Краткий пересказ : "when i got the call from a family that there was a koala in their backyard,i thought it was just going to be a routine call".these words came from vicki pender of the queensland parks and wildlife services. koala bears roam around in search of food. if they see a eucalyptus tree, they go straight for it regardless of where it is. "when i got there it was obvious the koala was restless. i had to give her an injection to calm her down. just then, i heard a loud cry from a tree nearby. it was her little joey screaming for its mum! " joey is what a baby koala is called. vicki realised just then how critical it was to help the mother koala.baby koalas or joeys are completely dependent on their mums and have very specialized diets. they cannot survive on their own for very long."at that point, i turned my attention to the baby and coaxed it out of the tree". luckily, mum and joey were rescued and had a short stay in the animal hospital. before long, they were released into the wild again. together they disappeared into the leaves, happy to settle on for some dinner.
нам всем нравится ходить в зоопарк, но как насчет животных? как они себя чувствуют? должны ли мы держать животных в зоопарках, или неправильно выводить их из естественной среды обитания?
с одной стороны, зоопарк играет важную роль в сохранении природы. многие естественные места обитания находятся в опасности. поддерживая животных живыми, мы обязательно выживем. кроме того, хороший зоопарк может быть познавательным, поскольку он учит нас, как животные ведут себя и как они действуют в своей среде обитания. таким образом мы учимся защищать их.
с другой стороны, существуют некоторые недостатки содержания животных в зоопарке. зоопарки не могут воссоздать естественную среду обитания животных, а животные могут быть несчастны в клетках. было бы полезнее тратить деньги, чем защищать среду обитания, а не зоопарки. кроме того, есть много хороших документальных фильмов о животных, поэтому зоопарки на самом деле не нужны для обучения.
подводя итог. существуют веские аргументы как за, так и против зоопарков. в настоящее время большинство зоопарков делают все возможное, чтобы защитить животных. однако. я считаю, что животные должны жить в окружающей среде, а также их среде обитания.
