I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 713: Respect for nature is to protect ourselves

The host nodded and said: "Eating game harms others and yourself!"

I looked for the note again, and turned up a question: "Someone here asks, why are there fewer and fewer bats now, so I can't see them anymore?"

I just listened to a few people chatting, talking about the impression of bats, many viewers recalled their childhood!

Suddenly, I was surprised to find that when I was young, bats felt quite a lot. Why did they disappear without knowing it?

Wang Yan said: "The reason is very complicated!"

After thinking about it, I organized the language: "First of all, the habitat is destroyed, the area is reduced, and it is broken. This is also a problem that all wild animals face.

In fact, bats are one of the most adaptable mammals to the environment, so it used to be very common, but now humans have too much influence on the natural environment, and many environments have become unsuitable for their survival.

The most common environments for bats to inhabit are caves, abandoned mines and tree caves, as well as some abandoned buildings. The tourism development of many caves has greatly reduced the distribution range of bats. This is a very main reason. Some bats live in abandoned mines. The abandoned mines are closed or backfilled. Urban construction demolishes the ruins and cuts down the forest. Woodland clearing and cutting down the dead trees used by bats to roost will cause a large number of bats to die.

Bats are social animals. If the habitat area becomes smaller or fragmented, it will not be able to maintain the long-term survival of the population. Casually will also cause their habitat to be isolated from the hibernation area, unable to carry out normal hibernation, resulting in a decline in the population.

There are also some misunderstandings about bats that have caused people to eliminate them in large numbers.

For example, in South America, in order to prevent rabies, people have tried to kill vampire bats with poison, and even use explosives to destroy the caves where bats live. Not only killed vampire bats, but also killed other species of bats that shared habitats with them.

Using insecticides to kill them during hibernation, or to drive them away during hibernation, awakening hibernating bats will cause them to run out of fat prematurely, and they will die of starvation before spring arrives.

Durable insecticides are also a major threat. The accumulated toxins in bats can affect the development of the nervous system of the young bats. The large-scale death of the young bats will have a serious impact on the population. It may not recover for more than ten years.

The other is the slight change in habitat climate. The change in habitat temperature is very important for bats, especially female bats and young bats in the late lactation period. For example, in the summer of 1974, the cold weather caused a group of Indiana in the United States The growth period of bat larvae was extended by two weeks, and the time to complete the migration was delayed by three weeks, which affected the amount of winter fat storage and caused a large number of deaths.

Moreover, the habitat microenvironment determines the abundance of insects. When the microenvironment is not suitable for insect growth, bats will die due to lack of food.

With global warming and an abnormal increase in climate, in fact, it will bring about various invisible effects. "

The audience listened carefully to Wang Yan's explanation, and felt that they were worthy of being a researcher at Galaxy University. The knowledge was really profound, and all kinds of case data were readily available.

Also burst out various thoughts, chatting lively with family and friends.

"Unexpectedly, global warming will also affect bats?"

"The weather is really not right now. The temperature started to drop around October in previous years. It was in mid-November this year, and the weather only cooled down."

"Isn't warming good for bats?"

"We are getting warmer, and other places may be cold! You haven't heard people say that the climate will also affect the growth of insects. The natural world is so complicated and sophisticated, and they all interact with each other, and the changes in it are definitely not a word. Things that need to be clear."

"The ecological role of bats is so important. Now that the habitat is destroyed, will it have any bad effects on the environment?"

"It doesn't seem to feel anything?"

"Isn't this epidemic a consequence? Isn't it serious enough?"

"Suddenly it feels so dangerous...is this epidemic a natural warning to us?"

"We should seriously reflect on the destruction of blue stars over the years! Protect their habitats and stop destroying the natural environment. This epidemic is serious enough, but it can be controlled. I don’t know what will happen next time. Amazing role!"

Those who say this may not know that during the period when the epidemic broke out on the Blue Star, it has just started on Earth, and the days to come will still be long.

Alpha, Deta, and all kinds of mutant viruses have all emerged. The survival time, concealment, transmission range, and drug resistance are really the difference between a little white rabbit and a big bad wolf compared with the virus at this stage.

The host asked: "Why aren't bats afraid of the new crown?"

Wang Yan said: "Bats are a very magical animal. During the flight, the metabolism level will increase by 15-16 times, like an engine, high-frequency exercise will bring more heat, the body temperature will be as high as 40 degrees.

Generally, viruses that infect mammals like an environment of 36 to 7 degrees. Therefore, when a human is infected with a virus, fever is a process of immune self-healing. In bats at 40 degrees, it is difficult for ordinary viruses to survive.

The virus that can survive is also a ruthless role. Such a high metabolism will also damage DNA, so it has evolved a powerful DNA repair function. "

Fang Ye smiled and said: "So there are actually many precious secrets in bats. If we humans can understand it in depth, maybe we can find the key to resist the virus."

Wang Yan nodded: "It is indeed of great research value in medicine. Not only viruses, but anticoagulant proteins extracted from the saliva of vampire bats can dissolve blood clots twice as fast as some clinical drugs. UU Reading www.uukanshu .com"

The two answered questions from various audiences again!

I can feel that because of this epidemic, everyone's attitudes towards protecting the environment and protecting wild animals have indeed changed a lot, and the questions are very positive.

I used to be shouting slogans. I really didn’t think it would have any impact on my life. Whether you protect or poach, I’m in the city, and I don’t deal with wild animals. What does it have to do with me?

Attitude changes, willing to learn about the content of this aspect, consciousness is also a bit of "crunching".

At this time, if you see someone selling game in the market, you will definitely call the police without saying anything.

The show is about to end, and the host concluded: "Bats do look ugly and carry viruses, but they play a very important role in the ecosystem and contribute to maintaining the ecological balance. I hope you will have less fear of bats and be correct. Know them objectively.

For bats and other wild animals, the correct way is to keep our distance. Respect for nature is to protect ourselves. "
