Description
Today is World Wildlife Day! Let's talk about a wild animal that lives in a cold, icy place… the emperor penguin.
今天是世界野生動物日。我們來談談生活在冷冰冰地方的野生動物… 皇帝企鵝。
Emperor penguins live in Antarctica. It is their home, but it is too cold for people. How can we learn more about these wild animals?
皇帝企鵝生活在南極洲。這是他們的家,那裡對人類來說太冷了。我們要怎麼樣做才能更了解這些野生動物呢?
We can use a satellite. A satellite flies high in the sky. It can take photos of Earth.
我們可以使用衛星。衛星高飛在天空中,可以拍攝地球的照片。
Recently, scientists were looking at satellite photos of Antarctica, when they saw something strange. They saw a little dot on the ice. What was it?
科學家最近在查看南極洲的衛星照片時,看到一些奇怪的東西。他們在冰上看到一個小黑點,到底是什麼?
They looked closer, and saw the little dot was actually a big group of penguins. There were a thousand penguins in the group. They were living on the ice together, catching fish to feed their babies.
仔細看過之後,發現那個小點其實是一大群企鵝,大約有一千隻。 他們一起生活在冰上,捕魚餵養企鵝寶寶。
The scientists are happy. There are fewer and fewer emperor penguins every year, so it's good news to find more.
科學家很高興。皇帝企鵝的數量一年比一年少,所以能找到更多是個好消息。
Now scientists can study this wildlife, all thanks to the satellite photos!
現在科學家可以研究這種野生動物,這都要感謝衛星照片!
