I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 623 No Buying, No Killing, Extinct Northern White Rhino in the Wild!

In the footage of the live broadcast room, the huge monster covered in mud made the water friends in the live broadcast room happy to see it.

Although during the previous voyage of Lin Yang's sea travel, when passing through Southeast Asia, everyone has seen another species of rhinoceros, the one-horned rhinoceros.

It's just that the rhinoceros that appeared in the footage of the live broadcast room at this moment looks very big, much bigger than the one-horned rhinoceros.

"The anchor is indeed the lucky one, Ou Huang himself, he said yesterday that he was lucky enough to meet a white rhinoceros, and he was actually photographed today."

"Sit down, Ji Caowu 6, a ten-year old fan, very calm."

"Indeed, on the way of the anchor's sea trip, luck is outrageous. We old fans are no strangers to it."

"I understand the truth, but why is this rhino so big?"

"The white rhinoceros is indeed not white."

After all, Lin Yang has also popularized the reason for the oolong naming of the white rhino before, so when the white rhino that the water friends saw in the camera was not white, it was not too surprising, after all, everyone was prepared in their hearts.

Yue'er jokingly said: "It stands to reason that I should buy a lottery ticket after absorbing Brother Yang's European spirit, but unfortunately, there is no lottery station in our Hanas Wildlife Reserve."

All of a sudden, the girl fell into the big thinking of life.

I can't do anything, Xiao Yang's European energy is in vain.
Even so, at the same time Lin Yang was lucky enough to find the white rhinoceros, a barrage of 'wish' floated across the barrage messages in the live broadcast room.

"The anchor helped me get the ssr, and I will get lobsters when I open the box tonight!"

"Bless me to pass CET-6!"

"My subject two depends on you, the host."

There are countless messages like this in an instant.

Yue'er looked at the screen in the live broadcast room, and was speechless for a moment. If she hadn't sucked up Xiao Yang's European spirit just now, maybe there wouldn't be so many sand sculpture netizens following suit.

Seeing that Lin Yang's live broadcast room was about to be turned into a wishing temple qaq.

However, regarding the ridicule and jokes of the water friends in the live broadcast room, Lin Yang said with a smile: "Actually, the white rhinoceros species is indeed characterized by a wide body and a fat body. They are the first among terrestrial vertebrates. The second largest colossal animal."

Yue'er took over the conversation and said, "I know, the biggest one is the African elephant. We have seen it in the live broadcast before."

Hearing what Yue'er said, Lin Yang nodded with a smile, and then he added: "The size of the white rhinoceros is second only to African elephants and Asian elephants."

"From the point of view of the rhinoceros alone, its individual size is larger than that of the Indian rhinoceros. According to incomplete statistics by wildlife scientists, the body length of the white rhinoceros is about 3.4-4.2 meters, and the length of the tail is 0.55. -0.65 meters, shoulder height 1.7-2.1 meters, and a maximum weight of 3600 kilograms."

"Of course, the data of 3600 kilograms is limited to wild white rhinos. Among the recorded data, captive non-wild white rhinos have records of more than 4000 kilograms!"

What is this concept?This is a behemoth weighing 8000 jin.

Although the size and weight of white rhinos are considered outstanding, like other types of rhinos, their hearing is sensitive, but their eyesight is not good, which may also be related to their small eyes.

The main habitat types of white rhinos are tropical and subtropical grasslands and subtropical savannahs and shrublands.They require relatively flat terrain in the area where they live, with shrubs as cover, and rich pastures and water sources.

White rhinos are mainly active in the evening and early morning, and Lin Yang and Yueer are going to the Hanas Wildlife Sanctuary right now, which happens to be early in the morning, so it is considered the right time, place and people.

In short, good luck.

White rhinos like to roll in muddy pools and gauze river beds, so the great white rhino that appears in the camera is covered in thick mud.

Yue'er said curiously: "Brother Yang, is there any difference between the southern white rhino and the extinct northern white rhino? Or is it just that they live in different areas?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "Except for the different geographical locations of the activities, there are still some small differences between them."

As one of the oldest species on the earth, the rhinoceros originated about 3 million years ago, while the white rhinoceros, the most recognized subspecies among them, was born on the earth about 000 million years ago.

