. If there is a large

population of salamanders that means that environment is clean, and vice versa. • Some salamanders are brightly coloured, some others are not. It all depends on the amount of the pigments in the skin. • Light-coloured species spend most of their time hidden underground, or in the dark caves. Body coloration, especially bright colours, indicates that

animal can be poisonous. Their skin is covered with mucus which contains bitter substances which make them inedible (poisonous) for predators. • Another important technique used against the predators is known as "autotomy" or an ability to reject a limb or a tail when animal needs to escape

from the predator. • Salamanders can regrow a missing limb or tail. • Salamanders breathe using the lungs, gills or their skin, depending on their life style (water or land). Aquatic forms have gills located behind their

head, as a bushy mass. Animals which breathe by skin have a dense capillary network in the skin, which is used for the gas exchange. • Salamanders eat worms and insects. Some species have tongue which can be ten times longer than their body. • Salamanders can live very long period of time. Chinese giant salamander can live up to 55 years

European Eel Life cycle

2. Give a verb in the simple past, present and future tenses.

3. Find a verb in a progressive tense.

4. Summarise the eel’s journey from egg to spawning in 10 words, only using adjectives and nouns.

5. Write a question, statement, command and exclamation about the article.

The European eel looks like a snake but is actually a fish, It has been the source of a mystery since the 4th century BC in Ancient Greek times. No-one has ever seen a European eel mating, and no-one has ever seen an egg. So, how do they reproduce?The Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, speculated that they were born from earthworms, which in turn her thought were born from mud. He was wrong! Eels used to be very common – everyone ate them, even the poor. Ely was so named because of the abundance of eels in the watercourses there. However, recently, biologists realised that populations had dropped by more than 99% in the last 25 years. To find out what’s going wrong and with the aim of protecting the species from extinction, scientists attached radio tags to eels in UK rivers. These freshwater fish surprised everyone by setting off on an epic 6000km migration to the Sargasso Sea across the Atlantic Ocean to spawn and die somewhere in the Sargasso Sea, a vast area of the Atlantic off the east coast of the United States and north of the Caribbean. The actual location of the breeding area has still not been identified and spawning (laying eggs) eels have still never been seen.The adults mate, lay their eggs and die, and the elvers (known as glass eels, and once thought to be a completely different species, set off on the journey back, though no-one knows the route, or how long it takes them. This amazing journey involves them changing between freshwater and marine environments, which is very unusual.

Many countries have noted that the number of sea turtles, which are an endangered species, are currently on the rise because of lock down. This is because there are fewer people visiting beaches at the moment. As a result, there's been less disruption and there's also a lot less waste being left behind us humans. Unfortunately, all sea turtles species are endangered and this is largely down to human activity. Sea turtles' chances of survival are already quite slim. It's thought that for every 1,000 eggs laid, only one will end up reaching adulthood and the ones that do make it face lots of other threats. Many are hunted by poachers for their eggs, shells and skin and some are also find themselves caught up in fishing gear. They can also become entangled in plastic waste found in oceans and some of this debris can even get into their bodies. Lights from seaside resorts can also confused baby turtles - or hatchlings - sending them inland instead of where they need to go to survive - the sea. Beach umbrellas also damage turtle eggs buried under the sand - meaning they won't hatch.Sea turtles can live up to 50 years and have life spans that are quite similar to humans.Male turtles don't leave the ocean once they've entered it, but females come out to lay their eggs on sandy beaches during nesting season. They wait decades before they return to the beaches where they were born, to nest, and they can lay between 65 and 180 eggs at a time. Sea turtles can travel incredibly far distances throughout their lives. The leatherback turtle can travel more than 10,000 miles in a year, while loggerheads can travel up to 8,000!Sea turtles migrate thousands of kilometres across seas and oceans to mates, nest and feed. Hatchlings will return when mature 25 to 30 years later, to the same beach on which they were born to lay their own eggs using some of the most remarkable feats of orientation and navigation. However, nesting beaches will, during a season, also accommodate hundreds, even thousands, of tourists who may unknowingly affect incubation of the eggs or destroy nests or prevent hatchlings from reaching the sea, by spreading towels, setting up umbrellas, playing games, making sand castles and riding horses. Shadows from towels, beach furniture, and umbrellas over the nests affect temperatures and subsequently affect the sex of hatchlings (cool temperature results in mostly males, warm in mostly females). Lights from hotels and developments close to the beach can disorientate hatchlings and prevent them from reaching the sea at night. Those that don’t make it to the sea will not survive. . It is no wonder that only an estimated one in 1,000 hatchlings reaches the age to reproduce! Between exhausting nesting sessions, female turtles rest on the surface of the water to recover their strength, facing a great risk from lethal speedboat propellers and buzzing jet-skis. Many turtles have been maimed or killed in this way. Land and sea borne small garbage (e.g. plastic wrappings) can be ingested by sea turtles in mistake for food, often leading to their death by choking, starvation or internal injury. Throughout their lives, turtles of differing ages and species travel extensively throughout the Mediterranean Sea. During their movements, the turtles come into contact with a great deal of fishing activity, nearly all of which is potentially lethal to them. It is estimated that at least 6000-8000 Mediterranean sea turtles are caught by fishing activities every year (Demetropoulos).Despite extensive research, publicity, and an increased public concern for their conservation, sea turtles, especially greens, remain under serious threat of extinction in the Mediterranean. Lack of enforcement of national and international laws, conventions, and European Community directives is largely due to ignorance and indifference on the part of individuals, policy makers, and authorities. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play an important role in sea turtle conservation throughout the Mediterranean through research, public awareness, and environmental education projects.

