A completely white baby kangaroo was born to a couple of red kangaroos at a zoo in Buenos Aires. The albino kangaroo is a big hit with visitors. They walk past where the kangaroos live to get a look at the young kangaroo in its mother's pouch.
The pair of red kangaroos arrived at the zoo in July 2004. They gave birth to the white kangaroo and to another with gray fur.
People who work at the zoo say the kangaroos have adapted very well to their new home. Argentina has a climate similar to Australia's, and the kangaroos' pen was specially designed. So the kangaroos feel comfortable.
Baby kangaroos spend about 30 days inside their mothers. Afterwards they spend seven to 10 months in their mother's pouch. The amount of time they spend outside their mother's pouch gradually increases until they're fully independent.

阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯動物園裡的一對紅袋鼠產下一隻全白的小袋鼠。這隻白化的小袋鼠吸引了很多遊客前往觀賞。他們通過袋鼠區,去看這隻在袋鼠媽媽育兒袋裡的小袋鼠。
這一對紅袋鼠在二○○四年七月被送到這個動物園。牠們產下了一隻白化小袋鼠和一隻灰毛的小袋鼠。
動物園工作人員表示,這對紅袋鼠對新環境適應良好。因為阿根廷的氣候和澳洲相似,袋鼠的欄舍也是經過特別設計,所以牠們感到很舒適。
小袋鼠會在母體內待將近三十天,然後在媽媽的育兒袋裡待七到十個月。牠們待在媽媽育兒袋外的時間會慢慢地增加,直到牠們能夠完全獨立生活。

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
Dog owners often wish they could understand their pets’ thoughts. “Dog buttons” might turn their dream into a reality. These specially designed buttons, __1__ sound chips, enable dogs to communicate their needs by pressing buttons corresponding to pre-recorded words like “walk,” “play,” “outside,” and “food.” This bridges the communication __2__ between humans and their canine companions. The science behind dog buttons is based on the concept of associative learning. It’s a process __3__ learners can link actions with outcomes. For instance, if an owner consistently presses the “walk” button and then takes their dog for a walk, the dog
