Yangtze alligators, the most endangered species of the crocodilian family, mainly live in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
An adult Yangtze alligator can reach an average length of around 2 meters. They spend a large part of the year in complex networks of underground holes containing above- and below-ground pools of water. They are mainly active at night and do much of their hunting under the cover of darkness.
Their traditional habitat has been destroyed, which is why their population has experienced a decline of 80% in the last 50 years. Therefore, there is an urgent need for us to do more to protect them.
【实战演练】
你校英语俱乐部将就“Endangered Animals”这一话题进行讨论。请你根据所给 提示，用英语写一篇发言稿，介绍最严重的濒危猫科动物——阿穆尔豹(Amur leopard)。
1. 又名“远东豹''，主要分布在俄罗斯远东地区；
2. 毛被黄色，满布黑色斑点；
3. 昼伏夜出；
4. 人类盗猎以及栖息地的破坏是濒临灭绝的主要原因，野生数量不到70只。
答案
Amur leopards, also known as Far East leopards, are found in the Russian Far East. Of all the leopards, the Amur leopard is the most seriously endangered.
Amur leopards have thick yellow fur with large, widely spaced black spots covering the head, back, tail and legs. They are mainly active at night and do much of their hunting under the cover of darkness.
With less than 70 left in the wild, Amur leopards are on the brink of extinction. The main threats are poaching for their fur, and habitat loss due to human activities. Therefore, it's urgent for us to do more to protect them.
