Animal Kingdom of
The world's most widespread discrimination? neither gender discrimination or racial discrimination, but the appearance of discrimination.
From recruitment requirements "upright" to various features on your resume to remove one's hat recent photo of the "," no one from this discrimination "filter". United States writer Najafi (StevenJeffes) after years of research have written a booklet entitled "the supremacy of appearance (Appearance isEverything) book, the book's data is some scary but not surprising:" beautiful people "in recruitment opportunity to be hired than" ordinary person "of 2 to 5 times:" the beautiful people "average wage higher than the" ordinary person "and 12 per cent to 16 per cent:" ugly "dismissed the possibility of" ordinary people "is higher than the 2 to 6 times. Another famous example is that when Nixon and John f. Kennedy for the presidential election debate, through radio voters more that Nixon had won, because Nixon's speech is clear, organized, intensity; while watching live TV, but many of the voters chose Kennedy as a successful party — he is so handsome.The humble does not mean not important
The beauty and ugliness, it is said that there are standard, recently have a quantified the qilu beauty standards "introduced, many little girl" on the mirror volume nose length ".
By contrast, the wildlife of beauty and ugliness, seems to be not so good quantization. However, they also face discrimination victim.Recently, several Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, the nation has captured a snake, qualified for the occurrence of rare "mangshan."
Mangshan soldering iron is a large snake, two metres long, triangle head takes the soldering iron. This peculiar snake species named in 1990, its range of very small, only in ophidian region has found, isthat only about 500 articles. The Canton in the mangshan was found outside, for the mangshan soldering iron, is good news. But for most people, this kind of stealth in dead wood defeated leaves the Snake is too strange. Don't blame it, who makes it look so ugly?As the representative of the rare and wild animals, the Giant Panda is not only widely popular, more is the WWF selected as the flag as a symbol of wildlife conservation.
There is no doubt that the giant pandas belong to the Animal Kingdom in "good people" that dial, which also is the giant panda conservation work offers great convenience. Some of us are familiar with the name of rare animals: South China Tiger, Tibetan antelope, Golden Monkey, Red-crowned cranes ... Around or powerful or handsome or cute guy. The same is rare primates, presbytis monkeys and Hainan black Crown Gibbons found fame is going to the intensity of Golden Monkey, protection is also much less.Compared to mammals and birds, amphibians and reptiles of animals would be considered "ugly".
However their threatened without a corresponding lower degree. According to the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, released the Chinese species red list on the data provided, our amphibians threatened 39.88% reptile threatened 27.52%, these include the mangshan soldering iron, living in the shadow of or sticky or cool animals, many of the circumstances of danger than Panda.For example, our unique amphibian cold north tooth laevis, 2004 survey found a Habitat, has a total area of less than 2 square kilometers, the population of no more than 100 only mature individuals.
Dianchi salamander, compared to the cold north tooth laevis is fortunate, because habitats heavily damaged, this unique salamander in China since 1979 and has not been found before, have been identified.The worm also not so pleasant, however the total number of large insects though, some species also facing
huge threat, such as giant pandas with column-level protection of animals in China Chinese family meconematidae from Germanica, this is kind of 1985 was named insects, wildlife habitats in China 2000 meters above sea level in the Changbai mountain area. Don't see never seen such big Ant-like insects, I am afraid there are very few people who can put it's name to read on.Pretty well got into trouble
However, sometimes, too beautiful would bring disaster.
In August 2006, people in a remote area in the northern part of Myanmar have discovered a species of fish in the Aquarium enthusiasts out there, it is called fire fin diamond lights or Pearl Zebra.
Only discovered a few months later, Thailand's pet fish traders in Japan and Europe and to export the 15000 this only 2.5 cm long fish and more fish mongers are to fashion.With ornamental fish tragic for the butterfly.
August 19, the United States fish and Wildlife Authority an undercover detective for three years at the world's largest Butterfly smugglers Island hisakichi apprehension that the person is known as the "butterfly Japan smuggling territories · Indiana Jones," and the rest of the world have linked poachers, who knows how to get to all parts of the varieties of rare butterflies. But a rare butterfly specimens, black market prices can reach thousands of dollars.Some guy more bad luck, such as Turkey mountains in a crazy antlers of beetles, called Echelon.
Because a King called "beetle" video games popular, it has been in hot pursuit of an antler shovels beetle in Japan can sell 40000 yen, which stimulate the international smugglers to hunt insects.More fantastic is a 1933 was Nazi biologist named Adolf Hitler, insect, originally a way of life in the caves of Slovenia no eye beetle,
Because this name is widely known. In recent years in some countries the new Nazi rise, this small "Hitler"was a conflict, those new Nazis competing to collection "pride of the heads of State", causing it to Herber. It was suggested that the solution is to change the names.Change the name or cosmetic, however, can change the fate of these wild animals?
