mountain goat

Mountain Goats.

Mountain goats are white fluffy animals that like to be up in the high ranges.

The mountain goat family are very close relatives to goats, but they are not really in the goat family, they are in the antelope family.  They are mammals.

Mountain goats have two layers of fur.  Their fur turns yellowish in winter and the second layer falls off in summer.  They have two layers on their hooves as well as their fur.  They have soft pads on the first  layer of their hooves then a hard pad on the second layer. The edges are harder than the middle because they use them for digging into hard rocks or ice.  They have a long face with a little beard at the end on their chin.  Mountain goats have black curly horns with a short tale like a sheep.

Mountain goats can get up from six foot to two meters high.Their shoulder  height is 3 to 3.5 foot . Their length can get up to an amazing five feet long.mountain goats weight can get from 45.3 kg to 136 kg.

Mountain goats live from the north-western United States to Alaska. Mountain goats live on high rangers where there is lots of snow fall and it is about 8000 ft above sea level.

Mountain goats are very special to Alaska and can be very lovable creatures once you get to know them so please don't go hunting for them.

The Bush Tramp

The bush tramp

Bang!!!! My mum dumped a humongous pile of leaves, branches and supple jack next to a old shaggy tree where twigs had been blown down by the strong winds onto soft muddy ground. We were at our unties mums batch with our cousins.  My mum and I were collecting up all the leaves  and twigs from the tree that fall down before we got here.we were collecting it all up into one big pile and the big pieces we used for firewood. we started putting all the twigs and leaves onto our little dump that we had made. we tried bouncing on the dump to squish it all down, and we found  that it was a little bouncy. We snapped a few sticks off the tree and put them on to make it even more bouncy. It slowly got bigger and bigger.We added a few more bamboo on and another layer of leaves to cover the bamboo just to give it a finishing touch.

Dad

Dad

“If you be good this week I might take you hunting” my dad would say. My dad has dirty black short scruffy hair, he is 6 feet tall,has green eyes and his hands are as big as dinner plates.  He has light yellow teeth with light tan skin. Every morning he gets his work shirt on with a singlet underneath if it’s cold. He wears some dark blue shorts and although he comes home smelling like sweat he showers every day.Sometimes he can get really angry like when he gets sick of telling us to do the same thing all the time.

He always tells us to do the same thing all the time. It is sad that we can not play with him time because he is always working which is sad. He can get really angry and grumpy sometimes   because we don’t listen to him. When  we are on special occasions like going to the beach he is really nice to us by buying us ice creams.  

When we go hunting my dad normally leads the way because it is pitch black, we don't use torches because it will scare the deer away. We can not see and there might be a hole or a big mud puddle. You just never know. I am always getting ready for an dangerous adventure. We always get back to the tent late because we are only focused on shooting a deer.We whisper to each other because we think we see a deer and we cheek it with the scope which are kind of like a pair of binoculars.

Whenever my dads friend Tim comes over you can really spot his interests are. Whenever my dad and tim are skinning the deer I always get my pocket knife out and ask if I can help but sadly it never works. A couple of days ago three of our guns got stolen but now he has one good gun that is worth all three of the guns .Now he tries harder not to lose this one we have this cup that

My dad tresures really well. he says there are only about 20 in the north island“

Come on cam lets go hunting because you have been good this week.” He says happily

We also learnt how to go from shade-dark to tint-light.For drawing we did quite a lot of different textures that we knew like thin/thick lines, straight lines, wavy,dark,light,hatching, cross hatching, detail, form and atmosphere. one we had finished learning all that we painted a painting of the mountains. Mrs Morton painted a demonstration for us and here is what my painting looks like  

lake kiriopukae

lake Kiriopukae

I liked running around the lake best because its fun going over and around obstacles.

Research

The length of this walk is:1.14km.the very highest of this is: 626m and the lowest point of this walk is :580m but that is still is pretty high. the time at lake Kiriopukae sunrise is  7:23 and sunset is 16:56. it is a 45 minute return.

On the 27/5/2013  we were on a school trip with our class  room 17 at Camp Kaitawa. This day of camp we we were going on a walk to a lake called Lake Kiriopukae and we ran around it.  

Next time.....

Next time I would like to try to climb a bigger rocks and and I would like to try to run around a bigger lake in a faster time.  I enjoyed pacing myself against John and Daniel and trying to beat them.

By the way, you should try running around lake Kiriopukae it's real fun.
