    A thousand years ago, Hong Kong was covered with a thick forest. As more and more people came to 1in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 2 forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods.

    Elephants, tigers and many 3 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the 4 began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and 5 pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed 6 to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them. 7 did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon 8 in the same way.

    You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong 9 in the zoos. But there are still about 36 different kinds of animals 10 there. One of the most interesting animals in Hong Kong is the barking deer.

Now some animals are in great danger in the world.

Snow leopards(雪豹) live in the cold mountains of Central Asia. They're from the cat family. A snow leopard is smaller than a lion or a tiger, but it's still a very large animal. An adult snow leopard is often more than two meters long. They like to live and look for food alone. Now some people kill snow leopards to get their beautiful fur(毛皮).

Tigers also come from the cat family. They feed on small animals such as deer and sheep. Tigers are in danger now, because some people cut down the trees and catch them. People kill tigers also for their beautiful fur. In 1939, there were about 30, 000 tigers in India. But today there are only 3,000. Elephants live in forests. An Asian elephant's ears are much smaller than an African elephant's ears.

    Elephants need lots of places to live in and to find food. There are only less than 3,000 Ceylon elephants (a kind of Asian elephant) in the world now.

European otters(水獭) live in the rivers around Europe. They have soft and brown fur on their bodies. Usually a European otter is about 75 cm long. It has small and round ears. Today some people kill the animals for their fur.
