UNUSUAL ANIMALS

1. Kangaroo

Do you know that the kangaroo can't walk at all, but it can hop at speeds of over 35 miles per hour! This unusual animal is very good at jumping. A grown-up kangaroo is only five feet tall, but it can jump over a car! Another interesting fact is that the kangaroo can't jump backward because of its huge tail.

2. Camel

A camel can live without water for a week. It can walk over two hundred miles in the desert without dinking water. The humps on its back hold fat, so the camel can live without eating food a long time, too. It is also a very strong animal. It can carry very heavy loads.

Gorillas live in groups in the forest. Mountain gorillas are the biggest kind of gorilla. A grown-up mountain gorilla can weigh 180 kilograms, and measure 170 centimetres. They have thick fur, which helps them to survive in very cold forests.

Mountain gorillas eat plants and they spend about a quarter of their day eating. Some mountain gorillas eat 18 kilograms of plants in one day! At night, mountain gorilla groups sleep together in nests on the ground, or in trees. Baby gorillas share their mother's nests, staying safe and warm.

The forests are gorillas' home and food, but people are cutting down the forests. Many moutain gorillas die when people cut down forests. There are now only over 1.000 mountain gorillas living in the wild. Twenty years ago, there were about 15.000 mountain gorillas. If we don't protect them, they will become extinct.
