My Explanation writing about Tuataras

This term we have been learning about explanation writing to do this we have been making life cycles about animals.I think I did good at making it really descriptive but I think I have to work on my punctuation.To make a explanation you need to have these things title, introduction, subtitles, stages, technical language and factual information. We watched videos about tuataras and we got given a fact sheet to help us. Do you like Tuataras?






.The Life Cycle Of A Tuatara

This is my explanation about Tuataras I hope you like it.

Egg

A Female Tuatara lays about 10-19 eggs underground. it depends if it is warm the baby Tuataras will be females if it is cold they will be males.It takes about 12-15 months before hatching.




The Hatching Stage

When the babies have hatched they are left to defend themselves also hatchlings have 3 eyes! Hatchling are about 12 to 15 cm´s long.

The Juvenile Stage

For their first 15 years Tuataras are called Juveniles,Juveniles do not mate or have babies.Juveniles avoid adult Tuataras by only coming out during the day to hunt.Juveniles grow scales over their third eye.

The Adult Stage

Adult Tuataras are about 45-60 cms long.Adult Tuataras sleep during the day and hunt at night.


I like Tuataras because they are like mini dinosaurs Also, my goal is to check it makes sense.
