猫为什么可以爬树

小编: 安艳松

我家养了一只灰色的小猫,它非常可爱,每天在家里来回地奔跑,伸出它那锋利的爪子,一会儿抓住桌布爬上桌子,一会儿抓住沙发布爬上沙发,站在高高的沙发靠背上,看着我“喵,喵”叫,好像在说:“看,我多棒呀!”

My family has a gray kitten. It's very cute. Every day, it runs back and forth at home, stretches out its sharp claws, grabs the tablecloth and climbs on the table, grabs the sofa cloth and climbs on the sofa, stands on the back of the high sofa, looks at me "meow, meow", as if to say: "look, how wonderful I am!"

猫能在树上行动自如。当狗追逐时,猫会爬上树来躲避狗的追逐。猫之所以能快速地爬上树,是因为它有四只爪子,每一只爪子上都有像梅花一样的肉垫,每掌有6瓣,前四瓣呈弧形,每一瓣上面都有象钩子一样的指甲,而中间一瓣没有指甲。平时指甲缩进肉垫之间的缝里,看不见,当捕捉猎物或抓东西时,就伸出来,稳稳地抓住目标,因此,能迅速地爬上树。

A cat can move freely in a tree. When the dog chases, the cat climbs the tree to avoid the dog's chase. The reason why the cat can climb up the tree quickly is that it has four claws, each claw has a meat pad like a plum blossom, each palm has six petals, the first four petals are arc-shaped, each petal has nails like hooks, and the middle one has no nails. Usually, the nails are indented into the seams between the meat pads, and can't be seen. When catching prey or catching things, they stretch out and stably grasp the target. Therefore, they can quickly climb up the tree.

但不是所有带有爪子的动物都能上树。老虎、熊等动物都有爪子,但它们不会爬树。这是因为它们的生活习性与猫不同,而且它们体格强壮,可以以凶猛的力量来捕食,同时抵抗敌人的伤害,而不需要爬树来躲避敌人的追击。其次,他们的身体重量都很大,一般的树不能承受这个重量,即使爬上去,树枝会被压断。因此,它们的爪子慢慢地变成只用来捕食,而不用于上树,老虎、熊等就不会上树了。而猫则不同,除了具有锋利的爪子外,身体轻快敏捷,同时,需要爬树来躲避敌人。因此,猫是爬树的能手。

But not all animals with claws can climb trees. Tigers, bears and other animals have claws, but they can't climb trees. This is because their living habits are different from those of cats, and they are strong enough to hunt with ferocious force and resist the enemy's damage at the same time, without climbing trees to avoid the enemy's pursuit. Secondly, their body weight is very large, and ordinary trees can't bear this weight. Even if they climb up, the branches will be broken. As a result, their claws gradually become only for hunting, not for climbing trees, so tigers, bears, etc. will not climb trees. Unlike cats, which have sharp claws, they are light and agile. At the same time, they need to climb trees to avoid enemies. So cats are good at climbing trees.

人们从动物身上学到了不少知识,利用鸟的飞翔的翅膀,人类制造了飞机,成功地在空中飞行;蝙蝠能发出超声波,并能根据回声判断环境的情况寻找食物,人们研究蝙蝠这种独特的本领发明了雷达;

People have learned a lot from animals. Using the wings of birds, people make airplanes and successfully fly in the air. Bats can send out ultrasonic waves and search for food according to the echo of the environment. People study bats' unique ability and invent radar;

海豚声纳发射器能自动缩短信号的持续时间和信号距离,以利于准确地瞄准目标。科学家们模仿海豚体形和身体各部比例,以及这一奇妙功能,研制了新式核潜艇声纳系统,使其航速提高了20~25%。而且还设计出新颖的听水器。……

Dolphin sonar transmitter can automatically shorten the signal duration and signal distance, so as to aim at the target accurately. Scientists have developed a new type of nuclear submarine sonar system, which can improve the speed by 20-25% by imitating the dolphin's body shape, proportion of all parts of the body and this wonderful function. In addition, a new type of hydrophone has been designed

人们也可以利用动物猫爪的形状和结构,制造出一副特殊的带有“肉垫”和“钩子”的手套,当需要登山或攀爬时,把手套上的钩子按钮打开,使用它就不会掉下来;可以为双脚有残疾的人做成“鞋”,还可以把“鞋”装在假肢上,日常走路柔软舒适,不发出声音,也不影响别人;当残疾人走在冰、雪地里,利用“钩子”就不会摔倒,而且还可以爬山,比正常人更方便。

People can also make a special pair of gloves with "meat pad" and "hook" by using the shape and structure of animal cat's paw. When climbing or climbing, open the hook button on the glove, and it will not fall off; it can make "shoes" for people with disabled feet, and can also install "shoes" on artificial limbs. It is soft and comfortable to walk everyday without making any sound When the disabled walk in the ice and snow, they will not fall down by using the hook, and they can also climb mountains, which is more convenient than normal people.

我们应该多多地观察动物,从动物身上学到更多的知识,更好地为人类服务,使我们的生活更加方便、灵活、快捷、有效

We should observe more animals, learn more knowledge from animals, serve human better, and make our life more convenient, flexible, fast and effective