5. Draw and label Thalassa and Pontus

THALASSA was the primordial goddess of the sea. Mingled with Pontus, her male counterpart, she produced the fish and other sea creatures. Thalassa was the literal body of the sea and in the fables of Aesop (a famous Ancient Greek storyteller), she manifests as a woman formed of sea-water. Poseidon and Amphitrite, the king and queen of the sea, were the rulers of the elemental Pontos and Thalassa.Thalassa is depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a matronly woman, half-submerged in the sea, with crab-claw horns, seaweed for clothes, and a ship's oar in her hand.

Aesop, Fables 245 C6th B.C.: The Shipwrecked Man. A shipwrecked man, having been cast upon a certain shore, slept after his buffetings with the deep. After a while he awoke, and looking upon Thalassa (the Sea), loaded it with reproaches. He argued that it enticed men with the calmness of its looks, but when it had induced them to plow its waters, it grew rough and destroyed them. Thalassa, assuming the form of a woman, replied to him: ‘Blame not me, my good sir, but the winds, for I am by my own nature as calm and firm even as this earth; but the winds suddenly falling on me create these waves, and lash me into fury.’

Aesop, Fables 258 (from Syntipas 4) : The Potamoi (Rivers) came together in order to make a complaint against Thalassa. They told her, ‘Why is it that we come to you with waters that are sweet and fit to drink, but you change them into something salty and undrinkable?’ In response to the Potamoi's criticism, Thalassa replied, ‘Don't come to the sea, and you won't get salty!’"

“It’s the same book your parents were dispensed, Violet,” Jenny says. “That last night before they disappeared.”

Violet picks up the book again and stares at it, open-mouthed.“The truth is, I knew your dad well,” Jenny continues. “That old mermonkey must have dispensed

dozens of books to him over the years. In fact, it’s probably down to Peter that it’s still working at all.”“Really?” says Violet.Jenny gives a rueful smile. “The mermonkey used to break down a lot, so I took to getting in new

parts to mend the mechanism. Peter put a stop to that. He said that I had to fix the original part, no matter how twisted the lever or how worn the gear. He once even stopped me from changing its tatty old hat for a new one. He said that the magic wouldn’t work if I changed a single thing. So he patched that old hat up himself, and its still there to this day. And so is the magic.”

Jenny gets to her feet and walks over to the shop counter, behind which there are hundreds of cuttings, postcards and pictures. She pulls something off the wall, and comes back to hand it to Violet.

“Your father often stayed here for weeks at a time,” says Jenny. “There are rooms upstairs, and I’m happy to put people up, especially if they’ve come a long way to consult the mermonkey. Peter was here a great deal at one time, because of his work.”

