23、g out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there arenow more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them

24、off."As they go in to rest for the night, theyjust don ' t see the power lines, “ says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution（ 电死）if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, pl

25、aced in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with.

26、 When condors eat deadbodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney（'肾）failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are

27、 treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideout ' s team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the
