INTRODUCTION

• We have chosen this project work, because we
  liked the project work last year about dinosaurs.
  We think that this project work will help us
  better to learn the English language. We have
  divided up the work in groups. The main aim of
  project work was to find out about endangered
  species and the names of their body parts.
• This project work is made up of the following
  parts Introduction , contents, conclusions,
  bibliography.

• Endangered species

Giant Panda habitation territory

• Wild giant pandas are found only in southwestern
  China. They occupy 6 small forest fragments in
  the provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi.

5

• The giant panda only exists at present in six
  small areas located in inland China. The habitat,
  suitable for the bamboo on which it survives, is
  a cold, damp coniferous forest. The elevation
  ranges from 1,200 to 3,400 metres ( 4,000 to
  11,000 feet) high. In most of the areas in which
  they still roam wild, they must compete with
  farmers who farm the river valleys and the lower
  slopes of the mountains.

6

• A panda's coat is thick and wooly. It is white
  with black eye patches, ears, legs, band across
  shoulders and sometimes tip of tail. Fur is
  slightly oily preventing water penetration. Their
  striking coloration is thought to be an important
  signal to other pandas ( They avoid contact and
  have poor vision). Brown-and-white pandas exist
  but are extremely rare. Black and white and
  bearlike, the panda roams in a welldefined
  homerange of between 3.9 and 12 km .

7

• Pandas have scent glands positioned under the
  tail. Their head is relatively massive with well
  developed chewing muscles. Unlike other bears,
  they have well-developed premolars.
• Their molars are broad and flat and adapted to
  chewing bamboo. Their digestive system is typical
  of a carnivore only slightly adapted for
  processing bamboo tough esophageal lining,
  pyloric region of stomach thick and muscular,
  small intestine shortened, colon surface area
  enlarged.

RHINOCEROS

• DESCRIPTION There are five species of rhinos
  two African and three Asian. The African species
  are the white and black rhinos. Both species have
  two horns. Asian rhinos include the Indian and
  the Javan, each with one horn, and the Sumatran,
  which has two.
• POPULATION Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis) 2,400
  White Rhino (Ceratotherium simum)
  7,500Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)
  400Javan Rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) fewer
  than 100Indian Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis)
  more than 2,000

RHINOCEROS

• HABITAT Rhino habitat ranges from savannas to
  dense forests in tropical and subtropical
  regions.
• FOOD Rhinos are herbivores, meaning they eat
  only plants. White rhinos, with their
  square-shaped lips, are ideally suited to graze
  on grass. Other rhinos prefer to eat the foliage
  of trees or bushes.
• BEHAVIOR As solitary creatures, both male and
  female rhinos establish territories. Males mark
  and defend their territories. Rhinos use their
  horns not only in battles for territory or
  females but also to defend themselves from lions,
  tigers and hyenas.

RHINOCEROS

• THREATS Rhinos rank among the most endangered
  species on Earth. Valued for their horns, they
  face a serious threat from poaching. Some
  cultures believe that the powdered rhino horn
  will cure everything from fever to food poisoning
  and will enhance sexual stamina.
• PROTECTION CITES, Appendix I, Endangered
  Species Act
• Convention on International Trade in Endangered
  Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, an international
  treaty with more than 144 member countries.
  Appendix I listed species cannot be traded
  commercially. Appendix II listed species can be
  traded commercially only if trade does not harm
  their survival.

Conclusions

• We reached the aim of the project work.
• This project was successful for us.
• Our time was well planed.
• We have learned to work in a group.
• We have learned some new words.
• Our computer skills are better.
• We have improved our computer literacy skills.
• We found out new things about endangered species.
• We think that it helped us to learn the English
  language better.
• Our project could be useful for people who learn
  Geography and Biology.
