Chapter 435
This news immediately attracted Lu Zhe's attention!
He remembers October 24th, the first time he and Go'er... Wrong!
It was the day the tsunami landed on the volcanic island.
And after a day, on the 25th, it landed in Indo-Mafi and other countries.
Where is that island?
Could it be the Worm Island that once wandered?
He immediately turned his voice to the loudest, and several girls came to listen.
"The tsunami killed more than 3,000 people in coastal areas and left nearly 80,000 homeless, as well as the island's many species of flora and fauna, including island sheep, deer and dolphins, and the thylacine, which is considered extinct, and the presence of the thylacine has attracted the attention of people around the world..."Thylacine
??
Lu Zhe and a few girls immediately thought of the three guys who were still walking around the camp.
Now, the island has been named Thylacine Island in honor of the thylacine that became extinct again. Professor Huang, what is your opinion on this?
An old voice spoke: "First of all, I sympathize and mourn the harm caused by this tsunami to the people in the coastal areas of Southeast Asia, and secondly, as a zoologist and president of the Southeast Asian Wildlife Conservation Association, I regret the second extinction of the thylacine, a creature that was originally considered extinct!" When you ask me my opinion, I can only say that I feel very sorry and regretful, really a pity. Later, I
was a little choked.
Guo'er couldn't help but complain: "He loves thylacines more than humans?
Lu Zhe said: "Shut up, listen!"
Guo'er pouted: "Oh..." The
host said: "Then we invite Miss Rice from Italy, how did you determine that there is a thylacine on this island?" He
said Chinese, and at the same time, someone immediately translated the phrase into English.
It seems that the show has more than just one expert.
A woman spoke in English.
A rather blunt translation of a clear man.
"This is a long story that won't affect your show?"
"It's okay, we're a news talk show, the time is an hour, I'm afraid of the cold, how best can you say!" In case it becomes outdated, I will go and talk to the director. It
can be seen that the host is trying to steer the show into a chattering atmosphere.
Les said: "Actually, this thylacine island has never been discovered before. This is a very rare example in the world.
"Excuse me, since thylacine Island has been discovered for the first time, will there be an island of this size and a thought extinct wildlife on Earth, but it has not been discovered?"
When they talked about this, Lu Zhe and several girls looked at each other, and they all became a little nervous.
"Hehe, this possibility is not very large, because of the globalization of satellites and communication equipment, there are very, very few small islands that are large enough to be discovered, and thylacine Island is an exception, and the satellite signal in its area is jammed."
"So it is!"
Because this is an off-topic sentence, the host did not continue to delve into it: "Then please continue!"
"Let's continue the topic just now, we calculated the length and arc of the seismic wave according to the arrival time of the tsunami in the four Southeast Asian countries, so as to determine the source of the earthquake, and sent a research ship to the field to investigate only to know that the island had just sunk recently."
At that time, only a few rocks remained on the surface of the mountain, a few trees were exposed to the water, and a large area of vegetation was either swallowed by magma or sunk to the bottom. "
How did you find thylacine?"
"We found a dead killer whale on the rocky shore, and while investigating the cause of its death, we found the carcass of a thylacine in its stomach. I immediately contacted the Rare Animal Protection Association. Because this discovery is an extremely important discovery for both human beings and nature!
"That's right, after all, it's an animal that has been extinct for many years." Professor Huang, tell us about the situation at that time?
"At that time... When we received the call, we immediately went to the person, and when we saw it, it was really the corpse of a thylacine, which was torn in two, but it should have been eaten before it was already dead. Hey, when we saw this picture, our whole team cried. We did another DNA test, and finally judged that this is the long-extinct thylacine subspecies, which we named the Australasian thylacine named subspecies.
"Oh, then how to be sure that the thylacine survived for a while on the sunken island?" And not another island? "
Since the thylacine carcass was found, we've surveyed the island with geologists and oceanographers." That is, everyone wears diving equipment, goes into the water to see, take pictures, and then analyze! It turned out that the vegetation area of this island is about 10 square kilometers, and there are thousands of volcanoes of all sizes, and in the process of exploration, we found the carcass of a second thylacine, which is enough to prove that this island was once the habitat of thylacines.
At this time, the woman added: "There are also some eaten rock sheep and monkey carcasses on this island, most of which have broken skulls, which is exactly the same as the special hunting method of thylacines that bite and crush their skulls with wide mouths."
"What a pity!" The host said regretfully, and asked: "Is the bite force of the thylacine that great?"
Professor Huang's voice: "Initially, we studied the images and pictures of thylacines and felt that the bite force of thylacines should be similar to that of powerful wolf dogs. Now really comparing muscles, we find that the thylacine, like its relative kangaroo, is very muscular and has a body fat rate of less than 4%. It can be said that the body is not large, but the body is full of muscles, especially the muscle strength of the two jaws, and the bite force should be comparable to that of a brown bear.
"This is a new discovery?"
"That's right."
"Hypothetically, I'm just saying hypothetically, if we found a live thylacine, what would Cherish the Animal Protection Society do?"
"First of all, we will definitely communicate with the International Marine Organization and immediately set up an ecological protection circle to ensure the breeding population of thylacines and provide them with a high-quality living environment."
......
Continue to listen, it is the moderator and two experts discussing environmental protection.
Several partners looked at each other, and they connected several things from this news conversation.
1. The worm island where Lu Zhe and Asa Shao, Jiang Yao and Guo'er fell before is the thylacine island that sank this time!
2. The last time the wreckage was salvaged, the tsunami encountered was triggered by the sinking of Thylacine Island.
3. With the sinking of Thylacine Island, the thylacine is considered extinct for the second time, but they still have the last three thylacines in the world on their hands.
Lu Zhe nodded: "According to this idea, even if the volcanic island is discovered, it will be an ecological protection circle!"
Jiang Yao said, "Then they will drive us away!" Sister
Bing pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Will the three thylacines agree?" "
