This animal is the fennec fox.
Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That"s big for an animal that weighs less than four
pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great
hearing.
It"s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert
need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn"t always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be
terribly cold! A fennec fox"s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy
tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their
dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to their
great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.
Like other foxes, fennecs are omnivores. This means they eat both meat and plants. They like eating
birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.
Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years.
The cream coloration of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Still, they have to watch
out for predators (捕食性动物). These include caracals ( a type of wild cat ) , jackals, eagle owls,
hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets. | |

In the 16th century, the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. But the people
didn"t like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that their skins would look like the skin of the
plant if they ate the potato. So they only ate the leaves. This made them sick because there is poison
(毒药) in the leaves.
In the 1800s, people started to eat potatoes. Potatoes became the main food in Ireland. Then
something unlucky happened. In 1845, a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people
died of hunger.

potato. Of course, the French invented French fries.

There are some countries where people seem to be living nearly on top of each other because conditions

way, but the disadvantage of the bitterly cold and windy conditions usually keeps people way. When it
comes to climate, warm conditions and a normal amount of rainfall are advantage that attract people.
Natural resources are things that we get from nature that help us survive. Each region offers different
resources, and therefore attracts different groups of people. People who enjoy the beach car make their
living by catching and selling the ocean"s many fish and other sea creatures. Those who prefer farming can
take advantage of rich soil (土壤) in valleys near rivers. Some people are willing to accept the
