Excessive killing of precious animals.

Its body is about three meters long, which is about forty centimeters longer than the lion living on the earth now. It weighed 230 kilograms and was once the largest lion on earth. Kings or royals in Europe and Arabia compare lions to symbols of authority, but why can't they be seen in their territory at all?

If we want to see the lion Babari, the king of the forest, we must go to the south of the sub-Saharan Africa. Now, the bloody scene of human fighting with lions can only be seen in fictional movie pictures. Because, in European human culture, on the one hand, people regard the lion as a symbol of courage and nobility, on the other hand, humans expel the lion from their own life circle to show the incomparable strength of human beings.

The European lion died out in the 2nd century AD, and the Booker lion in South Africa disappeared from the earth forever in 1865. After entering the 20th century, the lion in Babalj, known as the Lion King, is on the verge of extinction. These tragedies can be traced back to ancient Rome long ago.

A long time ago, the powerful Romans conquered all kinds of civilizations in other places, and also conquered the Barbary lion. People from other countries conquered by the Romans were forced to become slaves of Rome. Lions were also transported to the Maximus Arena, which can accommodate 250,000 spectators, for entertainment.

Sometimes, people will arrange lions and sword dancers to perform fighting performances; Sometimes it was provoked by Christians. Some Roman emperors captured 600 lions and transported them to Rome in order to hold a grand parade to commemorate the victory of the war. When the Roman Empire fell, Barbary lions were no longer seen in most parts of North Africa. It is not the Romans who control North Africa, let alone the Barbary lion, but the desert. Overgrazing of livestock is the main reason. Even if there is a little green coverage, people will drive away a lot of livestock here, and even lions will be driven away. This situation has been so vicious circle until it becomes a vast desert.

The last position of the Barbary lion is the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. 1922, the last Babalj lion was knocked down by a human shotgun.

This is the largest lion on the ground, with a total length of three meters and a long mane extending to the back and upper body. The Japanese wolf used to be a wolf that lived in the whole northern hemisphere. Its shoulder height is 35 cm and its body length is 1 m. It is the smallest and rarest wolf in the world. They once lived in the mountains, Shikoku and Jiuzhou of this continent. In western countries, people regard wolves as demons that attack livestock. But in Japan, chasing deer or bears trampled on fields is regarded as the patron saint of crops.

The Ainu people named the wolf the God who howled in the distance. In the long winter night in the north, the howling of wolves will arouse some beliefs in people's hearts.

Around the world, people are always afraid of wolves. No matter what kind of wolf it is, generally speaking, it is possible to attack human beings.

Man has gradually expanded his sphere of influence, and even extended to the field of wolves. Therefore, in order to keep their own territory, wolves have become enemies of mankind. In Japan, there are many folk stories about wolves. There is a story about a blind man who went out to perform art and got lost in the mountains. Later, he led the way back to the village by a wolf.

Now, in some mountainous areas, there are also some shrines dedicated to wolves.

Wolves are regarded as ferocious animals after attacking precious livestock or horses in Japan. Sometimes, people are afraid of it and hunt it. Sometimes, people respect it and worship it. Wolves have become a part of Japanese nature and culture. Even if Ainu people shot them with poison arrows, it didn't threaten their survival. What really forced them to die out was the large-scale hunting of fur and the popularity of rifles after Meiji period. Of course, the biggest reason is that humans invaded wolves in order to expand their sphere of influence, which led wolves to attack livestock, so people tried their best to kill them. The government even encourages citizens to catch wolves by offering bonuses. It is estimated that Solang, an Egyptian living in Hokkaido, became extinct around 1900.

Japanese wolves are not lucky enough to survive. With the policy of Qiang Bing as a rich country, the industrialization and urbanization advocated at that time, and the canine distemper caused by the import of some western dogs, all these problems drove the Japanese wolves to a dead end. The survival of Japanese wolves is incompatible with civilization.

