世界真奇妙之北極熊

來源：新東方發(fā)布時間：2013-06-17

　　·You would see me most often in the Arctic Circle. But I also live in the cold, northern-most parts of North America, Europe and Asia.

　　·I usually live on sea ice and am one of the few members of my family able to spend long amounts of time in water.

　　·I spend a lot of time roaming but may settle down here and there. But my fur and a thick layer of blubber make it so I don't need a real house.

　　·I am very large with a huge, furry body. My feet are designed for walking on ice and have five sharp claws made for holding onto food. My stiff hair and fur help me swim well.

　　·I am almost all white, although my fur may turn yellow in summer.

　　·I am one of the world's largest land predators. I'm also the biggest member of my family.

　　·I can weigh more than 1,500 pounds （about 680 kilograms） but usually only get as large as 800 pounds （about 360 kilograms）.

　　·I normally eat seals but also can dine on walruses, mussels or even berries and seaweed.

　　·Because I live in very cold places, few people bother me. I sometimes have problems with human hunters and oil drilling where I live. But I normally just ignore people.

　　·I'm very smart and am a great hunter and problem solver. I'm also an awesome swimmer and diver and have excellent underwater vision.

　　北極熊——地圖上涂藍色的地方是我的家

　　有趣的常識：北極熊的學(xué)名叫“海洋熊”，因為它是唯一身體能適應(yīng)水中生活的熊類。它是目前最重的熊。他們通常獨自在冰上漫步，但是有時也會結(jié)群，特別是當(dāng)熊寶寶跟熊媽媽在一起的時候。

　　·你會看到我經(jīng)常出沒于北極圈，但是我也住在北美、歐洲和亞洲寒冷的北部的大部分地區(qū)。

　　·我通常生活在海洋的冰上，而且我和我的家人一樣能在水中呆很長時間。

　　·大部分時間我都在漫步，但是也可能在這兒或那兒安頓下來。但是我的皮毛和厚厚的脂肪層使得我可以這樣，所以我并不需要一座真正的房子。

　　·我有一個巨大的長著毛皮的身軀。我的腳專門適合在冰上行走，五個尖尖的爪子用來抓住食物，硬硬的頭發(fā)和皮毛有利于我很好的游泳。

　　·我?guī)缀跫儼咨�，但在夏天，我的皮毛可能會變黃。

　　·我是世界上最大的陸生食肉動物之一，我也是家族中個頭最大的成員。

　　·我體重能超過1500多磅（約680公斤），但通常我也就長到800磅（約360公斤）。

　　·我通常吃海豹，但也能吃海象，蚌類，甚至是漿果和海藻。

　　·因為我住的地方非常寒冷，所以幾乎沒有人打攪我。有時，因為人類捕獵，在我住的地方鉆油等也會產(chǎn)生不愉快，但我通常不去理睬他們。

　　·我非常聰明，是個好獵手和解決問題的能手。我也是很棒的游泳能手，潛水能手，我具有極好的水下視覺。
