How to save wildlife
Animals are people’s friends . But many wild animals are facing the danger of dying out , because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly . For example , their living area has become narrower and narrower because of the development of cities and pollution . They have no room to live in except the zoo . And many of the wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat . At the same time , man is killing off animals just for getting their fur , skin , teeth and meat .
People should realize how serious the situation is and something should be done to protect the animals . We are supposed to set up some nature reserves (自然保护区) so that animals can live freely . Besides , people should not be allowed to kill the endangered animals or eat their meat . We should do something to make our world cleaner . Fresh air , clean water and grass are all important for animals .

The tiger is the largest wild cat in the world . The big cat weighs about 363 kilograms and is about two meters long .
Tigers wait until it’s dark , then they go out to find their food . When a tiger sees an animal, it moves very quietly , then jumps on the animals to kill it . Sometimes it can take a tiger several days to finish eating its kill . The tiger eats until it’s had enough . Then it covers the dead animals with leaves . Later , when the tiger is hungry again , it comes back to eat more .
Tigers are different from others in the cat family : they like water , and they often jump into rivers to swim .
Some tigers live in very cold places – in parts of North Korea , eastern Russia , and northeast China . Other tigers live in warm places – India and parts of southeast of Asia .
All tigers are in danger . People killed them to use their skin for clothes , and their bodies for medicine . In addition , there is also less and less land for tigers to live on . But now people know that tigers are in danger and have made plans to protect them .
