always have a very big appetite. My Mummy often complained about how much I ate. She
usually asked me if I had a hole in my stomach. Eating is very, very satisfying. It fills us up and

A “Hoppy” Discovery
A new frog species has been discovered in New York City
1. Usually, scientists search rainforests, ocean habitats, or other places on Earth to find new
plant and animal species. So, when a new type of frog was found hopping around New York, you
could say, scientists were very happy.
2. Three years ago, science student Feinberg trekked around New York listening for the
sounds and collecting strange frogs. He shared his research with biologist Catherine E. Newman
who was studying leopard frogs. She analysed the code of the frog’s blood and compared the new
frog’s blood structure with those of the leopard frogs. The frogs looked nearly identical, but their
blood structure was very different.
3. Feinberg believes the frog also once lived in Manhattan, but its present habitat varies from
the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey to northern counties of New York. It may
even be living in parts of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The centre of the frog’s habitat seems to be
Yankee Stadium. 57 Feinberg hasn’t found any frogs living around the famous baseball field.

her. She is the greatest little sister you can have. Unfortunately, we can’t go to the latest parties
together because she’s my dog Shuga.
2. Shuga means the world to me. I love her as if she truly is my little sister. She’s so spoiled

and super sweet. I don’t know what I’d do without her.

sometimes without her on campus. Sometimes I wake up and look for her forgetting I was at school
and not at home. She’s my addiction. I don’t know if any of you have pets but mine is my
everything. I hope you don’t think I’m weird because I love my dog so much, but I really love her a
lot! I mean some people say diamonds are a girl’s best friends, but Shuga is mine!
