Chapter 1 799 refers to the lemur

‘Dad, what kind of magical creatures will there be in such a large forest! Feifei said, looking at his father again. Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘Since it’s a large forest, of course there will be various animals. ’

‘Dad, should we be more careful, in this underground forest, we don’t know if there are some terrible animals. Feifei said again.

‘Yes, we still have to be careful. Such a large underground forest, of course, will have all kinds of unexpected magical animals. "Zhao Zhongyao feels that such a large underground forest will definitely have all kinds of magical animals.

In this way, Zhao Zhongyao took Feifei and walked into this large underground forest. At first, they felt that this large underground forest was very quiet. Not even a bird can be seen, and there are no small animals on the ground.

Feifei also curiously said, ‘Dad, in this vast underground forest, there will be no animals and no animals! If there are no animals, then we can easily get that amethyst gem. ’

After hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘If that’s the case, then that’s fine. We can leave this large underground forest soon. ’

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei continued to move forward while talking. It may be that they feel that there are no animals in this large underground forest, and they can quickly walk to the depths of this large underground forest.

But when the two of them walked forward a certain distance, they suddenly heard a knocking sound in front of them. This kind of sound seemed unusually abrupt in this silent forest. Both Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were taken aback.

‘Boom! Boom! ---’

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei heard a knocking sound from the big tree in front of them. Something seems to be hitting the trees.

Originally, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei hadn't heard any more sounds since they entered this large underground forest. But this sudden sound made the two of them feel particularly scared.

After all, the two of them haven't heard anything since they entered this large underground forest. This large underground forest, like a painting, unfolded in front of them.

But this sudden sound made them both feel very unbelievable. I don't know what made these sounds.

‘Dad, what is the sound in front of you. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked.

After hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘how do I know what the sound is. However, since there is a sound, there must be some magical animal. ’

‘Is it a big animal? Feifei looked horrified.

Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘It won’t be a large animal! Since the sound came from the tree. That means that this animal should live on a tree. ’

When Feifei heard Zhao Zhongyao say this, he thought for a while and said, ‘Will it be a woodpecker? Listening to this sound should be the sound of a woodpecker pecking at the bark. ’

Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei's words and said, ‘When we went into this underground forest just now, we didn’t see any birds. Since there are no birds in this forest, how could this sound be the sound of a woodpecker! ’

Feifei heard what Dad said, and nodded, ‘what Dad said is that there should be no birds and animals in this underground forest. If anything, we should hear the birds chirping now. ’

‘Go, let’s go ahead and see. After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao walked forward with his son again.

They followed this voice. But after they walked for a while. The voice stopped abruptly.

Now, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei didn't know what the sound was about. They had no choice but to continue walking forward.

Only after Feifei walked a certain distance, she suddenly felt the top of the branch in front of him sway, and it seemed that some animal was jumping on it.

Feifei took a closer look and saw a guy covered in black. This guy looks like a monkey. But it doesn't feel like it. The look is very scary, the two big eyes are very big, and the two ears are also very big.

It looks like it is not an ordinary animal. Although somewhat like a monkey. But it's not as cute as a monkey. This animal looks like a little demon. If you don't look carefully, you will feel it looks like a big bat.

This little animal is not very big, only more than 30 centimeters in height, and looks like a little monkey.

'what! What kind of animal is this? When Feifei saw this little animal, he yelled.

Although he yelled, the little animal did not run far. Maybe it doesn't know what the two humanoid animals standing in front of him are. It also looked at Feifei curiously, not knowing what type of animal Feifei belonged to.

After Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei's cry, he walked over. Just want to know what Feifei saw.

Zhao Zhongyao walked up to Feifei and saw that it turned out to be a small animal like a little monkey jumping around on the branches in front.

Zhao Zhongyao just looked at this little animal, and he knew what the sound they heard just now was.

‘Dad, do you know this little animal? When Feifei watched his father walk up to him, he looked at his father and asked.

Zhao Zhongyao stared at this little animal for a while and said, ‘This little animal is very similar to an animal on the earth called a finger lemur. ’

Feifei heard what Dad said, and said, ‘Dad, what do you mean by lemur! ’

After hearing what Feifei said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘I still have some understanding of this kind of finger lemur. Let me tell you about it! ’

After speaking, Zhao Zhongyao explained some knowledge about pointing lemurs.

Means that lemurs belong to the Lemur family of primates. Wild lemurs only exist in Madagascar. The appearance of the lemur is similar to that of bats. It is the only species of primate mammals that uses echolocation to hunt. The lemur is an unusual distant relative of humans.

The appearance of the lemur is similar to that of bats. It is the only species of primate mammals that uses echolocation to hunt. The lemur is an unusual distant relative of humans. Their living habits are very special. They live in a spherical nest with a small hole for easy access. They will tap the trunk with their long, slender **** to find delicious insects, and then use the **** to catch the insects. The indigenous people on the island of Madagascar have a deep-rooted superstition about finger lemurs, and they usually kill them as soon as they see finger lemurs.

