There are millions of different animals in the world, but some are in danger, and some may soon die out. People can never see them again. Mark and David wanted to find some of these rare animals, so they climbed mountains, crossed rivers, and waked through rainforests.
A Bat, a Cat or a Squirrel?
Mark and David found the aye— aye. The aye— aye has bright eyes. It has ears like a bat, a body like a cat and a tail like a squirrel. Some people think the aye— aye brings bad luck. They killed many of them, and cut down a lot of trees where the aye— aye lives as well.
A Stranger Parrot
Mark and David found the biggest parrot in the world that cannot fly. Many years ago, some animals came to the place the parrots lived in, and killed many of them. Now there are only a few left.
Another Special Animal
Mark and David went looking for a manatee. A manatee looks like a seal and a hippo. In some places where manatees live, the water in the river gets low. Then the manatee swims to the place where there is more water. Many get stranded(搁浅), and some are killed by other animals and people, too.
After Mark and David returned, they made a film about these animals. They want to show the world these strange but interesting animals. They want the world to know there are not man of them left, and they all have a place in our world.
