    To find more and different birds, you may wish to plan trips to birds' different living areas: forests, lakes, rivers, wetlands, etc.

    Wild animals are our friends, but there are fewer and fewer of them. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.

    Tibetan Antelopes

    Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the wild, down from a million 50 years ago.

    Golden Monkeys

    Golden monkeys are mainly in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi province and Shennongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 t0 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads.They feed on fruits and- young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying(毁害) the environment where they live, trees and bamboos are disappearing(消失), so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.

    Elephants

    Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animal on land. They are grey and have long trunks (象鼻) and tusks(长牙). They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks.Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller because their living areas are used for farming; Also, people hunt them for their tusks.

    If you want to go to Australia on holiday, why not visit Fraser Island? It is in Queensland, about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane. It is a very important island because it is made of sand(沙). In fact, it is the largest sand island in the world.

    The sand makes unusual shapes(形状). Nothing grows on sand blows. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest to the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger.

    There are dark forests—eucalyptus(桉树) woods, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes. There are many kinds of birds, like owls and curlews. There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs.

    They go to see the island's beauty and nature. People enjoy camping and hiking there. Unluckily, the visitors make problems. They cut down trees, pick flowers and make animals unhappy. The rubbish makes the water dirty.For example, people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes, and they need official papers to drive there.

People destroy(摧毁) forests(make) more space for buildings and roads. This makes many animals lose their food and homes. Every day, lots of animals lose their lives because of people.