Refers to the danger of extinction of lemurs. Perhaps because of their unusually big eyes and big ears, the indigenous people of Madagascar believe that the finger lemurs are "demons" or will bring bad luck to people, so the local superstitious residents hunted the finger lemurs aggressively. According to the World Conservation Union, the lemurs are facing extinction. The increasing disappearance of habitat and other threats mean that the lemur species has become very vulnerable. In order to effectively protect the finger lemurs, scientists are trying to understand the living habits and existing population of this mysterious animal.

Because of the uniqueness of the lemur, humans are now trying to protect this ugly animal. Apart from looks, why should we protect it? First of all, it is the largest nocturnal primate in the world, and it has a higher position in the animal pantheon. They are very light, weighing only 2.5 kg, and there is no difference between the sexes except for a slight difference in weight. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish Mr. Finger Lemur from Mrs. Finger Lemur! The strange thing is that the lemur can hang upside down on the branches JP. Can be described as superb skills.

In addition to being the world's largest nocturnal primate, the finger lemur also has a unique feeding tool, but unfortunately, this has also become one of the reasons for its persecution. Its fingers are extremely long and thin, and when released, it feels like a witch in a fairy tale. To make matters worse, the **** is 3 times longer than the other fingers. It used this finger to search for the larva hidden in the tree hole, but it looked terrifying indeed.

The third finger of a lemur is thin and long, almost entirely bone, with a skin-covered tendon attached to the outside. The finger lemur taps the branch with this slender finger in search of its favorite food-insect larvae. When it hits the branch, it uses its large but hairless ears to hear the sound of the wormholes of insect larvae. If so, the lemur will use its sharp teeth to bite open the bark, stick its slender fingers into the wormhole and hook out the worm.

Because the lemurs search for food at night, researchers have to work at night for several years to study their living habits. Sterling wants to know what the lemurs eat and how much living space they need to survive. Sterling spent two years tracking these animals on an island near Madagascar.

Sterling puts a radio collar on several fingered lemurs to keep track of them. "This way I can track these animals at night and see what they are doing from waking up in the evening to sleeping in the morning." Since the lemur is active and eating 80% of the night, this makes Sterling always ready to start work. It's tiring, but worth it. Her research has allowed conservation experts to accurately calculate the size and location of the finger lemur sanctuary and know how to take care of the finger lemurs captured.

Sterling even has a more optimistic estimate of the number of finger lemurs on Madagascar. Decades ago, scientists believed that the finger lemurs were almost extinct because they were rarely seen. Sterling's research allows us to estimate the number of finger lemurs based on their traces even when no one has seen them. "Now we can distinguish between the traces that a lemur has eaten and the traces that a rodent has eaten, and the nest of lemurs and the nests of other animals," Sterling explained.

These clues provide us with good news that the distribution of lemurs is far more common than we thought. Even so, the finger lemurs are still in danger of extinction. This is not only because of its ghostly bad reputation, but more importantly, it refers to the serious threat of habitat destruction like other lemurs.

When they lose their forest homes, they will turn to coconut, sugar cane, and mango grown by humans as food. And farmers will kill these animals to protect their crops. Fortunately, the finger lemurs have many human friends who care about them. Many people from Madagascar and all over the world, as well as Mr. President of the Democratic Republic of Madagascar, worked together to gradually expand the existing protected areas.

All of these are to protect finger lemurs and other wild animals and plants. The zoo is also trying to artificially feed the finger lemurs. But this has proved difficult. There are only 10 zoos in the world with 32 lemurs that are artificially fed. You can see 20 finger lemurs knocking on branches at the Duke University Primate Center-this is the only place in North America where you can see finger lemurs.

Looking at Feifei, Zhao Zhongyao talked about this knowledge about pointing lemurs. After Feifei listened, she felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge.

‘Dad, that said, the little animal we see now also refers to the lemur. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei’s words and said, ‘It should be a finger lemur. The knocking sound we heard just now must have come from knocking the tree pole. However, this finger lemur is much larger than the finger lemur on earth. Moreover, the appearance is not the same as that on earth. This one means that the lemur has a larger body. ’

After hearing what my father said, Feifei said again, ‘then this one means that the lemur is not hostile to us! Will it attack us. ’

Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei’s words and said, ‘if we don’t attack them. They will certainly not attack us. Don't forget, this is Mars. The animals above have never seen humans. This large underground forest may have existed here for tens of millions of years. But for tens of millions of years, no humans have reached this place. ’

‘Dad, since it won’t attack us. Then can we ignore it. Can we continue to move forward? Feifei said again.

‘Okay, let’s keep going! After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao wanted to ignore the lemur, he wanted to continue walking forward.

But Feifei just wanted to leave here, when the lemur suddenly jumped from the branch to Feifei's body.

Feifei didn't expect the lemur to attack him. For a time, he felt very scared.

‘Dad, what can I do, it’s jumping on me. Feifei was a little worried when he saw that the finger lemur suddenly jumped on him.
