五、阅读回答问题 , 每题不超过6个单词
Does it really matter if we know how old animals are? To many scientists, it does.
When studying animal populations, it is of great importance for scientists to know how many animals there are and how old they are. This information can help scientists learn which animals are thriving(茁壮成长) and which ones need more care and help. Scientists usually use the following ways to tell animals’ age.
For many animals, their teeth can help scientists know their age. For some animals, their teeth don't come in until a certain age. Take cows for an example. Like humans, cows have two sets of teeth, milk teeth and permanent teeth. They normally get their first pair of permanent teeth when they' re two years old. Then they have the next pair at the age of three, the third pair at the age of four.
Hair and skin can also provide information about age. Some animals tend to get bad skin and grey hair as they get older. If you have an older dog, you may have noticed that its nose and mouth get greyer as it gets older.
Animals’ eyes and ears might also help scientists tell animals’ age. As animals get older, their hearing often becomes weak and their eyesight might begin to fail.
Scientists are continuing to discover new and more ways of telling the age of animals.Recently, scientists have learned that they can tell the age of the humpback whales by examining their DNA. That's really good news!
