live animal world

Chapter 248.

Arriving next to the weakest dingo, Su Yun pressed the opponent's shoulder blade and said, "Next, we will officially educate Australian dingoes."

"The origin of the dingo is in Asia. The origin is that the Southeast Asians brought hunting dogs to the Australian continent. Therefore, the hunting dogs began to multiply. Without human intervention, the number gradually increased, and they were out of human control and became dingoes. "

"Although the ancestor of the wild dog is the Asian wild dog, the Australian wild dog is much larger than the Asian wild dog. This situation is probably caused by environmental and temperature problems. After all, Asia is much colder than Australia. It can be said that Heat expands and contracts.”

Stretching out his hand, he gestured at the opponent's long legs and said, "Look at the opponent's limbs and body shape. The limbs are thin and long, the soles of the feet are thick and large, and the waist is also thin and long, which means that the speed is extremely fast."

"In addition, dogs are born with strong endurance. The advantages of endurance and speed have created their status as kings in Tuao."

"However, their advantages have hurt the herdsmen's economy. Therefore, the huge number of them has gradually become an endangered species. Although Tuao is very concerned about their protection, the herdsmen don't care about the animal protection law. , all they know is that the wild dogs are killing their flocks and hurting their economy."

"So, as long as the herdsmen see this kind of wild dog, they will shoot and kill it without any hesitation, without any room for relaxation."

Looking at the carcass of a wild dog whose bones had been eaten away, Su Yun continued, "There is a saying that the decline of one species is the rise of another."

"Have you ever heard of a creature like the marsupial lion? According to research experts, there was indeed a creature like the marsupial lion more than 5 years ago, and it was also the top predator in Tu'ao."

"However, because of slash-and-burn cultivation, the aborigines wiped out the marsupial lion, and along with the marsupial lion, there were also dicynodonts and the ancient monitor lizard."

"With the demise of this group of large predators, another creature quietly grew up, and that was the thylacine."

Rubbing the dog's head beside him, Su Yun continued, "Without the suppression of the top predators, the thylacine has become the new overlord of Tuao, and the number has increased geometrically, but the good times did not last long, and the thylacine was once again extinct by humans. .”

"Thus, the exotic species dingo was given a chance to grow, so the dingo became the new king."

"However, the dingo has done too much harm to the animal husbandry and has caused dissatisfaction among the herdsmen. Therefore, the dingo is about to become endangered, and may even follow in the footsteps of the thylacine and be extinct."

With a chuckle, Su Yun asked, "If the dingoes are extinct, guess who will be the next to replace the dingoes as the overlord?"

[There are animals like marsupial lions?This is not made up by scientists, is it? 】

[There are also dinosaurs. The fossils are all placed there. You can’t say it’s made up. 】

[The next one to become the overlord of Australia is the kangaroo. After all, there are more kangaroos than Australians!Ha ha ha ha】

Shaking his head, Su Yun said, "The next animal that can replace wild dogs is a fox."

"Because foxes are also alien species, there are no dogs, cats, rabbits, or foxes in Tu'ao. These are all alien species that invaded and were brought during European colonization."

"Some people may say that it is impossible for the crocodile to become the overlord, or for lizards and snakes. Not to mention their small numbers, their ability to adapt to the environment is not as strong as that of dogs."

"So, without the restraint of dingoes, the foxes will rise wildly, the ecosystem will be destroyed, and some small mammals will likely be eaten and extinct."

With a long sigh of relief, Su Yun said, "The reason why I said this is to express a meaning. Nature under human intervention is deformed, incomplete, and has no closed chain. Tu'ao is a living example. There is no perfection. This will lead to a crazy increase of a certain kind of animal, and the consequence is to squeeze the living space of other animals."

[Take Northeast China as an example, if there were no Siberian tigers and black bears, it would not take three years, but two or even a year, and you would be able to see wild boars all over the mountains.And as the first victim among one pig, two bears and three tigers, the farmer at the foot of the mountain can wipe out the wild boar. 】

[It's scary, but it has nothing to do with us. It's Tuao's ecosystem anyway, so let's just watch the show. 】

[How can the upstairs be able to add insult to injury?But I agree with what you said. 】

After a pause, Su Yun changed the subject, pointed at the fearful wild dog and said, "Don't look at it as cowardly now, but once the dog king dies or gets old, it will become extremely dangerous when the dynasty changes." It is aggressive, even if it knows that it can't beat the wild dogs above its head, it will still show its minions, and it won't be as cowardly as it is now."

"Under normal circumstances, wild dogs live alone. After all, there are many unique benefits. However, there are still wild dogs who are willing to live in groups. Their sociality is similar to that of wolves, and they are very strict."

"But their mobility is different from that of wolves. Wolves hunt on the move and will migrate with their prey. However, dingoes are different in that their territory is not large, about 20 square kilometers, and they have a strong sense of territory. But sometimes other species look for trouble."

After a pause, Su Yun pointed to the group of wild dogs and said, "As we can see, these wild dogs are the ones looking for trouble."

"Their diet is very rich. As long as it is not poisonous or harmful, they dare to eat it. Kangaroos, sheep, bison, wild horses, and lizards are all their target prey."

[(1/10) Top Ten Unique Animals: Dinggou Science Popularization Completed]

Su Yun nodded in satisfaction, the science popularization of dingoes is relatively easy.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of footsteps landing quickly in the distance, and heard the sound getting closer.

Su Yun looked back, and immediately saw a crocodile approaching quickly with its short legs. Not only Su Yun saw the figure of the other party, but the group of dogs also noticed it.

The meal was interrupted, and the crocodile that came was very large, which immediately made the dogs a little frightened and angry. They were angry because they had not eaten enough, and they were frightened because they could not beat it.

But the matter was not over yet, the smell of blood also attracted another uninvited guest, an Australian monitor lizard was also running around at this time, quickly approaching step by step.

"Tsk tsk, here are two more powerful ones." After Su Yun finished speaking, he retreated without hesitation and went straight to the nearest tree. He didn't want to get involved in their disputes.

"The most powerful crocodile in the water, the overlord wild dog on land, and the Australian monitor lizard that are also at the top of the food chain, this is a good show. I don't know if they are testing each other and let it go, or fighting each other for food. frame."

Su Yun held the parrot in his arms and quietly watched the three animals enter.

The audience in the live broadcast room was also attracted by this sudden scene. They had just watched the wild dog's war scene, but they didn't expect that there would be another more exciting scene.

　Thank you Bao Lingyu for the 600 reward, thank you very much, Arigado.
