The host said: "I never knew that bats have such an important ecological role! It seems that animals cannot be judged by their appearance, and their quality cannot be judged by their appearance alone.

But there is also a very important question, that is, what should I do when I see a bat? Can they infect people? ”

The audience in front of the TV immediately listened attentively, and even picked up pens and notebooks to take notes.

This is also the question that everyone is most concerned about today!

Wang Yan said: "As the second largest group of all mammals, bats have more than 1,400 species distributed around the world, and the species diversity is extremely high.

The common bats on this side of the sea include Chinese chrysanthemum bats, dog bats, large hoofed bats, Chinese rat-eared bats, fruit tree hoof bats, flat-headed bats and so on.

Don't get excited when you hear about the chrysanthemum bat, which generally lives in mountainous areas, caves are their habitat, and they don't enter urban areas.

Other bats and Chinese chrysanthemum bats are not the same species, not even the same family, and have a very distant relationship, for example, someone has seen dog bats in the park before, they eat fruit and nectar, and the viruses carried by them are naturally very different. ”

Fang Ye said: "It's like rodents, there are our most common house mice, squirrels, bamboo rats, and even beavers, and porcupines covered in thorns, this is a world of difference." ”

Wang Yan said: "That's right, so you don't need to be too alarmed when you see them, the bats that you can see in our city are not the natural hosts of the new crown."

And even if the natural host of the new crown is the Chinese chrysanthemum bat, it does not directly transmit the disease to humans.

Because the genetic differences between humans and bats are very large, gene sequencing shows that although the virus in the infected person is very similar to the coronavirus carried by the Chinese chrysanthemum bat, there are still many differences, belonging to two different viruses.

It is more likely to be transmitted to humans through some unknown intermediate host. ”

Fang Ye said with a smile: "And in our city, the number of bats is actually very small, if you can see one, it means that you are lucky and blessed, this is one thing to be happy about." ”

To sum up, the chrysanthemum bats will not be encountered if they live in a cave! Other bats don't carry the coronavirus! It is not directly transmitted to people! The number of bats is low!

So there's no need to worry about it at all.

Hearing this, the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

The worry and dislike of bats can be said to have disappeared ninety percent.

The rest of the mustard about the appearance of bats, thinking of their ecological role just mentioned, slowly began to accept it.

The host asked, "So, don't you have to do anything when you see bats?" ”

Fang Ye said: "That's right, we've been with them for so long before, isn't it okay."

The bat itself is a natural being, part of the ecosystem, and there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you don't touch it, don't eat it, then it's fine, it's best to do nothing. ”

Wang Yan said: "Bats in the city generally live in the holes and crevices of buildings, and they come out at night during the day, and they do not meet people during the day, and only come out at night.

Now that the weather is cold, bats have the habit of hibernating, and when the temperature is low, they will enter hibernation, shrink up and hang to sleep, and then come out to move when the weather is warm, and the opportunity to contact people is very rare, and they will also actively keep a distance from humans.

Disturbing them can lead to unforeseen risks. ”

The host said: "Thank you Principal Fang and Teacher Wang Yan for giving us the answer!" If you have any questions, you can send a text message to ask questions? ”

Someone was texting someone to ask questions just now!

The staff below wrote the questions down on slips of paper, and several slips of paper were handed over.

The host looked at the note and said, "Some audience friends asked, can crayfish still be eaten?" Can bamboo rats still be eaten? ”

This is the most concerned issue for foodies and merchants!

After the outbreak of the new crown, I heard that the original source was in the seafood market, and the sales of seafood also plummeted, and everyone did not dare to eat it for the time being.

Fang Ye replied: "Crayfish, fish, anything, you can eat with confidence!" You don't have to be too afraid, if you want to say that there is a virus, it can only be that in the process of transportation, the human virus sticks to it, whether it is a crayfish or a vegetable, the doorknob is the same.

As for the bamboo rats that everyone is confused, this is not game, according to our general understanding, wild animals are those animals that live in the wild, right?

I don't know what viruses and parasites are carrying, and catching them to eat them is not only irresponsible to myself, but also irresponsible to society, and may also harm endangered wild animals, which is to be seriously condemned.

However, in the legal definition of our country, except for domestic animals and poultry such as pigs, cattle and sheep, as well as fish, shrimp and crabs, all other animals are called 'wild animals'.

So this time, everyone heard a very funny word, called artificially bred wild animals.

Bamboo rats, sika deer, porcupines and so on, they are all animals that can be legally raised commercially within the specified range, but they are also called wild animals.

In fact, there are some artificially bred economic animals, which are a kind of protection for wild populations.

For example, sika deer have been hunted in large quantities, for their antler venison, now the number of wild sika deer is still very small, in our country is endangered, after the artificial breeding matures, the poaching in the wild has decreased.

There are also Siamese crocodiles, the skins of many luxury bags and wallets, which were once on the verge of being suspected of being extinct in the wild, and are now farmed crocodiles. This is actually a good thing.

Now because of the epidemic, it is one-size-fits-all, and the situation is special, so it is helpless to kill a thousand mistakes rather than let one go.

There is also a problem with these captive-bred wild animals, they can be raised, but there is no relevant quarantine standard.

In addition, there are some unscrupulous businesses that take wild ones and pretend to breed them, which is also a mixed bag. Anyway, this piece is still very messy.

Therefore, what we need to do after this epidemic is to learn a lesson, regulate the special breeding industry, and intensify the crackdown on those who poach and trade wild animals. ”

"I've been wondering what the hell this captive-bred wild animal is! I had a fight with someone about this before. ”

"No matter what kind of animal it is, you can eat it with confidence if you have a quarantine!"

"I feel sorry for the bamboo rat, I feel sorry for the bamboo rat brother! That's unlucky. ”

"Some people have a mentality that the more they eat game, the more they show their ability and even pride. To protect wild animals, the most important thing to change is this kind of perception, when everyone is ashamed of eating wild meat, there will be no such thing. ”

The audience was talking.
