Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road
----- Reported by Sheila Carrick
Why did the chicken cross the road?To get to the other side.
Most people know this joke.But recently,some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.
Millions of animals die each year on U.S.roads,the Federal Highway Administration reports.In fact,only about 80 ocelots,an endangered wild cat,exist in the U.S.today.The main reason?Roadkill.
"Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars.They are paths both over and under roads."These ecopassages can be extremely useful,so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
But do animals actually use the ecopassages?The answer is yes.Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway.This showed that the lion used the passage.
Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them.Animals seem to be catching on.Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.
The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife,look around.You might see an animal overpass!
帮助动物穿过马路的特殊桥
Sheila Carrick报道
为什么小鸡要穿过马路,因为它要到另一边.
许多人都知道这个玩笑,但是最近,一些人关注更多的是灰熊和美洲狮怎样穿过马路.
每年有数以百万计的动物死在美国的马路上,根据联邦公路管理机构的报告.事实上,如今美国只有80只豹猫(一种濒临灭绝的野猫)幸存,为什么呢?马路杀了他们!
“生态通道”或许可以帮助动物穿过马路而防止被车撞.生态通道修在公路上边或者下边.Jodi Hilty 说:“这些生态通道非常有用,可以组织野生动物与人类的冲突”,他是野生动物保护协会的一员.亚利桑那州大学的
但是这些动物真的会走生态通道吗?答案是确定的,亚利桑那州大学的Paul Beier 在公路下面的生态通道找到了美洲狮的脚印,这表明美洲狮在走通道.
一些生态通道的施工工人在生态通道周围和上面种树试图使生态通道看起来向自然的一部分.动物们好像了解了,各种动物像蝾螈、灰熊走生态桥或者路下通道.
下次你去公园或者在有很多野生动物的地方开车,看看周围,或许你能发现动物们正在通过(用生态通道)呢!
这是一篇阅读理解吧,为什么要全篇翻译呢?
