The document is a short essay by a student named Marcus Miller for his 6th grade teacher Mr. Halpainy. It describes a creature that lives in forests, wetlands, and open areas near freshwater habitats. It eats insects and algae, and is an omnivore. The creature is mostly green with warmer colors, is well-suited as a pet due to its activity level and short lifespan, and is revealed to be a fire-bellied toad.
