一说到动物，人们就想捕回去杀死吃它们的肉和刮下它们的皮毛来赚钱，可是人类万万没有想到的是由于乱捕滥杀等对待动物，使得动物的种类一天天减少，而有的动物已经到达“濒临灭绝”据新闻报道：野生东北虎在我国不足500只、而非洲象只有约47至69万只、长江江豚不到1500头、而东部美洲狮已经灭绝、白令海牛也已经灭绝、也使生物圈和食物链遭到严重破坏，这都是人类在地球上一一所犯下的罪行，我们要保护这些美丽的生灵、保护生物圈、保护食物链。

为了保护动物;国家在各个地区建立动物园;除此之外，在一些地区还建立自然保护区和自然风景区;另外还在各省各地区设有省级林业局和市级林业局;还有在森林设有森林派出所;国家在动物界设有国家几级动物的级别;国家还分别颁布和颁发了保护动物的法律和文件。

如果人类一错再错下去的话，那么这个人类赖以生存的家园就会毁于人类手中。

我们和动物一样都要生活，如果我们把地球上的动物全部杀死，最终伤害了我们自己。

我们是动物的朋友，动物也是我们的朋友，是生存在赖以生存的朋友。

我们要保护动物，让它们给我们造福，保护动物是我们的责任，保护动物刻不容缓。

我总结出一条一荣一耻：“以保护动物为荣，以捕杀动物为耻”。

Now he knows exactly where to go potty, what time to eat, and how to play. He used to be too energetic and he liked biting. But now, as hes growing up, hes gentle and obedient. On week days, I take him to parks. I toss out his toy and he goes and get it. He loves this game. Nicholas brings me lots of fun and Im proud of being his owner.

For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.

In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

为了保护我们的生态资源，人们应该意识到任何物种的损失至少是知识的源泉和自然美的源泉。因此，本应采取以下措施：制订污染标准以降低有毒物质;严禁杀害某些稀有物种;应建立国家公园作为野生动物，保护区。

只有人类采取一些激烈的措施，野生动物才能被保存下来。

Protecting the Wild Animals

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.

上周，我看了一部令人印象非常深刻的关于熊猫的纪录片。一位教授在20年代80年代早期就开始研究熊猫，他到野外生活，多年寻找野生大熊猫的踪迹。结果，他发现，正是人类，让这些可爱的动物面临灭绝。当时，许多人认为，大熊猫变少是因为新生儿的低出生率。这是不正确。人们为了利益砍伐树木，熊猫失去了家园，也没有食物吃。多亏了这些有价值的数据，政府采取了政策去保护它们。所以现在，大熊猫的数量正在增加。人们意识到保护环境的重要性，这也是最好的方法来保护野生动物，因为它们是大自然不可或缺的一部分。

我家有一只既可爱又淘气的小白狗，它叫小白。

小白贪睡极了。一到中午，它就会找个暖和的地方，无忧无虑地睡起了大觉，不管你怎么叫它，喊它，它都像没听见似的，左耳朵进，右耳朵出，一点也不理睬你。

有一次，在它睡觉时，我偷偷地把它的食物藏了起来，它醒时，找不到了美餐，简直是像热锅上的蚂蚁，又像沸腾了的饺子，心急如焚，“汪汪”地叫个不停，似乎是在喊“我的事物呢?我饿得不行了!”

忽然，它看见我得意洋洋地走了过来，像福尔摩斯一样，似乎有了答案，便虎视眈眈地看着我，过了一会儿，迅速地跑过来，咬住了我的裤子，拼命地往后拽，我也不干示弱，使劲地往前走，唉，由于小白的牙齿锋利，所以我被它拉了过去。

小白再三“恳求”我，眼睛里露出了焦急地神情，我无可奈何，把藏在柜子里的食物给了它。

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 aloneare 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。

我最喜欢的小动物是小鸡。

My favorite little animal is chicken.

恰好，我家楼下307号就养了几只小鸡。每天我们经过时，这些小鸡都偏着脑袋看我们哩。

Just right, my house downstairs 307, raised a few chickens. Every day we pass by, the chicks lean on our heads.

