video reflection

1.How do Paiwan people show their respect to the animal they hunted?

They put the animal's teeth on their hats.

2.Why archery is so important to Bunun people? How did fathers train their children to be an archer?

Shoot animal's ears for training archery.

3.Why are bats welcomed by Ancient Chinese culture? But in western societies, why do people regard bats as nuisance?

In Chinese culture they think bats bring them good luck. Western culture think bats are evil.

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?

I think the tree frogs are impressive. The male stays in a cut off bamboo pool of water and make noise to attract the female to come. Then the female will come and lay eggs in the bamboo, father takes care of the eggs and the female leaves. After 2 weeks the female comes back and lay eggs for the babies to eat.
