Read the text. Choose all the correct statements about the koala. The koala is not a large animal. It has a big head, large round ears, big dark eyes, a black nose, and sharp claws. The koala has no tail. Koala’s coat is grey or brown. The fur is very thick which protects them from hot and cold weather, rain, and wind. Koalas are very slow animals. These unusual animals live only in Australia and on some of the nearby islands. Koalas live on the eucalyptus trees. They eat the eucalyptus leaves and practically never eat anything else. In fact, they eat only fresh, new leaves and that is why one animal needs several trees to keep it healthy and alive. Each koala normally has its trees which other koalas do not visit. The animals drink very little water. In fact, in native Australian languages, the word "koala" means "no water". Koalas are not endangered animals anymore. But we should be very careful with the eucalyptus forests and not cut down the trees.

Read the text. Choose all the correct statements about the Kamchatka brown bear. Kamchatka is a land of volcanoes, forests and lakes. It is also home to thousands of Kamchatka brown bears. The Kamchatka brown bear is very big. It can weigh 400 kg. When it stands up, it can be 2.50 m tall. It is very strong, with big teeth and long, sharp claws. These big animals are usually very peaceful – unlike Siberian bears. For most of the year, they live in thick forests and eat berries, nuts and roots. In the summer months, millions of salmon swim up Kamchatka's rivers from the sea. These fish are the bears' favourite food. Bears travel hundreds of kilometres to live next to the rivers and catch the salmon. Bears are very good swimmers, and their thick fur keeps them warm in the ice-cold water. When summer finishes, the bears go back to the forest. There they make a warm den where they can spend the winter.
