The silverback gorilla can smash glass with one punch and dare to confront the Siberian tiger, why is Tintin only 4 centimeters?
The largest species in the human family is gorillas, gorillas are not tall, because the knees can not be straightened can only crawl and walk, even if upright at most only 1.7 meters, but the size of the gorilla is very terrifying, the average weight of the average male gorilla, can reach about 175 kg, the heaviest can even have 300 kg.
Such an exaggerated body shape also brings absolute force suppression. There was a gorilla in foreign zoos who could burst zoo laminated glass thicker than ordinary explosion-proof with one punch. At that time, many tourists were watching the gorilla, and a few children learned the action of the gorilla beating his chest with his arms, but they did not know that this behavior was a provocation for the gorilla, so the gorilla instantly stormed away and punched the place where the child was, and the laminated glass shattered in response.
The good news is that none of the visitors were injured, but it was enough to see how powerful the gorilla's punch was, at least 1 ton of power, and the silverback gorilla was even stronger.
Not all gorillas can be called silverback gorillas. Generally speaking, adult male mountain gorillas will have a layer of silver villi on their backs, which is "silverback", but only those who become leaders in the group can be called real silverback gorillas. And the battle for the leader relies on force, so the combat effectiveness of the silverback gorilla will only be stronger.
However, in strong contrast to this huge size and amazing combat effectiveness, it is the silverback gorilla inheritance tool, only 4 centimeters long, which is too insignificant compared to height.
In the eyes of humans, the silverback gorilla looks like a silver-backed spearhead, with an empty body of tendon meat, but it cannot give the female happiness in the lower body. But the silverback gorilla doesn't care at all! Why do you say that?
Any organ that exists has its role, and Tintin is essentially for reproduction, or furthermore, to improve the success rate of reproduction. Like an elephant's nose, an elephant is large and bulky, but has a flexible nose that helps it handle most things. But in some animal groups, it seems that without this organ, it is possible to harmoniously produce offspring, such as chickens and fish.
So, does this mean that this organ is specially born for color? No, even many times, the size of this organ will become the key for animals to compete for mating rights. Taking chimpanzees as an example, although they are primates with gorillas, their organs are very large, and the more such chimpanzees, the more females can be favored, because this can ensure that the pregnancy rate of female chimpanzees increases, which is preserved over many years of evolution.
Isn't the silverback gorilla worried about the female pregnancy rate? In fact, there is really no need to worry, because the family of silverback gorillas is often composed of one male and multiple females, if there are other males who want to get close, then the male will take the initiative to drive it away by force, that is, the mating of female gorillas has no choice at all, can only hang on a tree, in any case, the leader male can ensure that the female conceives her own child, the organ as long as it can play a mating role, the size is not important.
The most instinctive desire of any animal, even including humans, is to reproduce, human beings can resist this temptation because of the development of intelligence, but animals cannot, most animals have a fixed estrus period and reproductive period, during this time, females and males will be in close contact, thus producing offspring. But there is no love between animals, females will find the strongest male to mate with as much as possible, and males will greedily find as many females as possible to mate.
Then the problem arises, in this process, conflicts between males will inevitably arise. How should this conflict be resolved? Generally, it is violence, such as tigers, lions, silverback gorillas will fight by force, drive the loser away, the winner monopolizes the female, ensures that the female is pregnant with her child, generally the loser is quite miserable, will not dare to come back to provoke, unless it is not afraid of death.
Therefore, this kind of animal that solves problems with violence, reproductive conflicts are mainly focused on in vitro competition, they want to obtain mating rights with females, as long as they ensure that their muscles are large enough, fight the same kind more ruthlessly, more courageous, as for the tools for inheritance, it is not important.
And there are some animals, the value of force between them is comparable, perhaps not good at fighting at all, anyone can have the opportunity to mate with females, then at this time, reproductive conflict is the competition in the body, that is, who has better sperm motility, can defeat other sperm to make females impregnated, is the most important, so the reproductive organs will evolve more and more perverted, such as ducks' terrible bottle openers.
