They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home to many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife.

They mainly live on squids ( 鱿鱼 ) and fish, and they sometimes follow ships to eat rubbish. Besides, they may also dive ( 俯冲 ) into water to catch their “seafood”. One kind of albatross can dive as deep as 12.5 metres. Albatrosses spend most of their lives flying and can reach faraway places. They are also able to stay in air in windy weather for hours. Some large albatrosses have trouble keeping in air when there is no wind, and then they would rest on the water.Most albatrosses live in the Antarctic and the North Pacific, and you can find them in Shandong, Taiwan and other seaside provinces of China. They give birth to babies by laying eggs. The mother albatross lays one egg every two years. The egg is taken care of by the parents in turn.Albatrosses are popular sea birds but their population is small. They are the first-class protected birds in China.
