Today, we have some facts (事实) about animals that you may not know.
Do you know which animal can make the loudest (最大声的) sound? If you think it would be something like an elephant, a tiger or even a lion, you are wrong. It is a kind of whale. Fish in the sea can hear the sound far from it.
We know that a man usually needs about eight hours’ sleep at night. Well, guess how much sleep an elephant needs? An elephant only sleeps about two hours a day.
Do you know a famous film called The Lion King? The little lion, Simba, roars in the film. Well, in fact, a lion cannot cry before it is two years old.
You may think all zebras look the same because of their colours, but no two zebras have the same look. They look similar but different. How do you find the difference between a toad (蟾蜍) and a frog (青蛙)? Well, one way is that they jump in different ways.
And another interesting thing is that elephants are the only mammals in the world that can’t jump.
