People started to study the weather very early. They used many different ways. Some are still useful. Let's have a look!
Watch the sky
Look at the clouds. Different kinds mean different weather. How the clouds move also means different weather. Usually, white and high clouds mean good weather. Dark and low clouds mean bad weather.
Look at the red sky. Your parents may tell you, "Red sky in the morning: don't go out. Red sky at night: walk for a long time." Well, this is quite right!
Watch the animals
Look at the birds. Usually, they fly very high in the sky. And this means good weather. Sometimes, they fly very low in the sky. And this means bad weather. The birds are also very quiet before it rains.
Look at the turtles. Before bad weather comes, they'll climb very slowly to a high place. You can see them on the road one to two days before it rains.
Look at the cows. Sometimes, they stay together and keep quiet, because bad weather is on the way.
Hippos Hippos are very big. They can be about 1.5 meters tall. They have short tails, short feet, and very big heads. Hippos are herbivores. It means that they don't eat meat. They like to cat plants and grass. Hippos live in the water. They move in the water with their feet. | Camels Camels live in the deserts(沙漠). It is very dry und hot there. They can keep not eating for a long time. Because they have humps that store fat(储存脂肪). Camels can use the fat when they don't have any food to eat or water to drink. Camels are herbivores. People can ride camels by sitting between their humps. They can also help people take heavy things in the deserts. |
Kangaroos Kangaroos can jump very high with two legs and can walk on all four legs. They use their long tails to keep their balance(平衡)when jumping. Kangaroos also know how to swim. They don't eat meat but they like to eat flowers and leaves(树叶). They can be over 1.3 meters tall and about 180kg. | Foxes Foxes are about the size of a big cat. They are around 6 kg. Foxes have gray, red or brown fur and long tails. They like eating birds, rabbits and berries. They have to stay away from wolves. Because wolves like to eat them.
