This species of snail is called Clusterwink, they are often found in clusters of snails stuck on rocky shores on Australian beaches. This snail is considered the strangest snail in the world because they can emit light on their own. Unlike land snails that secrete luminescent mucus, Clusterwink snails are bioluminescent based on a chemical reaction inside their bodies. When any creature touches it, it emits a green flashing light Until now, the ability of the Clusterwink snail to glow is still a mystery to scientists. They hypothesized that this could be a tool to help them raise alarms, communicate with their fellow humans, or frighten enemies Fireflies or glow bugs are small beetles collectively known as the family Fireflies that are luminescent. Fireflies are typical of temperate regions, although most species live in tropical and subtropical regions Fireflies are divided into two groups: flying fireflies and fireflies crawling on the ground. Both of these groups can emit the same special cold light, which does not radiate heat like artificial light The light of fireflies is emitted from the last few segments of the abdomen. During the day, these nodes are only gray-white in color, at night they emit subtle light through the transparent skin, with reflective cells that have the function of reflecting light out. Plankton occurs in most of the world’s beaches, especially in the Maldives. They emit a blue light, and tend to glow more strongly in the presence of waves This luminescent light acts as a signal to scare away enemies with color, an implicit warning to the enemy. On the other hand, it also distracts the enemy, distracting the enemy, the plankton uses that opportunity to escape. In addition, according to scientists, bioluminescent plankton is a signal to attract and support larger organisms to hunt copepods – enemies of plankton. Atolla jellyfish live in the depths of the ocean. They have 22 tentacles, one of which is larger than the others and is used to catch prey, this jellyfish is known as the “moving lamp” of the sea. Unlike many other jellyfish, the Atolla jellyfish when attacked will immediately glow brightly. The light it emits can illuminate as far as 91.44m At that time, larger species will be attracted to this light and rush to it. Then the hunter becomes the prey again and the jellyfish will take this opportunity to escape Atolla jellyfish often use tentacles to catch prey. When the prey has been captured by the tentacles, they swing back and forth until the prey has no resistance and then enjoy. The anglerfish, also known as anglerfish – literally “fishing rod fish”, this fish has a fleshy nodule that grows from the head to become a luminous organ that functions as a bait During hunting, this part of the fin will glow, making the fish around it attracted. After that, their job is just to open their large mouth and take the whole prey into their stomach It is known that Anglerfish are considered the “demon” of the ocean floor because they have extremely ugly but extremely sharp teeth, this fish often lives in the deep sea, without light. In the forests of some Asian countries, including Vietnam, people still often encounter glowing mushrooms. This mushroom has the scientific name Omphalotus nidiformis but is often referred to as the “ghost mushroom”. Ghost mushroom is considered a poisonous mushroom that contains illudin compound – a luminescent substance or phosphorous substance that causes poisoning to humans when ingested. Mushroom poisonings often occur in the winter and spring, when fungi grow and develop. Therefore, people absolutely should not go to the forest to pick wild mushrooms to eat Geckos are a famous creature, known to many people because they have the ability to change color continuously according to the season and weather. However, very few people know that, under ultraviolet light, the bones of many chameleon species are also capable of emitting fluorescent light. This strange millipede is a millipede, scientifically known as Motyxia sequoia. Scientists think this millipede evolved a way to glow in the dark to cope with the stress of life when living in a hot, dry environment. In addition to stress relief, the blue light emitted by the Motyxia sequoiae mat also warns predators that they may spew out cyanide. When the light this millipede emits is not enough to ward off danger, they also ooze toxic cyanide and foul odors from their small feet. This millipede is blind, so they cannot attract each other with light, nor do they use light to attract prey. The ability to glow is just an odd defense mechanism of this creature

Food of field crabs must be fresh, not stale, moldy. Need to feed the field crabs enough, if the crabs lack food, it is easy to eat each other. Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, Yen Tho commune, Dong Trieu district, Quang Ninh province harvests field crabs from her family’s farm. In ponds and fields, it is necessary to arrange a number of eating floors to assess the crab’s catching status, and at the same time to adjust the amount of food according to weather conditions. In the last months of the crab farming cycle, it is necessary to add more animal food in the diet to make the crabs grow fast and firm. It is possible to add more field tilapia and tilapia to eat crab leftovers, reducing water pollution. Field crab is the type that adapts to cool weather, so it is necessary to alternately plant water spinach, rice, and cash crops to keep the crabs’ shade in the summer. The water environment also needs to be kept clean and regularly change the source of water in and out to stimulate crabs to molt and catch strong prey. “Investment capital for crab farming is very low, mainly hiring workers to dig ponds, buy corrugated iron and bamboo poles to enclose the embankment. Currently, every day, my family earns about 3-4kg, selling 150,000 VND/kg ‘, Ms. Huong revealed. Through research, seeing that field crabs are popular with many people, taking advantage of low-lying rice fields for low productivity, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong studied and brought back field crabs to release on her field. Because field crabs have no place to produce seed, they have to buy from people who go wild. Ms. Huong said: “At first, I bought crab seed from traders from Hai Duong to release, but each release the number of dead crabs was up to 70%. After a few dead crabs, I learned from experience that if I want to have a high survival rate and grow up quickly, I have to buy native breeds…” “In addition to raising commercial crabs, I also zoned the field and selected some adult crabs to breed separately. Here I will invest in buying brick holes to build banks, planting many layers of concrete pillars, with The purpose is to let the crabs live in, creating a favorable environment for the crabs to grow and develop better”, Ms. Huong added. Talking to us, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, Chairwoman of the Farmers’ Association of Yen Tho Commune (Dong Trieu Town, Quang Ninh Province) said: “Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong’s model of field crab farming has brought high economic efficiency. . From the initial results, in the coming time, the Commune Farmers’ Union will direct the grassroots branches, exchange experiences, and mobilize people in the commune to replicate this model. Especially, taking advantage of low-lying areas and inefficient rice-growing areas to develop commercial crab farming models, contributing to increasing income and improving the lives of members and people.

