In nature, you may see many insects (昆虫) and animals of different colors. Do you know why?
Locusts (蝗虫) are very delicious food for birds, but it is not always easy for birds to catch them. That is not because locusts are good jumpers or runners. Is that because they are smarter than their enemies (敌人)? The answer is “no”. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can't be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have the colors like the trees. For the same reason, polar bears are white like the color of snow. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the dark and wet soil. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. In order to survive,they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night for their safety.
The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over (喷洒), its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish swims away at once. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.

They are animals that live in the south of the Yangtze River in China. They have hard scales (鳞). They are also known as scaly anteaters (食蚁兽) and help to protect trees in the forest. They are Chinese pangolins (中华穿山甲).
But they are in danger now. Experts said that Chinese pangolins are functionally extinct (功能性灭绝), Beijing News reported. This means they cannot give birth to baby pangolins in the wild. They can no longer play an important role in the wild.
According to a national wildlife survey, there were about 60, 000 Chinese pangolins in different places, including Yunnan and Zhejiang in the 1990s. Since then, this number has gone down by 90 percent because of poachers (偷猎者).
It's said that the government would carry out stricter policy to protect pangolins in 2016, which means they would be protected at the same level as giant pandas. People would not be able to sell or use pangolin products.
Why do people hunt pangolins? Poachers hunt Chinese pangolins for their scales and meat. People use their scales in traditional Chinese medicine. And it's believed that their meat is high in nutritional value.
