6、 for Background Information9/21 丛林狼聪明,狡猾而灵敏。平均寿命为10年。郊狼时速65公里,奔跑时尾下垂,一跳能到达4米远,会游泳,但不善于攀登。郊狼用嗥叫和气味传达信息。郊狼食性比较杂,主要以啮齿动物为食,如老鼠和田鼠、兔子。喜欢新鲜肉,不过也不忌讳腐尸。有时也会吃水果、草、蔬菜等。但因偶然捕食家畜和猎物而造成一定危害,这种危害被大大地夸大了,因而遭到了人类残杀。Reading for Background Information10/21 4.Reading Activities:Self-reading and doing exercises Langua
