When we think of nature, we naturally think of the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest.
Speaking of wild environments, it is a wild wilderness, full of bloody killings and the furious roar of beasts.
But is this really the case?
Today giraffes I'm going to give a few examples to make sure to change your view of nature.
In nature, there have always been many reasonable "rational" creatures that cooperate unknownly.
To put it bluntly, creatures come out to mix, mainly to live and mate. If you are too fragrant to fill my stomach, why should I not live with you?
When I eat you, I can establish a mutually beneficial cooperation model with you for a better quality of life
For example, toothpick birds and crocodiles in elementary school textbooks
You give my crocodile brother a tooth, and I give you a little bird brother some meat. You're full of meat, and I'm less at risk of dental dentitis, so why not?
There are many similar cooperations, some of which can be called "wretched adultery", which makes human beings listen to the pain and hate can not be stopped on the spot.
<h3 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01 Mosquitoes and Yeast Bacteria are in cahoots</h3>
Some insects that feed on plant juice containing sugar, such as floating dust, aphids, weevils, etc., have large groups of fermented bacteria hidden in their stomachs.
This fermenting fungus, from the time they were still an egg, has been infiltrated, and the flowers have accompanied the mosquitoes for many years. From the egg hatching as a larva, as a pupae, so that adults, each fixed in a certain organ, helps the mosquito to break down sugars, obtain energy from the juice, and thus live to the age of sucking human blood. In addition, the mosquito's venom is mixed with fermented bacteria. After we were bitten by mosquitoes, we felt itchy, in part because of yeast mixed in mosquito proteins.
In this collaboration, the yeast gets the sugar, the mosquitoes get the energy, and only the humans get the mosquito bites, which really tickles the human teeth!
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >02 The hermit crab that has been sleeping in someone else's house has been slept by the anemone and is willing. </h3>
One of the most famous examples of collaboration among animals is the hermit crab and the anemone. Between the shallow reefs, there are a variety of hermit crabs, which often live in certain shells. On the surface of the shell, there are sponges, anemones, hydra and other animals living from time to time. It turns out that sea anemones and the like are fixed in life, they have no ability to move themselves, and they can get freedom of action by attaching themselves to the shells of hermit crabs.
For hermit crabs, anemones not only hide the body of the hermit crab, but also have poisonous thorns to protect the hermit crabs. Hermit crabs are also commonly used in coral colonies in place of shells. This hermit crab originally resided in a small snail shell with a coral attached to its surface. Corals multiply as the hermit crab grows, revealing a spiral shape that resembles a shell, carefully shielding the hermit crab.
Regarding the mutually beneficial cohabitation of anemones and hermit crabs, a biologist once conducted an experiment. In the Aquarium of Naples, Italy, there are octopuses and hermit crabs attached to sea anemones. It turns out that the octopus likes to prey on shrimp, crabs and the like, so it stretches its long legs and wants to attack the hermit crab, but suddenly it is stabbed by the stinger of the anemone, and it quickly retracts its foot, and from then on, it does not dare to attack the hermit crab again.

There is also a warty anemone and a small hermit crab, living together in one place, never divorced for life.
The hermit crab body gradually grows, and the original snail shell gradually feels small, so the anemone gradually extends the sides of the body, making the shape of the mantle membrane, concealing the front of the snail shell, and with the extension of the hermit crab's body, and then gradually concealing all its exposed parts, the tentacles of the anemone, always extending behind the mouth of the hermit crab. When the hermit crab preys on, it can collect leftover food to fill the hunger.
This life is clearly mutually beneficial. The hermit crab sometimes loses its sea anemone and appears in a state of restlessness, wandering around in search of a new cohabitant. If he is lucky enough to encounter it, he will stroke it with his tentacles, as if to signal it to transfer it to his shell. When transferring, it is very careful not to take sharp moves, so as not to frighten the anemone. When the hermit crab touches the anemone, the anemone never emits stingers. Sometimes the hermit crabs move to their homes, and the anemones must follow suit. Their close relationship is evident from this.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >04 Butterfly-ant trade</h3>
In the insect world, the cohabitation of ants and aphids is known to people. It is now known that ants and butterflies also live a concatenated life. The larvae of clams, during pupae, suddenly disappeared, and they did not understand what the reason was, but later through observation, they were found to co-inhabit the nest.
Since this rare phenomenon was made public, collectors have been eager to excavate ant nests and search for this larvae for curiosity. Therefore, their number gradually decreases and there is a danger of extinction.
Red ants, which commonly live in forests, often eat larvae such as mammoths and bird lizards when food is scarce in the spring. The larvae of clams are not eaten by ants, and the larvae of the genus Butterfly will secrete honey cream rich in sugars and amino acids from the glands on the back of the seventh segment of the abdomen, which is dedicated to the ants. In return, ants drive away carnivorous insects and parasites, preventing them from harming grey butterfly larvae. It's like a domineering president treating a young female clerk he likes – only I can bully you.
The larvae of the butterfly, after growing up, lurk in the nest horn sun and turn into pupae. In June and July of the following year, I woke up from a long sleep and put on a blue feather coat, like a goddess of heaven, flying.
Talking about the cooperation of so many creatures, I found that the natural world is actually quite lively. But there is no need to be lonely, and the highest level of cooperation is often something you can't feel. Cooperation exists in plants, animals, and even people. For example, we humans exhale carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen, while green plants are the opposite, absorbing carbon dioxide and providing oxygen to humans.
Between one breath and one inhalation, people have actually completed cooperation with nature. When we protect nature, we are also protecting ourselves.
