A few days ago, Xiaobian brought a new special topic on the Guinness Book of Records in the world - "The First Bullet of the Top Ten Worlds in the Animal World" which won the attention and affirmation of friends. XiaoBian still feels happy in his heart. I can't help but sigh: there are really too many worlds in the animal world, and the number of animals we know and don't know is really eye-opening. Today, Xiaobian continues to work hard to bring friends the second bullet of the top ten world animal worlds.
1, who is the shortest dog in the world, the shortest dog in the world
Who is the shortest dog in the world, Xiaobian to tell you! Bobo, a Chihuahua dog from Kentucky, is the shortest dog in the world at only 10.16 centimeters tall. The world's shortest dog won the 2007 Guinness World Records.
2. The longest snake in the world
How long is the longest snake in the world Sichuan found a rare python, and the miners who encountered the python were frightened on the spot. On May 14, the weather was very hot, at 10 o'clock in the morning, in the Jade Mine of Jinsi Cliff in Jiaying Village, Maotang Township, which was located in the deep mountains and dense forests, miner Jia Xianwa carried water to prepare lunch. When I was about to reach the edge of the mountain spring, I saw a large bucket of thick monsters about 50 meters long drinking water in the spring, the black background, the sun shining on the monster, emitting a forced cold light, Jia Xianwa suddenly realized that it was a giant python, and immediately fainted in fright. At 11 o'clock, other miners saw that Jia Xianwa had not returned for a long time, sent people to see the end, the miner soon found that the fainted Jia Xianwa and the python not far away, did not dare to save people, and quickly returned to report the letter.
The miners used the mining explosives to make explosives to blow up the python, the python heard the sound of the lead, quickly looked up and left, only to see the place where the python passed, the wind was strong, the grass and trees were all upside down, and after a moment it crossed the mountain and disappeared into the jungle. The miners were distraught to rescue Jia Xianwa, and one of them went to carry water and found that the mountain spring that could hold at least 10 buckets of water in the past had been drunk. According to the local people, the python was found for the first time, it may be that the weather has been dry and rainy this year, the python is thirsty and hot, and only came out to find water to drink, and a few years ago they also found four or five pythons with thick bowls on the mountain.
Looking at the picture, this snake is obviously larger and longer than the world's longest snake mentioned below, which is said to be seen on record, as well as the largest snake (the Indonesian net-spotted python "osmanthus flower"):
The largest snake found in the world is the python caught alive and exhibited alive in Indonesia in 2006.
A small park in the country exhibits this very rare snake, which is 14.85 meters long and weighs 447 kilograms. This is the longest and largest snake discovered by humans in the past 100 years, and it is also the longest and largest snake known in the world.
According to British media reports, the large snake was found in a primeval forest on the western Indonesian island of Sumatra, and the locals caught it and sold it to the park, whose management named the large snake "Osmanthus Flower". Although the name sounds gentle, it is said that the large mouth of the "osmanthus flower" is very scary once opened, and it can easily swallow an entire person.
Indonesian local media reported that the snake was tested by academic institutions such as the National Institute of Sciences and the Agricultural Research Institute to confirm its length, weight and breed. Many zoologists say they have never seen a snake this big or so long.
It is said that to subdue such a large snake, at least 8 to 10 prime-age men are needed. Previously, the guinness book of world records and recognized as the world's longest snake, a large python with a pattern on its body, 10 meters long, was shot in Indonesia in 1912.
The institute's zoologists also revealed that the longest snake in the world found this time is the "indigenous snake" in Southeast Asia, which is more common in Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries, but generally not so long.
3, the world's heaviest cat The world's largest and heaviest cat
According to foreign media reports in 2007, there was a fat cat Katie in Ula Mountain, Russia, weighing 23 kilograms, which is the largest and heaviest cat in the world known, competing with a cat weighing 21.3 kilograms in Australia for the title of "The Fattest Cat in the World" in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Katie usually doesn't play anything, the main thing is to eat! Lick the soles of your feet, stretch your loins, and start eating. Katie was so fat that she couldn't move, and it was difficult to turn over. So, Katie didn't want to move as soon as she lay on the couch, but she couldn't move if she just wanted to. However, Katie's owner did not want to lose weight, but continued to feed it with the fish it loved all day long, because the owner wanted to raise Katie into the world's fattest cat and make it enter the Guinness World Record.
