Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer.We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20.They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes.The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75, 000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shanxi provinces. Golden monkeys have golden﹣orange fur (皮毛).They move around in the daytime. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos.But people are destroying the environment where they live.Trees and bamboos are disappearing,so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.
Elephants
Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunk (象鼻). Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also,people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur, Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell.They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack (攻击) people.Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.

One of the world's most important and lovely animals is quickly disappearing,Can you guess which one it is?It(49) (have) the longest neck among all animals.Yes,it's the giraffe.
In 1985,there were between 152,000and 163,000giraffe,and they(50) (live) in the plains (平原) and forests of Africa."The number of giraffes(51) (fall) by as much as 40percent since the 1980s,"says a new report on endangered wild animals and plants.
Why are there fewer and fewer giraffes?Because humans(52) (cut) down many trees to build more houses.And they are also killing the animals(53) (eat) their meat.A report from the International Union for Conversation of Nature(自然保护国际联盟) says,"Giraffes(54) (disappear) silently in the near future.And it is time that we do something for the giraffe before it is too late."
People think giraffes are everywhere.Kids'books are full of giraffes,and there(55) (be) always giraffes in zoos.But giraffes are in great danger now.Humans should stop killing off certain endangered wild animals and try hard to help save them.
