Creature in Taiwan Video Reflection

1.How do Paiwan people show their respect to the animal they hunted?
They collect the jaw bones of the animals and hang them in their house.
2.Why archery is so important to Bunun people? How did fathers train their children to be an archer?
They hunted for food by archery, and that's important for Bunun people. The fathers trained their children by setting up an ear as the target and teach them to aim and to shoot the ear.
3.Why are bats welcomed by Ancient Chinese culture? But in western societies, why do people regard bats as nuisance?
In Ancient Chinese culture they bring good luck and chase away evil spirits. They are annoying and because they only live at black spots which they think it's not good.
4.This video shows a lot of living extinct animals in Taiwan. Please choose one animal that impressed you the most and describe its habitat and its way to survive in the natural environment?
Pangolin is the one that impressed me the most. They can attack the ants' house even with lots of ants crawling on it. I won't want to touch it when I see lots of ants crawling all over.

Hi Gene,
Pangolin are not mean to attack ants. Those are their food which they need to survive in a natural environment. So next time when you see pangolin attacking an ant's house, try to think in this way.
