I Have a Safari Park

The host nodded and said, "Eating game will harm others and yourself!"

I looked for the note again, and came up with a question: "Someone asked here, why are there fewer and fewer bats now and can't be seen?"

I listened to a few people chatting just now, talking about their impressions of bats, and many viewers recalled their childhood!

Suddenly I was surprised to find that I felt a lot of bats when I was a child, why did they disappear without knowing it?

Wang Yandao: "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, which is also a problem faced by all wild animals.

In fact, bats are one of the mammals with the strongest adaptability to the environment, so they used to feel very common, but now humans have too much influence on the natural environment, and many environments have become unsuitable for them to survive.

The most common habitats for bats are caves, abandoned mine shafts and tree holes, as well as some abandoned buildings. Nowadays, the tourism development of many caves has greatly reduced the distribution of bats. This is a very important reason. Some bats live in abandoned mine shafts. The abandoned mine shafts are closed or backfilled. Woodland clearing, cutting down dead trees that bats use to roost, can lead to massive bat deaths.

Bats are social animals, and if the habitat area becomes smaller or fragmented, the long-term survival of the population cannot be maintained. Casually will also cause their habitat to be isolated from the hibernation area, unable to perform normal hibernation, resulting in a decline in the population.

There are also misconceptions about bats that have led to mass extermination of them.

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 the bats live. Not just vampire bats, but other species of bats that share their habitat.

Using pesticides to kill them while they are hibernating, or repelling them while they are hibernating, waking up the hibernating bats can cause them to run out of fat prematurely and die of starvation before spring.

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

Another is the micro-change in habitat climate. Changes in habitat temperature are 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 bats in Indiana, USA. The bat larval growth period was extended by two weeks and the completion of migration was delayed by three weeks, affecting the winter fat reserves and resulting in mass mortality.

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.

Now global warming and abnormal increase in climate will actually bring about various effects that we cannot see. "

The audience listened attentively to Wang Yan's explanation, and felt worthy of being a researcher of Galaxy University. He was really knowledgeable and had various case data at his fingertips.

He also burst into various thoughts and chatted lively with his family and friends.

"I wonder if global warming is also affecting bats?"

"The weather is really not right now. In previous years, it started to cool down around October. This year, it was mid-November, and the weather was cold."

"Wouldn't warming be good for bats?"

"We are getting warmer here, and other places may be very cold! You haven't heard anyone say that the climate will also affect the growth of insects. Nature is so complex and sophisticated, and they have effects on each other, and the changes in it are definitely not a matter of words. things to be clear.”

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

"You don't seem to feel anything?"

"

"Suddenly it feels so dangerous...Is it a warning from nature?"

"We should seriously reflect on the damage to the Blue Star over the years! Protect their habitat and stop damaging the natural environment!"

I'm afraid those who say this don't know, it's just the beginning on earth, and the days to come are still long.

The host asked: "Why are bats not afraid of viruses?"

Wang Yandao: "Bat is a very magical animal. During flight, the metabolic level will increase by 15-16 times, like an engine, high-frequency exercise will bring more heat, and the body temperature will be as high as 40 degrees.

Generally, viruses that infect mammals like the environment of thirty-six or seven degrees, so when a person is infected with a virus, fever is a process of immune self-healing. At 40 degrees in bats, it is difficult for ordinary viruses to survive.

The virus that can survive is also a ruthless character. Such a high metabolism also damages 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 deeply, 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 also anticoagulant proteins extracted from the saliva of vampire bats can dissolve blood clots twice as fast as some clinically used drugs."

The two answered various questions from the audience!

I can feel that everyone's attitude towards protecting the environment and protecting wild animals has indeed changed a lot, and the questions are very positive.

Maybe I used to shout slogans, but I really didn't feel that it had any impact on my life. It doesn't matter if you protect or poach or something. I'm in the city, and I don't deal with wild animals, so it has nothing to do with me.

Attitude changes, willing to understand the content of this aspect of learning, and consciousness is also "rubbing" a bit.

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

The show is about to end, and the host concluded: "Bats are indeed ugly and carry viruses, but they play a very important role in the ecosystem and contribute to the maintenance of ecological balance. I hope everyone has less fear of bats and is correct. recognize them objectively.

The right thing to do with bats and other wild animals is to keep our distance. To respect nature is to protect ourselves. "
