A

In the UK , anyone caught with a wild bird’s egg can be sent to prison for six months . But in Russia , since 2012 , scientists have been taking the eggs from the nests of spoon-billed sandpipers （勺嘴鹬）. It is entirely legal . The scientists are raising the stolen chicks themselves , so the young birds have a hetter chance of being alive . Once they are large enough to live on their own , they are released into the wild . It is a desperate（孤注一掷的）method of protecting them . But the birds’situation is equally desperate .

There are only about 200 breeding pairs（繁殖配偶）left in the wild . The population has fallen rapidly over the last few years . Their problem doesn’t lie in their breeding habitats in Russia , but in the Chinese and South Korean shores of the Yellow Sea . The birds ’ habitats there have been almost swept away . Hunting is also a problem . They are too small to be useful for hunters , but they are caught in the nests set for larger species .

Each year , the team takes all the eggs from eight nests . If the eggs are stolen early enough in the season , the parents will lay new eggs . Taking eggs from them is risky . However , two parts of the birds’ biology suggest it might work . First , the chicks can feed themselves as soon as they have dried out . Within an hour , they start walking on their legs in search of food . Second , the young birds also know when to move to another place and where to go .

In 2014 , the first group of the birds returned . In 2015 , several returnees paired up with wild birds to breed . It’s too early to say if the 2017 returnees will breed successfully , but there is no particular reason to think they will not . However , the team is clear that raising birds by humans alone is not going to save them from extinction . In fact , the species can’t live in the wild unless the problems of habitat destruction（毁灭）can be solved .

Many years ago , dogs and wolves were the same . But about 14,000 years ago , some wolves began to change . They were no longer as wild . No one knows exactly how this happened . Angus Phillips of National Geographic Magazine thinks it may have happened like this :

“Some wolves moved close to human cooking fires after smelling some-thing good to eat . Then they worked to get closer to groups of humans . They did this by being helpful or prooving they would not hurt people . The humans might have used the wolves’ better hunting skills to help them hunt animals . The wolves could warn humans of danger at night . ”“ Over thousands of years , humans kept the large , rough wolves out of the human camps . This led to the development of different kinds of dogs that were more friendly to people . They began to look different than wolves . They were generally smaller than wolves , with a shorter nose . ”

Through the late 19th century , humans would raise dogs for special skills they wanted , such as hunting helping with the work on farms or protecting animals .

Today , the most common use of a dog is for friendship . Some people even consider their dog to be a part of their family . Scientists are finding that dogs can even understand human emotions .

Around the world today there are more than 400 million dogs . But their relationship with people is not always close . Some of these dogs become strays . They live on the streets and often eat garbage . Diana Bharucha , from Bangalore , India , started a program called ‘Stray Dogs Free Bangalore . ’ She says that dogs should have a home with a human master . Diana told the news-magazine Citizens Matters : “ If the dog population continues to increase , they will go back to living in a group and turn wild . They will start hunting like wild animals which will be a danger for human life . ”

Humans are still learning how to live together with dogs . This relationship can be wonderful but difficult . But people will continue to share their lives with man’s best friend :the dog .

B. the wolves ’ great hunting skills .
