Wildlife experts are asking Australians to drive carefully to avoid unnecessary roadkill as native (本地的) animal numbers drop following years of natural disasters.

Kristic Newton from WIRES said the recent floods across Eastern Queensland and New South Wales could lead to an increase in animal roadkill accidents (事故) with wildlife on the move. “This year it might be even worse because they’re traveling a bit further to find food,” Newton said. “Important food sources like grasses have become less and less, forcing many animals to move outside their habitat (栖息地) in search of food, and turn up in unusual places.”

“The fires killed millions and millions of native animals, and now we’ve had the floods. So it’s important that we try and protect what animals we’ve got left,” the wildlife expert said. The 2019 — 2020 bushfires in Australia have affected nearly three billion animals.

According to AAMI Insurance, more than ten percent of all animal roadkill accidents happen in May. More than 15,500 AAMI animal collision claims (动物碰撞索赔) last year showed that central Victoria’s Heathcote was the country’s most dangerous place for wild animals. Victoria was also the worst state for animal roadkill, with almost one third of animal accidents taking place on Victorian roads. New South Wales and Queensland followed closely behind.

Newton said moving a dead animal off the road can be a good way to prevent unnecessary death. “Birds also come down and feed on those bodies, and we see a lot of them get hit when doing that.” She is also encouraging drivers to do the right thing if they hit an animal. “Please pull over where it is safe to check whether the animal is injured,” said Newton. “For your own safety never get close to an adult kangaroo (袋鼠), even if it’s injured.”

1. What is the main reason for the increase in animal roadkill accidents?

   A. People traveling more than before.

   B. Animals preferring to feed alongside roads.

   C. Cities becoming more attractive to animals.

   D. Animals having to move because of natural disasters.

2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

   A. What damage Australian bushfires have had.

   B. Natural disasters make it hard to protect wildlife.

   C. Why it is high time people protected Australian animals.

   D. Bushfires are much more dangerous to animals than floods.

3. What information can we get from AAMI Insurance?

   A. Most roadkill accidents happened in 2019.

   B. Animals in New South Wales suffered most.

   C. Queensland took quick action to end roadkill.

   D. Heathcote saw most roadkill accidents in Australia.

4. What is the right thing for drivers to do in Newton’s opinion?
