Unit 17 Scary but lovely to watch Unit 17 Scary but lovely to watch

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION We have chosen this project work, because we liked the project work last year about dinosaurs. We think that this project work will help us better to learn the English language. We have divided up the work in groups. The main aim of project work was to find out about endangered species and the names of their body parts. We have chosen this project work, because we liked the project work last year about dinosaurs.

Endangered species

Giant Panda habitation territory Giant Panda habitation territory Wild giant pandas are found only in southwestern China. They occupy 6 small forest fragments in the provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi.

The giant panda only exists at present in six small areas located in inland China. The habitat, suitable for the bamboo on which it survives, is a cold, damp coniferous forest. The elevation ranges from 1,200 to 3,400 metres ( 4,000 to 11,000 feet) high. In most of the areas in which they still roam wild, they must compete with farmers who farm the river valleys and the lower slopes of the mountains.

A panda's coat is thick and wooly. It is white with black eye patches, ears, legs, band across shoulders and sometimes tip of tail. Fur is slightly oily preventing water penetration. Their striking coloration is thought to be an important signal to other pandas ( They avoid contact and have poor vision). Brown-and-white pandas exist but are extremely rare. Black and white and bear­like, the panda roams in a well­defined home­range of between 3.9 and 12 km.

Pandas have scent glands positioned under the tail. Their head is relatively massive with well developed chewing muscles. Unlike other bears, they have well-developed premolars. Pandas have scent glands positioned under the tail. Their head is relatively massive with well developed chewing muscles. Unlike other bears, they have well-developed premolars. Their molars are broad and flat and adapted to chewing bamboo. Their digestive system is typical of a carnivore; only slightly adapted for processing bamboo: tough esophageal lining, pyloric region of stomach thick and muscular, small intestine shortened, colon surface area enlarged.

RHINOCEROS DESCRIPTION: There are five species of rhinos — two African and three Asian. The African species are the white and black rhinos. Both species have two horns. Asian rhinos include the Indian and the Javan, each with one horn, and the Sumatran, which has two. POPULATION: Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis): 2,400 White Rhino (Ceratotherium simum): 7,500 Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis): 400 Javan Rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus): fewer than 100 Indian Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis): more than 2,000

RHINOCEROS HABITAT: Rhino habitat ranges from savannas to dense forests in tropical and subtropical regions. FOOD: Rhinos are herbivores, meaning they eat only plants. White rhinos, with their square-shaped lips, are ideally suited to graze on grass. Other rhinos prefer to eat the foliage of trees or bushes. BEHAVIOR: As solitary creatures, both male and female rhinos establish territories. Males mark and defend their territories. Rhinos use their horns not only in battles for territory or females but also to defend themselves from lions, tigers and hyenas.

RHINOCEROS THREATS: Rhinos rank among the most endangered species on Earth. Valued for their horns, they face a serious threat from poaching. Some cultures believe that the powdered rhino horn will cure everything from fever to food poisoning and will enhance sexual stamina. PROTECTION: *CITES, Appendix I, Endangered Species Act *Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, an international treaty with more than 144 member countries. Appendix I listed species cannot be traded commercially. Appendix II listed species can be traded commercially only if trade does not harm their survival.
