In recent years, my country has paid great attention to the transformation of the ecological environment. The forest increase and forest cultivation work in each province has been continuously promoted. The forest coverage rate of is increasing. I believe everyone can also feel that the natural environment around us is becoming more and more superior, and a large number of wetlands, forests and lakes have emerged.
The ecological environment has become more superior, so the number of animals will naturally increase. Everyone can clearly feel that many extremely rare protected animals have also appeared one after another. For example, a second-level protected animal, red-footed boobies, appeared in Shanghai, a bee monkey, , was found in Pu'er City, Yunnan, and an eagle suddenly became injured and landed on the ground in Jinjiang, Quanzhou.
. Just recently, the camera of Duheyuan National Nature Reserve in Shiyan, Hubei recorded a rare species, yellow-throated mink . It is national second-class protected animal . This yellow-throated mink is the same size as fox . The head, limbs and tail are yellow hair, and the body is white. It jumps freely in the mountains and forests, which is very cute.
Yellow-throated mink body is about 50~60 cm long and weighs about 2~3 kilograms. It has obvious yellow-orange throat spots on the front chest, short and round ears, short but very strong legs. Yellow-throated mink likes to do one thing the most, which is that it likes to steal honey and eat endlessly. This is how the nickname " Honey Dog " comes from.
Yellow throat mink is mainly distributed in Southeast Asian countries, such as China, India, Bangladesh , Bhutan , Nepal , Pakistan , Russia, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei , Cambodia , Indonesia , South Korea, North Korea, Laos , Malaysia , Myanmar , Nepal, Pakistan.
The yellow-throated marten in my country is mainly distributed in Hainan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan, and Hubei. There are quite a lot of them, especially in Yunnan. It is rare to find yellow-throated marten in Shiyan, Hubei now.
Yellow-throated mink looks extremely widely distributed, but in the past 50 years, due to the continuous decrease in forest area in Southeast Asia, the total number has also been declining. Another reason for the decrease in yellow-throated mink is that mink can be made into expensive mink fur, and illegal businessmen chased and killed yellow-throated mink in order to get mink fur.
However, as my country's ecological environment improves and the number of forests increases, the habitat of yellow-throated minks is actually expanding, which means that the number of yellow-throated minks in Southeast Asia is declining, while my country is increasing. This is why the yellow-throated minks appeared in Shiyan, Hubei, which shows that the natural environment of Shiyan, Hubei is very superior. The famous Shennongjia is next to Shiyan, Hubei.
In August 2022, an infrared camera set up in Xiaoheishan Provincial Nature Reserve, Longling, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, captured several yellow-throated martens. Three yellow-throated martens appeared at one location. They were playing in the forest, running and hitting, you bite me and I gave you a mouthful, and your movements were funny and cute.
In September 2022, an infrared camera in the Daba Mountain Nature Reserve in Chongqing also captured the image of a yellow-throated mink, which was very precious. A yellow-throated mink appeared on a hillside, with a strong body and agile figure. He was walking and smelling the ground, probably looking for the mark left.
However, the yellow-throated mink suddenly ran down the slope and soon disappeared in front of the infrared camera lens. Maybe he found something and was shocked by the thing. Maybe it was a snake, maybe it was its natural enemy. In short, in 2022, the yellow-throated mink appeared in many places in my country, indicating that our country's environment has greatly improved.
