Many animals in Australia are not found anywhere else in the world, because
the island continent( 大陆)was divided from other continents for many years and these
animals developed in different ways.
Many of the animals in Australia are marsupials. Marsupials are animals whose babies are carried in a

height of a large red kangaroo is about 2 metres. When moving quickly, a red kangaroo can move at 70km
an hour!
A baby kangaroo, called a joey, is totally helpless at birth. It is only about 2cm long. The newly born

The San Diego Zoo is one of the world's largest and finest zoos. It lies in Balboa Park in the center of
the city. People go to zoos to see wild and unusual animals from other countries. But many people don't like to see animals locked in cages. At the San Diego Zoo, most of the 5, 500 animals are not in cages. They are
in natural settings.
The designers of the San Diego Zoo made it look like the natural home of the animals. Elephants
walk around the large place with trees and water that looks like their home in Africa or India. Monkeys
move from one tree to another. Lions and tigers walk around in holes and rockcovered places.
There are several ways to see the zoo. A comfortable way is to take a small train ride. Guides
describe the animals you see on your ride. They tell you where the animals come from and what their
favorite foods are, and they tell interesting stories about the zoo.
You can also see the zoo from the air. An air train takes you to go across the zoo. You can see the zoo
by walking, too. You should wear comfortable shoes and stop to rest in the chairs along the way. A few
friendly birds will visit you if you sit quietly. They will fly down from one of the hundreds of palm trees.
The palm trees remind you that you are in California.

Let's protect wild animals
Animals are people's friends. However,the number of wild animals is getting smaller and
smaller because wild animals' living places are becoming fewer and fewer. Also,many wild
animals can't find enough food to eat now. At the same time,people are killing animals for their
fur, teeth,bones or other parts of the body. And people keep on cutting down lots of trees. What
should we do to protect wild animals? We should stop killing them,set up more reserves for
them and plant more trees. Let's do something meaningful to the world.
