[00:00.00]CHAPTER THREE [00:-1.00]Reading page 39 to 40 [00:-2.00]Young and Green Magazine. [00:-3.00]Continuing our series on endangered animals, [00:-4.00]this month we talk to Professor Penny Sanders to... [00:-5.00]GET THE FACTS ON WOLVES [00:-6.00]1.Where do they live? [00:-7.00]Wolves live in the northern half of the world,on three continents: [00:-8.00]Europe,Asia and North America. [00:-9.00]They are very adaptable: [00:10.00]they can live in forests,on open plains,or in the snows of the Arctic [00:11.00]2.What are they like? [00:12.00]They resemble big dogs,with long legs, a wide head and thick fur. [00:13.00]In fact,all of our domestic dogs probably came from wolves,many years ago [00:14.00]They are about 1.5 to 2 metres long, [00:15.00]and are about three-quarters of a metre in height. [00:16.00]Provided that a wolf gets enough food,it will weigh about 40-50 kilograms [00:17.00]3.What do they eat? [00:18.00]Wolves usually eat small mammals such as mice,rabbits and deer. [00:19.00]But they also hunt together to try to kill bigger animals [00:20.00]such as moose and musk oxen. [00:21.00]If they catch and kill a big animal,they eat as much as they can. [00:22.00]Then they may not eat for up to two weeks. [00:23.00]4,What is their family life like? [00:24.00]There are about 6-8 wolves in a pack. [00:25.00]Only one pair of wolves will produce cubs, [00:26.00]but all the members of the pack will help to feed and look after the cubs [00:27.00]If any danger threatens the cubs,the whole pack will protect the youngsters [00:28.00]5.Are they dangerous to people? [00:29.00]The wolf has a reputation as a fierce animal, [00:30.00]and in many stories and films it attacks people. [00:31.00]However,the truth is different. [00:32.00]There is no proof that a wild wolf has ever harmed a human being. [00:33.00]If you were in a forest and saw a wolf,it would run away from you. [00:34.00]6.Are they in danger from people? [00:35.00]Yes,very much so. [00:36.00]Wherever people have spread in the world,they have killed wolves, [00:37.00]usually to protect their own animals such as sheep and cattle. [00:38.00]As a result,the numbers of wolves have been greatly reduced. [00:39.00]They are extinct in many countries. [00:40.00]In Britain, for example,wolves became extinct in about 1650. [00:41.00]Similarly,there used to be many thousands of wolves in America. [00:42.00]Now there are fewer than 2,000. [00:43.00]If people had not come to America, [00:44.00]wolves would not have disappeared. [00:45.00]7.What is being done to help them? [00:46.00]If we do not stop killing wolves,they will soon be extinct everywhere. [00:47.00]People started to realize this 20 or 30 years ago, [00:48.00]and slowly started programmes to protect wolves. [00:49.00]In many European countries,the killing has now ceased,and wolves are protected by law [00:50.00]In Germany, for instance,where there are now very few wolves,a campaign has started [00:51.00]It has several objectives. [00:52.00]One is to get better publicity for the wolf. [00:53.00]If more people learn the truth about wolves, [00:54.00]they won't hate wolves and won't want to kill them. [00:55.00]Another aim is to preserve areas of the countryside in which wolves can live [00:56.00]This would also be good for many other forms of wildlife. [00:57.00]A third objective is to work out practical ways in which people [00:58.00]and wolves can live together. [00:59.00]Wolves cannot manage on their own. [-1:00.00]Unless we help them in positive ways,they will disappear for ever.
