A hutch is a cage or coop for small animals. Pet rabbits and guinea pigs are generally kept in hutches.
Hydra is a small freshwater animal that looks like a little tube with a soft body and several thin tentacles. It catches small prey that pass using its tentacles.
Scientific name: hydrangea macrophylla
Hydrangeas are a flowering plant from Southeast Asia. They grow big bundles of flowers and look very nice put in a vase. Some types of hydrangea change colour depending on how acid the soil is. They grow blue flowers in acidic soil, white or pale cream flowers in neutral soil and pink or purple flowers in alkaline soils.
Scientific name: family: hyaenidae
Hyenas look a little like dogs but are not related - they are actually very very distantly related to mongooses. Hyenas have very strong teeth and jaws and can crush bones. Their back legs are shorter than their front legs, so they walk a little like a bear does.
Hyenas live in arid regions in Africa. They hunt larger animals for food, but will also eat dead animals that they find. Hyenas hunt in groups.
