Variant 2 BIG CAT LIVE
Big Cat Live is a popular TV programme. It follows the adventures of
'big cats' and tells you their stories. The presenters travel in Africa
with the photographers and film lions and other animals. They give
the animals names and the viewers can soon see the animals
personalities. The viewers feel that they know the animals and
become interested in them. Often the animals are in dangerous
situations and the programmes are very exciting. The programmes are
on TV every day and many people watch all of them! One of the most
popular animals is a powerful lion called Red. Shéoften protects the
young lions.
Lions can make a very loud noise. You can hear them far away – they
are the loudest of all the big cats. Lions eat meat and have to kill other
animals. Their eyes are much more sensitive than humans' eyes. They
can see well in the dark and often hunt at night. Sometimes it's sad
when they kill other animals, but this is our natural world.
