Recently, Mr. Guo from Harbin found that something was wrong with his fish pond. He could not see a few fish in the fish pond that had originally raised three or four thousand kilograms. There was no way, he could only drain the fish pond and find the reason.
When the fish pond was about to dry out, a hissing sound came from the grass. Mr. Guo was shocked when he saw it and saw a giant python weighing about 100 kilograms lying in the grass.
Finally, the giant python was successfully caught. After identification, this is a " red-tailed anaconda ". So, what is the origin of the red-tailed anaconda?
01 Morphological characteristics
Red-tailed anaconda, the biggest feature is that its tail is red. The adult red-tailed anaconda is 1.8-3 meters long and weighs 20-30 kilograms. So far, the longest red-tailed anaconda has been found in the Republic of Suriname, with a length of 4.27 meters and a weight of more than 100 kilograms.
Their skin is reddish-brown, and the back is made of brown-yellow markings. Because of human breeding, white, salmon-colored red-tailed anacondas have been hatched.
02 Distribution range
Red-tailed anaconda is mainly distributed in Mexico northern, Central America and South America, and is a species in tropical and subtropical regions.
03 Living habits
Red-tailed anacondas mainly live in tropical rainforest areas and are good at climbing trees. They have a wide range of recipes, including mammals, mice, birds, and lizards. They even hunt large cats, such as tigers and cats .
04 Why does it appear in Harbin?
Judging from the distribution range and living habits of red-tailed anaconda, it is only distributed abroad, and there are giant pythons in China only in the southern part of our country. Why does red-tailed anaconda appear in Mr. Guo’s fish pond?
red-tailed anaconda appears in fish ponds, which is most likely to be farmed by man, then release or escape, and then sneak into the fish pond. There are two main reasons:
1. Wild red-tailed anaconda weighs more than 50 kilograms, which has reached 100 kilograms, which is obviously not a species in nature;
2. There have been no wild giant pythons in northern my country, because the temperature that is most suitable for giant pythons to survive is above 30 degrees and below 30 degrees. They will stop growing and may even die.
Therefore, this red-tailed anaconda is most likely to be released by artificially.
05 As a pet's red-tailed anaconda, can it be raised in China?
The answer is no, because the red-tailed anaconda belongs to the national second-class protected animal . Although my country does not have a red-tailed anaconda, the red-tailed anaconda is included in the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora" by Argentina , and my country is also within the convention.
In June 2020, in Wuzhong District, Jiangsu Province, a man Feng illegally raised 32 red-tailed anacondas and sold them online, and was released on bail pending trial.
Conclusion
As the saying goes: the weirder you look, the faster you are; the ugly you look, the longer you are. As our country's ecological environment becomes better and better, there are some unknown species that have occurred artificially. When we discover it, when we ensure our own safety, remember to call the police as soon as possible and hand it over to the people's police for treatment. #Telebrity Creation Challenge#