However, when rhino horns were put a high price tag by humans, it seemed that a causal seed was planted for the extinction of the northern white rhino.

There is no doubt that Yueer's questions in many cases can directly express the aspirations of the water friends in the live broadcast room.

After all, before that, when Lin Yang popularized science about the extinct northern white rhinoceros and the southern white rhinoceros still surviving in the wild.

What everyone can understand is that the former lives in the north of the African continent and is now extinct, while the latter lives in the south of Africa.

In addition, what is the difference between these two rhino subspecies is what everyone is curious about.

Lin Yang didn't give a shit, he said directly: "Now everyone can't see the head of this southern white rhinoceros. The difference between the northern and southern white rhinoceros is that the forehead is slightly sunken. To put it bluntly, the head looks a little different. "

At the same time, the white rhinoceros discovered by Lin Yang seemed to be giving a lot of face.

It moved its fat, mud-covered body, and its head appeared in the shot.

In the footage in the live broadcast room, the southern white rhino recorded by Lin Yang is different from the one-horned rhino seen by water friends in Southeast Asia.

Apart from the physique, the horns on the head are the most different. As the name suggests, the one-horned rhinoceros has only one horn, but the white rhinoceros has two horns, and the two horns on the head of the white rhinoceros are one in front and one behind, one big and one small.

Lin Yang went on to say: "The horn of the white rhino is also the longest among all rhino species. The longest recorded rhino horn is 158.7 cm, which can be regarded as unique."

Hearing this, Yue'er opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise: "A rhino horn that is close to 1 meters? It's almost as tall as an adult woman."

At the same time, she seems to have vaguely realized why the northern white rhino became extinct.

Immediately afterwards, Yue'er tentatively asked: "Brother Yang, so the extinction of the northern white rhino has something to do with their huge rhino horns?"

Lin Yang nodded slightly, and then replied, "Be more confident and remove the mask."

In the live broadcast room, the audience seemed to understand.

"I heard that rhino horn has medicinal value before, so the selling price is generally very high, and there are always some people who like to use animal horns to make bead dishes, just like making chopsticks from ivory. It is simply incomprehensible!"

"It's still the same sentence, if there is no business, there will be no killing!"

"Now that the northern white rhino is extinct, what's the point of talking about it?"

"To be reasonable, are the horns and teeth of those animals really of such high value?"

"In my opinion, it's just wild and rare, and it can satisfy the vanity of some people. It's nothing! I'm a little angry qaq."

Yue'er glanced at the bullet-screen comments in the live broadcast room, and she nodded repeatedly to agree with the views of individual water friends.

Are the horns on the heads of those animals and the teeth in the mouths, even the bones of tigers and the scales of pangolins, really so valuable?

Maybe it's just because they are wild and rare, which happens to satisfy the vanity of some special people.

In short, money burns panic!
In the previous market, the horns, skin, flesh, blood, bones and viscera of white rhinos had great economic value.

In particular, rhino horn is used to make the handle of the traditional machete, and it has been a famous precious medicinal material since ancient times. It is said that it has the functions of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and stopping bleeding, and can be used as a cooling agent for relieving blood heat.Since Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, rhino horns have flowed into China.

As of 2012, each gram is around 2000 RMB, which is 10 times the value of gold of the same weight!
In the 60s, in the Longguo medicine market, the value of rhino horn per kilogram was 9600 yuan, which was 165 times that of Cordyceps sinensis!
When Lin Yang displayed the data obtained through species analysis, like rhinos that had been hunted, to all the water friends in the live broadcast room.

These figures are undoubtedly embarrassing.

For some wild animals, whether it is on the top of the head, in the mouth, or even on the nose, as long as there is a horn, someone will definitely take it off, make a piece of it to hang around the neck, or polish it into a horn. Small strings, made into bracelets or necklaces.

These seem to be a symbol of status, or carved statues to pray for peace.

Although Lin Yang's camera is still recording, the quiet southern white rhino in the early morning has a lot of thoughts in the hearts of the audience. It is really ironic to dissect the essence behind the so-called art transactions.

However, what surprised the audience even more.

Under the curious eyes of Yue'er beside her and thousands of water friends in the live broadcast room.

