Biologists in Alaska are counting walruses (海象) in the
Arctic Ocean. The aim: to decide whether the walrus is an
endangered species (物种).
In 1990, biologists counted 201,039 walruses in the
Arctic Ocean. Now, over 20 years later, it seems there are
fewer. After three years of counting, the US Fish and Wildlife
Service estimates that there are only 15,164 walruses in the
area. But, scientists say, “They’ve not finish counting.”
“We’re still working on the final population estimate,”said Suzann. She is a wildlife biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Endangered Species?
What’s a possible reason for the lower walrus count? Brendan Cummings, a spokesperson for the Center for Biologist Diversity (多样性), thinks many walruses are dying. He believes global warming is melting the ice in the waters between Alaska and Russia. Tha t’s the area where most walruses live. However, they can’t live without ice.
But other scientists aren’t so sure that the walruses are dying out. The US Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Doug Bum said, “We realized we were missing a lot of walrus group.” So the walrus count goes on. The counting hasn’t been easy. Scientists sometimes have go guess the number of walruses that are underwater.
US law requires scientists to count the walruses every three years. Then, if the mammals (哺乳动物) turn out to be an endangered species, they will be counted every year.
66. What’s the purpose of counting walruses in the Arctic Ocean?
A. To study the living habits of walruses.
B. To show the bad environment of the earth.
