You may have recently seen a video from the Beijing Wildlife Zoo becoming a hit.What exactly was so interesting about this video?It shows a dog playing with big cats four to five times its size!Many people might wonder if this dog has a death wish,but it seems that the dog and the big cats are good friends.
   The dog was actually raised alongside the lion and tiger cubs,making up an odd but loving family,according to zoo officials.As opposed to the common belief,cross-species friendship has been around for centuries.People have domesticated many animals,most notably cats and dogs,and formed bonds with them as pets.Perhaps you even have a pet yourself.
   There are many other instances of cross-species friendships.
   At an animal sanctuary in Santiago,Chile,a jaguar named Marina and a deer named Laura formed a friendship after they both came to the park.As neither animal had a mother,sanctuary staff said they instantly bonded when they met.Laura had been rescued from a slaughterhouse while Marina had been rescued from the street.
   One possible explanation for these friendships is the environment of the zoo.Animals don't hunt for their food and don't need to worry about marking their territory or looking for mates in the way an animal in the wild would. "All those activities take time and energy,and if these needs are removed,the animals get bored," Gordon Burghardt,a psychologist at the University of Tenessee,US,told The Atlantic magazine. "In this particular situation,the animal's motivation to engage socially and playfully may be higher in its need hierarchy(等級(jí))than eating."
   Marc Bekoff,former biology professor at the University of Colorado,US,told Slate magazine, "I think the choices animals make in cross-species relationships are the same as they'd make in same-species relationships.Some dogs don't like every other dog.Animals are very selective about the other individuals who they let into their lives."

  • 菁優(yōu)網(wǎng)1.Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
       Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers,for food,for sport,and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
       Why should people care?Because we need animals.And because once they are gone,there will never be any more.
       Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food.Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
       For example,when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鷹),the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice.Why?Because hawks eat mice.With no hawks to keep down their numbers,the mice multiplied quickly.
       Luckily,some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
       Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly,the number of some animals in danger is growing.
