My name is Raheal and I want to share what my wild self is. I have monarch butterfly wings, domestic rabbit ears, a peacock crest, anaconda snake tongue, Grevy’s zebra hooves, and a seahorse tail. I live in Central park zoo, New York. I have a lot of friends that I can’t name all. This is everything about me.
Peacock crest- I have a crest of feathers on top of my head. Other peacocks have this as well.
Domestic rabbit ears- Animals like rabbits have to be on the lookout for danger all the time. My large ears can help me listen for trouble.
Anaconda snake tongue- My snake tongue can smell with its tongue. Its forked anaconda tongue collects sent molecules from the air and it brings them back to tiny grooves in the roof of their mouth letting them “taste” the air.
Grevy’s zebra hoofs- I can get up and start running. I can stand up for 6 minutes after being born and can run after 45 minutes.
Pot bellied seahorse tail- My seahorse tail has a long, prehensile, tail which can curl around things such as seaweed to keep from being swept away by currents.
Monarch butterfly wings- My monarch butterfly wings can beat 5 times per second.
