Rileys Olympic Zika Virus task

What is the Zika Virus?
The Zika Virus is a mosquito borne that is spread by Aedes species of mosquito that can kill people and put them in very bad condtion. It can also affect unborn babies in that their heads are not properly formed.

How has it affected the Rio games?
Athletes have pulled out of the games because the Zika Virus could affect them and they are worried they'll die.

A solution for athletes and spectators to this problem?

People could find something that the mosquitos like so they would be lured to that spot. Or they could build a border that the mosquitos won't be able to get over. Most of the athletes could wear long tops and pants.

Introduction.🐇
Rabbits are the amazing animals of our planet. Today I will be explaining to you all about their habitat, diet, appearance and protection.

Habitat🏠
Rabbits habitats are usually in meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands. Rabbits live in groups like humans in their family groups. Most Rabbits live in burrows (but what most humans call rabbit holes). Rabbits only live in their burrows from 2 to 3 weeks until they move on.

Diet🍲
Rabbits love to eat fresh fruit and vegetables to give them a healthy diet. Rabbits mainly love to eat tons of fresh hay they could eat it for years and years. Other options of what they eat and drink is fresh clean water, grass and food pellets

Appearance👕
Rabbits are covered in a light coat of fur over their whole body.  Their fur can be in tons of different colors like brown, white, black and ginger. Rabbits paws are like soft pillows but in a rubbery texture.  Rabbit’s nails are very, very sharp so they can claw the attacker. Their nails are like a piece of plastic pole.

Protection🛏
Rabbits  protect themselves by kicking and biting the attacker.  Small Rabbits climb up to 3 metres up a tree to hide from the attackers.  Rabbits are a pest to farmers because they eat all the farmers grass and crops. Hunters shoot rabbits because they're pests.

Thank you for taking your time to read by information report. Now you know all the facts about Rabbits.
