The pet I want is called a blue lounged skink. They are not creepy at all! They are very cute and can live up to 20 years. They are ground reptiles and found in the really far East in Indonesia and Australia. They eat almost anything! Like meatballs, hamburgers, ketchup and mustard hotdog, lettuce, veggies, fruit, insects, and eggs and meat! They will make a meal out of almost anything. They grow to about 20 inches long and have a blue tongue to protect them. They cannot climb. They have great camouflage but if that doesn't help them, their blue tongue can! The color of the tongue means poison to predators but they don't have any poison. Their scales are soft and turn yellowish brown when near shedding. They are not born in eggs. They need to be kept under a light constantly. They are used to warm temperatures. They are one of the most popular exotic reptile pets :D.

Cottonwood trees are a type of tree that lives in America, Western Asia, Europe, Eastern and Macedonia. They are known as cottonwood trees because their seeds have soft puffs on them that makes them look like cotton. They are tolerant to floods, erosion etc. Their wood is soft and can easily be chopped. They are common in the southwest of America.
Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked) : Angiosperms
(unranked) : Eudicots
(unranked) : Rosids
Order : Malpighiales
Family : Salicaceae
Genus : Populos
Section : Aigeiros
These are large trees. 25-40 m tall with diamond shaped leaves that are green on both sides of the leaf. The seeds are borne ( idk what that means ) on cottony structures and can be carried far before landing. The petiole is flattened sideways of the tree's leaves, and has a particular movement when the wind blows. The wood is course and a fairly low value. Used for shipping crates, pallet boxes etc.
Cottonwood is a very important tree and still is today