Bear eat ants for a body length of 150cm but has a tongue up to 60cm long. True to its name, the bear eats ants, this bear eats ants, termites and a long, sticky tongue with small spines is a very effective “tool” in catching prey. With the speed of releasing and retracting the tongue up to 150 times / minute, ant-eating bears can catch up to 30,000 termites per day.

Ants’ stomachs have a special structure that can crush large numbers of ants and termites, helping to facilitate digestion. This stomach produces formic acid instead of the hydrochloric acid commonly found in other mammals.

Bear eat ants have poor eyesight, but the ability to smell very sharp, 40 times more than humans. They use their noses to find food. The body temperature of the ant-eating bear was 32.7 ° C, which is lower than that of other placenta, mammals. If living in the wild, ant-eating bears can last 15 years and 25 years if kept in captivity.

The bear eats pregnant ants for 190 days and gives birth to only one baby per litter. A bear that eats ants will stay with her mother for two years until the bear that eats the ant is pregnant again. In the first year of life, the bear eats the mother ants and will carry the baby on her back.

Bats suck honey

The honey-sucking bat is one of the famous bats for its long tongue. Its long tongue when retracted was hidden in the chest.

A species of bat with a tube-shaped mouth specializing in nectar absorption, or known as Anoura fistulata has the longest tongue of any mammal on the planet. The tongue of this exotic animal is about 8.5 cm long, 1.5 times its body length. According to Iflscience, this particular species of bat broke the record for the first bat species in Ecuado decades ago.

Now, according to the Association for the Conservation of Wildlife, a strange species of bat has been found for the first time in Bolivia’s Madidi National Park. This unusual tongue allows them to easily suck nectar from the ends of a funnel-shaped flower. This is also an effective way to pollinate this elongated flower.

In fact, with a tongue almost twice the length of its body, there is no animal in the natural world that has “overtaken” the long ratio of the tongue to the body of this bats.

Pangolin

Pangolins have a tongue up to 40cm long with a lot of sticky drool to easily catch prey. Its tongue stalks deep in the abdomen. This animal has no feathers, only a hard scaly covering its body, and also has no teeth. The pangolin’s food is mainly ants and termites.

British naturalist David Attenborough chose the Sunda pangolin (a species of pangolin distributed throughout Southeast Asia) as one of the 10 species he wants to rescue from the most endangered.

So what makes pangolins so special? Here are facts to help us understand more about one of the most endangered species on Earth.

Currently in the world there are about 8 species of pangolin in existence, and some species have been extinct during evolution over the past 80 million years. Four of them live in Asia: China, Malaysia, India and Palawan Island (Philippines), while the remaining 4 species are distributed in Africa.

When fully stretched, the pangolin’s tongue can be up to 40cm long and the base of the tongue is deep in the chest cavity. The pangolins use their sticky tongues to catch insects. Because pangolins have no teeth, they crush and digest food with stones in the stomach.

The scales of pangolins are mainly composed of keratin, similar to human nails, rhino horn or bird nails … The horn scales account for 20% of the weight of this animal. The very hard scales can protect pangolins from predators. However, in traditional Chinese medicine, people dry and roast pangolin scales because they believe they can cure polio, stimulate lactation for women … For that reason, the price of pangolin scales on the black market amounted to more than 3,000 USD / kg.

The pangolin is the only animal, also the only mammal to have a protective keratinous layer on the skin. As solitary creatures, their diet consists mainly of ants and termites, and they use their long tongue to capture prey.

Mammals have long been threatened by poaching for their flesh and scales, intended for use in traditional Chinese medicine. As of January 2020, eight pangolin species have been listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Today, pangolin is still the most trafficked mammal in the world.

Hills of sea turtle prey

Named for its curved, sharp beak with a prominent tomium, this sea turtle lives in the ocean, but mostly inhabits shallow lagoons and coral reefs.

Although distributed around the world, tortoise sea turtles are critically endangered. For many decades, its shell has been the source of raw materials used for decorative purposes. Illegal fishing activities have contributed to the alarming decline of this species.

Gorilla

Native to Malaysia and Indonesia, orangutans are one of the most intelligent primates, also the largest tree-dwelling animal of the great ape.

