哺乳动物介绍 英文

Hello everyone! Today our group is going to give a presentation about mammals.As one of species evolves from late Jurassic period(侏罗纪晚期), mammalians’ brains are more developed and specialized than any other class of animals. Mammals are characterized by mammary glands(乳腺) that are modified for producing milk. All mammals have special sweat glands(汗腺) and hair.Here are five mammals we want to share with you:The first of are pandas. Panda is one of the most precious animals in the world. With white and black color, these animals are very fluffy and a little clumsy. Known as Chinese treasures, panda is a kind of animal that is endemic to China, they’re living in Sichuan province. Bamboo is their favorite food. Because of its cute appearance, panda is deep loved by the world public. 1961, WWF established its mark on the giant panda, the panda has become a symbol of the most important species conservation, also as a goodwill important representatives in the diplomatic activities in China.The second one is polar bear, the largest terrestrial carnivorous animal. The polar bear is a bear native largely within the Arctic Circle encompassing(围绕) the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land messes. It is the world’s largest land carnivore(食肉动物) and also the largest bear. It has thick fat and hair to stay warm, its white appearance on white snow is good protective coloration. It can move both on land and sea, thus it’s an advantage for a polar bear to catch food in such an extremely harsh climate. Nevertheless global warming has impact on the ice nowadays. The ice melts quickly in the two poles, which has a bad influence on polar bears. Their homes has been destroyed, the prey is also in reduction. We must take measures to protect these animals, for they’re in danger, they’re the treasure of nature.The third one is t he Roe Deer(狍子).The program of Dad, Where Are We Going has been very popular among many people, one of the period programs showed that these five pair fathers and children came to the northeast rural, and saw a cute animal——the roe deer, which make much more people aware of it. The roe deer is also called dwarf deer or wild sheep, which are herbivores(食草动物), feed on plants. The fur’s color of roe deer are usually straw yellow, there is whi te haired in roe deer’s base of the tail, it looks really funny. In addition, the male roe deer have set of antlers(鹿角), but female roe deer don’t have, this is the way that how to recognize their sexes. The roe deer has very big and bright eyes, which makes it looks socuddly(可爱的). The roe deer almost live in open forest area, sometimes near the river valley. They rest in the forest during the day, take activities in the early morning or the late evening, because they are very timid and sensitive. they will run quickly if they finds you. As we know, there is one saying “Stupid Roe Deer” in the northeast area, it often be used to describe the people who is a little clumsy, and it’s gradually used to praise one person who is pretty and cute. But its own meaning is that the roe deer is so curious. When a hunter is chasing the roe deer, the roe deer will run very fast, but if the hunter stop to run after it, because of its curiosity, the roe deer will run back to the primary place to see what happened, the h unter doesn’t need or use great effort, then he can capture the roe deer very easily. How funny!The next one is Mongoose. Mongooses are primarily found in Africa, their range covering most of the continent. Some species occupy parts of southern Asia and the Iberian Peninsula. They are generally terrestrial mammals, but some are semi-aquatic, and others are at home inthe treetops. They normally have brown or gray fur, and a number of species sport striped(有条纹的) coats or ringed tails. Mongooses live in burrows(地洞) , feeding on small animals such as birds, frogs, insects, and worms. Some species supplement their diet with fruits, nuts, and seeds. Creative hunters, they are known to break open bird eggs by throwing them with their forepaws toward a solid object. Today effort has been done to control the number of this animal. As mongooses threaten the survival of various native species, particularly birds. However, in their natural environments, mongooses are currently threatened themselves due to habitat loss.The last one is sloth. Sloths are extremely slow-moving mammals found in the rainforest of Central and South America. There are two species of sloths: two-toed and three-toed. Most sloths are about the size of a small dog and they have short, flat heads. Their hair is grayish brown but, at times they look grey-green in color because they move so slowly that tiny algae grow all over their coats. Some sloths stay in the same tree for years. Their huge hooked claws and long arms allow them to spend most of their time hanging upside-down from trees. Since they have a slow metabolism(新陈代谢), they need very little food. They feed on fruit, leaves, buds, and young twigs(细枝). Sloths also sleep upside-down for up to 18 hours at a time. Mothers also give birth to babies upside-down. Babies cling to their mothers until they are able to take care of themselves. That’s all. Thank you!。
