【FT自然科学系列Zoo Animals】- 上海动物园

上海动物园位于上海市长宁区虹桥路2381号，紧邻上海虹桥国际机场。始建于1954年，原名西郊公园。

上海动物园属于国家级大型动物园，占地面积74.3万平方米，饲养展出动物400余种，饲养展出动物的馆舍面积有47237平方米。是全国十佳动物园之一，中国第二大城市动物园。

Zoo is a place where many different species (types) of animals are kept so people can see and watch them.

动物园是一个有许多不同物种（类型）的动物的地方，以便人们观看。

Modern zoos try not only to be for people's entertainment, but for education, research, and the conservation and protection of animals.现代动物园不仅是为了人们的娱乐，而且还为了教育、研究和保护动物而存在。

Many zoos are centers where rare animals are preserved when they are in danger of dying out. These modern zoos also want to give the animals a natural life, so that they are healthy and behave normal. This is done for the animals, but also that people can see the animals as if they were in nature, and not in a zoo.

许多动物园是保护濒临灭绝的珍稀动物的中心。这些现代动物园也想给动物一个自然的生活环境，使他们健康和行为正常。这样做不仅是为了动物，而且人们就好像是在大自然中看到动物一样，而不是在动物园里。

In the past, but also today, there are a lot of zoos that are not like the modern type of zoo. There the animals are held in very bad conditions. They are kept in small cages, and they are bored and get sick.

在过去，也在今天，有很多动物园并不像现代动物园一样。在那里，动物们被关在非常恶劣的条件下。他们被关在小笼子里，会感到无聊，还会生病。

E: Mom, can you draw me a peacock?

M: Yes, let me try!

- "The Fire bird"

E: Mom, look that bird looks like a fire.

M: Yes, it is flamingo, flamingo has different colors with other birds, it is mostly pink, a little bit red. Its legs are very long and usually it stands there with one leg.

Flamingos are types of birds. They are noisy birds and they live in big groups called flocks. Flamingos are wading birds. This means they live by water, such as lakes.

火烈鸟是鸟类的一种。它们是吵吵嚷嚷的鸟，成群地生活在一起，叫做鸟群。火烈鸟是涉水鸟。这意味着他们生活在水，如湖泊。

Flamingos usually stand on one leg while the other is tucked beneath their body. The reason for this behaviour is not fully understood. One theory is that standing on one leg allows the birds to conserve more body heat, given that they spend a significant amount of time wading in cold water. An alternative theory is that standing on one leg reduces the energy expenditure for producing muscular effort to stand and balance on one leg. As well as standing in the water, flamingos may stamp their webbed feet in the mud to stir up food from the bottom.

火烈鸟通常用一条腿站立，另一条腿缩在身体下面。这种行为的原因还没有被完全理解，有一种理论认为，单腿站立可以让鸟类保存更多的体温，因为它们在冷水中涉水的时间相当长。另一种理论是，单腿站立会减少肌肉力量的消耗，从而减少单腿站立和平衡的能量消耗。除了站在水里，火烈鸟还会在泥里踩它们有蹼的脚，从底部搅动食物。

Flamingos are capable flyers and flamingos in captivity often require wing clipping to prevent escape.

火烈鸟是很有能力的飞行者，被囚禁的火烈鸟经常需要剪断翅膀来防止逃跑。

Flamingos filter-feed on brine shrimp and blue-green algae [ˈældʒiː] . Their bills are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down. 

火烈鸟以盐水虾和蓝藻为食。它们的嘴特别适合用来把泥土和淤泥从它们吃的食物中分离出来，而且是唯一倒过来用的。

The pink or reddish color of flamingos comes from carotenoids in their diet of animal and plant plankton.

火烈鸟的粉红色或淡红色来自它们以浮游动物和植物为食的类胡萝卜素。

火烈鸟（学名：Phoenicopteridae）：亦称红鹳。体型大小似鹳；嘴短而厚，上嘴中部突向下曲，下嘴较大成槽状；颈长而曲；脚极长而裸出，向前的3趾间有蹼，后趾短小不着地；翅大小适中；尾短；体羽白而带玫瑰色，飞羽黑，覆羽深红，诸色相衬，非常艳丽。

栖息于温热带盐湖水滨，涉行浅滩，以小虾、蛤蜊、昆虫、藻类等为食。觅食时头往下浸，嘴倒转，将食物吮入口中，把多余的水和不能吃的渣滓排出，然后徐徐吞下。因羽色鲜丽，被人饲为观赏鸟。

E: Why does a flamingo stand with one leg?
M: I don't really know but I Just guess.
I think they feel cold when they stand in the water. So if they stand with one leg, they feel warm.

Let's have a try. Go and stand there. 

Count from 1-20.

E: 1......10......20

M: Do you feel warm, it's just like we do some exercise, right?

E: Yes. What do they eat, mummy?

M: Ok. And then they will bend their long neck and use their beak to get foods.

E: Look, I got many shrimps, let's eat. Yummy...

Most raccoons live in the wild. Being around humans does not bother them. They often nest in empty buildings, garages, sheds, and even the attics of houses. Raccoons do not hibernate in the winter. Those that live farther north, where it is colder, grow thick coats to keep them warm and spend long periods sleeping. Raccoons in captivity can live up to 20 years.

- Baboon狒狒



Baboon have long, dog-like muzzles, heavy, powerful jaws with sharp canine teeth, close-set eyes, thick fur except on their muzzles, short tails, and rough spots on their protruding buttocks, called ischial callosities. These calluses are nerveless, hairless pads of skin that provide for the sitting comfort of the baboon.

所有的狒狒都有长长的、像狗一样的口鼻，沉重而有力的下颚上长着尖利的犬齿，眼睛距离很近，除了口鼻外，其他部位都长有厚厚的皮毛，尾巴很短，突出的臀部上有粗糙的斑点，这些部位被称为坐骨老茧。这些老茧是无神经、无毛的皮肤垫，为狒狒提供舒适的坐姿。

Baboons are terrestrial (ground dwelling) and are found in open savannah, open woodland and hills across Africa. Their diets are omnivorous, but mostly herbivorous, yet they eat insects and occasionally prey on fish, trout and salmon if available, shellfish, hares, birds, vervet monkeys, and small antelopes.
