The Ant And The Grasshopper

the ant, “and recommend you to do the same.”
“Why bother about winter?” said the grasshopper;
we have got plenty of food at present.”

Bananas belong to the genus Musa (family of Musaceae).

The primary purpose of banana
cultivation is for the fruit, while
some other purposes include
fiber production in textile
industries and ornamental use.
Bananas have a wide range of
colors such as green, red, and brown, with some seeds
in the flesh. Nowadays, people mostly consume sterile
yellow bananas because they do not have any seeds.
They are cross-bred between green and red bananas. As
proven in studies, bananas are good for health since
they contain lots of nutritional benefits such as
potassium, fiber, and vitamins. Interestingly, bananas
can also be cooked before eating. They can also be made
into banana flour. Bananas have become an African

Chepalopacus Bancanus Saltatore is a scientific name for

Horsfield’s Tarsiers, which live in Belitung. The locals call
these animals Pelile’an.
Tarsiers are small
animals. It is said that
tarsiers are the tiniest
primate in the world, due
to their less than 150
grams’ weight. Tarsiers
have many distinctive appearances with long tails which
are longer than the entire body and big eyes that seem
disproportionate to the little heads. Like every animal
which has a tail, tarsiers’ tails also function to maintain
balance. Tarsiers’ hair has a unique shade which is
between grayish-brown to reddish-brown. They also
have long hind legs that help them move from one tree
to another. Their long legs are probably due to the
elongation of bones in an area called tarsus, located
around the foot. This is how they get their name.
Tarsiers are carnivores, and their favorite food is
insects. Their big eyes help them scout for their prey, by
rotating a complete 180 degrees.
 Tarsiers are nocturnal animals, and like dogs, they
mark their territory with their urine. Not only that, they
are also just like bats. They communicate using
ultrasonic waves. Tarsiers do not move in a pack,
because they are solitary animals, but interestingly, just
like wolves, tarsiers mate for life.
Sadly, right now there are not many tarsiers left in
Belitung. Their population is declining because they are
losing their habitat. There are many reasons for the
habitat loss, but the main reason is because of humans
who cut down the forest for palm oil plantations. Besides
that, humans also destroy tarsiers’ homes for mining.

33. Which one is TRUE about the Horsfield’s Tarsiers

A. Tarsiers’ population is decreasing

The orangutan
comes from the
family of apes and
lives in Southeast
Asia. In the local
language, the
name “orangutan” means ‘the man of the jungle’.
Orangutans usually live in the northern corner of
Sumatra and in Borneo.
An orangutan has long arms, with hook-shaped
hands to help them swing from tree to another by
grabbing vines and branches. They rarely explore the
ground, but when they do, they walk on all fours.
Orangutans have a distinctive appearance. Their
bodies are covered with long, rough, reddish-brown fur.
Male orangutans are usually 95 cm in height and 77 kg
in weight, while female orangutans are only 78 cm in
height and 37 kg in weight. To differentiate between
male orangutans and female orangutans, the males have
puffy cheeks and a dangling throat-pouch which
functions as air sack. The air sack helps produce a
bubbling call and groaning, that can be heard from
around 1 km away.
Orangutans usually eat fruits, but sometimes
they also eat eggs, termites, the soft part of inner barks,
and young leaves. Orangutans accumulate fat in order to
survive the monsoon season, which lasts from April to
October, when food is scarce.
Orangutans are solitary animals. They usually
travel and find food independently. However, the
females will seek the males when they are ready to
mate. They will stay together for a few days until the
female orangutan is pregnant. After that, they will go on
their way again independently. The pregnancy time of
 orangutans is similar to humans, which is nine months. A
female orangutan gives birth to one baby every four or
eight years.
The orangutan is one of the animals that humans
like to hunt. Even though it is illegal to own, kill, and
export orangutans, people keep poaching them. Not only
that, humans also destroy orangutans’ home, the forest,
for logging or palm oil plantation. In 1997 and 1998,
there was a massive forest fire. Because of that forest
fire, thousands of orangutans died. Not only orangutans,
but other animals that lived in that forest also suffered
and lost their homes.

Orangutans are solitary animals. They usually
travel and find food independently. However, the
females will seek the males when they are ready to
mate. They will stay together for a few days until the
female orangutan is pregnant. After that, they will go on
their way again independently. The pregnancy time of
orangutans is similar to humans, which is nine months. A
female orangutan gives birth to one baby every four or
eight years.
The orangutan is one of the animals that humans
like to hunt. Even though it is illegal to own, kill, and
export orangutans, people keep poaching them. Not only
that, humans also destroy orangutans’ home, the forest,
for logging or palm oil plantation. In 1997 and 1998,
there was a massive forest fire. Because of that forest
fire, thousands of orangutans died. Not only orangutans,
but other animals that lived in that forest also suffered
and lost their homes.
