Amazon 42: Harpy Eagles

Image
 Bismillah,  Remember the post I once published? Named the introduction to Amazon? Well if u haven't read it yet, then I say you might as well visit this link and read it:  https://explolersidra.blogspot.com/2023/10/amazon42an-introduction-of-amazon.html So, now let's start today (intersting) Post!!!  About harpy eagles...  What are harpy eagles exactly, and what do they have to do with the Amazon? You might say, well let me tell you.  Harpy eagles are furious and skilled hunters of the Amazon, they are grey, and have very very big talons, bigger then black bears I suppose. Here is the claw comparison of a human hand and a harpy eagle's claw:  Erm, are u sure monsters don't exist?  Harpy eagles can hunt monkeys, sloths, fish, caypabaras and even snakes! But not humans. Open your arms, as wide as you can, this is how big a harpy eagle's wingspan is when it's flying. Pretty big, right?  Harpy eagles are also excellent parents.  Harpy eagles are the biggest eagle i

My Tree Climbing Experience

Bismillah, Many of us must've climbed trees. But I never thought I could climb trees, let alone sit in one and read a book!  I found a beautiful easy-to-climb tree yesterday. I climbed up to a downhole in the trunk but then came down as I could see no place to climb up further. Then when I climbed the up again downhole I saw that there was a high branch which could help me get more up. With some difficulty, I heaved myself up... That part of the tree climb is the most tiring. I looked around, and it was a fantastic view, I was balanced nicely on the strong supporting branches. I saw a place where I could sit but I also got to know that I had to squeeze between 2 big fat branches to reach there, but I couldn't, the place was too narrow for me to squeeze through anyway. So I brought myself down and went home.  But after a short nap with a purse stuffed with a book (time travelling with Hamster by Ross Welford), a piece of homemade cake and some dates. I went to the park ready to

Mystrey Island: Amber

 Bismillah,  Allen carefully wrapped the bandage around the fox's paw, while the captain held its paw. Sana and I were rummaging through the other cupboards, looking around for anything belonging to my brother or the researchers that had come before us.  Then I found a small box, it had some words squiggled on it. "Captain! Allen! See, I found something!" The captain left the fox's paw, and they both walked to me.  The words on the box were:  Help! For the future researchers!  NOTE "let's see what's inside this box," Sana says "Maybe we should go to and read it out to everyone" Allen suggests  "And let's leave to fox here," the Captain says I place a blanket on the fox to keep it warm and snug, then I handed the box to captain and we went out "Can I read?" I ask the captain when we all sit on the table There were two notes, a ring, a watch and a knife. There was also a dairy that we hadn't opened, yet.  "Sur

The Mystrey Island: What's that

 Bismillah,  Hoping you are all right, so now shall we start our episode?  Let's start now!  I turn on my bed in my room. It's early morning but no one has woke up. I can't sleep.  I step out of my room with my clothes and go to the toilet. When I come out everybody is awake.  "aha! Sarah, here you are! Come to the kitchen we have to go out to do research at 9:30" Yara says to me I'm ready for all the research, we girls are supposed to find new species of creatures, while the boys will measure the temperature and things like that. After breakfast, the captain will choose the leaders of the girls, as the captain won't be able to guide us.  We make porridge and hot chocolate for breakfast. There were also some fruits so I brought that to the table too "Fresh fruits are nessecry, thanks girls, now let's eat" We ate our breakfast, and we all packed some fruits in our backpacks so we could eat them when we got hungry outside.  Then on the breakfas

The Mystrey Island: Reached

 Bismillah,  The fog opens and we see the island uncovered from the blanket of white. The crowd at the deck grew into a collective gasp. It was simply so beautiful, it didn't look as scary as people said, maybe they just said these things to scare people from going in...?  Maybe they were doing some secret work there, and chose the mystery island as the place?  I shake my head to get rid of these thoughts, that won't be possible, maybe— "Okay then, our adventure is just about to begin" I step down carefully at the big jetty made for the ships after the captain, with the other 8 team members including Sana following (if we count the captain and me in, there will be a total 10 members of our team) We walked and walked, it seemed to me that our rest-house was far from the jetty. I glance at my surroundings, the trees crowd over us, the bushes become bigger, and the bird voice is all around. Sometimes a rabbit would dart past us, but I felt like something wasn't just
