Chapter 520 (2/2)

These sunken footprints become miniature ponds after ponding, which can become spawning chambers for frogs. Unlike some ponds with more large animals, these spawning chambers have few natural enemies. The pond formed by elephant footprints can be kept for a long time. It is also a precious water source for some small animals in the dry season.

Some researchers have done special research. In the footprints of more than 30 elephants, there are 61 kinds of small invertebrates, belonging to 9 orders, including frogs, dragonflies, spiders, snails and other small organisms, which is almost equivalent to a micro habitat. ”

”Wow, 6666!”

”This is a world with one foot!”

Netizens looked at the flat footprints and couldn't help but come up with a picture. In the puddle of water, frogs came to lay eggs. One egg turned into tadpoles and jumped ashore into frogs.

The process of life breeding is actually completed in the footprints of elephants.

It seems that elephants and frogs are so different in size. It seems that they can't catch up with animals at all. They have such a wonderful connection. Nature is really magical.

Fang ye said by the way: ”the ecological significance of Asian elephants to forests is somewhat similar to that of wild boars!

The huge body can open up elephant trails in the forest, so that small animals can run farther and reproduce. The excrement pulled out is a very good fertilizer and can promote the growth of trees. It is also a favorite food for dung beetles and various animals.

However, the elephant is bigger, the developed elephant path is wider, and there are many other things that wild boars can't do.

For example, when elephants tickle, pushing down some dead dead trees can make room for newborn trees and let them get valuable sunshine.

It is of great significance for forest succession!

If the boar is a forest gardener, the elephant is an ecological engineer.

For some plants with large seeds, such as durian, it will be difficult to spread without the help of large animals such as elephants.

Durian has a hard shell and many thorns. Ordinary animals can't eat it!

But it's easy for elephants. Elephants can directly swallow durian whole. Someone found the complete shell and seed of durian in the elephant's feces. ”

Netizens were stunned: ”lying in the slot!”

”Eat durian and swallow it raw with its shell? This is too fierce! ”

”Aren't you afraid that durian's sting will damage your intestines? Great, my elephant! ”

”Just think about it, I feel the pain in the chrysanthemum... How did you pull it out...”

”I remember a funny movie in which someone hid directly in the chrysanthemum of an elephant. The Tibetans have no problem, let alone let durian pass! ”

”Wow, do you want to be so disgusting!”

”He's a tough character! Well... Elephants and people. ”

Fang ye said with a smile, ”many students like durian, right? When eating durian in the future, remember to think about the good of elephants. ”

”Ha ha, OK!”

”Principal, let the elephant perform and eat durian?”

Fang ye said, ”Durian doesn't mature until June. Which one will you let me change. Durian will be added to the food in summer. Welcome to enjoy it. ”

“ok！ When you have the summer vacation, you must go to your zoo. ”

He Pingping walked in the sand. Pingping rolled up a handful of sand and threw it on his back from time to time.

Fang Ye used to think that when elephants sprinkle sand on themselves, they suck it in and spray it out with their noses, just like sprinkling water.

After the elephant came, he found that there are actually two ways for elephants to sprinkle sand. They suck and roll, and roll more, just like people sprinkle sand in their hands.
