Animal Families

动物家族

Chapter 1 Deer Families People take care of their babies when they are small. Most animals take care of their babies, too. Some animals even live in families. Baby Deer A deer is a mammal just like you. Mammals are not hatched from eggs at birth. Deer mothers can have one to three babies at one time. The babies, or fawns, can walk very soon after they are born. They wobble a little, but they can walk! Deer mothers feed their babies for about two months.

第1章 鹿的家庭 当宝宝们还小的时候，人们会照顾他们。大多数动物也会照顾它们的幼崽。有些动物甚至以家庭为单位生活。 小鹿 鹿和你一样是哺乳动物。哺乳动物出生时不是从蛋里孵出来的。 鹿妈妈一次可以生一到三只小鹿。这些幼崽，也叫小鹿犊，出生后不久就能走路了。它们会摇摇晃晃的，但确实能走! 鹿妈妈大约会喂养小鹿两个月。

Some enemies of baby deer are bobcats, coyotes, and mountain lions. But baby deer have no smell, so their enemies cannot find them. The mother deer hides her babies in bushes. Baby deer also have spots that help them hide in the leaves. The spots go away when the deer grow older. Deer eat fruits, nuts, and leaves.

小鹿的一些天敌是山猫、郊狼和美洲狮。但小鹿没有气味，所以它们的天敌找不到它们。母鹿把小鹿藏在灌木丛中。小鹿身上还有斑点，这有助于它们藏在树叶里。随着鹿长大，这些斑点就会消失。 鹿吃水果、坚果和树叶。

Young Deer Young deer stay with their mothers for a year or two. After that, they can take care of themselves. Soon they will have their own families. Boy deer, or bucks, begin growing antlers, which take a few months to grow. Girl deer, called does, do not grow antlers.

小鹿 小鹿会和它们的母亲一起生活一到两年。之后，它们就能自己照顾自己了。不久之后它们就会有自己的家庭。雄鹿开始长鹿角，这需要几个月的时间才能长成。 雌鹿，也叫母鹿，不长鹿角。

Deer antlers break off once a year. Then they grow back. As the deer becomes an adult, he usually has bigger antlers. The antlers have more points on them if the deer is healthy. The deer will be healthy if he is able to find enough food and water. Antlers are made from bone.

鹿角每年脱落一次。然后它们会重新长出来。 随着鹿成年，它的鹿角通常会变得更大。如果鹿身体健康，鹿角上的分支就会更多。如果这只鹿能找到足够的食物和水，它就会很健康。 鹿角是由骨头构成的。
