The country of Zambia, in Africa, is home to many important wild animals. There are laws that protect these animals. Sadly, people still hunt them. So, the government brought in dogs to help in the fight against illegal hunting. The dogs can find traps before they catch wild animals. The dogs also aid wildlife officials in finding and catching the hunters. The dogs' work has saved thousands of wild animals.

In some ways, amphibians and reptiles are alike. They are both cold-blooded, meaning they can't control how hot or cold they are. But there are important differences between them. Reptile skin feels hard or bony, while amphibian skin is softer. Also, amphibian eggs usually hatch in the water. Frogs, for instance, are amphibians that start out as swimming tadpoles. Snakes, on the other hand, are reptiles. Most reptiles spend their whole lives on land.

You'd think that making a frozen pizza would be as easy as rolling out a pizza and freezing it. It's actually pretty complicated. There are many challenges in creating a good frozen pizza. The sauce may combine with the dough and the crust, becoming rigid after the pizza is frozen and reheated. To prevent this, food scientists use a layer of modified cornstarch as a moisture barrier between the sauce and the crust. This keeps the crust from absorbing the sauce. Also, the pizza is partially baked to keep the dough from becoming too rigid after it is frozen and reheated. Will wonders ever cease?

Description
Simply describe something. With few exceptions, these texts also present plenty of details about what they're describing.
Most people have had red pizza, or pizza covered with red sauce, but have you ever had white pizza? White pizza is made in almost the same way as red pizza. They both consist of toppings on baked dough. The key difference is that white pizza does not have any tomato sauce on it. White pizzas may have olive oil on top of the dough or no sauce at all. I like white pizza more than red pizza because you can really taste the ingredients. The red sauce on pizza can be dominating. If you have not had a white pizza, I recommend that you order or make one today.
