4. Divide into teams. One team reads the text about the elk and the other team reads the text about the beaver. Fill in the table in your exercise-books while you read the text.

Elk

The elk is a large deer. It has got a dark, brown body with long greyish white legs. On its legs there are hooves which help elks to move in soft snow, (грязь / бруд) or wet ground. The elk has a short hairy tail and long ears. Male elks have antlers ['æntlɘz] (рога / порі) which are shed (сбрасывают / скідваюць) each winter and grown again during the summer season. Elks are 150–210 cm in height. They can weigh from 130 to 520 kg and live up to 25 years.

Elks mostly live in the centre and the north-east of Belarus. Their habitat is areas with lakes and swamps. Elks are active during the day. They live alone, but in winter they sometimes form small groups which are called herds. Elks eat grass, leaves, and water plants. Their enemies (враги / ворагі) are bears and wolves, who hunt elk calves (babies).

danger – dangerous – endangered

In the 19th century there were a lot of elks all over Belarus. In the 20th century the elk became an endangered species because it was hunted by humans. Thanks to the conservation programme (программа сохранения / праграма захавання), the situation has become better and the elk population has grown. Because of their dark coloured fur, elks are sometimes hit by cars, because it is hard to see them in the dark.

Beaver

The beaver is related (родственный / роднасны) to the squirrel and can be up to 75 cm long without the tail which can be from 25 to 50 cm. They weigh 22–30 kilos and live from 12 to 16 years. Their fur is brown and very dense with 23,000 hairs per square cm (only 600 for humans!). Their coat is covered with oil to protect them from cold.

Beavers can be found all over Belarus. They always live close to the water where they build their dams from branches and mud. They mainly eat leaves, bark (кора / кара) and plants.

They usually live in small groups and stay with their partners for life. Beavers are active during the night and over one night an adult beaver can use its teeth to cut down a tree that is 50 centimeters in diameter.

Beavers have several (несколько / некалькі) natural enemies such as wolves and lynxes, but the main enemies of beavers are people and traffic. In fact, beavers were hunted for their fur (мех / футра) in the 20th century and became an endangered species. Now their population has grown and people can hunt them again.

Did you know that?

The largest dam beavers have built is located in Wood Buffalo National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is 850 m long, and can be seen from space.
