They are easy to keep at home in aquariums or ponds. Goldfish came originally from China. They can grow up to 1in. (30 cm) long and may live for 20 years or more. 2) The sea horse is a fish, but it doesn’t look like a fish at all. Its head looks like a pony’s, and its tail is like a snake’s. Sea horses can be found in nearly all warm seas. They belong to the pipefish family, and their food is small sea animals and eggs of other fish. Sea horses never eat a dead thing. There are about 50 different kinds or species of sea horses. Sea horses are seen only in the summer and they are known as summer fish. Nobody knows what happens to them in the winter. 3) Once elephants used to inhabit many parts of the Earth. Now they are found in their wild state only in Africa and tropical Asia. Elephants are the largest land animals, and in many ways, among the most interesting. They are wild, gentle and clever. Some of them are easily trained. Indian elephants, for example, can be trained to move and carry heavy things. African elephants are harder to tame. They live almost as long as people. Nowadays most of them are protected by law. 4) Kangaroos live mostly to the south of the equator. They mainly live on grassy plains and feed on plants. There are more than 50 kinds of kangaroo. Red and grey kangaroos are the largest. A red kangaroo may be taller than a man. Grey kangaroos can move at a speed of 25 miles per hour, or 40 km per hour. Their long tails help them to balance. The smallest of all are rat kangaroos. They are about the size of a rabbit.
