Answer 2

Conejo

Here in Minnesota, we have a large assortment of animals. But my favorite are the rabbits. Unfortunately, my trigger happy brother shot all of ours with his plastic gun and scared them all away.

Aquí en Minnesota, tenemos un gran surtido de animales. Pero mis favoritas son los conejos. Lamentablemente, mi hermano de gatillo fácil de todos nosotros disparó con su pistola de plástico y los asustó.

Answer 3

The Kiwi / El kiwi

Sooo cute! Have you ever seen one close up? (Stupid question, but I know I never have!) - Findy, Mar 6, 2014

not a little one like this but a big one yes, but of course they are nocturnal so you can only see them at night - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 6, 2014

Answer 4

Creo que hay carboneros de capucha negra que hacen sus nidos en las casitas de pájaros que he colocado en mi jardín.

Answer 5

Giant Mantaray

Mantarraya gigante

Answer 6

In Canada we have harp seals, but maybe not for much longer because hundreds of thousands of the babies are being skinned alive each year. Canada is not an honourable country. Shame on Canada!

En Canadá tenemos las focas arpa, pero quizás no por mucho tiempo porque cada año cientos de miles de las crías de foca están siendo despellejado en vida. Canadá es un pais de deshonra. ¡Avergonzar a Canadá!

Answer 7

Murciélago orejón

Pesa 10 gramos y se alimenta de mariposas nocturnas en llanuras abiertas. Resaltan sus orejas prominentes que parecen alas. Su nombre científico es Corynorhunus Townsendii.

Townsend's big-eared bat

Townsend's big-eared bat is a medium-sized bat with extremely long, flexible ears (hence the name), and small yet noticeable lumps on each side of the snout.

Lol orejón, I love that :) - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 6, 2014

Answer 8

Hay una ardilla que puedo ver a través de la ventana a veces cuando hago la bici estática de abajo en mi casa. Suele vagar por un árbol en mi jardín y por varios en el jardín de mi vecino. No tengo ni idea de que especie es. Es muy probable que no sea de la misma como la de la foto que he escogido.

I would just call it a gray squirrel. :) We used to have red squirrels (a little smaller) in our back yard in Ohio when I was growing up. - Findy, Mar 6, 2014

Oh, the picture is a gray squirrel, but I am not sure what species the one I see in my yard is. I have no idea really how to tell them apart. - bosquederoble, Mar 6, 2014

Answer 9

Tengamos Tenemos muchos los pájaros negros con alas rojas que visitan nuestro alimentadores de aves comederos para pájaros.

We have many red-winged black birds that visit our bird feeders.

I'm not too sure about the word "alimentadores". Is there a better word for "bird feeder"? - Findy, Mar 6, 2014

Tenemos? - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 6, 2014

Birds elder = Comedero para pájaros - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 6, 2014

Grr bird feeder! I hate that auto correct doofer! Ayayay :) - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 6, 2014

haha Whoops! I had tengo and then decided to say "we" instead of "I" and well there you go. Tengamos. I invented a new Spanish word. Thanks for catching that, Kiwi! Oh, and thanks for the word for.... elder. hehe - Findy, Mar 6, 2014

lol, well actually 'tengamos' is a real word, it's tener in the present subjunctive, I thought maybe you had been learning it and it was on your brain but perhaps you've subconsciously absorbed it lol - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 6, 2014