4, the world's most expensive dog, the world's most expensive dog
The 180-pound dog, who was only 11 months old and weighed, was named Sensational. On March 12, 2011, a red Tibetan mastiff in Qingdao was bought by a coal boss for 10 million yuan, becoming the most expensive dog in the world. The price of the red smurf has soared over the past few years, from the first few hundred yuan to 6 figures or even higher. The red Tibetan mastiff is said to be a native Chinese species. Both Genghis Khan and Buddha once raised Tibetan mastiffs, but now there are no more than 20 Tibetan mastiffs in Tibet.
5, the world's fastest running dog
Greyhound, also known as Greyhound, is native to the Middle East and is the fastest dog in the world. Adult dogs are 68–76 cm tall and weigh 27–32 kg. The Gree dog is a rare purebred dog. In modern times, the world is recognized as the best of the Australian Lingti, and the greyhounds of all countries are selected from Australia.
Many believe in the origins of the Lingti dog population, the origin of this breed is as far as ancient Egypt, where a bas-relief depicting the short-haired Saluki Hound (Saluki) was found in a tomb built 4000 BC. However, a 2004 analysis of DNA showed that Lingti was not closely related to this breed of dog, but was a close relative of herding dogs.
Characteristics of the Gree Dog:
1. Shoulder height 60-76 cm, weight 29-35 kg.
2. The coat is short and fine. The coat color is diverse, including black, white, melasma, and markings.
3. The head cover is narrow and long, the top of the head is flat, the width between the ears and the eyes is equal; the nose bridge is straight, the nose is black; the mouth is long, the front end is thin, the ears are small and thin, usually folded backwards, erect when excited; the eyes are oval, dark.
4. The abdominal cavity is wide in order to accommodate a strong heart; the abdomen is retracted upwards, the lines are curved; the limbs are slender and powerful, the thighs are muscular, the toes of the feet are long, the joints are high and high, like rabbit feet; the tail is slender, the tail root is short, and the tail end is slightly curved.
Gree Dogs. With a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour and a maximum of 66 kilometers, it is the fastest running dog in the world. It has an elegant temperament, a beautiful body structure, alertness and sensitivity, and rich feelings. There are rules. With a smooth gait when walking and swift as a fly when running, the Gree dog can accurately hunt down small and sensitive animals. Since ancient times, hares have been competitors of the Gree dog, and in order to train them, artificial mechanical rabbits have been used to make them chase activities.
Life habits of Gree dogs:
1, the Greyhound does not have the habit of caring for the owner, does not like to bark and attack strangers; it is afraid of the cold, most of the time it lies lazily in a warm and comfortable place. But once he finds prey or something for him to play with, he shows surprising speed and flexibility.
2. Lingti dogs need 40 minutes to 60 minutes of exercise time every day, and the amount of exercise of adult dogs is about 10 kilometers per day. Due to the greet's super explosive power and speed, the short and smooth back hair makes it very susceptible to injuries, especially abrasions and fractures.
3. The life span of the Greyhound is about 9-15 years. However, due to the use of certain hormonal drugs, some of the racing dogs in the competition can only live for about 7 years.
6, the world's fastest running snake
The black mamba (scientific name: Dendroaspis polylepis) is a member of the genus Comamba, the longest venomous snake in Africa, with an average body length of 2.3 m (7.5 ft) and a maximum length of 4.45 m (14.6 ft). The word "black" in its name actually describes its dark mouth rather than its gray or brown body. The black mamba is also the fastest snake in the world, moving at a speed of 16-20 km/h over short distances. It is also often considered a very dangerous venomous snake for various reasons.
Characteristics of the Black Mamba Snake:
1. The body color of the black mamba snake is rarely black. Their body color has a variety of variations, mainly gray, dark green, brown, brown, earth yellow, etc., while the juveniles are mainly bright gray or dark green.
