Most rabbits rest and sleep during the day, and eat and play at night. A
rabbit is called a herbivorous animal because of the leafy green food he eats. In
the spring and summer months, be eats flora, such as clover, grass, and weeds.
During the winter, he nibbles twigs, bark, and the fruit of trees and bushes.
Many rabbits have made a farmer angry by ravaging his beans, lettuce, peas, or
other vegetables. By gnawing the bark and eating the sprouts, rabbits have
damaged fruit trees and berry bushes.

THE HISTORY OF THE DOG
Scientists think that dogs, wolves 'and bears must have evolved from a
small animal called a Miachis which lived 40 million years ago. And for at least
10,000 years, man and dog have been living together, sharing food, shelter,
work and play. There are very many different breeds (kinds) of dogs because
men have wanted dogs for many different purposes -'hunting (killing small
animals; fetching dead birds for the hunter) f ''working (with sheep or cattle;
with police; pulling sleighs in the snow) and as small ornamental pets. Different
breeds of dogs have got to have personalities which suit their work. Dogs, like
wolves, used to live and travel in packs with other dogs. To a pet dog, the family
is its pack and one person is the leader of the pack or family.

wolves (pl. от wolf ) волки
