<正>When you see a panda at the zoo,it stands out against the green bamboo that it eats all day.But that setting is misleading2.In the wild,the panda’s black-andwhite patches3 help it to blend in with its background.That keeps the animal camouflaged4 against tigers,leopards and so on.当你在动物园看到一只熊猫时,它会在整天吃的绿色竹子的衬托下格外显眼。但这种场景是有误导性的。在野外,熊猫的黑白色斑纹帮助它与背景融为一体。这使得这种动物能够伪装起来抵御老虎、豹子等。
