If dogs did not come with the first people to enter North America over 10,000 years ago, then they were not far behind, and dogs have been part of the peopling of the continent ever since. Derr, writer-historian and author of a previous work on the human-dog relationship [Dog's Best Friend (1997)], presents a history of the dog in the New World, following their changing role in human societies and their importance to the survival of those societies. Using historical records and personal accounts from people living at the time, the author presents a story that ranges from the brutal Spanish conquest of the Caribbean and South America (greatly aided by their dogs of war), the use of bloodhounds to track runaway slaves and other prisoners, and the rise of the concept of purebred dogs. In the final chapter, Derr looks at the roles that dogs play in today's society and calls for changes in how we view the place of the dog. This fascinating history is both harsh and touching.
Pandas are called Xiong Mao in Chinese, meaning "bear-cat", because it looks like a bear in shape and a cat in face. It actually is a member of the bear family. It has black furs on ears, nose, eyes patches and shoulders and the rest is white. A panda is about sixty inches long from nose to rump and with a short tail of about six inches. A big one weighs more than two hundred to four hundred pounds.
Pandas eat bamboo only, so they have to live in certain places where large amount of bamboo can be found. But pandas in the zoos eat some other things like rice porridge, apples, sweet potatoes and carrots.
In recent years, bamboo flowers and then dies out, which happens once every one hundred years. Pandas will starve to death if they cannot find other bamboo forests before the one they live in dies. Today, there are only one thousand pandas in the wild and mostly in central China. It has been listed in the World Conversation Union's Red List of Threatened Animals, but it is still in danger. We need to do something more to help this rare and lovely animal.
