Some questions from the same exam
- An American photographer has documented years of observing the wildebeests, who take the same amazing ....... journey each*^*year during migration to search for food, traveling thousands of miles in a loop around the Serengeti National Park each year.
- These horned and ungainly animals, seem to communicate with each other about weather conditions before setting off on their*^*hazardous and ....... journey. If a few clouds are observed, the herd starts milling about, as if discussing how soon to begin the trip.
- The population of these animals, also known as gnus, is close to 1.5 million, the ....... number making the search for food critical to*^*their survival. There are no "handouts" from the park staff, believing it more important for the animals to use their innate behavior to*^*forage, no matter how far they must travel.
- The wildebeests face ....... perils when jumping off cliffs, traversing heavy currents in the Mara River and avoiding crocodiles waiting*^*to attack them, a seemingly necessary challenge to reach their destination.
- The ground shakes like a California earthquake as the wildebeests move in mass in the 10,000 square miles of national parks and*^*....... areas in Kenya and Tanzania, the difference being this "earthquake" can last for hours rather than minutes.
- Unfortunately, thousands of the animals face the ....... of broken legs, drowning, or becoming prey to stalking predators, lions,*^*cheetahs, hyenas who look for the weakest animal in the herd.
- The wildebeest must cross the Mara River to reach their destination, ....... nervously on the shore before attempting the ardous task*^*of crossing swift currents. Then as if receiving a flaggers's signal, they suddenly begin the exodus, with none staying behind on the*^*shore.
- Conservationists are greatly concerned that the ....... of humans and deforestation could quickly decimate the large numbers of*^*Wildebeests. Still others argue that there is no comprehenisible reason for concern, as the females continue to be prolific breeders,*^*producing an abundance of calves every season.
- Still, scientists continue to state that the herds are diminishing at a worrisome rate due to ....... and deforestation, which was*^*responsible for the change in the wildebeest population by twenty per cent in the last ten years.
- Biologists have stated that in the future, the wildebeest herds may also be affected by the natural ....... of climate change, resulting*^*in more seasonal droughts and flooding. However, they are optomistic that these awkward, horned animals will adapt to changing*^*conditions, just as other species have done to ensure their survival.*^*
