If goats are listed as one of the "one of the world's top 100 most threatening invasive species", you will definitely think I'm joking. Goats have caused extremely serious damage to the ecology of many places. Countless turfs were eaten up by them, and even the desertification in Australia was severely intensified by the existence of goats.
climbing expert in the animal world. Even on the steep rock walls, it cannot prevent the goat from climbing and eating grass. However, if a two-goat stands on the rock wall, you may lament the hardships of survival, but if a group of goats sweep away the remaining grassroots on the rock wall, it will definitely be a terrible ecological disaster.
Many places in the world live in harmony with goats. As early as decades ago, a "human and sheep war" was staged in the Cloned Islands. The cause of everything was caused by a fishing boat stranded near the archipelago in 1959. The rescue operation was in a hurry and there was only time to rescue the trapped fishermen. The three goats who went out to sea with the boat ran to the island by chance and survived. Without the threat of natural enemies, these three goats seemed to have come to heaven. Crazy gnawing on all the plants on this island, in just thirty years, the goat population has expanded to a terrifying 250,000.
At this time, the Colon Islands is no longer as green as before. From the air, it seems to have become a black and yellow purgatory land. The native species on the island have also died in large numbers due to food shortages. The unique Galapagos turtle population reduction speed is inversely proportional to the expansion speed of goats, and has been reduced from the original 200,000 to less than 5,000. On this closed island, goats are more violent than tigers.
The battle between people and sheep broke out under this situation. In order to eliminate goats and restore the ecology on the island, the local government sent troops to start encircling and suppressing goats, but the results were very little. In the wild environment, people are no match for goats at all. Although goats have low attacks, their escape skills are extremely high, and even well-trained soldiers find it difficult to hit goats moving at high speed. Goats have strong reproductive ability. With just a small island, how many soldiers can be dispatched to fight the goat elimination war?
Without helpless, the government can only ask the military to dispatch helicopters to hunt goats from the air. The battle lasted for a whole year, and the large-scale flock finally disappeared from the island, but the remaining small number of elites brought the essence of guerrilla warfare to the extreme. The members of the "Goat Commando" could distinguish the sound of the helicopter, so as to effectively hide their bodies before the helicopter arrives, avoid the pursuit, and use the perfection of the enemy's advance and retreat.
However, no matter how smart the goat is, it will eventually be difficult for the "beauty". After the helicopter encirclement failed, the goat hunter changed his strategy and put the female goat with GPS positioning equipment into the battlefield, and finally completely eliminated the goat population. At this time, it was already 2006, and the human-sheep war lasted for more than ten years. Until now, the ecology of the Cologne Islands has not been fully restored.
The biggest reason why goats can fly over the eaves and walk on the wall is their horizontal pupils. Unlike human eyes, the flat pupils of goats give them an ultra-wide perspective. It is precisely because of this unique structure that they have lost the concept of height. No matter how steep the cliff is, from the perspective of a goat, it is no different from the flat ground. So the goats are not afraid of heights, but they can't see that there is a deep abyss under their feet.
The second magic weapon for goats to travel around the world is the special toe-toe hoof structure. This structure allows them to firmly grasp the steep rock walls, just like wearing the most fashionable and durable hiking shoes. Even though the road ahead is difficult, I will go!
Do you think this is over? The tragic situation on Clon Island is just the tip of the goat's powerful destructive power. The Australian continent on the other side of the ocean is also deeply suffering from goats. Mainland Australia is a paradise for herbivores, and there are no large carnivores here.Rabbits and camels have found their own paradise here, which has become the most troublesome problem for the Australian government. Being the main force of herbivores, of course, I also found a suitable soil for my survival here.
Goats are typical alien species for mainland Australia. During the Great British colonial period, the entire continent was regarded as a remote place for exiled prisoners by the British. The prisoners took the goats to Australia as food reserves. But when I arrived in Australia, I found that sheep are far higher than goats in terms of taste and milk production rate. These goats were let go. Free movement on this unknown continent. There is no natural enemy. Let the goat population fission at an extremely terrifying speed. As a big eater among herbivores, there is nothing that goats don’t eat. Grassroots, leaves and even bark can become delicious foods for goats to fill their belly, which makes Australia, which is already troubled by desertification, worsens. The grassland was exposed, and even the leaves were not spared. The flock of goats was like the locust plague , and no grass grew wherever they passed.
is prominently irreconcilable and will inevitably break out after it is irreconcilable. The Australian government has also begun to hunt goats and restore the ecological environment in one phase. In Australia, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, goats have a very broad strategic depth. The hunting and killing lasted vigorously for a year but had little effect. The speed of hunting and killing was far from keeping up with the reproduction speed of the sheep, and the number of sheep increased instead of decreasing. In desperation, the Australian government also dispatched helicopters to launch an air strike on the flock, but this place is not a small cloned archipelago. The flock of sheep fled in all directions amid the roar of the helicopter. The helicopter also lost its due role. After spending a lot of money, only hundreds of goats were killed. The Australian government's sheep hunting plan became an absolute joke.
Until now threats to goat state environment. The threat of goats to the Australian ecological environment remains. The Australian government racked its brains. In the end, I had to give up helplessly. Australia's dilemma has sparked heated discussions among netizens on the Internet. Netizens have said that there is no need to be so troublesome. More than 100,000 Chinese people have solved the goat problem in minutes. Some netizens also asked questions, why not eat the goat? Compared to kangaroo meat, goats are much more delicious.
Australia is known as the "country on the back of the sheep". What is not short of is lamb and goat milk. The status of mutton in Australia is similar to that of Chinese pork. It is good quality and cheap. Moreover, goats have a very strong smell. Australians, who mainly grill, cannot cover up the taste. It can be said that goat meat has no market in Australia. In fact, even if there is a market, with Australia’s sparse population of less than 30 million, how much can it eat?
