I Love Animals

I have a heart for animals, but not for slugs. I think snakes are cool, but spiders to me are thugs.
Out here on the farm we have cows out the back and sheep in the barn.
I’m not interested in sharks, but dolphins to me are cute. Turtles have shells and cats are beaut.
Sheep go baa, cows go moo, horses go neigh, and our dogs name is blue.
Monkeys love bananas and gorillas love them too. Elephants are big and hippos are too.
Some animals have two legs some have four, some may have six and many have more.
Some animals are extinct, and some are endangered. So, to save them we need to work some more.
Some animals are pets some animals are wild. Some pets are tamed, and some are tired.