I lean over and see that Violet is holding a photograph. It shows a scholarly-looking black man with large glasses and a close-cropped beard. He looks serious but somehow playful at the same time, as if he was snapped just at the moment he was about t o break into a smile.

Violet is staring at the photo with bright eyes. It doesn’t look like she can speak right now.“You can keep the photo, of course,” says Jenny.Then I spoil the moment by making a rude slurping noise with my cocoa. “When you say his work,” I

blurt out quickly, “you mean his writing?”Jenny nods. “Peter Parma was a brilliant folklorist, who loved our old legends. One legend in

particular.”“The malamander,” says Violet. She opens the book and slips the photo inside.“I don’t think anyone in the world knew more about that story than Peter,” Jenny says. “He was

obsessed with it, by the end.”“I’ve met another writer who calls himself that.” Violet brushes the last of the sand from the cover of

her book. “An expert on the malamander, I mean. And that’s Sebastian Eels.”Jenny pokes the fire.He knew my dad too, didn’t he?” Violet says.Jenny stares at the poker in her hand for a moment. Then she shoves it into the wood scuttle.“Oh yes,” she says. “They new each other all right.”

4. Why might Black Shuck not, strictly speaking, be studied by cryptozoologists?

5. Write sentences that use the past, present and future tenses to explain details in the article.

Cryptozoology is the study (-ology) of unknown or hidden (crypto-) animals (zoo-). This usually involves larger animals that are unverified by science, such as Yetis, Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, and Sea Serpents, as well as hundreds of other yet-to-be-found animals (cryptids) worldwide. For many of these, compelling evidence (in the form of stories, folklore and rumour) has been collected for their possible existence.

Many of the creatures of most interest to cryptozoologists are actually not, strictly speaking, actually unknown. For example, the so-called Beast of Bodmin (possibly known species just in an alien environment) and the Norfolk’s Black Shuck (perhaps not even animals that are alive). These creatures are more broadly known as ‘cryptids’. And as no-one knows whether a cryptid is actually an unknown species of animal, or a supposedly extinct animal, or a misidentification, or just a myth until evidence is gathered and accepted one way or another. Until that proof is found, the creature carries the label cryptid.

Scientists who study these creatures are known as cryptozoologists, and there are is even an international cryptozoology museum. Here, there are displays of a widerange of exhibitions from rare, one-of-a-kind scientific, zoological specimens, photographs and exhibits (such as casts of Yeti footprints). The International Cryptozoology Museum has as its primary mission to educate, inform, and share cryptozoological evidence, artifacts, replicas, and popular cultural items with the general public, media, students, scholars, and cryptozoologists from around the world.

5. Use three persuasive techniques to persuade me to visit Hunstanton.

In 1846, Henry Styleman Le Strange (1815–1862) decided to develop the area south of Old Hunstanton as a sea bathing resort. He persuaded a group of like-minded investors to pay for the construction of a railway line from King's Lynn to the town: the railway would bring tourists and visitors to Hunstanton. It was a great success (the Lynn & Hunstanton Railway became one of the most consistently profitable railway companies in the country). In 1861, Le Strange, as the main landowner, became a director of the railway company and by 1862 the line had been built. Hunstanton was ready to take off commercially. In the same year Le Strange died at the age of forty seven, and it was left to his son Hamon to reap the rewards of his efforts. As a mark of his intentions, in 1846 Le Strange had moved the ancient village cross from Old Hunstanton to the new site and in 1848 the first building was erected. This was the Royal Hotel (now the Golden Lion), the work of the famous Victorian architect, William Butterfield, a friend of Le Strange. Overlooking a sloping green and the sea, and for several years standing alone, it earned the nickname Le Strange's Folly. In 1850, Le Strange, an amateur architect and painter, paid a land agent to survey the site and prepare a layout, while he himself drew and painted a map and a perspective of the scheme, showing shops, a station and a church. He consulted William Butterfield on the design of the development plan. Their shared passion for a style known as Victorian Gothic Revival – a style with tall, pointy windows as well as fancy carved stone or brickwork, towers, balconies, fancy ironwork and grouped decorative chimneys.
