Elephants, tigers and many o__1__ animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the animals began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and r__2__ pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed fire to keep t__3__ warm in winter, to cook their food and to drive away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly d___4__because there was not enough food for them. So did most of the wolves and tigers.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong e__5__ in the zoos, but there are still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most lovely of Hong Kong’s animals is the barking deer. There are beautiful little animals w__6__ a rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet high. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only one r__7__enemy- men.
