Predator Free 2050 summary

85 years ago the first country to split from Gondwanaland was New Zealand. Gondwanaland is when all the earth's land is all in one spot and all was one big country but years later they all started to separate and become continantins. Which means the mammals that New zealand only has must have traveled there by flying or swimming.

Because New Zealand is an island there were no mammals so all the other animals like birds and insects became lazy because there were no predators to run from.

But later settlers brought pests such as stoats, possums and rats and they started to destroy all the native things in New Zealand. Did you know that New Zealand holds the record of having the worst extinctions, (that is not good)

New Zealand is trying to control the pests by using traps and poison. It is the whole of New Zealand's responsibility to take care of all the natives of New Zealand and to control all the pestes so they do not make any more native things extinct.

Tsunami

8 in the morning the boys Kymani, Kordell, Davlyn and Railey were still sleeping. When they woke up they Got ready for the day, they  brushed their teeth, ate their breakfast and lastly got changed.

But suddenly the whole city of New york heard a super loud siren. “What was that?” railey asked “I don’t know” said Davlyn, then they just carried on getting ready. It was warning them that a very dangerous tsunami, everybody was freaking out, it was all over the news. All the food supplies were gone at all the shops, shops like pak'nsave, new world and heaps of other shops all ran out of food everybody had to evacuate to the tallest mountain nearby.

While everybody was getting to safety the boys were just walking outside and While walking Railey Looked out the window and saw nothing but buildings. It was a ghost town, there were no cars and no people outside, it was super weird because the city was always packed. They did not know what to do or what happend. “Hello” yelled Kymani but no one replied “Where is everybody” yelled Davlyn. They drove to the beach, when they got there Kordell looked at the waves and the water and he knew that a big wave was coming because all the waves were small and the water was all the way out. “We need to get to a tall mountain,” Kordell yelled to warn the others, ``Why?”  Davlyn asked “because a tsunami is coming!!!!” Kordell answered  “WHAT, we need to go” shouted Kymani and Railey.

“Vroom” went the truck as fast as a cheater “where are we going” said Kymani “to Mt Wellington” said Davlyn. When they got there, there was no way up so they had to climb it. “I have some climbing gear, from when we went rock climbing” “were?” Railey asked “in the back of the car” said Kymani “3,2,1 climb” Kordell said. “We made it” said Davlyn “yay” celebrated everybody “and just in time to, look at the tsunami it just got to the city” said Railey. “That was scary,” said Kymani.

“Ok I think it’s done let’s go see” yelled Davlyn “woah” said everybody. “I think we can go down now” Davlyn said “ok” everybody replied. “Damn, look at all the floods” Kymani said while going down the mountain. “let's never do that ever again” said Railey while trying to catch his breath.