1907, that is, in the thirty-eighth year of Meiji, a wolf was captured in Jiujiakou, Yoshino Prefecture, Nara Prefecture, and this Japanese wolf was confirmed as the last Japanese wolf. Marsupials live in sparse forests or grasslands. However, when settlers come to the land where they live, they will hide in the depths of the forest. This carnivorous marsupial is from beginning to end 1.5 to 1.8 meters long. Shoulder height 60 cm. There is a bag on the stomach, and you can put a baby kangaroo like a kangaroo. There are twelve to twenty patterns on the back. Jaw bone is divided into two parts like a snake. They will bite off the head of a hunting dog. At night, they act alone, often targeting kangaroos, wallabies or flightless birds. It doesn't run fast, but it will chase after it until its prey is exhausted. They often bite the head of their prey to end their lives.

Since the arrival of Tasmanian immigrants, the survival of the marsupial wolf has been in crisis.

A large number of domestic animals-sheep have been hurt by dogs. Moreover, people mistakenly think it is a marsupial, because both dogs and marsupials suck the blood of sheep. 1888, the government offered a reward to those who killed marsupials. In the next twenty years, 2,268 marsupials were arrested and killed. This is also valuable information to record the number of marsupials.

The last marsupial wolf died in 1933.

People found murals painted by ancient residents 10 thousand years ago on rocks in Australia, from which we know that marsupials once lived in this ancient land a long time ago.

Surprisingly, there is a wombat reserve in Tasmania. Does this mean that it is a kind of psychological compensation? In a word, such a precious animal-the marsupial wolf is extinct.

Despite living with an ancient Australian resident for more than 10 thousand years. However, with the discovery of new lands by human beings one by one, marsupials finally disappeared from the earth forever in a blink of an eye. On the surface, it looks very similar to ordinary pigeons. However, its back is gray, which seems a little blue, and its chest is bright red. So, it looks so colorful. It is different from ordinary pigeons, and its cry is high and loud. Another feature of it is its large number, which is the largest number of birds on the earth.

Huge teams of pigeons flew over the forests of North America with loud and discordant calls. At this time, the birds blocked the sun and the ground was dark. This image, if called a flock of birds, is really not as good as a tornado.

Sometimes, birds are fifteen kilometers long and two kilometers wide. Odibo once said that he witnessed a flock of birds, with a number of 200 million.

The traveling pigeon symbolizes the prosperity of America.

Not only because of the large quantity, but also because of the delicious taste.

For the early immigrants in the United States, all the resources in this land are abundant and inexhaustible.

The horizon is infinite, the arable land is endless, and the area that cannot be found on the map instantly becomes a bustling street. In the vast land, there are new means of transportation. At this time, the symbol of nature is the traveling pigeon.

That is, you can knock a few birds out by waving a stick into the sky a few times. This used to be true. Of course, it is even more obvious to kill hundreds or even thousands of traveling pigeons with a shotgun.

At that time, millions of traveling pigeons were sent to big cities by train every day. Until 1860, with the large-scale reclamation and hunting of forests, no one noticed that the number of traveling pigeons was gradually decreasing. In the hunting competition, a hunter will shoot down tens of thousands of traveling pigeons. About 1880. Flocks of pigeons can only be seen in Michigan. Even if everyone knows this situation, hunters in Michigan will still provide 3 million pigeons to the market every year!

The last wild pigeon was shot down in 1900.

1999, there used to be an overwhelming number of passenger pigeons, and now only the last three are left. They are fed at the new Sinatra Zoo.

Now, we know that there are a certain number of traveling pigeons. When their number decreases, it is impossible to get them back to the original number!

From the overwhelming era of passenger pigeons to today, only 50 years later, we can no longer hear its loud cry.

The last passenger pigeon in the zoo was a female pigeon, which was named Martha. Martha died on 19 14 September 1. On the day of its death, all news stations in the United States reported its death.
