Which fact do you think is the most interesting? Why?
Do you know
...that there once was another animal like kangaroo or koala on Earth? It was a wolf
which also carried its baby in a bag of skin. It lived on the island of Tasmania, near
Australia. It was a strong and frightening animal. All the wolves of this kind were killed.
However some people believe that a few of them are still living in the thick forests of
Tasmania.
...that Singapore is probably the cleanest place on Earth? Its streets are washed with
special shampoo every day. The thing that makes streets in other places untidy is
chewing gum, There is a rule which says that in Singapore people must not use
chewing gum, and tourists who bring it there must be punished,
... which bird has the longest neck and legs? It is the flamingo. Pink flamingoes in
nature are pink because of certain ingredients in the food they eat, If in some zoos pink
flamingoes get wrong food, they can lose their colour and become dirty-white.
