The Prompt

Calling all junior explorers and future scientists! Get ready to embark on an incredible adventure deep into your imagination. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discover and describe a brand-new animal that no one has ever seen before!

Imagine you're the very first person to stumble upon this creature. What does it look like? Is it tiny and shimmering, or huge and covered in fluffy fur? Does it have wings, glowing eyes, or perhaps scales that change colour? Think about its home – does it live in a hidden cave, a bubbling swamp, or a forest canopy? What does it eat for dinner, and how does it protect itself or find its food?

We want to read all about your fantastic discovery! Give your animal a brilliant name and tell us what makes it truly special. Use exciting words to paint a picture in our minds so we can almost see your amazing new creature right in front of us. Good luck, explorers!
