The Smallest Rabbit in the World
Let me tell you about the smallest rabbit in the world. It can actually fit
in the palms of your mom or dad's hands!
你知道全世界最小的兔子,比你爸爸媽媽的手掌還要小!
Scientists say the smallest rabbit in the world lives in just one part of
America, and about 20 years ago, scientists thought they were all gone. Yeah!
They thought the tiny rabbit was extinct... Like the dinosaurs! Gone,
forever!
科學家說,美國只有一個地區有這種兔子,而且二十年前,他們就以為這種兔子像恐龍一樣絕種了!
But, they found 14 of these tiny rabbits, and they took them to a special
zoo. The scientists worked very hard, and now these tiny rabbits are back in
the wild. Cool, right?
後來他們找到14隻這種迷你兔,送到一個特別的動物園。現在這些兔子已經重返野外。
Some people see this super tiny rabbit and they want to get one, they think
it would be a great pet. But actually, this cute little bunny is not a good
pet. It is very small, so it gets scared very easily. To this rabbit, a human
must look like a scary giant!
有一些人想要這種兔子當做寵物,但是牠們太小隻了,很容易被嚇到。對牠們來說,人類就像恐怖的巨人。
So, no. We shouldn't have them as pets, but we can be very happy that
scientists found a way to save them.
I hope these little bunnies have a happy life in the wild, and that we can
see them on earth for a long, long time!
Good luck, tiny rabbit!

How Do Dogs Use Their Tails?
Who's a good boy? You're a good boy!
This dog looks happy. He is wagging his tail. But I wonder... Why do dogs
have a tail? What does the tail do?
這隻狗狗正在搖尾巴,牠看起來很開心。 但為什麼狗狗有尾巴呢? 尾巴有什麼功能?
Recently, some scientists in Germany asked the same question. They wanted to
know what a dog's tail is for. They saw how other animals use their tails.
Lizards use their tails to jump. Cats use their tails to turn quickly.
德國科學家最近也在問這個問題。他們看到蜥蜴用尾巴來跳躍,貓用尾巴快速轉身。

After that, the scientists came up with an idea. The scientists thought dogs
may also use their tails this way.
科學家們認為狗狗也是這樣。
Next, they had to see if their idea was right. To do this, the scientists
studied many dogs to see how they move. Then they used what they learned to
make a computer model of a dog.
然後,他們研究了許多狗狗的移動方式,用那些資訊做出狗狗的電腦模擬。
They studied the computer model, and in the end they had an answer... Their
idea was wrong! Dogs' tails do not help dogs move.
結果科學家發現他們的假設錯了!狗尾巴不是用來協助牠們動作。
So why do dogs have tails? Maybe dogs use their tails to show their feelings.
