Liu Wei’s act of helping her comb her hair can bring a feeling of intimacy to the zebra. He blinked twice and his eyebrows were much more docile.

“That’s right! I have no idea about your daughter-in-law. We are not a species. I just want to get close to you and be a company on the road!” Liu Wei combed his mane patiently, not because the zebra just The almost fatal performance generates emotions.

The other female zebras also approached. They cuddled with each other and communicated in a special way.

Liu Wei smiled and said: “Brothers, the female horse must praise me in front of the male horse. Look at their eyes, full of love! It seems that I have become their very important human friend!”

After speaking, he took the brush and walked up.

The male zebra leader took the initiative to retreat to the side and let Liu Wei play with his harem beauties.

It seems that it admitted the fact that it was defeated.

In Zebra’s thinking, only the winner can lead this group, and as a loser, he will actively hand over his power.

The criterion of victory and defeat is actually determined by zebra’s psychological activities.

Liu Wei waved at it, but it ignored it.

“Okay! I will temporarily replace you as the leader for a few days!”

Liu Wei stroked the female zebra’s back, “Before you join the migrating army, I will accompany you. I hope we can have a good time!”

After finishing the declaration of competency, Liu Wei turned back to face the live broadcast. “Compared with other herbivores in Africa, zebras have enviable digestion capabilities. They can continue to be healthy even in harsh desert areas. It is also the reason why the plains zebras are widely distributed on the African continent, and their survivability is particularly strong.

At the same time, its anti-virus ability is also very strong. We all know that Africa is an area with frequent diseases, not only in humans, but also in animals. According to statistics, the disease resistance of zebras is the grassland. One of the best! “

“Awei, tell me about the stripes on zebras!”

“Yes! Why are there so many stripes on zebras?”

“Does it have any special function?”

Many people, like the viewers in the live broadcast room, know a zebra first because of its lines, and at the same time, they are very curious about its lines!

Liu Weikepu said: “The formation time of stripes and gap widths on zebras is in the early pregnancy of female zebras. A fixed, uniformly spaced stripe is actually formed in the embryo.

Later in the process of embryonic development, because the development of various parts of the body is different, after the pups are born, the stripes formed in each part are also obviously different, some are wide and some are narrow.

For example, the stripes on the neck of a zebra are relatively wide. The shape of the stripes on the neck was first formed in the seventh week of embryonic development, and it was determined before the neck stretched.

The strands near the nostrils are very thin. Generally, the stripes in this area are formed in the fifth week of embryonic development, which is determined before the nose is enlarged.

The zebra’s hips have the widest stripes, and the hips develop in proportion to the rest of the body.

At the same time, stripes cannot appear earlier than the fifth week of embryonic development, because zebras have a striped tail, and this tail has not appeared before the fifth week of embryonic development. At this time, the length of the embryo is about 32 mm, the number of stripes is about 80. Based on this, it can be calculated that the width of each stripe initially determined is about 400 microns, that is, each stripe has a width of 20 embryonic cells.

Finally, the stripes on its limbs extend in a horizontal direction. Studies have shown that it is very likely that all the stripes on the legs are mechanically rotated at an angle during embryonic development. “

“It feels complicated!”

“Do not understand!”

“It’s very simple, what Awei means is that the stripes on the zebra are formed before they are born!”

“Nonsense! I want you to talk!”

“Hahaha! In fact, it is similar to the development process of human embryos. If you are interested, you can study it!”

Liu Wei smiled and said: “I don’t know much about genetics. My teacher has high attainments in this area. I have the opportunity to let him introduce you in detail.”

“Let’s talk about the role of stripes again. The research on zebra stripes varies greatly from time to time. This also reflects the limitations of scientific research. After all, the times are advancing, and human cognition levels and directions will have Great change.

At the beginning of the research, scientists believed that the stripes on zebras were the main mark for mutual recognition between the same species, as well as the protective color formed by zebras in order to adapt to the environment, which can play a very important defensive role.

The African savannah is a paradise for large predators. Although the zebra has a strong running ability, its defenses are still very immature in front of the highly skilled felines and alligators, and they will often quietly. The approach to the zebra and launch a surprise attack will not give the zebra too much opportunity to react.

If the zebras have a chance to escape from their attack, then the lines on the body will play a big supporting role.

Open grasslands and desert areas, this dark brown and white stripes, under the sun or moonlight, the reflected light is different, playing the role of blurring or distracting the contours of the body, looking at it, it is difficult to compare Distinguish the surrounding environment.

When the zebra escapes, it is easy to distract the predator, making it difficult for the predator to distinguish the target to be pursued. The predator will try to give up hunting because of hesitation.

Such research and understanding also gave mankind enlightenment. The principle of stripe protection color can be applied to sea operations. During World War II, the United States painted a zebra stripe color on warships to blur the Japanese army’s sight and confuse the Japanese army. .

However, in recent studies, zoologists have found that the stripes on zebras can distract and weaken the attention of mosquitoes and flies on the grassland, and effectively prevent mosquito bites. In order to prove this conjecture, American scientists have conducted an experiment , Painted zebra-like stripes on the elephant’s body, the experimental results are very satisfactory. “

“Fuck, this is fine too!”

“You don’t need to burn mosquito coils anymore, just apply paint on your body!”

“You are awesome! Remember to post pictures then!”

Liu Wei looked at the barrage and smiled: “I didn’t ask you to paint!”

The audience laughed wildly.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is very harmonious.

After Liu Wei helped the zebras comb their hair one by one, he sat on the ground and rested for a while.

Before the sun sets, the zebras will continue to drive forward, and the speed is not fast, Liu Wei did not ride on it, and followed with the flat-headed brother and the fat.

The sky is getting dark.

The zebra herd stepped into the jungle, looking for a safe place to rest.

The sleeping posture of zebras is different from other equine animals. Horses raised by humans sleep standing up, while zebras sleep lying flat on the ground.

When resting, there will still be members of the group responsible for guarding the periphery, and they take turns on duty.