Human activities have dramatically reduced the number and range of orangutans. It’s no surprise that all three species of orangutans – Bornean, Sumatra and Tapanuli – are critically endangered according to the IUCN Red List.

Rhino

The name rhino is derived from the Greek word “hinokerōs”, meaning “with horns in the nose”. Often abbreviated as rhino, two of the remaining species are native to Africa and three are in southern Asia.

Poachers often cut the carcasses of this species, mammals also slaughtered thousands for their horns, bought and sold on the black market, and used by some cultures as jewelry. intellectual or traditional medicine. The IUCN Red List identifies the Black, Javanese and Sumatran rhinos as Critically Endangered.

Saiga’s gazelle

Found only in one region of Russia and 3 regions of Kazakhstan, the saigas form very large swarms of herbivores on the peninsula, savannas and meadows. Their outstanding feature is the pair of nostrils that expand close together, facing downwards.

The horns of the male antelope are used in traditional Chinese medicine, and this need has wiped out the species in China. According to the Convention on Migratory Wilds, the decline of the saiga is one of the fastest recent population collapses of large mammals. Currently, this animal is still critically endangered.

Tigers

The tiger is the largest extant cat and one of the most popular and recognized animals in the world. It is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Korea.

Listed in the IUCN Red List as Endangered, tigers have been trafficked for hair and body parts for centuries. Many people in China and other parts of Asia believe that different parts of the tiger have medicinal properties, including pain relievers and aphrodisiacs. This falsehood has caused the black market to thrive for many years, and the number of tigers has dropped worryingly.

Elephant

These gentle giants are the largest land animals available, and are scattered throughout Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

One of the biggest threats to elephant populations is the ivory trade, since they are poached for their tusks. It is estimated that 30,000 elephants are killed each year by poachers. IUCN lists African Elephants as Endangered and Asian Elephants as Endangered.

Sumatran gazelle

This little-known antelope is native to mountainous forests on the Thai-Malay peninsula and on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Despite its near inaccessible altitude habitat, this timid and elusive creature is frequently caught in the sights of poachers’ rifles, shot for their flesh and parts. The body is said to have their medicinal properties. The IUCN has rated the Sumatran markhor as Endangered.

Hong Hoang has a hat

As a large and impressive member of the cormorant family, the cormorant is named after its helmet-like structure, accounting for about 11% of its 3 kg body weight. This bird is native to Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Thailand and Myanmar.

The cephalopod was included on the IUCN Red List Near Threatened Critically in 2015. According to data published by TRAFFIC, Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network, 2,170 animals were confiscated in just three years in China and Indonesia alone.

Gaur

Gaur, also known as the Indian bison, is native to South and Southeast Asia, mainly confined to evergreen or semi-evergreen and semi-evergreen deciduous forests. Gaur is hunted mercilessly by poachers for the purpose of meat, sold at high prices to satisfy international markets, gaurs are also slaughtered to trade in booty. This animal has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986.

Macaws

Macaws are some of the most vivid wildlife on Earth native to Central and South America, and are also found in Mexico, most of which are associated with forests, especially rainforests.

Their ability to mimic voices and possess great intelligence has made parrots highly regarded as pets. This has led to a worrying increase in poaching to the point that some species face extinction. In fact, most parakeets are threatened in the wild, a fact underscored by the rapid rate of deforestation around the world.

Snow leopard

A large-looking cat that calls the mountains of Central and South Asia home, the snow leopard is perfectly adapted to live in the cold. Unfortunately, the beautiful snow leopard’s fur is extremely appealing to poachers, who are involved in the illegal trade of animal skin and body parts. Snow leopards are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because the global population is now estimated to be less than 10,000 adults and is expected to decline by about 10% by 2040.

Shark

There are more than 500 species of sharks swimming in the world’s oceans. Famous species such as the tiger shark, the blue shark, the great white shark, the mako shark, the banging shark and the hammerhead shark are the ultimate predators.

However, sharks must fear humans more than humans are afraid of sharks. In fact, many shark populations are threatened by human activities, with some being hunted for their fins (used in soups). According to Oceana, 73 million terrifying sharks end the global fin trade each year, traded for food.

Birds of prey

Birds of prey, also known as raptors, include eagles, hawks, kites, hawks, owls and falconry. Among the animal kingdom’s top predators, these birds are also some of the most powerful and agile wildlife in the world.

But because of their speed and agility, some species become prey for poachers due to their exceptional hunting ability. The International Association for falconry and bird conservation identifies poaching of rare species, such as the extent of the Bonelli eagle plunder crisis (pictured) in Southern Europe by criminal organizations, as The reason may cause many species to become locally extinct.

Abalone

Abalone is a species of sea snail with the number of species recognized worldwide ranging from 30 to 130. Abalone meat is considered by many to be a desirable food, and is eaten raw or cooked. by many cultures. In the photo is an example with a living sponge on its shell.

According to TRAFFIC, South African abalone is the most exported species in aquaculture anywhere in the world. 95% of South Africa’s abalone is exported to Hong Kong, where it is consumed as a delicacy or re-exported.
