All the other animals must be jealous of their new red friend.
Mao Mi is a red panda. He just moved from Michigan’s Binder Park Zoo to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Zoo. He’s getting more attention than any other animal at his new home.
Mao Mi is part of a Wildlife Conservation Society breeding program. The program is trying to help threatened and endangered species. Red pandas are endangered.

動物園其他的動物一定很忌妒牠們新來的紅朋友。
這隻名叫「貓咪」的雄性小熊貓，剛剛從密西根州的賓德公園動物園搬到紐約布魯克林的展望公園動物園。牠一搬到新家，就奪走了其他動物的風采。
「貓咪」是野生動物保育協會飼養計畫中的成員，該計畫是要幫助受到威脅以及瀕臨絕種的物種，而小熊貓正瀕臨絕種。
「貓咪」的四肢是黑色的，毛茸茸的臉和身體是紅棕色的，耳朵是白色的，看起來很像一隻浣熊。
小熊貓的個性很溫馴，大部分時間都在睡覺。在南亞野生地區可以發現牠們的蹤影，牠們棲息於山上的樹林中。
展望公園動物園管理員說，這隻逗人喜愛的小熊貓很貪玩，喜歡爬樹和探索牠的新家。 （美聯社�翻譯：楊鴻泰）

According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door
