Bio poem about toroa

We Are Learning To take information from a non fiction text to complete a bio poem.

Toroa

Wide-winged, Harmless, Protected, Calm

Lover of their nutritious diet of squid, octopus, salps and fish

Who feels fear when other albatross and petrel die each year becoming hooked on fishing lines

Who needs tori lines behind their boats so they can scare away albatross.

Who gave the Maori bones to make spear tips for hunting other manu.

Who fears that some of their whanau are going to die from all the pollution in the sea. 

Who would like to have a life without being an endangered species.

Who comes from a common ancestor of penguins, from 65 million years ago.
