Round eyes, round head, round ears, round body! What is this lovely little animal?
It looks like a bear. But it is not a bear. It’s a koala.
People in Australia love koalas and take care of them. They have set up places for them to live safely. No one can kill them for their pretty fur.
When a koala is born, it has no fur. And it is not as big as your little toe(脚趾)! The mother koala has a pouch(育儿袋) in the front of her body. The baby goes into this warm pouch. There it stays for about six months.
The koala could not live without a special kind of tree. The tree gives it both its home and its food. For most of the day the koala sleeps in the tree. At night the koala looks for food. It may go miles to find it. It likes the leaves of the tree. It eats more than two pounds each night!
How lovely the koalas really are!

Hamsters (仓鼠) are tiny, fuzzy and chubby (胖乎乎) animals. When people see hamsters putting food in the cheeks (脸颊), they can’t stop laughing. Hamsters’ big cheeks make themselves look cute. The cheek pouch (颊囊) is not only cute. It is useful, too. A hamster uses it like a bag. When the hamster finds something delicious, it hides it in its pouch. Peanuts, grapes, carrots—there are lots of delicious snacks in its “bag”. Will it get full and break? NO worries. The pouch can expand (伸展) to about three times its size! It might win the Guinness World Record (吉尼斯世界纪录) for having the biggest mouth!
Evolution (进化) gives a hamster the pouch because it’s so small and weak. The hamster has many enemies (敌人) in the world, such as foxes, owls (猫头鹰), snakes and cats. Those animals may catch the hamster when it’s looking for food. When they show up (出现), the hamster has to run quickly. With the big pouch, it can run back home fast with both its life and its lunch. Otherwise (不然), it might die of hunger.
But the pouch also brings the hamster some not-so-cute problems. When foods stay in the pouch for a long time, they will go bad. The hamster can’t clean its pouch with a tooth brush. It hurts! It will stop eating.
