Same problem here, didn't accept my "They are last animals and last trees" answer. Not having "the" here should be fine.

It probably did not accept it because ""They are last animals and last trees" is incorrect English/wrong English grammar.
It needs to be ""They are the last animals and the last trees".
Or at least have one "the' as in "They are the last animals and last trees." Although when using only one "the" it really would be better, more correct, to leave out the second "last" as well, as in "They are the last animals and trees"
The meaning is slightly different in between the two sentences so Duo may require two "the".
Thanks for your comment. We do not require the second "the," but we do require the second "last."

EDIT: I misspoke! There are some acceptable translations that omit the second "last." (Moving too fast this morning...)

In English you need the article "the" in this sentence . You would need to say "the last animals and the last trees". Or "the last animals and last trees". But you do need a "the" in the sentence. If you are not sure where to put it, it is safer to just use it ("the") before each in this instance.
Not really. It is quite correct to say "the last animals and trees". One does not need that second "the last"
it's very painful for me to read this 'cause i'm russian and Siberia is burning right now
Mmm. Sorry to hear that. I took it like at a farm market or open air market where the seller was simply saying, Come back next week, "these are the last animals and trees"; I'm sold out today.
Using word blocks there is only one "the", making it impossible to add two "the" required for correct answer.
Unfortunately I don't, but I reported it. It was on the Plurals test to jump to level 1.
It's fixed. At least, today it has the correct words available. I can't speak to 5 days ago.
Použijte google. Třeba druhý odkaz na "člen the first the last" je http://www.ajslovicka.cz/clanky/urcity-a-neurcity-clen-jak-na-ne.html
