In 1981, the crested ibis, which had disappeared from the earth for more than 20 years, reappeared in Qinling, China. There were only 7 of them that year, which can be said to be no less rare than the national treasure panda. But why did the crested ibis not become a national treasure of China, but a national treasure of Japan? Known as the "living fossil of the East", the crested ibis has an ancient history and has lived and bred on the earth for 25.5 million years, which can be said to be a veritable "living fossil". So why didn't the crested ibis become a national treasure? That's because there were only 7 crested ibises found at that time, and it was determined that they were national treasures or national birds, and in case the crested ibises suddenly became extinct, it was really not good to use extinct birds as national birds or national treasures.

So why isn't Japan afraid?

When was the panda identified as a national treasure?

Do you know what the original name of the crested ibis is?
