67 Man and Elephant

The face of the old man Yan Tao was full of hesitation, he had seen wild elephants, but he had not been in close contact, in the eyes of ordinary people, elephants were very docile, but those were elephants that had been tamed by people, serving humans.

In recent years, wild elephants have come out to hurt people and even trample on the dead.

So in his mind, wild elephants are a very dangerous animal.

Liu Wei said, "Uncle, can you show me the way?" I guarantee your safety. ”

Liu Wei just wanted the old man Yantao to lead the way, because he was familiar with the rainforest, and knew where there were river valleys and wide areas, and these were the places where elephants often haunted.

The old man Yan Tao fell into thought, and only replied after a long time: "Let's go tomorrow!"

He thought that he would only lead the way for an animal researcher, and that he would not be able to help with other things, so he agreed.

He believes that an animal researcher can handle the right way to deal with wild elephants.

"Okay, uncle, thank you!" Liu Wei thanked.

"Let's rest here tonight!" The old man Yan Tao said, went downstairs to cook.

Liu Wei nodded in response, and when the old man Yantao went out, Liu Wei came to answer the questions of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Ah Wei, why do I feel that the old man is afraid of elephants?"

"yes, aren't all the elephants we see on TV very friendly?"

Liu Weipu said: "Compared with lions and tigers...... It is true that these beasts of prey are more docile, but brothers, don't forget, elephants are currently the largest land animals in the world, weighing up to four or five tons and growing up to five or six meters long.

If you think about it in this way, is it still docile?

The meekness shown by elephants is domesticated by human beings through their own wisdom, and the wild nature of a real wild elephant will be more obvious.

As a simple example, a male wild elephant is very short-tempered during estrus, and if he can't find a female to mate, he will attack all creatures around him, whether it is a human or other ferocious animal.

Ironically, male elephants usually mate rhinos as their mothers, and if they don't obey, they are killed by the males.

It can be said that the angry wild elephant has a hard time finding its opponents. ”

"Damn, it's subverted my worldview!"

"Your circle is really messy!"

"Elephant, elephant, why are you such an elephant?"

Liu Wei continued: "The wild Asian elephant is a national first-class protected animal, but its living habits are very poor.

They do not have a fixed dwelling, they usually move in groups, and in the process of foraging, they will spoil the crops of the villagers, and the villagers can only find a way to get rid of them, but the next time they will come, and it will be very uncomfortable to see their hard-earned crops trampled.

So the local Dai villagers don't like wild elephants.

There was also a case of a villager who was imprisoned after killing an elephant.

This made the other villagers afraid to harm the wild elephants, even to defend themselves against their crops.

The national law stipulates that it is illegal to kill wild animals, not to mention that wild elephants are first-class protected animals in China!"

"How can this be?"

"The villagers have become the weaker side!"

"It's all a habitual problem!"

"I'm starting to dislike elephants a little bit!"

"I've heard about this story about Ah Wei, and it seems that a few years ago, there was a wild elephant trampling a rainforest inspector to death, and it was still in the news at the time. ”

Liu Wei nodded and said: "There is this incident, because the villagers inadvertently killed a baby elephant in order to protect their crops, and the baby elephant died, which attracted the revenge of the wild elephant group.

Not only were crops and houses destroyed, but many people were injured, and a rainforest inspector in his thirties was trampled to death by a herd of wild elephants.

In the past 20 years, the Xishuangbanna area will continue to be trampled by wild elephants, trampling to death phenomenon, according to incomplete statistics, the number of deaths exceeded 50, the number of injuries exceeded 300, which is a very large number. ”

"Nima, is the elephant going to turn the sky upside down?"

"Isn't there anyone in charge?"

"Ah Wei, why don't you go! I'm worried about you!"

Liu Wei smiled: "I'm fine, I know how to get along with them."

In fact, the main reason for these stampede incidents is still in us humans.

People in the rainforest area are constantly cutting down the original ecological plants, and developing and planting rubber forests bring economic benefits to themselves.

On the surface, the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna has not been damaged, but in fact, the large-scale planting of rubber forests is the biggest damage to the rainforest.

The use of pesticides has led to the inability of pristine rainforest vegetation to grow, reducing the food chain of elephants, narrowing their foraging range, and naturally reducing their food supply.

However, the huge weight of elephants depends on a large amount of food to support, and adult elephants eat 30 to 60 kg a day, which is a very large amount.

Once the food in the rainforest is not enough for them, they will enter the human realm in search of food, and the elephant has very poor eating habits, and it will spoil all the crops around it in the process of feeding.

That's why there will be a series of things that will happen later!"

"Hey, it turns out that the root cause is still in people!"

"I was proud of being the most advanced creature in the world, but every time I heard about Awei Kop, I was always ashamed!"

"If this continues, sooner or later the earth will be destroyed by humans!"

"Buddhism watches the live broadcast, Buddhism looks at the world, in the final analysis, you and I will live for a few decades and leave, what will happen to this world, what do you and me have to do?"

"The most annoying thing is that people like you who have nothing to do with themselves are hanging high, reciting Buddhism every day, if they are all Buddhists, and no one comes out to take care of them, mankind will be doomed long ago. ”

Liu Wei saw that there was a quarrel in the live broadcast room, and stopped: "Okay, brothers, stop arguing, it's a human mistake, and we won't run away."

Now that the national government attaches great importance to the environment and wildlife protection, what we should do is to manage ourselves or join the environmental protection propaganda team, instead of arguing over whose responsibility is here?"

"Uh-huh, Ah Wei's words are reasonable!"

"Ah Wei, you are the anchor with the highest ideological consciousness I have ever seen!"

Liu Wei smiled: "Don't forget, I am still an animal researcher, and I have another kind of responsibility!"

“66666666”

"Kudos to you!"

"Give you little hearts!"

Liu Wei got up and stretched his body, yawned, and it was already dark outside the house.

"Okay, brothers, let's stop here today! If you have the opportunity to meet elephants tomorrow, I will give you more detailed knowledge about elephants.

Uncle Yan Tao seems to be resting, and in someone else's house, it's not good to disturb others.

Brothers, understand, it's off the air ahead of schedule today, and I'll see you at ten o'clock tomorrow, bye!"

Liu Wei smiled and waved his hand.

“8888888888!”
