Chapter 940

And when the newborn moose are the most dangerous and have the most natural enemies, the assassin wolf in the forest is one of their typical natural enemies.

But it is precisely for this reason that moose cubs are forced to stand up shortly after birth to avoid the attacks of predators.

So... the so-called natural selection is not only for the elimination of some weak ones, but also for their further evolution.

It's just that this way is a little different and cruel.

Studio.

"Actually, what the anchor said is indeed the same."

"Hey, although the truth is correct, it's still a little inexplicably sad to think about it."

"They are still hunted and killed in foreign countries? Doesn't it mean that there are not many such animals?"

"Yeah, such a cute animal, this is too cruel."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Although the comparison is very different, it is indeed true."

"The reason why there are not many moose in my country is that this animal has very high requirements for vegetation and is also very sensitive to changes in the outside world. The general environment is not suitable for their survival."

"Moose belongs to sub-frigid coniferous forest animals, mainly inhabiting coniferous forests and broad-leaved mixed forests, and generally will not leave the forest"

"It is also for this reason that I am so surprised to see the moose that lives and settles here in Xigu Mountain."

"In foreign countries, the forest area is relatively large, and the environment suitable for their mother's survival is relatively wide, and there are not many natural enemies for moose after they grow up, so the number of moose will naturally increase exponentially."

"However... As you have just seen, the moose is very large, and the weight of an adult moose can even reach 400 kg to 600 kg. Therefore, this animal naturally consumes more food."

"Moose's food is generally aquatic plants, and a moose can even consume 20 kilograms a day."

"If you take it to a zoo, this kind of food can afford it, but in the forest... it is a big expense, so too many moose will definitely lead to the reduction of local vegetation, especially aquatic plants."

"When the vegetation is reduced, the local organisms that can support it will be further reduced, which will destroy the local ecological balance. In this way, the vegetation will be eaten by moose in large areas, and other animals will become extinct because of the disadvantaged food competition. .”

Within a unit area, the energy that land can provide is limited.

Chinese scientist Qian Xuesen once calculated the upper limit of a piece of land that can produce food. His calculation method is very simple. Calculate the area of ​​a piece of land, and then calculate how many plants can be planted in this area. When a single plant performs photosynthesis , can only convert 1%-4% of the energy of sunlight into bioenergy.

Therefore, the total amount of vegetation multiplied by 1%-4% of the solar energy irradiated on this land is the upper limit of the energy that this land can produce.

That is to say, the energy that can be produced per unit area is limited, which also means that the organisms that can be raised are limited.

So when the number of moose increases, the number of other animals of the same species that need to consume this food will naturally decrease.

It's just that in the domestic forests, the number of moose is far from the number that will affect the survival of other animals. Even the greater the number of moose, it will increase the survival of some rare and protected animals in China.

Just like the Siberian tiger that everyone knows, moose cubs are actually one of the sources of meat that Siberian tigers prey on.

As we all know, the number of Siberian tigers is very rare, and the number of pure Siberian tigers in Northeast China is only a hundred. In this way, the increase in the number of moose will increase the chance of predation by Siberian tigers.

Li Yuan's explanation was actually very easy to understand. Everyone quickly understood Li Yuan's meaning, and the concern in their hearts was slowly let go.

Li Yuan glanced at the direction where the sound came from not far away, and asked Hu Kai who was on the side: "Have we not heard the call of the female moose for a long time?"

Hu Kai just came back to his senses, and only reacted when he heard Li Yuan's words.

Hu Kai: "Hey, it seems to be true. I haven't heard that cry for a long time."

Li Yuan nodded clearly.

"Well, I think it should be that the scar-backed moose has joined the female moose just now. In this case, we should also leave here."

Witnessing such an extremely thrilling duel, although the time is short, is enough to make people excited.

The two of them were able to see this precious large wild animal, and it was a feast for the eyes, but there was a lot of delay.Now that the battle is over, the two of them are naturally ready to leave.

It was already almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the two of them had to rush back towards the base while walking the mountain. Otherwise, the mountain was so steep that they really wouldn't be able to go back if they were not in a hurry.

Hu Kai nodded, and silently picked up the backpack again.

Taking their own things, the two looked at the direction where the two moose appeared just now in a tacit understanding, and then turned and left.

Following the mountain, the two of them returned to the forest in a short time.

The area of ​​the ancient mountain is huge, even if you stand on the top of the mountain, you can only see the endless mountains and the endless clouds.

The two shuttled through the mountains and forests. At this time, an hour had passed since they left the river.

Li Yuan: "Come on, Kaizi, here you are."

Li Yuan grabbed a handful of grass from the grass beside him and handed it to Hu Kai.

Hu Kai took the handful of grass, but was a little confused.

"Grass? What... what are you doing? Well, I, I'm not hungry."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly.

"What do you eat? This is mosquito grass, which is used to repel mosquitoes. You can crush this mosquito grass and apply it on the exposed skin to repel insects."

Hu Kai instantly blushed.

"So it's used to repel insects. I thought you made some weird food for me..."

Studio.

"I don't know what to do..."

"Haha, Kaizi's expression is so cute."

"Amused me to death, is this unconditional belief?"

"The things the anchor found are really weird."

"Mosquito grass, we also have this thing here, but I really don't know if this thing can repel mosquitoes."

"Mosquito grass is a kind of herbal medicine. It seems that this name is named because it can repel mosquitoes."

Hu Kai took the grass that Li Yuan gave him, followed Li Yuan's example, kneaded the mosquito grass into juice, and applied it on his face, neck, and exposed hands.

The juice of Mosquito Grass is very rich, with a faint fragrance and a faint bitter taste, but even if it is applied to the face, the smell is not obvious.
