Chapter 283
[Isn't AIDS only transmitted among primates? 】

[The prefix is ​​koala, so this is different from the AIDS spread by primates. The two have the same name, but they don't spread each other! 】

[The private life of koalas is a bit messy! 】

"The word AIDS virus, it can be said that everyone talks about it." Su Yun hugged the koala into his arms, and continued, "As a disease that destroys the immune system, koalas suffer greatly from it!"

"The spread of this disease among koalas is astonishing. Some zoologists have made statistics. The result is that every koala has HIV. Moreover, this The virus will multiply and be passed on to future generations, and become the real endless descendants!"

After a moment of silence, Su Yun continued, "This disease cannot be cured by modern medicine so far. Therefore, human beings are helpless against the genetic AIDS in koalas."

"If you want not to go extinct, then the koalas have to save themselves." After a pause, Su Yun waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's not self-help. To be explicit is to suffer! It takes a lot of time to survive until the AIDS virus embedded in DNA By changing the DNA and truly coexisting with the host, the koala will never suffer this kind of suffering again!”

"However, some experts predict that koalas will be completely extinct in 30 years. There is no time left for them to degrade the viruses in their bodies! Because their number is too small."

"Of course, there is still good news. Koalas raised in captivity do not carry HIV. Perhaps, in the near future, after wild koalas become extinct, koalas raised in captivity will be released back to the world by humans. Nature!"

[Are koalas in captivity still real koalas? 】

[The wildness is gone, just like the Siberian tiger in our country. It is said that the Siberian tiger is extremely ferocious, but the captive Siberian tiger and the Siberian tiger that was honed in the wild are obviously two species! 】

[So, it is not disease that caused koalas to become extinct, but human beings. If human beings hadn't wiped them out, there would definitely be enough of them to survive the virus! 】

[When time passes, can downgrading oneself really allow them to survive?You know, this is the AIDS virus! 】

Nodding his head, Su Yun said firmly, "Time can really heal everything. Millions of years ago, this virus existed in many vertebrates, but after the baptism of time, this virus has been neutralized, and it has perfectly reached an In order to live in peace. This research discovery was discovered by scientists on bone fossils!"

After the beef jerky was swallowed, the koala looked at Su Yun eagerly. Although the main food of the koala is eucalyptus leaves, as long as it can get food, the koala that eats even poop will not refuse other things. food.

Reaching into the backpack, under the angry eyes of the parrot, Su Yun took out an apple that belonged to the parrot.

Seeing the koala gnawing on the apple, Su Yun said, "Except for giant pandas, almost every animal is endangered because of human beings, and koalas are no exception."

"When Australia first became a British colony, there were more than 1000 million koalas on the entire continent, and then their peaceful life was broken, and their names were written on the hunting list."

"Especially from 1919 to 1924, during these five years, it can be said that it was the darkest period that koalas faced. In five years, 800 million koalas disappeared from the world until 2012 In 30, there were only about [-] koalas in existence."

Taking a long breath, Su Yun continued, "In other words, the number of koalas has not increased during the 1788 years since the British landed in Australia in 2021 until 233. The downward trend, coupled with the 19 years of bushfires, has made the already small number of koalas even worse."

[So, now the white people in Australia are outsiders, and the black-skinned people in the tribe before are the real aborigines]

[However, the white people who occupy this continent have caused a large number of animals to become extinct or are about to become extinct, such as thylacines, koalas, etc., while the original indigenous people burn the forest every year to prevent fires during the dry season. While protecting the forest, they also Protecting the animals living in the forest, the comparison between the two sides will make a judgment, right? 】

[Just like the banner of democracy, freedom, and environmental protection that the United States is flying now, but you must not forget that the original owners of the land in the United States were Indians. It was after they killed all the Indians that the United States came into being. , please don’t just see their hypocritical surface and ignore what’s underneath! 】

[So that is to say: Don't look at what they say, but look at what they do! 】

[Why is it that the giant panda is not thought to be endangered? 】

Su Yun looked at the bullet screen in a daze, good guy, he was a live broadcast promoting the protection of animals, but he was raised to another level by the audience in the live broadcast room, not to mention, this year's netizen consciousness is quite high.

But Su Yun couldn't express anything, after all, he is a public figure now.

Clearing his throat, Su Yun changed the topic and said, "Some audience asked, why is the endangered giant panda not caused by humans? This question is very simple."

"If there is no human intervention, koalas are basically not likely to become extinct, but without human intervention, the number of giant pandas will definitely decrease."

After a pause, Su Yun said, "Of course, the reduction in the number of giant pandas will definitely be related to humans, but you have little to do with it."

"Let's put koalas and giant pandas together and compare them."

After sorting out his thoughts, Su Yun looked at the eucalyptus leaves swaying in the wind and said, "The koala's pregnancy time is about 35 days, which means that after mating, a female koala will give birth to a baby koala 35 days later. They only give birth to one per litter, and then they will live safely in the mother's pouch for 6 months, with no worries about food and clothing!"

"After 6 months, the little koala can survive outside and be protected by its mother for another 6 months before being able to survive independently and be driven away by the mother."

"During these 12 months, the little koala will grow up steadily from the size of a thumb. It will eat and drink as much as it wants, and it will truly have no worries about food and clothing."

Smoothing the oily long hair, Su Yun continued, "The survival rate of cubs is high. This is a characteristic. The most important characteristic is that as long as female koalas reach maturity, they can conceive and give birth every year. This process can last for 18 years, which means that a female koala can have 18 children as long as it is born, aged, sick and died normally."

"This feature alone is a few blocks away from giant pandas!"

Rubbing the koala's belly, Su Yun said, "Let's talk about why there are so few giant pandas!"
