　　Modern zoos are different from old zoos of fifty years ago．In old zoos people could see animals from many parts of the world．The animals lived in cages．The zoo keepers(飼養(yǎng)員)took good care of them, but many of the animals did not feel well, and they often fell ill．

　　In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions(自然條件)．The animals are free in larger places．Trees and grass grow in cages and water runs through the places．There is often a deep pool filled with water in it．In an American zoo, visitors can see some small animals and many birds when they walk through a big special cage, and it is large enough for the birds to live naturally．

　　Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors, but also keep and save rare(稀罕的)animals．For this reason, people in the future will still be able to enjoy watching these animals．

　　Strange, but the green sea turtle(小海龜)is not that green．It’s certainly not as green as a tree．In fact, its shell(殼)is nearly black or brown．The largest hard-shelled sea turtle is between 200 and 300 pounds heavy and a shell is between 36 and 43 inches(英尺)long．But its head is smaller than other turtles．

　　Little baby green sea turtles are only two inches long．As the turtle grows up, its shell keeps mostly black while the body turns orange or brown．Young turtles like living in the sea, especially in areas with lots of sea grasses．

　　Green sea turtle, like all sea turtles, are very different from land or river turtles．All sea turtles can swim through the water faster．Instead of feet for walking, sea turtles have flippers(鰭狀肢)which are better for swimming．The flippers aren’t much good on land, however, and walking is hard for a sea turtle because they are usually big and heavy．

　　Another interesting thing about a sea turtle’s flippers is that they cannot be pulled into their shells．Land turtles can pull their feet into their shells for protection, but a sea turtle can’t．
