小白兔穿着雪白的衣裳，顶着一对招风耳，红宝石般的眼睛闪闪发光，短短的尾巴活像一个小绒球，可爱极了，我非常喜欢它！

我向阿姨讨来了一根胡萝卜，小心翼翼地放到了它嘴边，它看到了美食，两眼放光，好像机关枪似的，马上张开它的两颗大板牙，大口大口地啃了起来，那样子像饿了三天三夜似的。我又将胡萝卜提高了一些，这会儿它可算吃不到了，在笼子里狂抖，怒目圆睁地盯着我，我只好把胡萝卜放了回去，这次，它吸取了教训，用力地把胡萝卜拉走，抱到一个角落津津有味地吃起来，真是让人又生气又好笑。

吃完了胡萝卜，兔子就耷拉着耳朵，睡起了大觉，只见它双眼微微地闭着，一副悠然自得的样子。

这只兔子真可爱，我喜欢这只可爱的小白兔，从此，我一有时间就去看它。

天生对人家的狗没有好感，总是没有安全感 。为了巴结它的主人，总是奋力的狂吠。但是自己家的狗却有着恰恰相反的希冀，越是凶狠，越是安全感爆棚。看家护院的狗——这是谁家的狗真好看 。那家卖醋的狗，却因为狗的凶恶，越来越难卖了。有只小母狗喜欢偷偷的跟在后面，一不小心，王汪汪的叫几声，虽然不让人害怕，却让人厌恶，好好地心情给脏污了。

有的狗转会看主人的颜色，主人生气了，不是摇尾巴就是点头哈腰，狗奴才狗奴才，看来这称呼是没有白叫啊。牧羊犬看守羊群尽心尽力，有时候也许狗认为它是羊的主人，其实羊或许也是这样认为。因为只有狗陪伴着羊群，一天天一月月一年年，至于那位传说中的主人，只有宰杀肥羊以此来祭祀上苍的时刻才可以一睹他尊贵的面容。也许这也不是主人，只是远远派来的奴才而已，要不然怎么那么凶残，那么狠毒，以至于稍微有一滴新鲜的血液稍不留神滴落尘埃，他都要狠狠的挥动皮鞭，把那一只只可爱的牧羊犬抽打得不成狗形，甚至不给它们吃喝，以至于可爱的狗狗都要流浪街头，甚至于活活饿死。

更有趣的是有的宠物狗长得好看点，或者说叫得恰到好处，深得主人欢心，于是乎它便有了特权，可以从容的在院子里吃喝拉撒，甚至对看家护院的狼狗都要叫唤几声，好笑的是那些凶狠的狼狗竟然放奴女才匍匐在皇帝的脚下，以至于摇起了尾巴，真是让人无语了。尤其是主人在的时候，那家伙，上蹿下跳，对所有的狗都敢咬上几句。这是条狗啊，还是那不懂事的猴子，偏偏惹得主人不断的抚摸它柔软的狗毛，它也伸出舌头，把主人从头到脚都干放肆的舔上一舔，真是让羊看的胆战心惊，爱，谁叫咱是一只任人宰杀的羊，而不是一直会教会摇尾巴的羊唉。下辈子不要再投羊道，投狗胎是多么美好啊。正当可怜的羊群浮想连天时，遭到了鞭子无情的抽打---不吃草瞎寻思什么那，还不快点长膘，年底了都到时候老子吃什么，喝什么。

有的狗特别凶，不是狂吠的那种。叫够不要，咬狗不叫。老话说的真对。咬人的狗，你想想它得有多么大的胆子，简直是狗胆包天了。而且特别喜欢咬人，一咬就得撕下一块肉的那种，时间久了，鸽子肉都不吃了，专门吃人肉，而且人家的消化功能很异常，平时可以很长时间不吃不喝，关键时候咬你一口，就够人家饱一年甚至一辈子了，连骆驼都得自叹不如，连王八都得拜它为师。这样的狗，深得主人欢心，可以放到一个单独的院子，嗯，这个院子全权交给你了，汪汪汪，那清脆嘹亮的声音久久的在羊群里面回荡，仿佛这条狗不是狗，而是一个值得羊崇拜的神了。

I have a particularly beautiful little goldfish, is the last to the park to catch.

Small goldfish body fire red, like dressed in a gorgeous, glittering dance, was going to participate in the "golden fish dance"! A pair of eyes round yo, bulging, bright, like two crystal clear glass ball , But also flashing innocent, naughty light! Cherry mouth kept a together, as if to say: "little master, what you told, I was listening to it!" It seems to say: "I am very boring, can Take me out to play? "Red big tail thin and soft, like wearing a red silk woven into the skirt.

Little goldfish is my darling baby, I really like my little goldfish.

