God Made Animals
Animals and people have been living together on the Earth since day six
of Creation. Since the time of Adam and Eve, men and women have studied God’s wonderful creatures.
We have learned a lot about them.
God made the elephant with a big body and a long trunk.
Some elephants grow to weigh more than a school bus.
Cougars are big cats that live in the wild.
They can jump up to 18 feet high. That is almost twice as high as a basketball goal.
God designed camels with humps on their backs.
Some camels have only one hump. Others have two humps.
Camels store fat in their humps. When they have to go without food for a long time their bodies
use this fat for food. Camels have the ability to go a week (or more) without a drink of water.
The otter’s webbed feet and long tail make it a great swimmer.
Flamingos are pink birds with long legs.
You will often see these birds standing on one leg when they are eating and sleeping.
The cheetah is the fastest land animal on Earth. Is is faster than some cars.
The ostrich is the biggest bird in the world.
Unlike most birds, the ostrich cannot fly, but it can run really fast.
Penguins are another kind of bird that cannot fly. Most penguins live where it is very cold.
The sea horse has a head that looks like a horse’s head.
The sea horse changes colors when danger is near.
Turtles are some of the slowest animals on Earth.
God designed them with a hard shell that keeps most other animals from eating them.
One animal slower than the turtle is the sloth.
It takes a sloth a whole hour to travel the length of a football field.
The biggest animal in the world is the blue whale. This whale is larger than any dinosaur ever found.
The blue whale has a heart the size of a small car.
Monkeys are fun to watch at the zoo. As you can see, God made monkeys different from you.
God created kangaroos with special pouches where baby kangaroos live.
Baby kangaroos are called joeys.
The panda bear spends at least 12 hours each day eating bamboo. It eats more food in one day
than what you eat in a whole week.
Tigers are the largest cats in the world. They can grow to be 11 feet long and weigh 850 pounds.
The bill of a platypus was well designed to gather food from the bottom of rivers.
Rattlesnakes use their rattles to sound a warning when they feel danger is near.
Skunks are some of the stinkiest animals in the world.
God gave them the ability to spray a smelly liquid from beneath their tail when they get scared.
Most polar bears live where it is very cold. God made these animals with a good sense of smell.
Who made sharks to be such good swimmers? God made many different kinds of sharks. Some
are bigger than a truck. Others are small enough to fit inside a toolbox.
Giraffes are the tallest animals in the world.
Their long necks help them find food that other animals cannot reach.
God made the woodpecker with the ability to peck a tree trunk without hurting its head.
God created all of these wonderful animals. Have you thanked God today for His wonderful creation?
