八年级英语下册Unit7What’sthehighestmountainintheworld(大熊猫的生活习性)素材(新版)人教新目标版
大熊猫的生活习性迄今为止,全世界200多个国家和地区几乎濒临绝迹的大熊猫,只有在我国的四川、陕西、甘肃部分地区的深山老林中才能找到它们的身影。
目前全世界的大熊猫总数仅1000只以下,而且数量在不断减少。
根据科学统计有78%的雌性大熊猫不孕,有90%的雄性大熊猫不育,这就给大熊猫的繁殖带来了许多困难。
在动物学上,大熊猫属食肉目。
据考证,大熊猫的古代名称有貘、白豹、虞等。
在200多万年前的更生世早期到100万年前的更生世中晚期,大熊猫已经广布于我国南半部,组成了大熊猫----剑齿象动物群;今天该动物群的许多种已经绝灭,而大熊猫却一直活下来,所以大熊猫有“活化石”之称。
熊猫从分类上讲属於哺乳纲食肉目动物,但食性却高度特化,成为以竹子为生的素食者。
熊猫这种独一无二的生活方式,却是长期自然历史选择适应的结果。
野生熊猫生活在人迹罕见的高山深谷密林之中,并且过着一种悠闲自在的生活。
这里所讲熊猫的活动,是从生态学研究范畴这个角度出发,探讨研究熊猫的巢域与核域、活动节律与作息制度、活动与能量消耗及采取的对策。
野生熊猫栖息於密林之中,它们生长到一定阶段要进行婚配和生育,即发情、求偶、交配、妊娠和育幼。
熊猫平时孤居,到了繁殖季节,雌雄互相吸引,在稠密的竹林里,唱出一曲曲恋歌,由此开始进行各种求爱活动。
熊猫是属於多雄争配制。
它们一生中产仔数量少,且幼仔不易成活。
由於熊猫生殖能力和育幼行为两方面的高度特化,使熊猫的种群增长十分缓慢,如保护管理跟不上,则数量日趋减少。
大熊猫主食竹子,也嗜爱饮水,大多数大熊猫的家园都设在溪涧流水附近,就近便能畅饮清泉。
大熊猫每天至少饮水一次,有的地方虽然食物很丰富,缺了水,也难以找到大熊猫的身影。
到了冬季,当高山流水被冰冻结以後,有的大熊猫也可能因为留恋自己家园的隐蔽条件和食物基地而不惜长途跋涉,沿沟而下,到谷中去饮水,然後返回家园。
大熊猫取水总是求远舍近,日复一日地走出一条明显的饮水路径。
