THE CHEETAH

          The cheetah is the fastest animal on land. It
can run 100 kilometers an hour. It is now rare
and is one of the animals which is in danger of
extinction.
The cheetah has a small head and ears, and
long, powerful legs. It always hunts and chases
its prey on open ground.
This is a different way of hunting from the
other “big cats.” They like to stay in and near trees to catch their prey. The
cheetah is also different from other cats because it cannot draw in its claws.

GORILLAS

          Gorillas are the largest of all the primates. A male gorilla can be 180 centimeters
tall and can weigh 200 kilograms. Gorillas are very strong but they do not
often fight. In fact they are peaceful animals.
Gorillas live in small family groups of about 15. In a group there is one
strong, older male, some young males, and a few females with their babies.
They move slowly around a large area of jungle eating leaves and bushes.
In some ways gorillas are very like humans. When they are happy, they
laugh and wave their arms. When they are angry, they beat their chests. When
they are sad, they cry. But they cry quietly, without any tears.
Unfortunately, people hunt and kill gorillas. They also cut down and burn
their trees. There are now only about 10,000 gorillas left in the world.

LANDSLIDE

We usually also say that landslide is when a large amount of soil and rocks falls down the side of hill,cliff, or mountain.

          

           Landslide can occur naturally or because of human’s action. Natural causes of landslide includes erosion by river, heavy rains and snowmelt, glacier melting, ocean waves which create over steepened slopes, earthquake, volcanic eruptions, thunder and lightning, and ground water pressure. Human cause of landslide includes vibrations from machinery, traffic and road construction, blasting, mining, and logging