我家新来了一位“朋友”，它是一位特殊的朋友，它不是人而是一只小狗。它既贪吃又调皮，所以我叫它：小调皮。

它浑身雪白，从远处看像一团雪球可爱极了。摸起来光滑柔软。小调皮的眼睛乌黑发亮，像一颗黑宝石。它的鼻子可灵敏了，只要要一点东西他都闻的到。它嘴巴里的牙齿可锋利了，它这锋利的牙齿是专门吃骨头的。小调皮的耳朵听觉可好了，只要一有动静它就会像一位侦探一样巡逻。它的尾巴长长的，毛茸茸的。

有一次，妈妈把烧好的红烧肉端了出来，正好被小调皮看见了，它口水“直流三千尺”，忍不住要吃了，刚扑上就被妈妈逮住了，妈妈把小调皮关进了笼子里，我出去的时候看见小调皮被关进了笼子我不把它放出来，可是它拉着我的手让我帮它拿红烧肉吃，我看它可怜就给它拿了块，它吃完还要，我继续给他拿，不一会红烧肉被小调皮吃完了。

记得还有一次，妈妈说她有事出去一趟马上回来，她出门前叮嘱我作业做好才能看电视。我把作业做好之后就看电视了，过了一会妈妈回来了，她说你把作业拿给我看，我找来找去都找不到，最后被妈妈骂了一顿，最后才发现是被小狗叼走了。

这就是我的小调皮。

在那座山的尽头，就是那头小胖熊的家。走过蜿蜒的小路，游过清澈的小湖，那就是他那充满爱的小屋了。

小胖熊每天都坐在湖岸边等着，小鸟问他吧：“你在等什么啊?”小胖熊笑开了花地说着：“我在等我的好朋友小猪呢!”

等啊等，等啊等，小猪终于出现了，小胖熊赶紧从小屋里拿出世上最甜的蜂蜜迎接他的好朋友。

不久，小猪终于游上岸了，小猪甩干身上的水珠，两个久违的好朋友紧紧的拥抱在一起。小猪从衣袋里掏出几粒种子：。“我亲爱的朋友，猜猜，这是什么，这些种子种出来的可是是世界上最没的花，也是我们的花!”小猪开心地说。小胖熊拿着蜂蜜说：“这是世界上最好吃的蜂蜜，尝尝吧!”

他们愉快地度过了这一天，然后安静地，睡了。

又是新的一天，阳光明媚，这两个十分要好的朋友决定去种他们的花。一天天过去，小花逐渐长大，他们很用心地呵护小花。直到有一天，小猪生病了。

小胖熊看小猪很不对劲，在他睡着时，把他背进了医院，经过检查，医生说小猪快要死了。小胖熊就这样哭了一晚上，泪像最剔透的宝石，重重地砸在地上，每一滴都刺人心扉。他把小猪抬回了家，静静的守着他。清晨，下起了倾盆大雨，小猪越来越虚弱。

雨停了，天空出现了一道最亮的彩虹。他们的花儿绽放了，是那样的美，那样令人陶醉，残余的水珠被轻巧地弹开，取而代之的事零零星星的阳光。一只蜜蜂来采蜜，许久不愿离开。小猪在小胖熊温暖的背上睡着了，也许永远不会醒来了。

小胖熊流了一滴泪在花儿上，那花儿竟变成了小天使，轻轻托起了小猪，向天际慢慢的飞去……

大象决定举办一个有趣的运动会。大象让山羊，鸡，狗，猴子，猫当比赛运动员。比赛那天，其他动物都来看热闹。只见大象给山羊戴上青草项链;给鸡戴上玉米项链;给狗戴上肉骨头项链;给猴子戴上葡萄项链;给猫戴上小鱼项链。大家都觉得很奇怪，只听大象对大家说：“这是一场特殊的比赛。运动员们必须戴着各自的项链，从这里一直跑到对面山坡上的大松树旁，然后返回来。路上不许丢掉项链，谁最先跑回来，谁就是冠军。”

比赛正式开始了。运动员们拼命奔跑，可跑不远，都受不了食物的引诱。青草的香味一个劲儿的往山羊的鼻子里钻;狗被肉骨头馋得直流口水。

猴子建议说：“这样不行，咱们还是把项链换一下吧!”鸡，狗，猫都赞成，只有山羊不同意。它们也顾不了那么多，急忙换了项链，继续向前奔跑。这一次，鸡戴肉骨头项链;狗戴葡萄项链;猴子戴小鱼项链;猫戴玉米项链。只有山羊还戴着自己的青草项链。它几次想把青草吃了，可它还是克制住自己，它想：“不能吃!绝对不能吃!”

山羊好不容易才跑回终点，其他运动员早已回到终点等它了。大象正准备把金牌给山羊戴上时，猴子喊了起来：“不公平!不公平!我们虽然把项链换了，可还在，并没有丢啊!”大象解释说：“其实，这是一场耐力和毅力的比赛。你们虽然没有丢掉项链，可戴的并不是自己的。山羊顺利地完成了这场特殊的比赛，所以，山羊才是真正的冠军!”说完，大象便把那块闪闪发光的金牌挂在山羊的脖子上。森林里顿时响起一片欢呼声。

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.
