Reading & Critical Thinking
Many animals have adapted to life in extreme heat and cold. Think of the extremes in Egypt. There are burning deserts and there are the high mountains of Sinai, which are sometimes covered with snow. Now think of the North Pole with its enormous glaciers and freezing water. Think of the rainforests of South America and Asia, with their heavy rain. Incredibly, these environments are home to many types of wildlife.
One of the animals best adapted to heat is Egypt's sand cat. It is not much bigger than city cats, but it is designed for desert life, with thick fur on its feet to protect it from the heat. Sand cats are not often seen because they sleep underground during the day and only come out to hunt at night. Like many other desert animals, they do not have to find water, as they get all the moisture they need from their prey, which includes rats and mice.
(5)
At the other extreme, polar bears live on the ice around the North Pole. They are between 2.5 and 4.5 metres long and more than 450 kilograms in weight. Their white fur and thick skin protect them from the extreme cold. They live on fish, which they catch through holes in the ice. They have an incredible sense of smell and can smell their prey as far as 16 kilometres away. They can run faster than 50 kilometres an hour.
The rainforests of Borneo, where it is very hot and wet, are the home of the orangutan. Although their name means 'wild man of the forest', they are quiet, rather lazy animals. They spend most of their lives high up in trees. They sleep all night in nests which they make from branches. In the morning, they feed on fruits and insects, but then they rest before eating again in the evening. Strangely, they do not like water, so when it rains they protect themselves by holding leaves over their heads.
Lions are very large animals which belong to the cat family. They are covered in thick fur which may be white, yellow or orange in colour. Lions can be between 1.4 and 2.5 metres long and 120-250 kilograms in weight. Today lions live in only two parts of the world. Most live in eastern and southern Africa and a small number live in northern India. They live on the edge of desert areas or in forests. Lions live in groups and can run at 80 km an hour. Their prey is other large animals or smaller animals like birds and rabbits.
Lions are my favourite wild animal because they are proud animals which look after their families. I have seen lions in a zoo, but I think they look more beautiful in their own environment.
The camel is the largest animal in the desert. Its thick fur protects it from the hot sun and the cold nights, and its big feet help it walk on the sand of the desert. It is 180-200 cm tall and weighs between 450 and 690 kg. Camels can drink up to 57 litres of water at one time and can travel many kilometres without water. Their bodies can store food so they can go for a long time without eating.

Animals that live in the wild are capable of adapting themselves to the conditions around them, to life in the extremes of cold and heat, wet or dry climate. However, man has always proved throughout all times to be the greatest authority that has power over them. In ancient times, man used to hunt animals to get their meat and skins. In the middle ages man used to hunt animals for sport. Kings used to keep animals in their palaces as companions treated with care and affection.
King Henry the eighth kept a large bear in his palace. People who happened to walk along the river Thames during his reign might have seen a large white bear walking down the bank of the river accompanied by a man holding it with a large leather strap. King Henry was not the first one to keep large “pets”. Both the Ancient Egyptians and the Chinese collected animals for pleasure. Birds and snakes were also popular in Rome. When the Emperor. Augustus defeated his enemies, he was presented a parrot that could utter Hail Caesar! Victorious leader
Not only did people at the time keep pets, but they were happy to see these animals doing strange tricks which entertained “them”. Napoleon's wife was said to have an orangutan that sat at her table wearing a coat.

Reading & Critical Thinking
Many animals have adapted to life in extreme heat and cold. Think of the extremes in Egypt. There are burning deserts and there are the high mountains of Sinai, which are sometimes covered with snow. Now think of the North Pole with its enormous glaciers and freezing water. Think of the rainforests of South America and Asia, with their heavy rain. Incredibly, these environments are home to many types of wildlife.
One of the animals best adapted to heat is Egypt's sand cat. It is not much bigger than city cats, but it is designed for desert life, with thick fur on its feet to protect it from the heat. Sand cats are not often seen because they sleep underground during the day and only come out to hunt at night. Like many other desert animals, they do not have to find water, as they get all the moisture they need from their prey, which includes rats and mice.
(5)
At the other extreme, polar bears live on the ice around the North Pole. They are between 2.5 and 4.5 metres long and more than 450 kilograms in weight. Their white fur and thick skin protect them from the extreme cold. They live on fish, which they catch through holes in the ice. They have an incredible sense of smell and can smell their prey as far as 16 kilometres away. They can run faster than 50 kilometres an hour.
The rainforests of Borneo, where it is very hot and wet, are the home of the orangutan. Although their name means 'wild man of the forest', they are quiet, rather lazy animals. They spend most of their lives high up in trees. They sleep all night in nests which they make from branches. In the morning, they feed on fruits and insects, but then they rest before eating again in the evening. Strangely, they do not like water, so when it rains they protect themselves by holding leaves over their heads.
Lions are very large animals which belong to the cat family. They are covered in thick fur which may be white, yellow or orange in colour. Lions can be between 1.4 and 2.5 metres long and 120-250 kilograms in weight. Today lions live in only two parts of the world. Most live in eastern and southern Africa and a small number live in northern India. They live on the edge of desert areas or in forests. Lions live in groups and can run at 80 km an hour. Their prey is other large animals or smaller animals like birds and rabbits.
Lions are my favourite wild animal because they are proud animals which look after their families. I have seen lions in a zoo, but I think they look more beautiful in their own environment.
The camel is the largest animal in the desert. Its thick fur protects it from the hot sun and the cold nights, and its big feet help it walk on the sand of the desert. It is 180-200 cm tall and weighs between 450 and 690 kg. Camels can drink up to 57 litres of water at one time and can travel many kilometres without water. Their bodies can store food so they can go for a long time without eating.

Animals that live in the wild are capable of adapting themselves to the conditions around them, to life in the extremes of cold and heat, wet or dry climate.

In the middle ages man used to hunt animals for sport. Kings used to keep animals in their palaces as companions treated with care and affection.
King Henry the eighth kept a large bear in his palace. People who happened to walk along the river Thames during his reign might have seen a large white bear walking down the bank of the river accompanied by a man holding it with a large leather strap. King Henry was not the first one to keep large “pets”. Both the Ancient Egyptians and the Chinese collected animals for pleasure. Birds and snakes were also popular in Rome. When the Emperor. Augustus defeated his enemies, he was presented a parrot that could utter Hail Caesar! Victorious leader
Not only did people at the time keep pets, but they were happy to see these animals doing strange tricks which entertained “them”. Napoleon's wife was said to have an orangutan that sat at her table wearing a coat.
