但穿山甲并未彻底被大众遗忘。一直以来,不乏有令人钦佩的敬业人士致力于减少非法穿山甲交易,用自己的微薄之力建立亚洲穿山甲康复中心;现在有“世界穿山甲日”;你可以在网上购买印有“救救穿山甲”字样的T恤衫。
But without a significant increase in support, these mammals of mystery are at serious risk of disappearing entirely before most people even know they exist.
但是倘若人类不加大保护力度,那么在大部分公众知道世界上有穿山甲这种动物之前,这种神秘的哺乳动物就将面临灭顶之灾。
It may not be as cute and cuddly as a panda, or as strong as a rhino, but it only takes an online image search to see this peculiar creature has potential. They're shy, non-aggressive, and their bizarre scaly shell has earnt them cute nicknames like "walking pinecone" and "modern day dinosaur". And I haven't even mentioned their super sticky tongue can be longer than their body, ideal for scooping up ants.
穿山甲或许不如熊猫那般可爱,让人忍不住拥抱,也不如犀牛那般强壮,但你只需上网搜一下它们的图片,就可以看到这种奇特生物也很不错。它们很害羞,性情温和,身上奇特的鳞片状铠甲让它们获得了诸如“行走的松果”、“现代恐龙”等昵称。对了,我还没提到穿山甲超级黏的舌头呢,它们的舌头比身体还长,是舔食蚂蚁的绝好工具。
