Ⅱ. 能力提升

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

Tibetan antelopes mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75，000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world.

Golden Monkeys

Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shanxi Provinces. Golden monkeys have golden­orange fur. They move around in the daytime. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboo. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less food to eat.

Elephants

Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. 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. Wolves are in danger too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.
