On rainbow wings almost three feet (one meter)across,a fledgling scarlet macaw in the Peruvian Amazon rides the wind for the first time.Of the world’s 350parrot species 17are macaws—marked by their long tails and huge beaks. 在秘鲁的亚马逊河畔，一只翼展有3英尺长的金刚鹦鹉，展开它美丽如彩虹的翅膀滑翔着。世界上共有350种鹦鹉，其中只有17种属于金刚鹦鹉。金刚鹦鹉因其长长的尾巴和巨大的喙而得名。 
As if sculpted from clay and left to dry,a breeding herd of elephant cows and their young drink from a water hole in Namibia’s Etosha National Park.It takes up to 50gallons (189liters)a day to quench the thirst of Earth’s largest land mammal,which wears cool mud like a bodysuit against its sensitive,sun-baked skin. 远远看去，这几只大象便如雕象一般，因为附在它们身上的湿泥早已干枯皲裂。作为地球上最大的陆地哺乳动物，以草为生的大象每天要消耗189升的水。而那些附在身上的泥确是保护它们皮肤不被纳米比亚炙热阳光灼伤的最佳护肤品。 
A race for survival in the Serengeti pits a graceful gazelle against a sprinting cheetah,the world’s fastest land mammal—capable of topping 60miles (96kilometers)an hour.Sometimes gazelles can zig and zag out of reach and outlast their often short-winded pursuers.Not this time. 弱肉强食的游戏规则在塞伦吉地的土地上一直存在。一只瞪羚为活命而拼命奔逃，通常瞪羚用急转弯的方式逃脱捕猎者的追杀，但这一次却最终未能躲过世界上速度最快的哺乳动物的捕杀。 ----
