A
You probably know that frogs hop
(
双足跳
). But did you know that
there's a small frog in the Pacific
Northwest that belly flops
(
肚子先着水
)? It's called a
tailed frog.
Dr. Rick
Eisner, who has been studying tailed frogs for the
past few years, says,
jumps and have
never seen them land on their feet like other
frogs.
stomachs and then bring their
back legs in to prepare for another jump.
Eisner first noticed
these frogs because of the way they swim. Other
frogs kick both of their back legs at the
same time. But when a tailed frog
swims, it pushes first with one leg and then the
other.
To try to find
out why tailed frogs bellyflop, Eisner and other
scientists collected and filmed different kinds of
frogs. They found that all of the frogs
start their jumps the same way: They hold out
their legs. The change
comes in the
landing. Tailed frogs can't move their back legs
as quickly as other frogs do. Maybe they don't
need
to. Tailed frogs live around water
and quickly jump into the water to escape danger.
Early frogs developed
around watery areas and could jump quickly into
the water to escape danger. Scientists
think those frogs blended in with (
与
…
融合在一起
)
the green plants on the side of the rocky rivers,
just like
today's tailed frogs.
When other animals find those early
frogs, the frogs could jump into the river. They
didn't need to continue
hopping.
Tailed frogs and other
kinds of frogs went their own ways about 200
million years ago. Tailed frogs stayed by
rivers. Other kinds of frogs moved to
places where new hopping skills allowed them to
survive.

When
seven-
year-
old Sky Nockels
learned that black rhinoceroses
(
犀牛
) were an endangered
species, he
decided to do something to
help them. He raised money to adopt
(
收养
) a black rhino named
Imara at the Great
Plains Zoo in South
Dakota. By adopting Imara, Sky helps the zoo take
care of the rhino's needs, such as food and
a good habitat.
Sky has been a summer camp member at
the Great Plains Zoo since he was three. There he
and other kids
learnt about the animals
and did projects for them. “We made juice drinks
for the bears,” says Sky. “They
enjoyed
them
.”
Now that Sky is older, he is playing an
even more active role in the care of the animals.
Since black rhinos are
one of Sky's
favorite animals, he decided to adopt Imara first.
“I adopted a Grevy's zebra named Demani, too, for
my little brother Alexander,”
h
e says.
Sky
raised money to help care for the animals he
wanted to adopt. He promised to raise $$75 for his
rhino and
$$25 for Alexander's zebra. To
earn the money, Sky and his grandfather planted a
vegetable garden. Sky planted
seeds
(
种子
), watered, and cleared
the grass. When the time came, he harvested the
vegetables and sold them
in front of
his parents' store.
When
Sky's friends heard about this, they brought
vegetables from their parents' gardens to sell,
too. With
the help of his friends, he
earned enough money to keep his promises.
Sky is one of the
youngest people to adopt an animal at the Great
Plains Zoo. He cares about the animals and
plans to plant and sell vegetables
again this summer to help them. “I hope other
children do something t
o help
animals, too,” he says.
