Animals Under Our SunEvery kind of animal

Lives under our sun.

Fuzzy bees buzz by,

Gulls drift in the sky,

Ducks quack, swim, and fly.

Fast cheetahs run and run.

How can we help animals

Do well under our sun?

Kangaroos that jump,

Camels with a hump,

Skunks up on a stump.

Helping can be fun.
