water circulation and a piece of dry trunk in the aquarium. Inadequate conditions can cause
not only stress but also affect their growth. The worst thing is they may even end in their
death!

hole. The limestone made the water inside the hole boiling. Kbo Iwo was buried alive. Then

huge paws and opened his mouth to swallow him directly. “Please, King,”

27. Read the following text!

One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It
walked through the city streets past houses, shops and offices. Then it found some food in
bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called
the police. The police came with a vet from the city zoo. They put the bear in a lorry and took
it to the mountains outside the city. Luckily, the bear was safe. But what happens in other
countries when big animals come into cities? In Vancouver it is unusual to see a bear, but in
some cities, you can see big animals on the city streets every day.
Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town in South Africa
baboons come into the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from
trees. They even go into houses and take food from cupboards and fridges! Baboons are
strong animals and they can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.
Sometimes, cars and buses kill baboons in accidents. Human food is very bad for the
baboons’ teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are Baboon Monitors working in
Cape Town. Their job is to find baboons in the city and return them to the countryside.
In Berlin in Germany, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat
flowers and plants in parks and gardens. Sometimes they eat vegetables from gardens and
they walk in the street and cause accidents. Some people like the pigs and they give them
food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and they want the government and
the police to stop them entering the city.
In Moscow in Russia, there are 35,000 wild dogs. The dogs live in parks, old houses,
markets and train stations. Some dogs live in groups and others live alone. Many people in
Moscow like the dogs. They give them food and water. Some people make small houses for
the dogs in their gardens. This helps the dogs in winter, when the temperature in Moscow is -
10 ºC and there is a lot of snow and ice.
Many animals live in cities. In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and
squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come into cities to find
food. We need to find ways of stopping animals coming into the city without hurting them.

Bat
Bat have big ears, furry bodies and wings like leather. They are nocturnal mammals. This means
they sleep in caves and attics during the day and fly out to feed at night-time.
Bats are the only mammals that can fly. They are very fast and acrobatic. When they chase after
insects, they twist and turn in mid-air. Bats use sound to catch insects in the darkness. They send
out high-pitched squeals that human cannot hear. The echoes that bounce back tell the bats exactly
where they will find their prey.
Flying foxes, or fruit bats, are large bats that live in tropical Africa and Asia. They mainly eat fruit.
Flying foxes importan because they help to spread the pollen and seeds of many plants.
