For Bio class, I need to write a short story from the point of view of an anteater. I've already gathered information on the animal, which I can disperse through the story, but I need some type of plot idea, what happened during my day. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I don't have any ideas wish I could help. I could take a stab at it and have it start out with the anteater starting off saying something. Again, I really don't know

Okay, I've just started! I need to write like 3 times as much though, so I still need ideas... -sigh- This is more difficult than I thought. It's not very good at all, lol.


Dear Journal,

As I was exiting the hollow tree trunk that I nest in, I saw a very pretty female eating ants. She was petite at 21 inches with a 16-inch tail, and had gorgeous creamy brown fur. She looked very attractive as she turned over a log and picked up some ants with her sharp claws.

It is fall, mating season, so I thought I’d try my luck with her. I wobbled over to the tree across from her and ate some ants. But before I had the chance to say anything, another tamandua started to hit on her! I couldn’t believe the nerve of him. So, I hissed at him, and when he still wouldn’t back off, I grabbed a hold of a higher branch with my tail and attacked him with my forearms. I clawed at him until he finally gave up and found another log to eat ants from. The lady must have been very impressed with my defensive skills, because she shared some of her ants with me. Tamanduas are usually not very talkative, but I have a way with the ladies.

LOL... I finished! I only needed one page double spaced, so I ended very abruptly and just have sex with her, hahaha. It's horrible, but my average in Bio is an A+, so I don't care haha. Here is the finished:

Last night, as I was exiting the hollow tree trunk that I nest in, I saw a very pretty female eating ants. She was petite at 21 inches with a 16-inch tail, and had gorgeous creamy brown fur. She looked very attractive as she turned over a log and picked up some ants with her sharp claws.

It is fall, mating season, so I thought I’d try my luck with her. I wobbled over to the tree across from her and ate some ants. But before I had the chance to say anything, another tamandua started to hit on her! I couldn’t believe the nerve of him. So, I hissed at him, and when he still wouldn’t back off, I grabbed a hold of a higher branch with my tail and attacked him with my forearms. I clawed at him until he finally gave up and found another log to eat ants from. The lady must have been very impressed with my defensive skills, because she shared some of her ants with me. Tamanduas are usually not very talkative, but I have a way with the ladies.

Both of us then went to the nearby stream for a drink, to wash down those delicious ants. Once again, before I was able to charm the lovely lady, I was interrupted! This time, however, it wasn’t another tamandua… there was a hunter trying to shoot at us! Those hunters are always trying to blame us for killing their dogs. What would I want with a dog? I only eat insects, so there is no reason for me to bother killing a dog. Those silly hunters. Well, we were quite frightened by the shot so we hid by a tree until we were sure the hunter was gone.

So, we bonded while we were in the tree trunk hiding from the anteater. I, of course, charmed her with my magic and then I squatted over her as she was lying on her side, and we mated.