Lin Yang went on to say: "In addition to satisfying the vanity of some people, rhino horns are used for decoration, and many people even believe that they have the effect of curing diseases and fighting cancer. Danger."

The extinction of a species, if there is no natural disaster, may require tens of thousands of years of evolution of the climate and environment.

Although the water friends in the previous live broadcast room have roughly understood the story behind the extinction of the northern white rhino through Lin Yang's few words.

Behind the high price, countless poachers have taken risks. Even though not everyone has paid attention to rhinos, most people actually watch the pictures of rhinos being cut off by poachers and then tragically dying in the wild. been there.

It is conceivable that when it is not like a magic stick, it is used as a raw material for decorations to pray for blessings and eliminate evil spirits, and it is also greedy by some businessmen for its medicinal value that can treat or slow down cancer. The combination of these factors has created some Subspecies of rhinoceros have suffered unparalleled suppression in specific habitat ecological environments.

Human beings are at the top of today's food chain. If it is only for food, it may be so-called the law of the jungle, and it is difficult for a species to become extinct quickly.

But some people who like it not only want to eat it, but also wear it, and even use it as medicine.

Hearing Lin Yang's short words, Yue'er subconsciously glanced at the big fat white rhino not far away.

The girl whispered, "The big rhinos have provoked someone. They just want to survive on the grass in the lake and swamp."

"Fortunately, the relevant illegal activities now have a lot of legal protection, otherwise they might become extinct in the near future."

In the live broadcast room, careful water friends naturally noticed that Lin Yang mentioned "a small number of people" more than once.

After all, there are only a small number of people who like wildlife-related gray industrial chain products, and most people still have the consciousness to protect wild animals.

On the one hand, it is because of poverty, and on the other hand, it is because of the goodness of human nature.

It is undeniable that no matter how many gray areas there are in the world, no matter how many darkness there are in invisible corners, there are still more good people in this world, and there must be more.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was filled with righteous indignation. Obviously, most people still have the same idea in this regard.

"The medicinal materials for treating cancer, in my opinion, are nothing more than the despicable means of driving up prices by those illegal businessmen."

"I don't know if tiger bones, pangolin scales, and shark's fins can cure diseases, but it's not difficult to find that they have a common feature, that is, they are wild and expensive."

"The anchor has popularized knowledge about shark fin before. Although I can afford it, I will never eat this kind of thing."

"I remember that when the last male northern white rhino was protected, human beings put in a lot of effort, but they still couldn't save it. It is easy to exterminate a species, but it is difficult to protect it!"

Relying on Lin Yang's previous analysis of species through system capabilities, he has all the information about the discovered creatures in his hands.

Therefore, if Lin Yangyin were to analyze the story behind the rhinoceros, a subspecies of white rhinoceros, he could even talk about it for three days and three nights.

Of course, the main purpose of their trip to Hanas Wildlife Sanctuary early in the morning was to find A-level rare creatures. Although this white rhinoceros was also a species discovered by radar, it was not Lin Yang's ultimate goal.

Therefore, Lin Yang will naturally simplify the problems related to the white rhino.

But even so, Lin Yang will naturally explain more about the aspects that the water friends in the live broadcast room are interested in.

"Wrong information about rhino horns because of rumors, which in turn further compresses and destroys the habitat of rhinos, which is obviously one of the reasons for the extinction of the northern white rhino."

Lin Yang went on to say: "However, after modern medicine analyzes the composition of rhino horn through experiments, it gives a very absurd conclusion!"

Lin Yang's words made everyone very curious.

What is this so-called ridiculous conclusion?

Although most of the water friends in the live broadcast room can understand in theory, many rare wild animals have magical medicinal properties, and most of them are commercial scams that smell of capital copper.
But how useless are things like rhino horns, tiger bones, and pangolin scales?
Especially the rhino horn that everyone doesn't know much about.

In fact, not many people know about it.

In the footage of the live broadcast room, the southern white rhinoceros happily rolling in the mud didn't seem too excited after discovering Lin Yang and Yue'er.

Compared with other terrestrial vertebrates, and even other subspecies of rhinoceros, the white rhinoceros can be regarded as a relatively docile large animal.
