The Elephant and the Rope

I coccodrilli e gli alligatori si assomigliano. Hanno entrambi fauci enormi con denti aguzzi e una lunga coda. Il loro corpo è coperto di squame irregolari. Gli alligatori hanno il muso largo, arrotondato e a forma di U.
Di solito sono di colore scuro. Il muso è la parte sporgente della testa di un animale, comprendente naso e bocca. I coccodrilli hanno il muso più sottile. Inoltre sono di colore più chiaro rispetto agli alligatori. Alligatori e coccodrilli sono diversi, ma sono entrambi rettili. Il corpo di un rettile può avere le squame o le placche ossee. Serpenti e lucertole sono rettili con le squame. Gli alligatore e i coccodrilli, invece, hanno le placche ossee, chiamate “scuti“. Sia le squame, che gli scudi proteggono il corpo del rettile. 
Alligatori e coccodrilli appartengono all’ordine dei Crocodylia e sono detti anche “LORICATI“. 
Ne esistono 25 specie diverse. Di solito vivono nelle zone calde di tutto il mondo. I loricati non si allontanano mai dall’acqua. Trascorrono molto tempo immersi in pozze, laghi, paludi, acquitrini, fiumi e pantani. Tutti i loricati hanno sensi molto sviluppati. Vista, olfatto e udito sono migliori rispetto a quelli di altri rettili. Al buio vedono meglio di noi. Anche la loro pelle è molto particolare: riescono a percepire i movimenti degli animali, così nell’acqua fangosa  individuano facilmente la preda.

Episode 34. 寝坊（ねぼう）

Disc Golf 
Transcript by italki teacher Carl.
Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about a new sport. This sport is growing, and it is very similar to golf. However, this is disc golf. So disc golf is like golf, except for you use a disc and instead of holes there are baskets and you will see the baskets with these chains hanging down and with a kind of a bucket thing.

And you throw the disc or the Frisbee into the chains. And then that counts  like putting the ball into a hole in golf. So the sport is great because there are a lot of free courses that you can play disc golf or Frisbee golf in. And just like golf, there are usually nine or 18 holes or baskets.

And the goal is to throw the disc, the Frisbee into the basket with as few throws as possible. So, for example, like in golf, you might have a course that is like par, par three. It takes three shots to get it into the hole So the same thing with disc golf, you have a par three course or par four.

So you're trying to get the disc into the basket in three throws or less. Now, some of the challenges with the disc golf courses are trees or obstacles. So sometimes the course will have a tree in the way and you'll have to throw the disc in a way that the disc curves around and goes around the tree so that you can get a clear look at the basket. Another interesting thing is that the discs are made of plastic according to Wikipedia.

Here it says that the discs are made of polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic polymer resin. So it's a very dense plastic And they're smaller in size than a Frisbee that you think of. Like from when I was a kid, I remember the Frisbees were quite large. But these Frisbees are small and there are different Frisbees for different throws.
