这个洞里住着什么呀？ 作者：基拉·弗里德

My first post. I found a big hole in the ground two months ago on a hike. I thought it was the opening to an animal's burrow. I had no idea what kind of animal lived there, though. I took a picture with my phone and asked my teacher if she knew.

我的第一篇帖子 两个月前我远足的时候，在地上发现了一个大洞。 我猜这是某个动物洞穴的入口。 不过我完全不知道里面住的是什么动物。 我用手机拍了张照，问我的老师知不知道。

My teacher taught me how to research to find the answer to my question. Before long, I started blogging. Every week, I researched the burrow of one animal. I post my work on our class blog. Some of my classmates have started blogging too. Check out my blog posts.

老师教我怎么做研究来找问题的答案。 没过多久，我就开始写博客啦。 每周我都会研究一种动物的洞穴。 我把我的成果发到班级博客上。 我的一些同学也开始写博客啦。 快来看看我的博客帖子吧。

Staying cool. A desert tortoise lives in this hole. This reptile lives in a desert. It can only stay alive by digging a burrow to escape the heat. The desert tortoise spends almost all of its life underground. It sleeps all winter to stay warm.

避暑小妙招： 这个洞里住着一只沙漠陆龟。 这种爬行动物生活在沙漠里。 它只有挖洞躲避酷热才能活下去。 沙漠陆龟几乎一辈子都待在地下。 它整个冬天都睡觉来保暖。

Keeping Eggs Safe A huge spider lives in this hole. The Goliath bird -eating spider lives in a deep burrow. It may dig its own burrow or use one that another animal no longer uses. A female stays in her burrow for most of her life. She lays around 50 eggs in a little silk bag. She takes the bag with her if she leaves to hunt.

保护卵的安全 这个洞里住着一只巨型蜘蛛。 歌利亚食鸟蛛住在很深的洞穴里。 它可能会自己挖洞，也可能用其他动物废弃的洞穴。 雌蛛大半辈子都待在自己的洞穴里。 它会在一个小丝囊里产大约50枚卵。 如果它出门捕猎，会带着这个丝囊一起走。

Making a Nest This hole belongs to Atlantic puffins. These birds spend most of their life on the open ocean. They use their strong wings and webbed feet to fly and swim. Puffins swim much better than they fly.

筑巢 这个洞是大西洋海雀的家。 这种鸟儿大半辈子都生活在开阔的海洋上。 它们用有力的翅膀和蹼足飞翔、游泳。 海雀游泳可比飞行厉害多啦。
