Here is something amusing(有趣的) about animals around the world. Let's enjoy them and have fun.

Snail's race(蜗牛赛跑)

Every year, Spain holds a snail race. Kids choose their snails and train them. After the race, the snails will go back to the wild. This year, 37 snail racers joined the race on Aug. 22nd. The snails needed to climb over a 1-metre-tall statue(雕像). Kids can't touch(摸) the snails. They can only cheer the snails.

No lonely goldfish(金鱼) in Switzerland

It is easy to keep a goldfish as a pet at home. But you may make a big mistake if you live in Switzerland. People can't keep only one goldfish, according to their law(法律). Why? Fish are social(社会的) animals that swim in groups in the sea. The Swiss government believes it is very bad to make them live alone. And this law is also used for other social animals, like guinea pigs(天竺鼠).

A hotel only for cats

Hotels usually don't let pets in. But Hotel Cat, a cat hotel in the UK, is only for cats. It has different kinds of rooms for cats, including rooms for cat families, rooms for baby cats and a garden where cats can make new friends. It also offers services like brushing(梳理), showering(淋浴) and eye cleaning. The price for one night is about £30.
