Have you ever seen the little wolf 57,000 years ago? Such a wolf cub was found in the permafrost of Yukon, Canada, which helped scientists understand how wolves migrated from Europe, Asia and North America.
A gold miner in Yukon, Canada discovered an unexpected treasure in the summer of 2016. He blew up a permanently frozen wall with a water cannon and was about to dig out the precious metal inside, and he noticed something melting from the ice. When I took it out, I saw that this was not a precious ore, but a well-preserved wolf mummy. He handed the mummy to the scientific researchers.
After a long period of research, scientists finally confirmed that the little wolf cub was born 57,000 years ago. At that time, Bering Strait was still in a frozen state to form a land bridge. The little wolf cub migrated from Siberian . The cub is a female wolf, aged between 6 and 7 weeks, and its death is likely to be covered by permanent frozen layers due to the collapse of the cave.
The discovery of this young wolf provides clues for the migration of wolves in Asia and North America, and researchers also obtained the evolutionary laws of wolves through the analysis of the young wolf DNA. This is very meaningful for research on organisms, especially mammals, but we must pay attention to the first time such a complete wolf corpse was discovered in the Yukon area in Canada.
All of this means that the temperature of the earth will reach a new height. In addition to being used as scientific research materials, those paleontological remains exposed to the surface can also have some unpredictable negative effects on human society and even the entire ecosystem.
For example, infectious viruses.
happened once before, an anthrax epidemic occurred in a residential area in Siberia, but the anthrax epidemic was completely destroyed many years ago. So where did this plague come from? Later, after some investigation, people learned that anthrax was caused by melting the ice layer in the soil, revealing many biological corpses when anthrax prevailed many years ago. These corpses spread the virus and led to an anthrax epidemic.
This incident reminds us that perhaps in the frozen soil of ancient times, there were more unknown prehistoric viruses, but we are not sure which lives this virus will pose and how to eliminate it. The melting of the frozen layer will not only cause the spread of the virus, but may also resurrect some ancient creatures.
People cannot be resurrected by death." This is a common truth that we recognize, and it is also true in the lives around us. However, on Earth, there are also some organisms that can "sleep" for a long time. If these organisms still have their life characteristics, they may "resurrect" after thawing.
Russian scientists have recently rescued an rotifer , which has been frozen in the ice for tens of thousands of years. Rovine is a multicellular organism with a very complex structure, and some simple bacteria and viruses do not even require science. The help of home can recover by itself. Obviously, we cannot detect these lives, so their resurrection can be said to be "silent". By the time we react, it is estimated that irreparable losses have been caused.
So, the problem of global warming should attract the attention of all of us. Everyone should contribute their own strength, drive less, ride more bikes, and have multiple trees, which will help curb global climate warming and let the earth cool down, starting from bit by bit!
