Report about the Iberian wolf and the Cantabrian brown Bear.

• In this report we are going to talk about two interesting animals: The Iberian wolf and the Cantabrian brown bear.

•  Both animals have many things in common:  They are mammals that live in Spain.  

      Both are wild! We cannot have them at                home as pets.

• They are different in many ways too.

     The Cantabrian bear is bigger than the              Iberian wolf.

     The Cantabrian bear roars very loud 

      but the Iberian wolf howls even louder! 

      Bears eat plants and other animals, they             are omnivours.
