Contoh teks report
A Rabbit
A
rabbit is
a small fury mammal with a short tail and pointed ears. Rabbits live in
burrows
in the ground. Each burrow is the home of a single family. The first
fossil
which can be attribute to this family came from North America, but now
they are
found in every part of the world. Compared to its small body, rabbit has
large-sized ears.
A
rabbit is
a weak and timid animal and is always surrounded by many enemies.
Therefore,
nature has gifted it with large ears to help it to hear even the fun of
drop
sound. The large area of the ear catches almost every sound wave
produced in
the air and transfers them into the inner ear. This make the rabbit to
detect
its enemies in time and run to safety zones.
You
must
have noticed tha a rabbit washes its ears by repeatedly licking its
forepows
and rubbing them over the surface of its ears. It does this in order to
keep
its ear clean, and also to take into its mouth natural oil which
surrounds the
ear surface. This oil is important in forming vitamin D which necessary
for the
growth of healthy bones. If the rabbit is not allowed to form this, it
will
develop rickets.
Gorrilas
Gorilas
are
the largest of all the primates. A male gorillas 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 lough 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.
