Guji Guji [Rd]

Guji Guji is a story about ducks and crocodiles. How are they similar? How are they different?

Ducks and crocodiles both: 
   lay eggs, eat fish, eat bugs, swim in water (lakes, streams and rivers), ... [Can YOU think of some more similarities?]

Only ducks:
   have feathers, can fly in the sky (YOU think of some more)

Only crocodiles:
   can eat big animals, have scales (YOU think of some more)

Use these ideas to make a mind map. yEd is free software that makes beautiful diagrams.
