38、try of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways.

They have shorter tusks （象牙） ， and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert clephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families, They drin
40、k only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed.

45、s.CAlmost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesnt mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias (恐惧症) much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be phys
