A snow leopard roars in the high mountains of
Asia. A black rhinoceros gallops across the
plains of Africa. A grizzly bear hunts for fish in a
North American river. A mother blue whale and
her calf glide through the deep waters of the
ocean.
All of these animals share the Earth with us.
They fascinate us with their beauty, their grace,
and their speed. We love observing their
behavior, and learning more about their habits.
ut !ust loving them is not enough. All of these
animals are endangered. "any of them have
died and without special care, they may
someday disappear from the Earth.
Why is it important to care for animals like
these# $ne reason is to protect the balance of
life on Earth. Another reason is the beauty of
the animals themselves. Each species of
animals is special. $nce it is gone, it is gone
forever.
Africa was once filled with an abundance of wild
animals. ut that is changing fast. $ne of these
animals, the black rhinoceros, lives on the
plains of Africa. %t has very poor eyesight and a
very bad temper& Even though the black rhino is
powerful, and can be dangerous, its strength
can't always help it to escape hunters. (ome
people think that the rhino's horn has magical
powers, and many hunters kill rhinos for their
valuable
horns. This has caused the black rhino to be
placed on the endangered species list.
The elephant seems to represent all that is
strong and wild in Africa. %t once had no natural
enemies, but is now endangered)killed for its
ivory tusks. The fastest land animal, the
cheetah, also lives in Africa. %t, too, is becoming
e*tinct as people take over more and more of
the land that is the cheetah's natural habitat.
%magine Africa without the powerful rhino, the
gentle, intelligent elephant, or the lightning +uick
cheetah. $nce they are gone, they are gone
forever.
Wherever people are careless about the land,
there are endangered species.
,rizzly bears like to wander great distances.
Each bear needs up to -,.// s+uare miles of
territory to call its homeland. Today, because
forests have been cleared to make room for
people, the grizzly's habitat is shrinking and the
grizzly is disappearing. %t !oins other endangered
North American animals, such as the red wolf
and the American crocodile.
%n (outh America, destruction of the rain forest
threatens many animals. 0nusual mammals,
such as the howler monkey and the three1toed
sloth, are endangered. eautiful birds like the
great green macaw and the golden parakeet are
also becoming e*tinct. They're losing their
homes in the rain forest, and thousands die
when they are caught and shipped off to be sold
as e*otic pets.
The giant panda of Asia is a fascinating and
uni+ue animal. 2et there are only about -,///
still living in the wild. The giant panda's diet
consists mainly
of the bamboo plant, so when the bamboo
forests die, so does the panda. 3hina is now
making an effort to protect these special
creatures from becoming e*tinct.
1
Asia's big cats are also in trouble. The e*otic
snow leopard lives high in the mountains. Even
there it faces, loss of natural habitat, and
hunters, who kill it for its fur. The tiger, the
largest of all the big cats, is hunted merely for
sport.
$cean1dwelling animals are in danger of
e*tinction as well. The blue whale is the largest
animal in the world. %t weighs up to 45/,///
pounds. Whale hunting and pollution are this
species' greatest enemies.
0nfortunately, it is people who cause many of
the problems that animals face. We alter and
pollute their habitats. We hunt them for skins,
tusks, furs, and horns. We destroy animals that
get in the way of farming or building. And we
remove them from their natural habitats and
take them home as pets.
What can you do to help endangered animals#
6earn as much as you can about them. The
more you know, the more you can help. "ake
an effort to support zoos and wildlife groups.
"any zoos breed endangered animals, helping
to ensure that they will continue to live on.
3ontribute to groups, such as the National
Wildlife 7ederation and the (ierra 3lub, that
work hard to protect animals. 2ou can also be a
smart shopper and never buy a pet that has
been raised in the wilderness.
The world is made up of many living things, and
each thing is dependent on the others to
survive. %f we allow even one species on Earth
to become
e*tinct, it has an impact on other living things
and changes our world. When we mention any
endangered wild animals, let's hope that we
never again have to say, 8,one forever.9

;rimitive man was probably more concerned
with fire as a source of warmth and as a means
2
of cooking food than as a source of light. efore

fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever he

the torch may very well have developed, could
be used for illumination was probably incidental

accident. Early man may have had his first
conception of a lamp while watching a twig or
fibre burning in the molten fat dropped from a

a vessel to contain fat and float a lighted reed in
it. (uch lamps, which are made of hollowed
stones or sea shells, have persisted in identical
