I Have a Safari Park - Chapter 732

The two took a leisurely stroll on the path of the butterfly house, admiring all kinds of beautiful butterflies.

Looking at the popular science exhibition on the side of the road, I learned a lot about butterflies.

For example, the body of a butterfly does not have a heat-generating system, so it needs to use the sun to adjust its body temperature, and its wings to adjust the temperature.

When the sun is in direct sunlight, the scales will automatically open, reducing the radiation angle of the sun, and less absorbing the heat energy of the sun; when the outside temperature drops, the scales will automatically close again, close to the body surface, so that the sun will shine directly on the body , In order to absorb more heat.

In this way, one’s body temperature is always controlled within a normal range.

The temperature control system on the artificial satellite is designed to imitate the scales of a butterfly.

When the butterfly spends the winter, in order to enable itself to observe the surrounding environment and to bathe in the warm sunshine, it will turn its head toward the south, like a compass.

The famous monarch butterflies and their migration journey are naturally introduced.

Monarch butterflies are scientifically named monarch butterflies. They are like migratory birds in the insect kingdom. They form large groups of more than hundreds of millions in August and September each year, crossing North America, and overwintering in the pine forests of California and Mexico. In spring Return to the north.

With so many butterflies gathered together, the scene is very spectacular. On the tree, there are butterflies sticking to each other, and the dense and colorful butterflies dye the woods orange-red.

The migration of the monarch butterfly is the transfer of generations, while migrating and reproducing. After the death of the older generation of butterflies, the children will carry out a relay and move forward like a leapfrog. The migration back and forth will be completed by the five generations of butterflies.

The daily migration is about 130 kilometers, and the longest journey can reach 5000 kilometers.

Tang Xiaoxin looked at the exhibition signs and imagined the scene of their migration, and couldn’t help feeling a little emotional!

These fragile elves, as thin as a piece of paper, have such a clear goal, using the sun as a compass, flying straight in one direction.

Flying high above the curved surface of the earth, enduring the suffering of consecutive weeks of flying, flying over thousands of kilometers, ending a short life, leaving behind his offspring, and letting offspring carry their genes to move on.

It’s an incredible and romantic animal.

However, the subsequent content made her feel heavy.

In the past 20 years, the population of monarch butterflies has dropped sharply, directly to the edge of being vulnerable or even endangered.

One reason is the loss of habitat, illegal logging, and the destruction of a large number of coniferous forests.

The other is the use of a large number of herbicides and insecticides, which reduce milkweed for their livelihoods.

And with global warming, the increase in carbon dioxide content may cause milkweed to produce toxicity that larvae cannot tolerate.

With an increase in abnormal weather, a cold wave may cause many caterpillars to be killed or injured, and fewer butterflies will hatch.

Insects are an important component of biodiversity, and they also play a vital role in the operation of ecosystems. For example, pollinator insects around the world can create about hundreds of billions of dollars in value every year, but they rarely get the public. s concern.

Recent studies have shown that the number of insects in the world has been declining by 2.5% annually over the past 30 years. Today, more than 40% of insect species are declining, and about 1/3 of them are endangered. Among them, butterflies and moths And bees have the largest reduction.

Industrial-scale intensive agriculture, excessive use of pesticides, urbanization, and increasingly frequent and abnormal climate changes are the main factors causing the sharp decline in the number of insects.

Next to the exhibition sign, there is also a specimen of a monarch butterfly, which is quietly sealed in glass.

Compared with other flying butterflies, it looks a bit bleak.

Tang Xiaoxin stared at the specimen, thinking in her heart.

Thinking about the butterflies in this garden, if they all become dry specimens, it is a very sad thing to think about the beauty of them when they were alive in this way.

If there is no attention and protection, if this continues, ten or twenty years, it may become a real scene in the future.

“Don’t cry, let the fireflies take you away, and the folk songs of the country will always rely on…”

Fireflies were very common in the past, and the fields at night are dotted with romantic and beautiful scenes. Where can I still see them now?

Together with frogs, dragonflies, and bats, they disappeared silently.

“Eh~”

Tang Xiaoxin sighed lightly, and couldn’t help thinking of the vernacular exhibition area in the zoo.

Ecological control of pests, no pesticides and fertilizers, also provides a habitat environment for various animals, humans and nature coexist harmoniously.

Some hope reappeared in my heart.

…

After visiting the butterfly house, I came to the cherry blossom forest.

Blossoms of beautiful cherry blossoms hang on the treetops, and all you see are romantic pink.

A refreshing spring breeze blew by, the petals on the tree swayed slightly, bathed in golden sunlight, the translucent petals seemed to exude a faint fluorescence, and they were tender and beautiful.

During the walk, tourists admired the beauty of the cherry blossoms, and from time to time they held up their mobile phones to take pictures and recorded this romantic scene.

Tang Xiaoxin leaned in front of the cherry blossoms, took a deep breath, smiled on her face: “Smell it so well! Is this the smell of happiness.”

Qian Keke raised his hands, closed his eyes, and hugged the cherry blossom forest with an intoxicated expression: “Wow, that’s great, I really want to lie here and sleep!”

“Don’t sleep, keep going shopping!”

“I’m just talking~”

I went to the Snow Monkey Museum. The snow on the temple square has melted, and the green water in the pond seems to have been replaced by ordinary water from the hot spring.

Although you can’t see the snow monkeys in the hot springs, watching the snow monkeys frolicking and playing against the background of cherry blossoms is also a joyful thing.

A snow monkey was swimming in the pool, and the water was rippling, and the beautiful cherry blossom petals also undulated.

Some jumped up and down on the cherry tree, swinging the branches of the cherry tree, chasing and frolicking.

Occasionally pluck off a petal, UU reading www. uukanshu.com put it in your mouth and taste it.

Two little monkeys hugged and rolled into a ball.

The monkey king Dahei squatted on a rock, his eyes scanned the little ones playing.

He looked withdrawn and unprovoked, but his eyes were very gentle.

After playing around for a while, a little monkey ran to Da Hei and pulled him as if he was going to play with him.

Da Hei was dragged a little helplessly, and helped the little monkey groom his fur.

The groomed little snow monkey narrowed his eyes, looking very comfortable.

But after combing twice, Da Hei’s movements stopped. I just combed my hair just now, but I didn’t want the little guy to make a fuss about himself.

Seeing this, the little snow monkey raised his head, as if expecting Da Hei to continue grooming it.

Da Hei jumped off the rock, changed another position and stayed there.
