Hiya,
Today we are trying some of the Summer Learning Journey challenges. I choose one about 'Awesome Animals', in which we had to create our own animal and describe it. My animal is a Hippocampus, which, admittedly, is an animal in Greek mythology. I drew mine and took a photo to place at the bottom.
In Greek mythology, a Hippocampus is a creature who is half horse and half fish. They don't appear often in Greek myths, but when they do, they are often being ridden by water spirits or gods. However, in other mythology they are known as 'water horses' who can become a whole horse to charm people into riding them. Once someone is riding the horse, their legs are stuck to the horses fur, and it gallops into the water and transforms into its true form, drowning the rider. However, if the rider has a horse tack, a legend says the rider can tame the water horse and it is faster and stronger than all other horses.
