In a world that's full of wonder,
With creatures that might make you ponder,
There's a reptile that's transparent,
And its temperament is quite apparent.

This little lizard likes it quiet,
And its home is an extreme climate,
High up in the mountains' altitude,
Where the air is thin and the view is crude.

It eats the algae that grows around,
And when it's scared, it won't make a sound,
But if you're kind and approach with care,
It might even let you stroke its hair.

So if you're ever in the mountains high,
And you see a reptile passing by,
Remember to be calm and gentle,
And enjoy this moment that's so monumental.

Reflections

1. Have you ever seen a transparent reptile? What did it look like?
2. Why is it important to approach animals with care and gentleness?
3. What do you think it would be like to live in an extreme altitude where the air is thin?
4. What is algae, and how do you think it helps the reptile survive?
5. Can you think of other animals that live in extreme environments? How do they adapt to their surroundings?
