Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Others believe wolves must be protected.wolvesFor Killing WolvesIn Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago because people were killing hundreds of them. However, laws were made to protect the wolves. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters and by changes in the wild plant life. When the deer cant find enough good, they will die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey will disappear some day. The wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle (循环) of life in the wild land. In another northern state, wolves kill cows and chickens for food. Farmers believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas.Against Killing WolvesAccording to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf” still spread among the people.Actually wolves are afraid of people and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young or the sick. The strongest isnt killed. No animal would have lived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. It has always been a law of nature.Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wild plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wild land is not used for human needs, the wolves cant always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest place, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.16 .

Scientists believe that millions of years ago, ancestors of camels lived in North America. There was a bridge of land over the Bering Strait that led to Asia. One group of the animals moved to Asia. These animals developed into camels of today. Another group went to South America. This group developed into the llama, an animal in the same family as the camel. There are two types of camels, the dromedary and Bactrian. The dromedary has one hump and is found mostly in Arabian countries. The Bactrian camel has two humps and is found in Asian countries. All dromedary camels today is domesticated(驯养). Bactrian camels can still be found in the wild in areas of Mongolia and China. The Bactrian camel is shorter and heavier than the dromedary. Also, the pads on its feet are thicker so that it can walk in colder, rockier places than the dromedary. The camel has many interesting characteristics. For example, unlike most animals, it lifts both feet on one side at the same time when it runs. This causes it to rock from side to side when it runs. Another unusual characteristic is the camels ability to eat almost everything if it becomes hungry enough. It might even eat part of a tent or a basket if it cannot find the grass it prefers.Camels are the best pack animals in the world. They can carry things as heavy as 600 pounds 25 miles a day. They can also go without water for as long as two weeks in the winter.You might think that a camel stores some food and water in its hump or humps. This is what human beings thought for many years, but it is not true. A camels hump is made up of fat and muscle. If a camel has to go without food for several days, it can use the fat in its hump for energy. The camel keeps water in its tissues and cells(组织细胞). Its body does not use the water to cool off the way the human body does. That is why a camels body temperature can change, by as much as 11. 20 .
