We all know that sleep is an important and necessary part of our lives. But do you know sleep is also very important to animals? And animals have different ways to sleep.

Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look forward far into the sea while they sleep. Sea otters (水獭) sometimes sleep in beds of the plants in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish (鹦嘴鱼) blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them.

Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.

Above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe. Some insects (昆虫) even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to sleep. The next morning, it is rested and ready for work.

7 . What do you call your mother’s mother? Whether you say laolao or waipo depends on your dialect (方言). Animals have different dialects, too. Scientists spent six years studying sperm whales (抹香鲸) in the Caribbean. They found that the animals communicate through special noises in their group. This noise has never been found in other places. According to National Geographic, the howls (嗥叫) of different kinds of wolves are different. In other words, they have their own dialects.

So how do animals develop their own dialects? According to Darcy Kelley from Columbia University, most animals learn their dialects naturally. For example, monkeys start speaking their dialect as soon as they are born. Scientists placed some monkeys in a new environment where their playmates all spoke a different dialect. But the monkeys still spoke their own dialect. Their environment had no influence on their communication.

However, some animals can change their accent (口音). Birds who live in cities develop different accent from those in the countryside. To deal with loud city noise, city birds voices are much higher because they are easier to hear in noisy places.

So can animals learn a new dialect from others? A proper accent is important to finding friends and warning the coming of enemies, which is the basis of living. The animal can’t risk changing their own dialect and learning a new one.

9 . Goldfish are good pets. They are funny to watch. But they need the right home. They are not happy if they are living in a bowl. A tank is bigger. It can hold more water and it has more room for goldfish to swim. So a tank is a good place for goldfish. Here are some ways for keeping goldfish in a tank.

Put a tank at home. Do not put it near the window. It could get too warm from the sun. Fill the tank. Put some water in the tank. Wait a few days, check the water and make sure the water is clean. Then put some rocks and plants on the tank bottom for fish to hide behind them.

Get your fish. Bring it home in a bag. The bag must be full of water. Let the bag float in the tank. Wait half an hour. Then open the bag. Let the fish swim out.

Look after the goldfish. First put a cover on the tank. It can keep fish safe. With a cover, nothing can fall into the tank and fish cannot jump out. Do not feed your fish too much! A fish should eat most of   its food right away.

Clean the tank each week. To keep the water clean, you must take out old water and add new water.

Your fish will be happy to live in a tank.