2. The abdomen of the black mamba snake is white, some are beige; in addition, some individuals also have light stripes on the body.
3) The most recognizable feature of the black mamba is its dark mouth, which is its best warning message when it encounters a threat; its eyes are mainly brown or black.
4. The black mamba snake is large, with an average adult body length of 2.5 meters, while the largest can reach 4.45 meters; its general weight is 1.6 kg. It is the second longest venomous snake in the world, after the King Cobra in Asia. The average lifespan of this snake is 11 years.
Habits of the Black Mamba Snake:
1. The black mamba uses its speed to escape danger instead of chasing prey. Its long-distance movement speed can reach 11-19 km/h, while the highest record for short distances is 16-20km/h, making it the fastest moving snake in the world.
2, the black mamba snake is reclusive, the movement is secretive; when disturbed, it will open its cobra-like neck, open its black mouth and make a "silky" sound. If this does not deter the enemy, it will attack. The black mamba is diurnal.
3. Although their scientific name has the meaning of "tree snake", they are mainly active on the ground. This snake usually retreats when it encounters danger.
Hunting of the Black Mamba Snake:
1. When hunting, the black mamba snake will mainly wait for the prey to approach, and then attack. If the prey struggles, it will attack repeatedly; the black mamba will take different actions depending on the size of the prey:
2. When encountering larger prey, the snake will usually let it escape after the attack is completed, and with the smell, the snake can retrieve the dead prey;
3. However, when dealing with smaller prey, such as birds or rats, the black mamba will bite until the prey stops moving and devours it. They also hunt bats.
7, the world's fastest running animals, the world's fastest running animals are what
Cheetahs now inhabit the plains of southern, central and eastern Africa, where cheetahs are almost extinct. Cheetahs are the fastest animals in the world, reaching up to 100 kilometers per hour. Slender and strong legs and hips are especially suitable for running.
Cheetahs are 140 cm long, not including a 75–80 cm long tail. The average shoulder height is 80 cm, and the weight is 50-60 kg. The fur has a striking black marking, with blue-gray palladium hairs on the head, neck and back. The upper fur is sandy yellow and the lower part is white, with many small black spots on it, and a black stripe extends to the lower corners of both eyes. Cheetahs can catch prey alone or in small groups. They usually set out in the morning or late afternoon, carefully following their prey (often the baby antelope) and then swooping in to catch up.
Asia has a long history of catching and domesticating cheetahs, but it is mainly used for chasing prey, rarely closed in groups to feed. The gestation period of cheetahs is 95 days, and one litter can give birth to 2-4 baby leopards. Cheetahs can be divided into Asian cheetahs and African cheetahs, which are produced in Africa by African cheetahs and by Asian cheetahs in South Asia. African cheetahs are very valuable animals, and Asian cheetahs have also disappeared from many of their former habitats.
8. The shortest-lived animal in the world
The shortest lifespan animal in the world is the ephemera, the adult ephemera does not eat, the life span is short, generally only live a few hours to a few days, so there is a saying of "dying at dusk".
Ephemeroptera ( scientific name : Ephemeroptera ) , commonly known as Ephemeroptera , has an ancient and special trait and is the most primitive winged insect. It can be divided into the paleopterid order with dragonflies, and their wings cannot be folded. Ephemeral insects are slender and soft, usually 3-27mm in length, short antennae, developed compound eyes, larger middle chest, developed forewings, degenerated hindwings, a pair of long tail whiskers at the end of the abdomen, some species also have central tail filaments, juvenile insects are aquatic, adult insects do not feed, lifespan is very short, only one day, but it blooms the most brilliant brilliance in this short life.
