In nature, we often laugh because of the confusing behavior of some animals, and sometimes people are puzzled, such as-
Sloth: It will hang upside down in the tree after death.
It is hard to imagine how lazy a sloth is. Because it has been inactive for a long time, its body is covered with algae, and even its stool is only taken once a week.
Lazy sloths are so lazy that they don’t look around for food when they are hungry. They finally want to exercise, but sometimes they die because they misjudge their sports ability and physical strength.
Even if you meet the natural enemy horn carving, the sloth will not move, and the sloth caught in the sky by the horn carving will still maintain the posture of hanging upside down from the tree.
The sloth that has died will still hang upside down on the branch. When you glance at the sloth on the tree, sometimes you can’t tell whether it is alive or dead.
Giant panda: the most casual animal in the animal world
Wild animals must always be vigilant at ordinary times, or they will be killed by natural enemies if they are not careful.
But how did the giant panda do it? Often the hips are wide open, the stomach is up, and the limbs are stretched out like a "big" word to sleep. Its abdomen is soft and collapsed, and there is no hard bone to protect its internal organs. If it is attacked, it will be basically fatal. Giant pandas are unprepared for their vital points and often sleep for a long time. Although it is said that "children who can sleep grow fast", giant pandas who can sleep like this are still on the verge of extinction.
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus: You can’t breathe without farting.
The secret that loaches can live in water with bad environment lies in their unique breathing skills-in water with limited oxygen accumulated in silt, loaches don’t just rely on gills to breathe, they can directly go to the water surface and suck air into their mouths.
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus inhales through its mouth, transports the air to the intestine to absorb oxygen, and then discharges the air from its ass like giving up, so there are bubbles on the water surface.
Polar bear: When it is too hot, it will walk with its stomach against the ground.
As the largest carnivore on land, polar bears weigh nearly 800 kilograms and can reach 3 meters in length. Polar bears mainly hunt on the ice, so winter is the season when they can easily get food.
However, in summer, the ice surface decreases, polar bears can’t compete with seals in swimming speed, and their weight drops sharply because they often can’t eat. And its fur, which can resist the cold of MINUS 40 degrees, will have heatstroke reaction when the temperature is close to 0 degrees, so it is often seen that they crawl on the ground with their stomachs depressed, which is actually to cool their bodies.
Giraffe: the largest vomiting animal in the animal kingdom
"Rumination" means returning undigested food from the stomach to the mouth and chewing it carefully. Ruminants have four stomachs, and they have a very powerful ability to completely digest plants and absorb nutritional energy from them.
Giraffes are the largest ruminants, and the distance from the stomach to the mouth is more than 2 meters. When ruminating, they will see a spherical "vomit" on their necks moving in the direction of their heads.
Shiba Inu: After the tail degenerates, the buttocks are exposed.
Shiba Inu was originally a very good hound, and the fox-like color can hide itself in bushes or hay; Excellent judgment allows them to hunt pheasants, rabbits and so on strategically. Shiba Inu has been very active since ancient times. Japanese Shiba Inu also has a close relationship with the family. Because of its loyal and brave personality, it is very suitable for being a watchdog.
Japanese Shiba Inu was also domesticated from wolves. During the long-term domestication, the muscles of the straight tail gradually degenerated, and the tail curled up and became a "curled tail", so the butt was exposed and clearly visible.
Camel: The ultimate way for males to fight is to make faces.
As herbivores, camels also have canine teeth, which will also cause harm to their opponents when fighting too hard. For opponents who don’t care about their eyes at all, they will spit directly at each other-stomach contents, and the smell of this saliva will take a week to eliminate.
The two most powerful male camels will intimidate each other. They turned up the cheek pouches in their mouths and made faces to fight.
Besides, there are many animals that will do unexpected behaviors, some of which are to protect themselves, others are to attract the opposite sex …
I recommend this set of works by a well-known Japanese animal behavior expert, Shinya Hiroji-Animals that failed in evolution, which reveals some wonderful behaviors of more than 220 different animals in nature in the form of cartoons and words.
This set of books is very suitable for cultivating children’s reading interest, broadening their horizons and accumulating popular science knowledge. Every child who is curious about the world will love this set of books!
