The Seal. 25 



32. There are other animals living in or near 

 the water, which are captured in very large 

 numbers every year in the cold regions. Can 

 you name them ? Seals. For what are seals 

 captured ? Their fur. 



Seal, 6 feet in length. Porpoise. 6 to 8 feet in length. 



Shark, 12 feet in length. 



Make blackboard drawing- of seal and porpoise, each 2 feet long- 

 by 6 inches wide : of shark, 4 feet long by 10 inches wide. 

 The shark is twice as long as the seal, and the whale is five 

 times as long as the shark. 



33. Here is drawn (or I shall draw) on the 

 blackboard a picture of a seal. This animal is 

 about two yards long. It has two fore paws, 

 with which it paddles in the water or pulls itself 

 along on the ice or the shore. Its hinder limbs 

 serve only to steer and scull with. Its head 

 resembles that of a dog. 



SPELL AND DEFINE Captured, fur, paddles, 

 ice, porpoise, shark, two, yard, fore.
