Question

【题目】

Have you seen koalas (考拉) in a zoo? They are very cute. The koala is a small bear-like, tree-dwelling animal, which averages about 9 kilograms in weight. Its fur is thick and usually ash gray. They come from Australia. They do not come from any other place. Today koalas are mainly found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. People in Australia want to protect them.

Now there are about 100,000 koalas in Australia. But there are fewer and fewer of them all the time. Some koalas are getting sick. The sickness makes them not able to see. It also makes it hard for them to have babies. Besides, Koalas also live in societies, just like humans, so they need to be able to come into contact with other koalas. It is because of this they need to have areas of suitable forest, which are large enough to support a healthy koala population and to allow expansion by raising young koalas.

But People are building more houses and roads too. This means koalas do not have as many places to live. Some people want the government to do more to take care of the koalas.

People should think about animals. They should take care of them. Then the cute animals will stay alive!
