    Protecting (保护) wild animals is our duty. Because wild animals are important to us. They live with us on the earth together. If there are no animals on the earth, we will not live on, 1. So we should 2 them to help us live a healthy life.

    3 some people still don't realize the importance(重要性) of protecting wild animals. They often 4 wild animals for food or for money. Every day there are many wild animals being killed. So lots of wild animals are 5. We can't see them any more. Today the number of wild animals 6 becoming smaller and smaller. If we don't protect them, they will all die out. If this goes on, there will be no animals  7 on the earth.

     8, more and more people began to do many things to help protect wild animals. They ask people 9 wild animals. They get people to know that protecting wild animals is one of the most important things. Now many 10  have made some laws to protect wild animals. Now that (既然) wild animals are so important to man, we should do our best to protect them.

      Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.

Tibetan Antelopes(藏羚羊)

      Tibetan antelopes are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.

Golden Monkeys

      Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.

Elephants

      Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.

Wolves

      Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.

      Do you know how many pandas there are in the world? World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has spent four yours counting pandas in the world. It says there are 1,590 now. In the 1980s, there were only 1,100.

So we may say that pandas are lucky because people around the world love them and are trying their best to help them. However, we also say that pandas are unlucky because they are still facing a lot of problems now.

Pandas are not good at making babies. Even in the wild, scientists have found that female pandas give birth only every 28 months. That's why the number of pandas goes up so slowly.

Pandas need bamboos for food, but bamboo dies every 10 to 100 years. It can take up to 20 years to provide(提供) food for pandas. When bamboo dies, pandas have to move to other areas. In the past, this was easy. However, the number of people keeps growing, people cut down more forests and built more villages. It's more difficult for pandas to find bamboos and homes than before.

In the past years, WWF made great efforts to protect pandas. And some Chinese scientists are also always trying to find ways to help pandas.

      The Milu deer is a kind of animal with large horns(角). They were very common in China long ago. They lived together and ate grass and the soft parts of trees. In the past, people did not protect the Milu deer and killed them for food or sport, so they disappeared(消失) from China .

      Luckily before all of them disappeared, the Duke of Bedford(贝德福特公爵) took some to Britain. The Milu deer like the cool, wet weather in England and their numbers increased(增长) year by year. As a result, when in1985, the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duck of Bedford was able to help. The first deer came back to China to the Nanhaizi Milu park near Beijing and to Dafeng, Jiangsu Province.

      Since they returned to China, their number has grown quickly .There are now so many of them that a new park has been opened for them in Hubei Province. Now the Milu deer live in the wildlife parks and have good protection. We hope that one day they can live in the wild again.

      Bats are the only “flying animals” in the world. They can't see very well. We often hear “as blind as a bat”. Yet they have no trouble flying on the darkest nights and finding their ways round. How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar(雷达).

The bat's radar system(系统) works the same way as the radar in ships and planes. As a bat flies through the air, it makes a sound. If the sound hits things, it will come back and the bat's ears will receive the message. In this way the bat is able to know where the things are. Bats go out for food at night. In the daytime they hang in some dark places. Some people think bats are bad animals. In fact they are useful animals.

Kitty: Daniel, I read a report about sharks(鲨鱼) today.

Daniel:       

Kitty:       

Daniel: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.       

Kitty:        Sharks have a right to live.

Daniel: I agree with you.       

Kitty: I will tell mine, too.

Every year more people realize(意识到) that it is w       to kill wild animals for “sport”. The number of hunters, however, g       quickly. Wild animals are disappearing because of shooting(狩猎) and because of the l      of living areas. The losing of living areas will go on with our growing population(人口), but can we s       the losing of wild animals caused(引起) by shooting? This is not p      if the serious condition of our living is not improved(改善).

Wild animals b       to everyone and not to the hunters a      . Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive(宽恕) shooting for “sport” because they know l       or nothing about it. It is time to realize that animals have the same right to l       as we do. We should make f       with wild animals.
