Zebra 斑馬
The stripes are what set the zebra apart from the rest of the horse family. They look cool and also let the zebra blend in with its surroundings for protection from some enemies. There once were a lot of zebras in many parts of Africa, but they have become endangered in some areas because of hunting.
· I live on the continent of Africa.
· I usually live on flat, open plains. But I also can live up in the mountains of South Africa.
· I don't build a house but rest on the ground or stay standing when I'm tired.
· I look a lot like a horse but I'm a little bit smaller. I have big ears and a short bunch of hair on my head called a mane. There also are hooves on the bottoms of my feet.
· My body is silver-white or yellowish-white with black stripes. My head also is white but with brown markings, and my face is a light brown or tan color.
· I'm smaller than most horses but still am pretty big. I can get to be about 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) tall if you measure from my hooves to my shoulders.
· I can weigh all different amounts, but I'm usually between 400 and 1,000 pounds (about 200 to 500 kilograms).
· You probably would call me a vegetarian. But scientists call me a herbivore because I only eat leaves, grass and other plants.
· I actually have trouble protecting myself, especially from larger animals like lions and from humans who hunt me. But when I do get into trouble, I often can outrun those chasing me.
· I travel with friends in groups called herds. And at one time in the past, I almost became extinct.
譯文
斑馬——地圖上涂紅色的地方是我的家
有趣的常識:條紋是區別于斑馬和馬家族中的其它馬的標志。這些條紋看起來很漂亮,也使得斑馬和它周圍的環境相融合,以保護自己免受敵人的攻擊。在非洲的許多地區都曾經有大量的斑馬,但是由于獵捕,一些地區的斑馬已瀕臨滅絕。
·我住在非洲大陸。
·我通常住在平坦、空曠的草原上,但我也能住在南非的山上。
·我不蓋房子,而當我累的時候,我就在地上休息或保持站立。
·我看上去很象一匹馬,但我比它們要小一點兒。我有一雙大耳朵,頭上有一束稱為鬃毛的短發,在我的腳底也有蹄子。
·我的身體是銀白色或黃白色與黑色條紋相間。我的頭也是白色的,但有棕色的斑紋。還有,我的臉是淺棕色或棕褐色。
·和大多數的馬相比,我要小一些,但還是相當大的。 如果你從我的蹄量到肩,我大約能有5英尺(約1.5米)高。
·我的體重可能不盡相同,但一般都在400至1000磅之間(約200至500千克)。
·可能你會說我是素食者,但科學家稱我為草食動物,因為我只吃葉子、草和其它植物。
· 實際上,我并不善于自我保護,特別是當獅子那樣的大型動物和人類獵捕我的時候。但是當我遇到麻煩時,我總能逃脫他們的追捕。
·我和朋友成群出行,稱為“牧群”。曾經在過去一個時期,我幾乎瀕臨滅絕。
