Sign: _______________________________ 1) Read the passage and answer the questions given below. (_____/5M) The kingfisher is a small- to medium-sized, colourful bird, generally found close to water bodies. Kingfishers feed mainly on fish but also eat insects, frogs and crayfish. Kingfisher species that live in the woodlands occasionally eat reptiles, birds and even small mammals. Kingfishers are well known for their brightly coloured feathers that range in colour from black to red to green. Due to their generally small size, kingfishers have many predators wherever they exist around the world. The main predators of kingfishers are foxes, raccoons, cats and snakes. Kingfishers are also preyed upon by other small mammals and large birds. Many species of kingfisher are considered to be threatened, as their numbers have been declining due to habitat loss. These threatened kingfisher species inhabit woodlands and forests. Their habitat is being destroyed due to deforestation that occurs in many areas around the world.

(_____/5M) One of the largest land predators ever known, the T-Rex was nearly 40-feet long and 13-feet wide at the hips. Despite its hands being relatively small, they were powerful and had two clawed digits (like fingers).

The T-Rex possessed the most ferocious bite of any land animal on Earth. Its strong teeth could remove flesh from its prey and cut it in its mouth. Also, there were rotting bacteria between its teeth, giving it a septic bite. If it wounded but failed to kill its prey, they would die of fatal infections anyway! In 1990, Sue Hendrickson, a famous fossil hunter, discovered the most complete fossil of a T-Rex skeleton ever found (85% complete).
