A thousand years ago Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people came to1 in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is2forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods.
Elephants, tigers and many3 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the4began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and5pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed6to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them. 7did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon8in the same way.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong9in the zoos. But there are still about 36 different animals10there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals11a rich brown coat and a white patch (补丁) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet12. They make a noise rather like a dog13. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy--14. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important15people to protect wild animals.
