When seven-year-old Sky Nockels learned that black rhinoceroses(犀牛)were an endangered species，he decided to do something to help them. He raised money to adopt a black rhino named Imara at the Great Plains Zoo in South Dakota.By adopting Imara，Sky helps the zoo take care of the rhino's needs，such as food and a good habitat.

Sky has been a summer camp member at the Great Plains Zoo since he was three. There he and other kids learnt about the animals and did projects for them. “We made juice drinks for the bears, ” says Sky. “They enjoyed them.” Another time，he made holes in cardboard tubes and filled them with vegetables for the monkeys. The monkeys had fun plucking(揪、拽、拉)their food from the tubes.

Now that Sky is older, he is playing an even more active role in the care of the animals. Since black rhinos are one of Sky's favorite animals，he decided to adopt Imara first. “I adopted a Grevy's zebra named Demani，too，for my little brother Alexander, ” he says.

Sky raised money to help care for the animals he wanted to adopt. He promised to raise $75 for his rhino and $25 for Alexander's zebra.To earn the money, Sky and his

grandfather planted a vegetable garden. Sky planted seeds(种子)，watered，and weeded(除草). When the time came，he harvested the vegetables and sold them at a stand in front of his parents' store.

When Sky's friends heard about the stand，they brought vegetables from their parents' gardens to sell，too. With the help of his friends，he earned enough money to honor his promises.

Sky is one of the youngest people to adopt an animal at the Great Plains Zoo. He cares about the animals and plans to plant and sell vegetables again this summer to help them. “I hope other children do something to help animals，too，” he says.
