Leopards(豹) live in many parts of the world, from Siberia to Africa. They have a very beautiful yellow skin with large black spots. They live for about 15 years and eat small mammals such as zebras, monkeys, and antelopes(羚羊). They sleep for about 12 hours a day. Leopards are very solitary(独处的) animals. They don't like to live with others. They spend most of their time by themselves in trees, where they wait until a small animal passes. They jump on the animal and then drag it up into the tree, where they eat it. Like many animals, leopards are disappearing because people hunt them. They kill them for their beautiful coats. The Sinai leopard, for example, from Egypt, is now probably extinct(绝种的).

Dear Sir/Madam，
I am a student from Sunshine Middle School and I am a wildlife enthusiast. I am writing to apply for membership in the Wildlife Conservation Society.
I love nature and animals. To protect them，I participate in tree planting activities，volunteer at local animal shelters，and promote wildlife protection through social media and public events. I plan to organize educational activities at schools and communities to raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation. By doing so，I hope to inspire more people to join us to protect animals.
Thank you for considering my application.
