篇7:写濒临危机动物的英语作文北极熊

全文共 3755 字

+ 加入清单

When the Arctic Ocean freezes over in the autumn, polar bears set off in search of their favorite meals: fatty ringed seals and bearded seals. By the summer, the sea ice begins to melt and break apart. Deprived of access to the tasty seals, polar bears spend the summer fasting. At least, thats whats supposed to happen. As the planet warms, the warmer ice-free season is getting longer and longer. So whats a hungry bear to do?

Scientists once thought that polar bears might survive by supplementing their pinniped diet by turning to terrestrial foods like snow geese, their eggs and caribou.

"Weve had this debate in the literature about whether terrestrial foods are nutritionally relevant to polar bears during the on-land season when the ice has melted."

University of Alberta biologist Nick Pilfold.

"And weve known for a long time, going back to research in the early 70s, even going to back to early explorer logs, that polar bears will consume terrestrial based foods. But the debate was always whether those foods actually add up, energetically." In other words, do these substitutes provide enough nutrition to make up for the lost seals?

To find out, Pilfold and his colleagues estimated the weight lost each day by polar bears in the wilds of western Hudson Bay during the ice-free season, when they could ostensibly be chowing down on terrestrial foods. Then they compared that to the weight lost by bears that are temporarily held in Manitobas Polar Bear Alert Program.

While captive, the bears do not eat. They drop about one kilogram each day. But the wild bears, who had access to the Arctic snack bar, lost the same amount of weight each day. The results are in the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.

"Which is really saying that the terrestrial foods do not have dense enough energy to offset the mass loss. So this idea that bears can just switch from eating sea ice–based food to land food and thats going to help supplement against longer ice-free seasons, that really doesnt show up in the data."

The problem is that polar bears evolved to rely on the marine diet.

"The food on land is protein and carbohydrate based, and the food the polar bears really focus on is fat. Fat is the name of the game for these bears; theyre highly adapted to absorbing that fat into their system and putting it onto their body as body mass, so they can fast on it later on. And the only thing thats going to provide them with that type of fat are marine mammals. And they can only access those marine mammals when theres sea ice."

Adult males can go eight months without food. But younger, sub-adult bears, which are no longer nursing and must hunt, cant last as long without sea ice. So as the Arctic warms, younger polar bears will disproportionately die out. Leaving the species survival in doubt.

北冰洋在秋季结冰以后,北极熊就会出发去寻求它们最喜欢的食物:富含脂肪的海豹和胡子海豹。海冰在夏季开始融化断裂。这使北极熊在夏季无法吃到美味的海豹,所以它们进入禁食期。至少,情况应该是这样。但是由于地球变暖,温暖的无冰季节越来越长。那饥饿的北极熊要怎么办?

科学家曾经认为,北极熊可能会转向陆地上的食物来补充它们对鳍足类动物饮食的需求,进而生存下去,这些陆地食物包括雪雁、雪雁蛋和北美驯鹿。

“文献中有过这类辩论,即在寒冷融化时陆地食物是否能满足北极熊的营养需求。”

尼克·皮尔福德是加拿大阿尔伯塔大学的生物学家。

“通过上世纪70年代初的研究,还有早期的探险者日志,我们很早以前就知道,北极熊会以陆地食物为食。但是辩论的焦点在于,这些食物是否能增加北极熊的能量。”换句话说,这些替代食物能否为北极熊提供足够的营养,弥补不能进食海豹带来的损失?

为了解开这个疑惑,皮尔福德及同事对西哈德逊湾荒野地区的北极熊在无冰季期间每天失掉的体重进行了估算,从表面上看,北极熊在这段时间食用了陆地食物。随后,他们将这一数据与通过马尼托巴北极熊预警计划暂时捕得的北极熊所失掉的体重进行了对比。

在被关期间,北极熊不吃东西。它们的体重每天大约下降1公斤。虽然野生北极熊能享用北极“小吃”,但是它们的体重每天也同样会下降1公斤。这一研究结果发表在《生理学和生化动物学》期刊上。

“显然结果表明,陆地食物不能为北极熊提供足以抵消大量损失的能量。所以,北极熊可以从食用海冰下面的食物转向食用陆地食物,并帮助它们对抗日益延长的无冰季这个观点,并没有在这项数据中得到证明。”

问题是,北极熊进化成了依靠海洋食物的动物。

“陆地食物以蛋白质和碳水化合物为基础,而北极熊需要的食物以脂肪为主。脂肪是这些熊真正需要的东西;它们高度适应的情况是,将脂肪吸收进它们的系统中,然后把这些脂肪放在身上以增加体重,这样它们之后就可以依靠这些脂肪来度过禁食期。唯一能提供给北极熊这种脂肪的就是海洋哺乳动物。但是它们只能在有海冰时食用到这些海洋哺乳动物。”

成年北极熊可以8个月不进食。但是小一些的未成年北极熊已经不再被哺育,它们必须要去猎食,可是它们不能在漫长的无冰季期间一直不进食。所以,随着北极地区变暖,较小的北极熊将会大批死亡。这使这些物种的生存成为问题。

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.

