Sample text:

The sun’s rays filtered through the canopy of the rainforest. The ground below was filled with shadows and light as a caravan of dwarf shrews rustled across it. The babies followed their mother with their whiskers tickling the air around them as their tiny feet moved silently across the ground. When they passed a solitary shrew, the grey rodent hissed at them until they dashed into a shrub nearby. His long fuzzy snout sniffed after them to make sure they were no longer intruding on his space.

Crystal forest tree frogs made their voices known as they searched for mates from afar. Their acoustics added to the bright warbling birds above them. The rainforest was filled with life that stretched all across its canvas from the air above to the ground below.

Thunder, an African pygmy elephant, was proud to call the rainforest his home. Thunder’s large ears flapped around the baby like face that his kind was blessed with. His white tusks stood out among the rusty colored skin and hair that covered his body. His long tail swished a few insects away from his body as he turned to look up at his friend sitting on a branch above him.

“Peek-a-boo, see you.” Penelope, an African grey parrot, said. Her stomach was covered in light grey feathers that contrasted with the darker ones on her wings and back. She shook her red tail feathers lightly as she hopped from foot to foot excitedly.
