We're the atacama fur seals
Desert dwellers by the sea
Don't like to be disturbed much
Bother us and we get moody
We often swim together
But the thing that we like best
Is sitting on the desert shore
And lazing with the rest
We never venture inland
There's no water there for us
But don't deny we're desert dwellers
Then we'll really make a fuss
Sometimes wayward penguins
Dare to invade our home
Then they see our anger
And find somewhere else to roam
There are of course other animals
Dwelling in the atacama sand
But they're nothing compared to us
We hope that you'll understand

Not easy to educate AND entertain with a poem ... you did both!!
These are very appealing sea-lions.
I wish we did understand more...
Yes, you did both-entertain and teach!
:D
I love the creature you chose and the voice that you used to tell us of it, Emma!! Great write and thank you for joining Transforming Friday!!
Never would I have associated seals with the desert! Thanks for educating me.

ah thanks Helen
they're fun creatures, they actually chase penguins for fun and never hurt them
thanks Ella, I'm addicted to natural history programmes on bbc
thanks for setting the prompt xxx
I know, it's crazy isn't it. there are penguin who nest inthe desert as well and have to put their eggs under the sand to keep them cool - our world is amazing
that'd be a great video :)
I remember going out on my first whale watching tour and the boat stopping by a small island of rocks inhabited by hundreds of sea lions - the growly little noise they made was ENCHANTING. I was thrilled right down to my toes!
A poem that teaches..love it!
