Tigers
Tigers are the kings of the forest. They have got “a brown coat” with black strips. They have long tails and the tails are about 80-150cm long. They catch small animals as their food. Their favorite animals are deer and boars. Tigers are never far from the water. They are good swimmers and love bathing in pools and lakes. The young ones stay with their mothers in a family group for two years, learning to hunt. They look like the large cats. When tigers roar, you can hear the sound almost two miles away. But when they are in pain, they purr③, like a cat in your house. Tigers have just about the same lifespan as your house cat. It is about fifteen years.
附译文:
老 虎
老虎享有“森林之王”的美称。它们披着棕色的“外套”,镶嵌着黑色的条纹。它们的尾巴很长,有80-150厘米。它们捕食小动物,而鹿和野猪又是它们的最爱。老虎离水不会很远,它们是“游泳健将”,喜欢在池中和湖中洗澡。虎仔会和妈妈们一起生活两年多,学习怎样捕食。老虎像“巨大的猫”,当它们吼叫时,你在两英里外就能听到;但当它们感到疼痛时,就会像你家中的猫一样“呼噜呼噜”地发声。老虎和猫的寿命不多,都是十五年左右。
