Giraffes are the world's tallest terrestrial animals, also beautiful spirits, and their protection is urgent.
Today our protagonist is the world's tallest terrestrial animal.
How tall is it?
Its neck would be taller than the average normal adult male height, what a concept, its neck reaches 1.5m~2.5m, its height is about 6m, and some can grow to about 8m.
Long-necked giraffe calves can reach 1.5m when they are born, I with my one-meter-five stature can't compare to the calf of a long-necked giraffe.
Is it afraid of retiform disease?
It can carry a neck that is two meters long and walks on the grassland every day, what a heavy load on its shoulders.
Suitable for survival, gazing at the ancestors of the long-necked giraffe grazing on grass in the past, gradually the low-lying vegetation and grass were eaten away, the long-necked giraffe ancestors looked up and nibbled on the tender leaves of trees, some short-necked and low-necked deer gradually died of starvation because they couldn't find food to eat, while the ancestors of the long-necked giraffe survived by becoming longer and longer necks through evolution and reproduction.
This is also due to changes in the Earth's environment leading to the evolution of long-necked giraffes for survival.
Long-necked giraffes are herd animals, usually living together with more than ten individuals.
Long-necked giraffes are also stolen?
We can understand why elephants are hunted because poachers kill elephants for the sake of trafficking ivory.
We can understand why rhinos are hunted because poachers kill rhinos for the sake of trafficking rhino horns.
We can understand why bears are hunted because poachers kill bears for the sake of trafficking bear paws.
It turned out that the beautiful fur of the long-necked giraffe had exquisite patterns, which could be used to make hats and clothes, and the meat could be used.
There is also a superstitious belief, African locals believe that the brain tissue of the long-necked giraffe can be used to treat AIDS, which is really a backward place.
Now in the 21st century, it's the century of science, yet there are still people who believe that animal brain tissue can be used to treat AIDS, which is really ridiculous.
Even experts haven't found a drug for a disease that hasn't been found yet, yet there are still people who believe in so-called folk remedies.
Now the number of wild long-necked giraffes is decreasing, some conservationists call it silent extinction, why?
Because their activity range is decreasing and their habitat is shrinking, and there is also a group of poachers chasing after them, with pursuing soldiers and bad guys, how can this magical species continue to exist?
Silent extinction
We often hear which animals are about to be endangered, have you heard of the extinction of long-necked giraffes?
Long-necked giraffe calves have only one offspring per pregnancy, you didn't see it wrong, and the gestation period is as long as 15 months, the lifespan of long-necked giraffes is 30 years, now because of the reduction of habitat, long-necked giraffes have to go further and further to find food.
Conservationists can only protect a limited area, when long-necked giraffes are no longer safe zones, poachers start to work, presenting a hideous face to animals to satisfy their interests.
Poachers really present a hideous face.
More and more wild animals are on the verge of extinction, one reason is the reduction of habitat, and the other is the theft of poachers. Many animals have been extinct because of the influence of predators.
Establish more sound measures to protect wild animals and severely punish these poachers.
Protect animals, everyone is responsible, don't eat wild meat, starting from me.
There are wonders in nature, I am,Animal Chroniclesa person who loves nature and loves to study animals, today I will introduce you to long-necked giraffes, bringing you the wonders of nature and animals every day, you can like and follow.
