Green anacondas / by Bankston, John,1974-author.(CARDINAL)703832;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Beginning readers."The green anaconda is the biggest snake in the world. It can weigh 500 pounds. And it can swallow a deer. Baby snakes are about two feet long. Adults can be over 25 feet long. Babies hunt and swim soon after they are born. Green anacondas have jaws that stretch. They open wide. This lets them swallow their prey whole. Green anacondas are fast swimmers. They are slow on land. They hunt at night. When a green anaconda attacks, it squeezes its prey. They wait in water. They enjoy swamps, marshes, and streams. Green anacondas live in the rain forest. Most are in the Amazon Basin in South America. Green anacondas eat fish, wild pigs, deer, and caimans. The caiman is like a crocodile. Green anacondas stay away from people. They don't eat them"--Green anacondas -- Interesting facts -- Parts of a green anaconda.440L

Jaguar / by Lawrence, Ellen,1967-author.(CARDINAL)398769;
Includes bibliographical references and index."It's early morning in the Amazon rain forest. A caiman glides through the waters of a muddy river. Suddenly, with a huge splash, a jaguar leaps from its hiding place on the riverbank. In an instant, the jaguar sinks its sharp teeth into the caiman's thick, scaly skin. The caiman struggles and tries to fight back, but it's no match for the powerful jungle cat. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of its primary-grade audience, this colorful, fact-filled book gives readers a chance not only to learn all about jaguars and their Amazon rain forest home, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. Built-in investigations, such as figuring out how the jaguar's fur pattern helps it to hunt, and measuring the predator's sharp canine teeth, give readers a chance to gain insights beyond the facts and figures." -- GoodreadsAges 5 to 8.580LAccelerated Reader AR
