Many people suffer from arachnophobia, fear of anything spider, a spider web, or anything that looks like a spider. But I'll tell you, the most terrifying spider in the world is a spider that doesn't look like a spider— the Australian whip-shaped spider. It has a long, soft belly that, at first glance, looks like an alien in a science fiction movie!
The terrible thing about whip-shaped spiders is that they disguise themselves as stick worms, so that other spiders think they are their prey and slowly approach... As soon as it gets close, the whip-shaped spider immediately kills back! Yes, this whip-shaped spider feeds on other spiders.
There are many descriptions of vampire bats, here are two more: 1, vampire bats are generally late at night "crime", take advantage of the victim's sleep, it uses sharp teeth to quickly tear open the victim's skin, the enzymes in its saliva can paralyze the nerves, so that the victim does not feel pain for a short time; 2, the enzymes in its saliva also have a role: prevent blood from clotting, so that the vampire bat can continuously enjoy blood.
Scientists in Europe have done an interesting study: why do pigeons become one of the most abundant birds in the city? What is the secret of their adaptation to city life? The answer comes out: pigeons don't mind eating garbage (good at surviving with the help of human power). The picture shows a group of pigeons pecking at discarded expired sushi.
As we all know, the giant freshwater catfish is fierce and huge, and it is the overlord of the river. But in the vast expanse of Siberia, the salmon in the Yenisei River can also grow to an astonishing size, and they occupy the top of the food chain in the river like catfish.
King pigeon – the most successful breed of broiler pigeons bred in Europe (as distinct from carrier pigeons, working pigeons and pet pigeons), a single broiler pigeon weighs up to 1.8 kg and is almost ready to catch up with broilers. This is really a boon for foodies, but I don't know how this meat pigeon tastes after cooking.
As we all know, bats like to hang upside down. But there is one kind of bird that also likes to hang upside down, and that is the bat parrot.
Scientists believe that this special and bizarre upside-down posture is conducive to eating and nesting.
The Darwin Hunter Spider is the nightmare of all cobweb-phobics – this spider can easily weave huge webs of more than 10 meters in diameter, even sealing off entire streams with cobwebs!
Many people have the impression that hedgehogs are gentle animals that eat fruits and wild fruits. But in fact, the hedgehog with sharp teeth is also a ferocious predator, and its prey of interest includes but is not limited to: insects, geckos, lizards, frogs, snakes...
Come and see the newborn baby hedgehog, pink and cute. In order not to harm the mother's birth canal, when the little hedgehog is born, the thorns on the body are all soft, and then it will slowly harden.
An extremely rare scene on the African savannah:
The walking giraffe herd suddenly saw the carcass of a wildebeest in front of it, and for some reason, the wildebeest carcass seemed to arouse great anger from the giraffe herd, and the male giraffe led by the group suddenly grabbed the carcass of the wildebeest and threw it into the air in anger.
Then, an even more bizarre scene occurred— the giraffe grabbed the carcass of the wildebeest and began to chew it. You read that right, giraffes that feed on leaves eat the flesh and bones of wildebeests. Scientists believe that this may be the giraffe to replenish the trace elements lacking in the body.
Speaking of giraffes, we're adding that giraffes are the most defensive herbivores in the African savanna. In general, lions do not dare to attack giraffes easily. Tall giraffes can kick a lion with one kick, and if they are unfortunate enough to be hit by a deer's hoof in the middle of the door, they may even faint or die on the spot.
For the inhabitants of the gravel on the seabed, "flattening" is a broad evolutionary trend, such as flounder, turbot, stingray, and the odd-looking red-lipped batfish below. Its mouth full of stubble and flaming red lips were ridiculous.
Miraculous evolution led to the transformation of the pectoral, ventral and fins into crawling limbs. With these short limbs, it can clumsily crawl on the bottom of the sea.
Turn over and you can see its "legs" more clearly.
The red-lipped batfish will stick out a "mushroom" in its nose, which is a tool it uses to "fish", it shakes the "mushroom" to attract small fish or marine mollusks, and when the prey approaches, it opens its mouth and sucks them into the stomach in an instant.
Just look at this X-ray film and you know that this ugly recipe is really rich: sea snails, shells, shrimp, everything.
The wings of the winged Nighthawk are very special, and two long "streamers" are their symbol.
Flying, they are like dancing cockroach butterflies, and they are highly recognizable.
The flying gecko has a folded membrane on its body, which is spread like wings, and it can use the membrane to complete the gliding between the branches.
The Australian loris is an unknown magical animal. They have large rounded heads and slender tails, and live in trees all year round, eating fruits and insects for a living.
Using claws with curved hooks, they slowly travel through the branches. Like sloths, their metabolic rate is significantly lower than that of other organisms in the same region.
For a long time, people did not believe that there were such primates in the Australian continent, until there were many contacts, people accepted the existence of this kind of dumb-looking "tree loris". Although the appearance is cute, it is not easy to get along. This small animal has an extremely grumpy temper and is difficult to "make peace" with humans.
Saccoritus coronaris – a miraculous paleontology, only a millimeter long , was found in fossils. It survived on Earth about 500 million years ago and is one of the oldest life forms on Earth. Take a look at the dignity of the "old ancestors":
Everyone thinks pigs are dirty because pigs like to roll in muddy pond water.
Pigs do not have long tails and flexible necks, they can not drive flies like cattle and horses, the only thing they can do is to use mud to make a layer of "protective plate" on the body, in the dry mud, the parasite will be stuck, suffocated, and then shed with the mud shell.