Juvenile (juvenile) aquatic, living in freshwater lakes or streams. In the spring and summer, from noon to evening, there are often swarms of male insects for "marriage flight", and the females fly into the group alone to pair with the males. Spawns in water. The eggs are tiny, oval-shaped, of various colors, with a veined surface, sticky, and can attach to debris at the bottom of the water. The juvenile stage is several months to 1 year or more, molting 20 to 24 times, and many can reach 40 times. Mature insects can see 1 to 2 pairs of blackened wing buds. There are pairs of tracheal gills on either side or back, which are respiratory organs suitable for living in water. Eat higher aquatic plants and algae, and some species feed on underwater detritus in autumn and winter. It is often climbed in still water, crawling, or submerged in sediment, or adsorbed in rapids under gravel.
After the juvenile worms have fully grown, they either float to the surface of the water, or climb to the water's edge stones or plant stems, and feather into sub-adults after sunset. Sub-adults are similar to adults and have developed wings, but their body color is dull, their wings are opaque, they have obvious marginal hairs on the posterior margin, and the male gripper is not bent much. Stay on plants near the water after coming out of the water. It usually molts about 24 hours as an adult. This phenomenon of continued molting after the appearance of adult stature in ontology is the only one in the order Ephemera in winged insects. This type of metamorphosis is specifically referred to as protopathy. After the ephemeral grows into an adult, it is not far from the end of its lifespan. So it's the shortest-lived animal in the world.
9, the world's shortest lifespan of fish
The shortest-lived fish in the world is the African Forzeri tail medaka. Scientists have found that this 5 cm long oviparous medaka has only about 6 weeks of life from birth to maturity, mating and ovulation, until death.
This oviparous medaka lives in the short rainy season of Africa's near-equatorial rainforest, which forms many muddy ponds. These ponds are the best habitat for the Ferzeri tail medaka. They mate in the pond and discharge the fish eggs into the muddy bottom of the pond. In just a few weeks, their life course is over. But new life will be born here.
The researchers in charge of the study were Celerina, a neuropathologist at the Italian National Council of Research Association, and Professor VadiSalissi at the Italian Institute of Medaka Fishes, who pointed out: "In the short life of the Fozeri medaka, it is necessary to ovulate 3 times and breed more than 100 medaka. Through research observation, it takes only about 4 weeks for them to grow to full maturity, but they face the end of life in the next two weeks after maturity. ”
Professor Kemnit of the Biological Research Center of the University of Wisconsin said that the study has great value, and this short but mature physiological property can be used in more biological research in the future. Dr. Celerina, who led the study, said the Ferzerine tail medaka would be better used in product development to promote development and prevent aging.
10, the world's shortest snake
The shortest snake in the world known today is the Leptotyphlops carlae.
The "Leptotyphlops carlae" (Leptotyphlops carlae) was found in a forest on the east side of the island of Barbados. The Kara Western Blind Snake is probably the smallest snake in the world, only 10 centimeters long, as thin as spaghetti, small enough to curl up on a coin or clock. In the records, the longest body length of the adult Carla slender blind snake is only 10.4 cm. The case of a cara's slender blind snake side by side with a 24.26 mm diameter 25 cent coin is shown above, which can be used as a proportional reference for the size of this snake.
The cararian blind snake feeds mainly on termites and eggs. The female of this type of thin blind snake can only produce one large snake egg at a time; the size of the newborn juvenile snake is already half the size of the female snake. The cara's blind snake seems to be habitually targeting forest areas, threatening. Based on the fact that a small number of cararian blind snakes are only concentrated in the eastern part of the island of Barbados, its future living space is a rather worrying ecological problem.
The Kara Western Blind Snake is one of the "shortest snakes in the world" that has provoked a strong reaction in the Caribbean island nation of Barbados. Residents of the country have written strongly worded blogs expressing their indignation at an American scientist. It turned out that the American scientist Hyggis announced that he had "discovered" the world's shortest snake and named it "Leptotyphlops carlae", of which "Carla" was his wife's name. He said in the journal Zootaxa that the small snake is so small that it can curl up on a two-and-a-half-cent dollar coin, and that adult snakes will not exceed 10 centimeters. However, many locals do not see it this way: in fact, this snake is common in the local area, and many locals have known this small snake since childhood. Is this also a "new species" that was "discovered" and "named" by an American?
But in any case, it is indeed an indisputable fact that the Kara Western Blind Snake is the shortest snake in the world.
