A Three animals are competing for the title of “Super Animal”. Read their introductions and complete the notes.
Let me introduce myself. I'm a camel, and I live in the desert. I'm called the “ship of the desert”. For most animals, the desert is a difficult place to live. But for me, it's easy! I can go for a long time without water. Why? Because I store fat in the hump on my back. My body turns this fat into energy whenever I need it. That's not all! My large feet help me walk on sand, and my long eyelashes protect my eyes from blowing sand.
I'm an Arctic tern. I'm a medium - sized seabird. When you look at me, you might think I'm a lot like other birds, but there's something very special about me. Every year, I make the longest journey of any animal on the planet! I start in the Arctic, travel all the way down to Antarctica and then fly back again. No other animal can travel so far. Who could be better than me?
I'm a starfish, but I'm not a fish. There's no other animal like me. I have the most beautiful shape: a star! I come in lovely colours, like orange and purple. But here's what makes me super: I can regrow lost body parts. If I lose one of my arms, I just grow it back! And guess what! I don't even have a brain! But I can still move, hunt and survive in the ocean.

答案：
A 三种动物正在角逐“超级动物”的称号。阅读它们的介绍并完成笔记。
让我来介绍一下自己。我是一只骆驼，生活在沙漠里。我被称为“沙漠之舟”。对大多数动物来说，沙漠是一个难以生存的地方。但对我来说，这很容易！我可以长时间不喝水。为什么呢？因为我在背上的驼峰里储存脂肪。每当我需要的时候，我的身体就会把这些脂肪转化为能量。这还不是全部！我的大脚帮助我在沙地上行走，我的长睫毛保护我的眼睛免受风沙的侵袭。
我是一只北极燕鸥。我是一种中等体型的海鸟。当你看我的时候，你可能会觉得我和其他鸟很像，但我有非常特别的地方。每年，我都会进行地球上所有动物中最长的迁徙！我从北极出发，一路飞到南极洲，然后再飞回来。没有其他动物能飞这么远。还有谁能比我更厉害呢？
我是一只海星，但我不是鱼。没有其他动物像我一样。我有着最美丽的形状：星星的形状！我有着可爱的颜色，比如橙色和紫色。但让我成为超级动物的是：我可以再生失去的身体部位。如果我失去了一条臂（腕足），我就会重新长出来！你猜怎么着！我甚至没有大脑！但我仍然可以在海洋中移动、捕猎和生存。
