写英语动物的作文(20篇)

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor

studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild

giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that

made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant

panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not

true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and

they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the

policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is

increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it

is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the

nature.

目前，濒危的动物正在日益剧增。如何保护濒危动物成了我们的当务之急。人们疯狂的捕杀动物，为了它们的肉、皮毛。我们这样做是不对的，因为动物是我们的朋友，我们应该保护它们，而不是将它们赶尽杀绝。大熊猫就是濒危动物的代表，它生活在森林里，以竹子为食，它们仅仅依靠着自然保护区生存。我们应该停止对动物们的捕杀，更好地保护它们

In the animal kingdom, both predators and prey species utilize one of two things to survive—stealth or speed. Both on land and beneath the sea, those who master either evasion or capture through these methods will thrive, living to reproduce and achieve the unspoken directive of their species. While stealth—through camouflage or evasion—is common, perhaps the most thrilling feature of many of the animals we find in the ocean are the fantastic speeds that can not only be achieved, but often maintained for long periods of time.Speed represents a tremendous expenditure, an investment of energy that must be replenished via consumed calories. Therefore, any observer should marvel not only at the existence of this trait, but also at the bounty of an ecosystem and the ability of individuals to draw their needs from that system. Their existence is a reflection of the fantastic diversity and abundance of our oceans. Here are ten of the fastest aquatic animals—both predator and prey.

动物世界里，不管是捕食者还是被捕食者，暗袭和速度是它们赖以生存的两大法宝。许多陆地和海洋生物正是通过这两项技能得以繁衍成长，维持在自然界中的生存地位。对于暗袭，大多数动物拥有独特的保护色和逃遁技巧，以此捕食或躲避天敌。然而，在海洋世界，失去遮蔽物和光线，速度才是生存王道。许多海洋生物爆发力惊人，不仅可以很快达到超高时速，更为赞叹的是凭借其惊人耐力能游行数小时。长时间竞速意味着巨大的体能消耗，需要通过摄入大量卡路里补充体力。因此，人们不仅会对这一特点感到惊奇，更会对它们身处生物系统底部却能以个体能力获得所需而惊叹不已。它们的存在就是海洋多样性及丰富性的最好体现。

下午，我和爸爸去看小鸭子，看见一只鸭子肚子朝上，翅膀和脚在抖动，它叫的声音很大，好像在哭一样。爸爸把小鸭子扶起来，小鸭子又倒了。我突然想起来我把小鸭子扔进箱子里的事，呀!我是杀人凶手呀!我哭了。小鸭子最后死了，我很伤心。

Animals Need Protecting

Animals 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 careBecause 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. WhyBecause 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 plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

Why should we protect wildlife animals?

Do you know of any endangered animals?Why are they in danger?

I think there are many endangered animals in the world,such as tigers and pandas.When farmers cut down trees,tigers can no longer hide and hunt.Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money.And there are few places where pandas can live.We are not alone in the world.We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us.So protecting wildlife animals are very important.We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed.If each of us can plant a tree and build a birdhouse,the world will be more beautiful.It is very easy but useful.

现在，有些动物已经灭绝了，就拿快要灭绝的鳄鱼来说，虽然很凶猛，但人类更凶猛。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。鳄鱼长着锐利的牙齿，和硕大的食物胃口，我们都说鳄鱼可怕，但鳄鱼更怕人类，在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品，所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

朋友们，动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态环境严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。消灭动物，就是在消灭人类自己，如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了，那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物，珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧!让我们从现在做起，从我做起，保护动物，使世界变得更美好吧!保护动物，就是保护人类自己。

Cheetahs paw is straight, can firmly in the ground, change the running direction. And it is the long tail, can have the effect of acceleration while on the run.

The running speed of cheetah is very surprising, speed is about 130 kilometers per hour, with fast on the highway running car.

But, its endurance is poor, high speed running is limited to a few seconds, so has been hailed as a sprint champion.

Cheetahs hunting is also very interesting. When it found that the deer would be around to look at the first, and see what the intruder. If not, it is with lightning speed to recover to the prey. Easily catch later, it will pull the prey to the grass, enjoy the meal. If the prey in a tree, it jump into the tree to catch the prey, big eat a meal.

在动物世界里，我最喜欢猎豹了。

猎豹长得真威猛。它的头平而滑，耳朵短短的。两只眼睛像铜铃一般，炯炯有神。脸的两边有两块突出的肌肉，白白的，上面有一粒粒小黑点，点上有一根根钢针般的胡须。身上有一个一个黑色的斑点。除了肚皮是白色的，其余部位的毛都是金黄色的。它的整个身躯呈现流线形，适合急速奔跑。它的四肢非常发达，富有弹性。猎豹的爪子比较直，能牢牢地巴住地面，改变奔跑方向。而它的那条长长的尾巴，在奔跑时能起到加速的作用呢。

猎豹的奔跑速度很是惊人，每小时的速度大约有130千米，跟高速公路上飞速奔跑的车子差不多。

但是，它的耐力差，高速奔跑只限于几秒钟，所以被誉为短跑冠军。

猎豹捕食也很有意思。当它发现鹿时，先会向四周观察一下，看看有什么不速之客。如果没有，它就以闪电般的速度向猎物追去。轻而易举地捉住之后，它就把猎物拖到草丛中，美美地饱餐一顿。如果猎物在树上，它就跳到树上把猎物给逮住，大吃一顿。

猎豹真是一种讨人喜欢的动物啊!可是，现在有些不法分子为了自身的利益在大肆抓捕猎豹，再这样下去，猎豹会灭绝的。请大家行动起来，一起来保护它吧。

there is only so much land on the earth, and so what we can do with it is limited. some people believe that human needs for farmland, housing and industry should come first, while others believe that some land should be set aside for endangered animals. i am of the opinion that we should reserve some land for the worlds animals for the following reasons.

first, mankinds need for land is constantly growing. if the demand is not checked in some way, humans will eventually develop all of the earths available land. at that time, mankind will have no more room to grow, and all the wild animals will have disappeared, as well as other valuable resources. second, humans are able to innovate and can use the land that they already possess in more efficient ways. animals are unable to do this. once their land is taken away from them they will die. third and last, endangered animals are an important part of the biodiversity of our planet. if they disappear, we cannot predict what the effect will be. therefore, we should treat such animals as a valuable resource to be protected.

to sum up, the worlds endangered animals are an important resource and we should protect them by setting aside some land for them. although mankinds need for land continues to grow, people are intelligent and inventive enough to put the land they have to better use. in this way, we can have enough land for farming, housing and industry, and preserve the biodiversity of the planet at the same time.

小鹿走到小动物们身旁，问：“你们为什么哭泣呀?”小猴说：“原来这儿的树木长得葱葱茏茏的，树枝很挺拔，我们就在树枝上自由自在地嬉戏、玩耍，可现在树木都被人们砍断了，我们没有嬉戏的地方了，让我们怎么运动呢?”话音刚落，小白兔说：“以前我们有绿油油的草地，现在被人们割掉了，草地上鲜嫩的蘑菇也没有了，我们没有了食物，怎么生活呀!”这时，小鸟飞来了，说：“以前树枝是我们的家，可现在树枝没有了，我们无家可归了，叫我们怎么活得下去啊!”

小鹿仰望着天空，默默地祈祷：“人类啊!你们不要再伤害它们了，快去帮助它们吧!还给它们一个幸福安宁的家园吧!”

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!

My favorite little animal - puppy.

动物需要人类的保护

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。
