Nowadays, with the improvement of the people’s living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets. Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets. There are still even some people raising snakes and other unusual animals as their pets.

Does anyone have the same opinion of raising animals as pets? No, some people object to the idea of raising animals as pets. To them, animals have their own right to live a natural life like human beings. On the other hand, the way people raise animals as pets have a negative influence on the surroundings such as dogs’ barking at midnight, dogs’ chasing people on the street and so on. What’s more, some animals will transmit some diseases.

In my opinion, I do not like the idea to raise animals at pets. Animals have their own right to lead a life as they like. We should not deprive them of their natural right. In this way, we will live in a peaceful world in harmony with the other living creatures.

如今,随着人们生活水平的提高,有些人养成了饲养小动物或家畜作为宠物的习惯。一些养小狗或猫作为他们的宠物,而其他人饲养各种鸟类或鱼类作为他们的宠物。甚至还有一些人饲养蛇和其他不寻常的动物作为他们的宠物。

任何人都有相同的意见,饲养动物作为宠物吗?不,有些人反对将动物作为宠物饲养。对他们,动物有他们自己的权利,生活像人类一样自然。另一方面,人们饲养动物作为宠物的方式对环境有负面影响,如狗的叫声在半夜,狗追逐人在街上等。更甚的是,有些动物会传播某些疾病。

在我看来,我不喜欢养宠物。动物有他们自己的权利,过他们喜欢的生活。我们不应该剥夺他们的自然权利。这样,我们将生活在一个和平的世界中,与其他生物和谐相处。

Four little short legs, a fat, body, and a thorn and a small head and soft abdomen. Gather together a lovely and clever little hedgehog.

Little hedgehog is very cute, its whole body, in addition to the abdomen, the other parts are all full of thorns, like a small ball. Is everybody loved them.

Hedgehog thorns but its weapons, whenever meet enemies, it will shrink into a terrible thorn ball, even ferocious wild boar with it cant.

Hedgehog claws have sharp eagle claw, so, this is a hedgehog capture one of the good helper of other small animals!

In melon field, it is known, "a thief steal melons" it "steal" the melon method can and human picking melons method is not the same as well - when night falls, the little hedgehog will sneak up to melon field, the skin will be back into the "steel stab", then, a turn, they slipped behind the melon.

Hedgehog still have a kind of magic power, it is not only can swim, can catch a snake in the water! A hedgehog can swim because it lives in the bushes, afraid of hot, so can swim. It will catch a snake because it not only like to eat snakes, and the snake is cartilage, is afraid of the hedgehog.

I really want to know why the hedgehog has so many hard thorns? Did they to protect themselves, and evolve? Should be like this? Every time see little hedgehog, I think so.

This is my idea of a small animal, a hedgehog. Needless to say how much I like it.

四只小短腿,一个胖乎乎,并带刺的身体,加上小巧的脑袋和柔软的腹部。凑成了可爱机灵的小刺猬。

小刺猬很可爱,它的全身,除了腹部,其他部分全都长满了刺,像一个小刺球。真是人见人爱。

刺猬的刺可是它的武器,每当遇到天敌时,它就会缩成一个可怕的刺球,就连凶猛的野猪也拿它没办法。

刺猬的爪子有老鹰的爪子那样锐利,所以,这还是刺猬捕捉其他小动物的好帮手之一呢!

在瓜地里,它还是远近闻名的“偷瓜贼”,它“偷”瓜的方法可和人类摘瓜的方法不一样哦——每当夜幕降临,小刺猬就会偷偷窜到瓜地里,将瓜皮刺进背上的“钢刺”里,然后,一翻身,就背着瓜溜走了。

刺猬还有一种神奇的本领,就是不仅会游泳,还会在水里抓蛇!刺猬会游泳是因为它生活在灌木丛内,怕热,所以会游泳。它会抓蛇是因为它不仅仅喜欢吃蛇,而且,蛇是软骨组织,是怕刺猬的。

我很想知道刺猬为什么身上有那么多的硬刺?难道是它们为了保护自己,而演化出来的吗?应该是这样的吧?每当看到小刺猬时,我都这么想。

这就是我心目中的小动物——刺猬。不用说我是多么喜欢它了。

Many animals are in danger of dying out。 As is shown in the chart, we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue。 From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared。 Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger。 It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality。 Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future。

From the second picture, we can find some reasons。 Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry。 Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price。 So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity。 This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings。

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action。 We believe "no buying, no killing"。 First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger。 Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively。 Animals are our friends and part of our environment。 Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment。 In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development。

When we put on the table a tasty dish, such as: snake, frog, and other animal.

Dolphins are very clever. People often train them so that they can give a dolphin show which brings people a lot of happiness and joy.

Unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. Because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. Many people make money by hunting dolphins.

nimals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or planton the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

动物是自然资源,在整个历史过程中,人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物,获得它们的皮毛,把它们当作食物或运动方式,或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物也上了濒危动物名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。

为什么人们应该感到担忧呢?因为我们需要动物,因为它们一旦消失,就永远不会再出现。动物不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来源。在维持自然平衡中,每种动物都有其作用。毁灭某种动物会导致许多问题。比如,农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰,他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。 为什么?因为鹰吃鼠类,没有鹰控制它们的数量,鼠类就会迅速繁殖。

幸运的是,有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护濒危动物的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法

律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。

In our country, the number of wild animals is becoming smaller and smaller. Some of them are even dying outThe dangerous methods we human being has taken are as follows:

We have been cutting the trees to build houses, so the home of animals is intruded and they have to find new places to live. In this process, some of them died in the new environment.

The abuse of pesticide has also been endangering the life of wild animals.

In addition, in order to earn money, people have been killing the rare wild animals.

In that we have realized the threat of our behavior to our best friends, we should take actions to change such a condition by taking the following methods:

We should protect the wild animal by protecting the environment that they live in and protect themselves, not to hurt them. At the same time, we should establish more natural reserves for the wild animals.

I believe as long as work together to protect the wild animals, our life will be more and more comfortable.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is clearly shown in the bar chart, the kinds of wild animals have decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced on average each year, there were only 1.5 million left till 2010.

There are several reasons accounting for this problem. Apart from the polluted environment and natural disasters, illegal killing is an important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for fashion and a big profit, which can be seen vividly from the right picture. This has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

In my opinion, it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. A national public campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some firm laws to forbid abuse killing. Only in this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

许多动物都面临灭绝的危险。显然这个柱状图所示,野生动物的种类急剧下降在过去的几十年。每年平均30000野生动物减少,只剩下150万到2010。

占这个问题有几个原因。除了环境污染和自然灾害,非法捕杀是一个重要的原因。人类正在试图猎杀野生动物对于时尚和一个很大的利润,从右边可以看到生动的画面。这导致了动物的数量急剧减少。

在我看来,我们是时候采取快速行动保护他们。国家公共活动应该推出给动物一个良好的生活环境。此外,政府应该通过一些公司法律禁止虐待杀害。只有用这种方法我们才能与野生动物和谐相处。

导语:动物是人类的朋友,可是每天都有着很多的动物被人类消灭,但是这依然动摇不了我们保护小动物的决心,下面和小编一起来看看动物英语作文:熊猫。希望对大家有所帮助。

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) ("black-and-white cat-foot") is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wildand over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China(another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221), with twenty pandas living outside of China.[citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg (253 pounds)。 Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg (220 pounds)。 Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.[citation needed]

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

[edit] Diet

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.
