Genets

Genets are a species of mammal related to the mongoose and fossa. They are also highly agile, like the fossa. They have spotted coats, banded tails, large ears, and small heads. Their tails are very long. Their tails are almost one to one and a half times the length of their body. Genets spend most of their time in trees. Most species live in Africa, but one species lives in Southwestern Europe. Genets are mostly nocturnal animals. Genets can crawl through openings as small as their heads.

Diet

Genets are omnivorous. Their diet consists of rodents, shrews, bats, birds, fish, bird eggs, centipedes, millipedes, scorpions and fruits like figs and olives. Sometimes they eat poultry.

Rainbows

Rainbow, rainbow in the rain 
When you disappear it gives me such pain
Seeing you is so much fun
You appear with the sun 

You come with a lot of colors
Blue is one of the colors
With the colors are how you are
We call your colors VIBGYOR

Sawfishes

Sawfishes or carpenter sharks are a species of ray which have a saw like snout. Its snout is used to catch fish. It also has electroreceptors (organs used to detect electrical pulses set off by humans) on its snout to sense passing prey. There is also a shark called the sawshark, but they are very different to the sawfish. There are seven species of sawfish (sawfish are not researched that much). Out of those seven, two live in the USA, two live in Australia, and the rest live in saltwater. The maximum length of a sawfish is 20 feet.

Diet

Sawfish eat small fish. They also eat crustaceans and other ground dwelling animals. Their snout is used as a digging tool.