小鸡全身毛茸茸的，很可爱。一身黄黄的羽毛像披着一件金黄的礼服。小鸡有一双尖尖的小嘴。圆圆的眼睛看人时还蛮有精神的呢。

The chickens are hairy and lovely. A yellow feather like wrapped in a golden dress. The chicken has a pair of pointed little mouth. The round eyes are quite spiritual when they look at people.

我没看到它们的耳朵，但是小鸡不可能没有耳朵。如果没有耳朵的话，那我们走过去时，它们怎么会偏着脑袋朝我们瞧呢?

I dont see their ears, but chickens cant have ears. If there were no ears, how could they lean on our heads when we walked by?

妈妈说，刚孵出的小鸡还只能吃小米粒，不能吃谷子或玉米，还要经常给它们喝水。要是有小虫子给它们吃，它们一定会长得更神气。

Mother said, the newly hatched chickens can only eat small grains of rice, can not eat millet or corn, but also often give them water. If they had worms, they would have grown stronger.

我多喜欢这些可爱的小鸡呀。但是爸爸妈妈说现在还不能养，不养好的话，它们会死的。

I love these lovely chicks. But mom and

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.

导语：熊猫不仅是中国最稀有的珍贵动物，而且已成为世界上最珍贵最稀有的动物，世界各大动物园内每种有绝灭危险的珍稀动物笼前要悬挂熊猫为图案的徽志。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

The giantPanda(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 wild and 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[4])， 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.

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.

大熊猫(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)(“黑白猫脚”)是哺乳动物被分类在熊的家族，熊科，原产于中国西部和西南部的中央。这是很容易认识到它的大，独特的黑色斑块周围的眼睛，耳朵和圆身体上的。虽然技术上的一种食肉动物，熊猫的食物98%是竹子。然而，他们可以吃其他食物，如蜂蜜、鸡蛋、鱼和山药。

大熊猫一直是最喜欢的公众，至少在部分上事实上的物种一个吸引人的婴儿般的可爱，使它看起来像一个活的泰迪熊的帐户。事实上，它通常描绘安静地吃竹子，而不是狩猎，也增加了其无辜的形象。虽然大熊猫是因为他们经常认为温顺可爱，人们一直认为他们会攻击人类，通常认为是刺激而不是掠夺行为。

大熊猫有一个非常独特的黑白外套。成人测量约1.5米长，约75厘米高的肩膀。雄性的体重可达115公斤(约253磅)，雌性通常比雄性小，有时体重可达100公斤(约220磅)，大熊猫生活在山区，如四川、甘肃、和西藏。而中国龙历来为中国国徽，下半年的第二十世纪以来，大熊猫也已成为中国的一个非正式的国徽。它的形象出现在大量的现代中国纪念银，金，白金硬币。

大熊猫有一种不寻常的爪子，用拇指和五指;“拇指”实际上是一个修改sesamoid骨，这有助于保持竹子熊猫吃。斯蒂芬·杰·古尔德写了一篇关于这个的文章，然后用熊猫拇指的书名作为一本有关进化论和智能设计的论文。大熊猫有一条短尾巴，长约15厘米。大熊猫通常可以活到20-30岁，而生活在圈养。

直到最近，科学家们还认为大熊猫独自度过了大部分的生命，只有在繁殖季节，雄性和雌性才会相遇。最近的研究描绘了一幅不同的画面，其中一小群熊猫共享一大片领土，有时在繁殖季节外相遇。

和大多数亚热带哺乳动物一样，但与大多数熊不同，大熊猫不冬眠。

饮食

在华盛顿国家动物园的大熊猫吃竹子，d.c.despite分类学分类为一种食肉动物，熊猫有饮食主要是草食性的，其中包括几乎全部的竹子。这是进化上最近的适应。熊猫缺乏适当的酶来有效地消化竹子，因此从中获得的能量和蛋白质很少。

而主要食草，大熊猫仍然保留果断的牙齿，要吃的肉，鱼，蛋当可用。在圈养，动物园通常维持大熊猫的竹子的饮食，虽然有些将提供专门配方饼干或其他膳食补充剂。
