Animals in Antarctica
There are no land animals that actually live in Antarctica！However，the surrounding oceans are rich in living creatures！It’s just too cold to support very many life forms！Now let’s meet some of the Antarctica’s animals. Weddell Seal
They are the southernmost pinniped(鳍足类的)in the world. Males are generally smaller than females. Interestingly，a newborn pup has a coat of long hair，which they will shed(脱落) within the first month as the protective layer of their body is developed. Blue Whale
Named for its blue?gray color，this huge animal may grow to be roughly 100 feet long and weigh more than 120 tons！A blue whale eats about 4 tons of krill(磷虾)per day during the feeding season！This means that about 40 million krill are eaten every day for six months by a blue whale！The tongue of the blue whale can be as big as a Volkswagen！The blue whale is the loudest animal on earth! Rockhopper Penguins
One of the more beautiful penguins，the Rockhopper shake their heads and cause their yellow eyebrows to fly into a “halo”in order to attract a mate! Wandering Albatross
This species of albatross wanders the oceans for months at a time searching for food. It sleeps on the ocean surface at night and drinks sea water.The Wandering Albatross is the largest bird in the world in terms of wing span—11 feet! Ross Seal
Ross Seals are very rarely seen because they live deep within the pack?ice. It is believed that Ross Seals feed mainly on squid，fish and krill. They were named after the British polar explorer Sir James Ross，who first discovered them in 1840. Emperor Penguin
Emperor Penguins are the biggest of the 17 penguin species. They are flightless birds. They are the only living species to reproduce during the harsh Antarctic winter. Without a nest，the father Emperor Penguin keeps the egg warm by holding it on his feet for 2－3 months until spring，during which the father doesn’t eat anything and he just eats a little snow for moisture.

Wu Lien Teh was born in 1879. At the age of 17, he went to England to study medicine at the University of Cambridge. In 1907 Dr. Wu accepted an invitation from the Qing government to work for an army medical college in Tianjin.
In October 1910, an unknown illness appeared in the city of Manzhouli, on the Russian and Chinese border. The disease swiftly spread along the rail lines in Manchuria and reached the cities of Harbin and Changchun, killing 99.9% of its victims in just a few short weeks. As many of the railways were under the control of Russia and Japan, it became an international incident. The Japanese government offered to send experts to manage the growing disease, but the Qing government worried that aid from Japan would only serve to further Japanese ambitions in this area. Therefore, the government turned to Wu, requesting he travel from Tianjin to Harbin and investigate.
When Dr. Wu arrived in Harbin on Christmas Eve, 1910, he carried only a few medical instruments and had only one assistant. One of Wu’s first acts was to order an autopsy（验尸）on a recent victim. There had been a long-standing taboo（禁忌）in China against such examinations. Wu insisted and found evidence of Yersinia Pestis （鼠疫杆菌）. He then set up isolation area and ordered lockdown to stop victims from traveling and spreading the disease. He also had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince Russian and Japanese governments to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Dr. Wu even requested the local government to burn the bodies of victims. Over 3000 bodies were burned on Chinese New Year, January 30, 1911. Thanks to Dr. Wu’s efforts, the number of victims began to decrease, and by March 1, 1911, the disease was fully contained. The plague（传染病）lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and caused over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the actions taken by Dr. Wu it could have been much worse. Had the plague gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread to the rest of China, it could have meant a huge loss of life and a global health crisis. For a time, Dr. Wu was the most famous Chinese plague fighter in the world.
