We have been learning about Banded Kokopu. Banded Kokopu live in the stream in pools under banks, rocks and logs. They have gills, fins, tails, a body, eyes, scales and a mouth.
Banded Kokopu have a life cycle: It starts as an egg which is laid on the forest floor in autumn when the river floods. In the stream the egg turns in a larvae which then turns into Whitebait.
Whitebait are almost see through and humans eat them. After that they turn into an adult and it starts over again.
A Banded Kokpou eats orbweb spiders, cased cadissflies, wetas and mayflies.

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteI am sick of waking up to the sound of beeping! It is quite fun here, I am not missing my schoolwork (do not tell Miss Edwards I said that!). They have almost everything here, they have Playstation and X-Box and Isaac has let me borrow his Gameboy. I hope to come back soon. I am feeling a bit better but I still have to have medicine through a needle in my hand. I also had a camera put up my nose and down my throat.
