Chapter 232: Phenomenon (4)
The strange voice said again with a slightly penetrating voice.
"In addition to this small animal, there is also a special kind of lizard in the desert, this lizard is called the spiny lizard, generally speaking, the adult age is about 20 years, but the appearance of the spiny lizard looks very strange, like a depicted monster, there are a lot of thorns all over the body, in fact, the body color of this lizard will also change constantly, and it feels similar to ordinary lizards.
However, the most special thing about this small animal is that its head is particularly slender, and it can only stick to some small insects, and it seems that there is no way to drink water, so many people are curious about whether this animal can really survive for a long time without drinking water.
In fact, this animal lives in the desert, the reason why it can survive is entirely due to its special skin structure, its skin is almost the same as the acupuncture function of the cactus in the desert, which can absorb the reduced water back, simply put, the skin can strongly absorb the surrounding water, and absorb the water in the soil into the body through the skin.
It is not like most animals in nature need to drink water through their mouths, but their drinking water seems to need to pass through the skin, and only the skin needs to absorb the water in the soil into the body to meet the body's need for water.
When you are thirsty and your body needs to replenish water, the water stored in the tiny blood vessels in the skin will be sent to the mouth, so that you can replenish the water, and after a while they will dig a hole in themselves and bury it, so that they can absorb some of the fine water in the sand, so that the body can replenish water well.
As for why this animal looks so strange, researchers believe that it is likely to live in the desert for a long time, the desert environment is indeed very harsh, and this animal is also in the process of adapting to the desert environment for a long time gradually evolved into such a strange appearance, the so-called natural selection, this is actually a change to adapt to the environment.
Everyone knows that the desert does not always rain, occasionally it rains a little, but because the temperature is particularly high, it will be quickly evaporated, how to retain the only water in the desert, it has become one of the necessary means for them to survive in the desert, and the skin of this animal has a particularly strong moisturizing ability, which can absorb the water in the desert soil, so the probability of survival is very high.
In fact, this animal in the desert is mainly to eat ants for food, can eat 1,800 black ants a day, they eat for a long time, although it is 1,800 black ants, but can only eat one at a time, can eat up to 45 ants in a minute, if you want to eat a full meal, the time is also relatively long.
I have to say that the world is so big that there are no wonders, I didn't expect that there are still these special animals in the natural world who can live magically without drinking water, it seems that water is not a necessary resource for any animal, if we humans also have such a special function, it is not easy to survive in the desert for a long time! ”
Just after this strange sound, a group of small lizards appeared in front of their eyes.
"Huh? What's going on? This is the legendary crow's beak? How can you say it accurately? But we don't even know who it is! You say it's funny or not! Zhan Xiaogui's son was very incredible, and he hugged Zhan Xiaogui and said.
When Zhan Xiaogui and his son were not completely buffered, this magical and mysterious voice sounded again, this time as if it was about to say a rattlesnake or something.
A frightened rattlesnake may give you a little "love bite" to warn you. It's absolutely true that you've surely heard that rattlesnakes are venomous, but rattlesnakes can decide how much venom to bite you together, just as a doctor can decide how much medicine to inject under the skin.
If the snake is not angry, it does not inject any poison at all. On the other hand, if you make it with your hiking boots with a corrugated sole, it can decide that it wants to give you a lesson that you will never forget.
It takes six to forty-eight hours for a rattlesnake's venom to kill a victim, so take out your phone, call for help, and see if your local emergency response team can send an ambulance (or, better yet, a helicopter) to give you some antivenom medicine right away. And, if it makes you feel better when you wait to arrive, remind yourself that thousands of people are poisoned by snakes, and only about five die each year. But you're on the phone fast (or someone is driving you to the nearest doctor) anyway. You don't want to be one of them.
Killer bees, also known as African honey bees, really shouldn't be present in all of the Americas. They are the result of a hybrid experiment performed by European and African bees in an attempt to come up with a mix of bees that can survive in the tropical climate of Brazil for fifty.
Cross-breeding work and hybrid bees tend to produce more honey than European honey bees, but some mixed bees loosen up and mate with local bee species. This produces a very positive strain of 'African honeybees, which, while having stings, are no more average than you are bee venom and are more likely to attack in swarms to defend the hive. Africanized bees can detect invaders on territory, such as humans, at longer distances than other bees will chase those invaders longer distances too. Africanized bees resemble small, heat-seeking missiles. When they get your trail, getting them away is difficult.
By the early nineties of the last century, Africanized honey bees had reached the United States and began to spread to the desert regions of the southwest. Since then, they have spread further, not in movies and sometimes made out of threats, but kill one or two people a year.
And their reputation as a "killer bee" is a little more exaggerated – any bee sting can kill a person allergic to bee stings, and it may still be wise to avoid bees near your campsite, even if residents look like normal, non-aggressive bees. ”
Sure enough, as Zhan Xiaogui and his son expected, when this magical voice was finished, in less than a minute, several poisonous snakes with thick tails ran in front of Zhan Xiaogui and his son, as the name suggests, rattlesnakes.
The rattlesnake ran in front of Xiaogui's eyes just now, and then flew over a large piece of wasp-like things above the heads of the two of them.