动物与我们人类一样,有思想,有感情,也有它们自己的生活方式,更有自由权。

Animal and human, thoughts, feelings, have their own way of life, more freedom.

我们不应该去破坏他们安详和谐的生活,我们也无权去破坏他们的生活,当然,更没有理由去指责伤害他们。

We should not go to destroy their peaceful and harmonious life, we have no right to destroy their life, of course, theres no reason to blame them.

每当我们的饭桌旁摆上一道道香喷喷的菜,比如:蛇、青蛙、等动物。我们是不是应该想一想,我们每吃一种动物,就等于放走了多少对农民对庄家有害的虫。我们更是不是也应该换位思考一下,它们都在齐心协力的抓害虫,可人类不但不领情,反而把它们当做他们的食物,当作我们人类每天赚钱的东西,他们是多么可恶呀!

When we put on the table a tasty dish, such as: snake, frog, and other animal. We Shi Bushi should think, each of us to eat an animal, is tantamount to let go of the number of farmers to the harmful insects. We Shi Bushi should also think about, they all make concerted efforts to catch insects, human can not only do not appreciate, but put them as their food, as we human beings to make money every day things, how they are hateful!

如今,地球上的许多生物已经很罕见了,甚至有的已经濒临灭绝了!如果地球上没有了动物,地球将会变成什么样,人类又将会变成什么样?

Now, a lot of life on earth is very rare, and even some on the verge of extinction! If there were no animal, the earth will become what, and humans will become what?

我想,是我们人类好好反省的时候了,如果再这样下去的话,我们将会成为动物们的敌人了,更别谈什么“与狼共舞”

I think, when we reflect on the human, if this goes on, we will be the animal enemies, not to mention what "dances with wolves"

人类,快点醒醒吧!保护野生动物,现在开始,还来得及!

I love small animals very much, but my favorite is the puppy.

The puppy is not big, but the head is big. There is a pair of small triangular ears, faces are small. A pair of gem-like flexible and translucent big eyes, a round yo black nose. The body of the hair was yellow, smooth like painted a layer of oil. Tail hairy, often swing to swing, feels very comfortable.

Puppy eating food will be issued a little sound, eat quickly, it seems hungry look. Sleep when motionless, very quiet, a movement to lift his head to see, nothing to keep lying on the ground to sleep. When you play the game, if you are happy, will be hard to put the tail, jumping to the distance, the tongue often stretched out.

Because my neighbor has a puppy, so I often play with it. Puppys head is big, I called it "big head". Once, I just returned to the door, see the dog playing on the roadside, running around. I was ready to open the door, the dog immediately ran over, shook his head in front of me, as if very welcome me.

I really like this lovely and naughty puppy! I believe you will like this "big head" it!

篇20:拯救动物英语作文

全文共 1642 字

Mistreat your animals and someone might take them from you.

Allen (not his real name) is driving north out of Virginia in the middle of the night, with stolen property in the back of his van. But Allen isn‘t a criminal – in fact he normally would never dream of breaking the law.

The “property” he stole is a dog he calls Flash. Allen doesn‘t particularly want Flash – in fact, in a few hours he‘ll drop him off at a stranger‘s house and never see him again. “I couldn‘t just stand by and do nothing,” he explains. “The owner was plainly neglecting the dog, but the police wouldn‘t do anything about it.”

For over a year, Flash had been tied to a tree in front of someone‘s house. “He was sick and malnourished,” says Allen. “More than once I saw [the owner] kick him for no reason at all.” Allen had repeatedly tried to get the owner to take better care of the animal, or to give it away to someone who would. Finally, he took matters into his own hands – in the dead of night, he took Flash off his chain and drove away with him.

Within an hour, Flash had a new license tag and was being treated by a veterinarian who knew better than to ask questions. Pictures of the dog were put up on animal rescue websites, asking for someone to adopt the dog. A couple in New York offered to take the dog, and animal lovers in states along the way agreed to provide transportation.

Nobody can say for sure how many animals like Flash are ‘rescued‘ every year – receiving stolen property is a crime, so rescuers tend to stay in the shadows. But a growing number of empty collars attests to their work as more and more animals find their way to loving homes.
