White Things in Nature

White Sheep

Have you ever found it difficult to fall asleep? Some people count sheep jumping over a fence when they can't fall asleep. One sheep. Two sheep. And so on. Until they become so tired that they fall into a deep sleep. Have you ever counted sheep jumping over a fence? And how high do you think sheep can jump? Most of the time sheep walk around slowly and eat grass in the field, but they can jump 4 foot or 122 centimeter fences!

White Dogs

Imagine owning a white dog. White dogs might look beautiful when they're clean but when they're dirty it would be very easy to see. You would have to wash the dog every day. Have you ever seen a dog shake their fur when they're wet and spray water everywhere? If your dog wasn't clean it could spray dirty water all over the bathroom. That would mean even more cleaning!

White Clouds

White clouds make so many interesting shapes when the wind blows. You can spend hours looking at the sky and watching the clouds change shape. Sometimes you might see a dog, sometimes you might see a dragon and sometimes you might see a monster. Have you ever seen the clouds make a face? Next time you're looking at the clouds see what you can see!

White Cats

It's no wonder there are white cats because cats are such clean animals. Cats seem to spend all their time licking themselves to keep clean. Has a cat ever licked you? What did it feel like? Cats have rough tongues that feel like sandpaper which helps them clean their fur.

White Goats

White baby goats are so cute! They have a lot of energy and jump and climb around. They climb on mountains, trees, rocks and fences. And do you know how high goats can jump? Most goats can jump between 4 feet (122 centimeters) and 12 feet (366 centimeters) high. Imagine the poor farmer having to build fences to keep white goats in a field.

White Horses

Imagine white horses galloping along a beach at sunset. It doesn't sounds real, does it? It sounds like something from a dream. In the south of France there is a region where this dream is a reality. In the Camargue herds of wild white horses can gallop along the sea shore and play in the water.
