You may weigh more than a whooping crane, but maybe you aren’t taller than one! Whooping cranes can grow up to five feet tall. It makes them the tallest birds in North America. But even as tall as they are, whooping cranes weigh only about 15 pounds, because of their hollow （空心的） bones. WHAT’S FOR DINNER? Whooping cranes live in wetlands, wet prairies, and fields. They’re not picky （挑剔的） about their meals—they have a mixed diet and eat small fish, and insects, as well as grains and marsh plants. CALL OF THE WILD Whooping cranes really like to ‘whoop it up’ when they want to attract a mate （伙伴）. They call loudly and do what might look like a crazy dance to be eye—catching. They flap their wings, and move their heads from side to side quickly, jumping up and down. A SPECIAL TRICK These cranes are in danger, but scientists have used some very interesting tricks to help them stay alive. At first, they moved one group of cranes to Florida, but the cranes never learned to migrate （迁徙）. When they got to Florida, they didn’t know how to fly back home. Scientists did all they could do to make the number of the cranes larger, so they used a special trick with another Florida group of cranes. Scientists “taught” the younger cranes to migrate by having them follow a very light airplane from Florida to Wisconsin. After the cranes gave birth to their babies in Florida, they’d follow the plane back to Wisconsin! Some whooping cranes stay in Florida all year round, some fly from Florida to Wisconsin, and others fly from Texas to Canada and back again each year.

Dolphins talk to one another with whistles (口哨) and calls. Scientists have known that the animals also use unusual whistles to name each other. They had thought that dolphins only heard each other’s voices. However, the scientists didn’t know that dolphins listen for their names too. To test this idea, the researchers caught 14 dolphins and recorded their name calls. The scientists then copied each dolphin’s voice. When the changed recordings were played, the dolphins replied strongly to the names of their families and group members. They didn’t care about the names of dolphins they did not know. Dolphins live in large groups that grow and change. Each dolphin’s unusual whistle helps it find a friend or a family member easily, or call for help. Understanding their calls need learning. Most animals don’t have this skill except (除了) humans, elephants and bats. Elephants, for example, communicate (交流) with sound. Their sounds can be heard by other elephants miles away. Dolphins, too, communicate with each other like this. Elephants also communicate by moving their head, feet and trunk. In much the same way, dolphins communicate by their movements. Touching each other is a way for dolphins to express friendship. Elephants also communicate by their great sense of smell. They can know other elephants by the smells they have in a short time. Why do dolphins and elephants share the gift of communication? Scientists think it may be because they are social and smart animals. Both have strong family relationship (关系). Now, scientists want to know if they also have nicknames.

The elephants are usually 5 to 6 meters tall and weigh 3 to 5 tons. Yunnan is the only home for wild Asian elephants in China. The province has built 11 nature reserves and its population has risen from 170 in the 1970s to 300 today. However, last year, 15 wild Asian elephants left their home in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, They kept going north, walking through fields and towns. The journey damaged 561,333 square meters of crops and led to economic losses of nearly 6.8 million yuan. People wonder why the elephants are on the move and where they are heading to. Zhang Li, a life science professor at Beijing Normal University, suggested that the elephants needmore space and food, or they are losing their home. Another idea suggests that a change in Earth’s magnetic(磁场) field has made the elephants think they should move. The government is trying to protect the safety of both humans and the elephants. They have fed the elephants tons of food in order to guide them away from city areas. They have also watched the group’s movement, warning nearby people not to get close to the elephants. A total of 76 police cars and trucks, five diggers and nine drones(无人机) have been used to protect the animals.

The journey damaged 561,333 square meters of crops and led to economic losses of nearly 6.8 million yuan. People wonder why the elephants are on the move and where they are heading to. Zhang Li, a life science professor at Beijing Normal University, suggested that the elephants needmore space and food, or they are losing their home. Another idea suggests that a change in Earth’s magnetic(磁场) field has made the elephants think they should move. The government is trying to protect the safety of both humans and the elephants. They have fed the elephants tons of food in order to guide them away from city areas. They have also watched the group’s movement, warning nearby people not to get close to the elephants.

One of the main reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance (机会) to live. Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, most of them are allowed (允许) to go outside freely. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions (十亿) of small animals such as rabbits and field mice. They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people’s yard, further weakening (削弱) their health. Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, it’s also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks (攻击) from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don’t live past the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older. Keep your pet cat inside! If you raise a young cat, it’s your duty to let it play inside. Problems The number of birds is becoming 1 .
