Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are special birds mostly found in Central and South America. They are very small; the smallest species is only 5 cm long. Their name comes from the humming sound their wings make. They can beat their wings up to 80 times a second.
Bloodhounds
The bloodhound is a breed of dog. They are famous for their amazing sense of smell and ability to track people over great distances. Bloodhounds have millions of scent
receptors in their noses, making their sense of
smell much better than humans. They are used
by police to track missing persons or suspects.
What can we learn from the
amazing animals in nature
Chameleons (变色龙)
Chameleons can move their eyes separately and look in two different directions at the same time! Chameleons can also change colors. They might be green one moment and brown 20 seconds later.
Humans have got important inspiration (灵感) from chameleons' color-changing ability and invented Camouflage uniforms (迷彩服). Soldiers wear these uniforms, so they can blend into(融入) the environment and stay safe during missions.
