AJB Class 7 English - Lesson 13: Revision Test 3

Did You Know? (কিবা জানানে?)

The Okapi, despite having stripes like a zebra, is actually the only living relative of the giraffe! It uses its incredibly long, black tongue to strip leaves from branches, and its tongue is so long it can even wash its own eyelids and ears!

Sheep have excellent vision.
ভেড়াবোৰৰ দৃষ্টিশক্তি বৰ ভাল।

They can even see what is behind them without turning their heads.
সিহঁতে আনকি মূৰ ঘূৰোৱাকৈও নিজৰ পিছফালে কি আছে সেয়া দেখা পায়।

They also have a good sense of smell and hearing.
সিহঁতৰ ঘ্ৰাণ আৰু শ্ৰৱণ শক্তিও ভাল।

They do not like noise and darkness.
সিহঁতে হুলস্থুল আৰু আন্ধাৰ ভাল নাপায়।

They graze on grass from dawn to dusk.
সিহঁতে ৰাতিপুৱাৰ পৰা গধূলিলৈকে ঘাঁহ খায়।

They regurgitate the grass and 'chew the cud', to digest it properly.
সিহঁতে ঘাঁহবোৰ পুনৰ মুখলৈ আনি 'পাগোলে' (chew the cud) যাতে ইয়াক ভালদৰে হজম কৰিব পাৰে।

Lambs do not require much parental care from a young age and are quite independent.
ভেড়া পোৱালিবোৰক সৰুৰে পৰা বেছি পিতৃ-মাতৃৰ যতনৰ প্ৰয়োজন নহয় আৰু সিহঁত যথেষ্ট স্বাধীন।

Sheep are social animals.
ভেড়া সমাজপ্ৰিয় প্ৰাণী।

They live in herds, and get very stressed when they are alone.
সিহঁতে জাক পাতি থাকে, আৰু অকলশৰে থাকিলে বৰ মানসিক চাপ অনুভৱ কৰে।

They willingly follow the flock leader to new pastures.
সিহঁতে নিজ ইচ্ছাৰে জাকৰ দলপতিক নতুন চৰণীয়া পথাৰলৈ অনুসৰণ কৰে।

Their habit of sticking close to the others in a flock helps them to stay protected from predators such as big cats, dogs, bears and eagles.
জাকৰ আনবোৰৰ লগত লাগি থকাৰ স্বভাৱে সিহঁতক ডাঙৰ মেকুৰী, কুকুৰ, ভালুক আৰু ঈগলৰ দৰে চিকাৰীৰ পৰা সুৰক্ষিত হৈ থকাত সহায় কৰে।

When attacked, they choose to flee, usually to higher slopes.
আক্ৰমণৰ বলি হ'লে, সিহঁতে সাধাৰণতে ওখ ঢাললৈ পলাই যোৱাটো বাছি লয়।

They can also defend themselves by butting the opponent with their horns.
সিহঁতে নিজৰ শিঙেৰে শত্ৰুক খুন্দা মাৰি নিজকে ৰক্ষা কৰিব পাৰে।

They bleat when alone, snort when aggressive, and generally go quiet when very frightened, and each individual sheep has a distincive bleat.
অকলশৰে থাকিলে সিহঁতে বেবাই, আক্ৰমণাত্মক হ'লে নাকৰ শব্দ কৰে, আৰু বৰ ভয় খালে সাধাৰণতে নীৰৱ হৈ পৰে, আৰু প্ৰতিটো ভেড়াৰ মাত বেলেগ বেলেগ হয়।

What is striped like a zebra and looks like a horse ?... Yes, it's the Okapi.
জেব্ৰাৰ দৰে আঁচ থকা আৰু ঘোঁৰাৰ দৰে দেখা পোৱা প্ৰাণীটো কি? ... হয়, এইটো হ'ল অ'কাপি (Okapi)।

It resembles a hybrid zebra-cum-horse.
ইয়াক এটা বৰ্ণসংকৰ জেব্ৰা-আৰু-ঘোঁৰাৰ দৰে দেখা যায়।

But actually it is a close cousin of the giraffe.
কিন্তু প্ৰকৃততে ই জিৰাফৰ এক ওচৰৰ সম্পৰ্কীয় প্ৰাণী।

These mamals live a secretive life in the thick equatirial rainforest of the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa, especially in the Ituri forest.
এই স্তন্যপায়ী প্ৰাণীবোৰে মধ্য আফ্ৰিকাৰ ডেমক্ৰেটিক ৰিপাব্লিক অৱ কংগোৰ গভীৰ নিৰক্ষীয় বৰ্ষাৰণ্যত, বিশেষকৈ ইটুৰি অৰণ্যত এক গোপন জীৱন নিৰ্বাহ কৰে।

The okapi's chocolate brown, velvet coat; black, whitish-grey or tan cheeks, throat and chest; and black-and white striped stockinged legs afford it a perfect camouflage in the dim light of the dense forest.
অ'কাপিৰ চকোলেটৰ দৰে মুগা, মখমলৰ ছাল; ক'লা, বগা-ছাঁই ৰঙৰ বা পাতল মুগা গাল, ডিঙি আৰু বুকু; আৰু ক'লা-বগা আঁচ থকা মোজা পিন্ধা যেন লগা ভৰিয়ে ইয়াক গভীৰ অৰণ্যৰ ম্লান পোহৰত এক নিখুঁত ছদ্মৱেশ প্ৰদান কৰে।

The okapi has large ears and a rather long neck and large hoofs.
অ'কাপিৰ কাণ ডাঙৰ আৰু ডিঙিটো যথেষ্ট দীঘল আৰু খুৰাবোৰ ডাঙৰ।

But it is distinctive not only because of its unusual coat, but also because of its unusually long black tongue.
কিন্তু ই কেৱল ইয়াৰ অসাধাৰণ ছালৰ বাবেই নহয়, বৰঞ্চ ইয়াৰ অসাধাৰণভাৱে দীঘল ক'লা জিভাৰ বাবেও সুকীয়া।

Okapis feed on leaves, buds and shoots of more than 100 different species of forest plants.
অ'কাপিয়ে ১০০ বিধতকৈও অধিক বিভিন্ন প্ৰজাতিৰ বন্য উদ্ভিদৰ পাত, কলি আৰু গছৰ আগ খায়।

The male can be identified because it has horns called 'ossicones' that grow up to around 15 cm.
মতাটোক চিনাক্ত কৰিব পাৰি কাৰণ ইয়াৰ 'অচিকন' (ossicones) নামৰ শিং থাকে যি প্ৰায় ১৫ চেণ্টিমিটাৰলৈকে গজে।

These horns are absent in the females, which can be spotted by reddish coat and their height.
মাইকী অ'কাপিৰ এই শিংবোৰ নাথাকে, যাক সিহঁতৰ ৰঙচুৱা ছাল আৰু উচ্চতাৰ দ্বাৰা চিনাক্ত কৰিব পাৰি।

They are usually somewhat taller than the males.
সিহঁত সাধাৰণতে মতাটোকৈ কিছু ওখ হয়।
