The reason comes down partly to weight.According to the University of California,most cows weign between 450 and 650 kilograms,and bulls (can weigh over 800 kilograms. To give their heavy body better support,cattle have to walk on four legs. How cattle carry thein weight is important,too Like horses and sheep,cattle put more weight on their front legs-that's where their nead,neck and tne heaviest part of their body are.To stand on two legs,cattle would need to move their weight back,which is very difficult for them. However,weight is not the only reason.Many bears are also big and walk on four legs most of the time, but they often stand up to see further or to reach things.The secret is in the "feet".According to China Science Communication,bears,like humans,walk with their whole -toottouching the ground.This lets bears stand up well even on two feet Cattle,en the other hand,only walk on the tips of theit toes )These toes are covered by hooves ()which are made of the same thing as our hair and nails ()This,along with the heavy weight,makes it hard for cattle to stay upright for long. 56.Why does the writer mention the film Niu Lai at the beginning?

It is believed that this symbol comes from the Bible().Actually,for the first time,it appeared in the story about Noah'sArk(诺亚方舟).In the story,when the heavy rain that flooded(淹设)the carth stopped pouring down,Noah sent out a white dove to see if there was any land.Then the dove returned with a leaf in its mouth,which meant that it had found dry land somewhere.This brought hope to Noah,who had spent -6. almost a year on his ark.From then on,the white dove was seen as the symbol of hope and new life. In another very popular story from Central Asia,a big war was about to happen between two kingdoms. When one of the kings asked for his helmet(),he was told that a dove had make a nest into it.The king's mother wanted him to keep the nest and doves.The king agreed and headed for the war without the helmet. Seeing the king have no helmet,the other king asked the reason.The king told the truth.The other king was touched by his action.And they finally agreed to make peace instead of war.A nest of doves became a reason for stopping a war.Since then,the dove has been connected with peace.In ancient Japan,a dove carrying a sword()meant the final agreementfthat two sides had reached in a war.And i Europe,there was a tradition that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying,then their soul would be at peace. Many artists also treat the bird as a symbol of peace.But it was Picasso who made the white dove widely seen as a popular modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949. 76 The white-colored bird with a leaf in its mouth is a symbol of peace.
