A study had found uglier animals attract less attention and less funding when it comes to conservation efforts and research. This could mean the ugliest animal pop
6、ulation could be under threat.The study was conducted by wildlife biologists Trish Fleming and Bill Bateman in Perth, Australia. They looked at research publications concerning 331 Australian mammal species that broadly fell into categories they labeled as “the good, the bad and the ugly”. It turned
7、 out that studies into “the good group” and “the bad group” were carried out while “the ugly group” was ignored.Ugly animals, such as the fruit bat and the tree bat, are being ignored by conservationists. And some animals are even becoming endangered because of how they look. The Madagascan lemur (狐
8、猴) called the ayeaye is so ugly that the natives have long seen them as a bad sign, or a sign of death, so they kill them whenever they see them. Other ugly animals under threat include the dugong (儒艮) and the proboscis monkey (长鼻猴)Despite making up 45% of the 331 species studied, the ugly animals h

10、we are still in the dark.With Bill Bateman, Trish Fleming has called for improved funding for the lesserknown mammals. “It would be tragic if humans ended up causing the extinction of more species without even knowing anything about them，” they said.11Based on the text, “the ugly animals” _.Aare inc

It may seem sad to think that they dont remember what theyve eaten or where theyve been, and they dont recog
14、nize you or any of their friends-every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But dont be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from a

They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used computer software to monitor the
16、 fishs movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier s
17、tudy showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But untilthe latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the
