Cheetahs are some of the most interesting animals I can think of and they are our school mascot so why not learn a few fun facts about these cool cats. Cheetahs usually live 10-12 years and weigh 17-143 pounds. They can go up to 59 mp3 and run 60-70 miles per hour. Their slender bodies help them go fast and they are 6-8 feet long. They have excellent eye sight which makes them very good hunters. They hunt gazelles, impalas, and other small hoofed animals. They hunt in savannah and tall grasses so they can not be spotted as easily and only hunt during the day. They kill their prey by knocking it to the ground and suffocating it by biting it in the neck. They quickly eat it so bigger animals from the savannah don't steal it. These awesome cats are quick witted and strong and definitely my favorite animal in the jungle. Madeleine Madura 1

Important Warning If you don t like insects or have Entomophobia also know as insectophobia, then I probably advise you to not read this article Cricket arms As we all know we cannot predict the future but we can always assume the future. By the title of this newsletter you probably know that this article will be talking about crickets. Anyway have you ever thought of eating a cricket in the future? Sure they look weird with their eye and antennas but they may be a part of our diets in the future. 2 Billion People in the world eat insects or arachnids, even in America! Some people have cricket farms where they breed crickets and once the crickets are adult, they are ready to eat. You may be wondering why crickets, why not spiders or even, well if you didn't know crickets are packed with lots of protein and many restaurants are creating cricket shakes such as Wayback Burgers. Crickets may be weird and may not look as yummy but in the future, if food supply is low and the only food that you had were crickets, than you would have to do it. Also, maybe one day you can try to eat a cricket and see how they taste. 6
