Preamble:
The crocodile is an ancient reptile with a primitive and mysterious temperament, which often becomes the object of people's research and exploration. In China, there is actually a unique crocodile, that is, the Chinese alligator.
Compared with other types of crocodiles, the Chinese crocodile is more docile and has an irresistible cuteness in appearance, so it is also known as the "cutest crocodile" and is loved by people.
It is reported that in a pond in Shuangkeng Village, Qinxi Town, Jing County, Anhui Province, the villagers found a super-large Yangtze crocodile, and this crocodile is also very close to the crowd and appears frequently.
For this sudden "guest", the local villagers came to watch, and for a while, it became a popular spot for people to explore.
The Chinese alligator is a national first-class key protected wild animal, and the Chinese alligator that can appear here is likely to be artificially released, so how was it artificially bred and released?
First, the Yangtze crocodile took the initiative to "go ashore" and get close to the crowd
A piece of news about the Chinese alligator spread on the Internet, this is not a small guy, but a large Chinese alligator more than 1 meter long, and it is also very close to the crowd, often "ashore" to bask in the sun, such a scene is not uncommon in the local area.
According to local villagers, this giant alligator has been in the local pond for more than a year, and is very close to the crowd, often coming to the vicinity of the village to "bask in the sun", which has become a major local landscape.
For such "guests", the local villagers are also full of curiosity, have come to watch, and this has gradually become a popular attraction for people to explore, here, you can see the life of the Chinese crocodile up close, to satisfy people's curiosity.
It is understood that the Chinese alligator that can appear here is likely to be artificially released, that is, it is the product of artificial breeding, and it can survive smoothly and live in peace with people, and it is inseparable from people's protection and care.
2. The Chinese alligator was named "the cutest crocodile"
Compared with other species of crocodiles, the Chinese crocodile does have an irresistible face, and its appearance presents a special "pleasing" temperament, like a big teddy bear, which makes people want to come forward and get close.
Even in the wild, the alligator will rarely "frighten" other animals, on the contrary, it will often be liked by other animals, become their "good friend", and become a beautiful landscape.
In the minds of human beings, the Chinese alligator is unanimously rated as the "cutest crocodile", and such a title is naturally inseparable from its gentle personality and pleasing appearance, which is irresistible.
Although the Chinese alligator looks very docile and even a little "honest", it is a carnivore after all, and when it survives in the wild, it mainly feeds on various animals, such as snails, mussels, fish and shrimp, etc., and also preys on some water birds.
Its bite is so powerful that it can easily crush even hard turtle shells, so it is necessary to maintain a certain distance when coming into contact with humans to avoid accidents.
3. Chinese alligators were artificially bred and released
The fact that Chinese alligators can appear frequently in the local area and live in peace with people is inseparable from people's protection and care, and it is also through artificial breeding and release.
In fact, this is not uncommon these days, and there have been many years of captive breeding and release of wild animals to better protect them, and there have been some positive results.
The so-called artificial breeding and release is not "arbitrarily" selected animals for release, but needs to go through some "prudent" screening and investigation, and only animals that meet certain conditions can be released into a specific area.
For example, the alligator habitat that once inhabited here can only adapt to their surroundings and start a new life.
After the release, the relevant departments and experts will also "follow" them for a period of time to understand their survival status, and there will even be some "unexpected surprises", just like this big Chinese alligator.
Through the planned release, it can not only effectively protect and control the population and distribution of Chinese alligators, but also let more people know about their cuteness and promote people's awareness of wildlife protection.
Fourth, there are also people in the people who are protecting the Chinese alligator
In the protection work, in addition to the government and relevant departments, there are also some "enthusiastic" people who are silently protecting wild animals, including the Chinese alligator.
For example, among the Yangtze crocodiles that recently appeared in Nanling County, Wuhu, Anhui Province, there is a "crocodile guard", his name is Zhang Jinyin, and he is a "tightrope" worker with unique skills.
Zhang Jinyin's usual job is to "shuttle freely" between buildings, which requires a certain amount of skill and courage, and in his mind, protecting the Yangtze crocodile is no different from protecting the building, both require a peaceful heart and wonderful "skills".
He applied his skills to the protection of wild animals, becoming a "crocodile keeper" and bringing a "second spring" to local wildlife.
Through his efforts, the local alligators have been better protected and cared for, and more people have learned about the unique charm of the Chinese alligators, which has a very positive significance for the protection of wild animals.
Epilogue:
I believe that through the spread of this news, more and more people will have a strong interest in the Chinese alligator, and they will also feel the unique charm of wild animals, and understand that the protection of wild animals is not far away from us.
I hope that through the joint efforts of everyone, we can contribute to the protection of wild animals, whether it is Chinese alligators or other rare animals, we can enjoy a happy life under the care of people.
At the same time, it is also hoped that the relevant departments can strengthen the protection of wild animals, and increase the attention and support for "crocodile guards" and other conservation personnel, so that the protection of wild animals can be better carried out and more people pay attention to and participate.
