Fish, frogs and reptiles, sentence 7
For example, a lizard basks on a sunny rock in the morning to warm up and hides in the shade at noon, and because it does not burn food for heat, it may need only a tiny part of the food a mouse of the same size eats.
Who acts: lizard, mouse · What happens: bask, warm up, hide, not burn, need, eat · To what, where: sunny rock, shade, food, tiny part
