The document describes several imaginary mixed-up animals created by combining characteristics of real animals, such as a gorillaphant which has traits of both a gorilla and elephant. It then prompts students to come up with their own mixed animals by combining two real animals, describing where it lives, what it eats, if it is friendly, and what it looks like. Students are also asked to consider if their mixed animal has any unusual habits and to draw a picture of it.
