1. Plants will burn themselves? Strange animals and plants, learned a lot!
In human law, arson is a serious crime and should be severely punished. But who would have thought that plants without hands and feet would become arsonists in the vast nature?
There are all kinds of flowers in the forest of a country in Southeast Asia, and one of them is very pleasing because of its bright color and fragrant smell. It belongs to Ericaceae, with golden yellow flowers and a funny name called "Woodwatcher". It sounds like this flower is the manager of this forest.

It belongs to Ericaceae, with golden yellow flowers and a funny name called "Woodwatcher". It sounds like this flower is the manager of this forest.
However, this flower often spits fire. If it is not found in time, it will spread, burn nearby trees and become a huge mountain fire. This has happened many times and burned a large area of forest. Frequent forest fires have attracted the attention of the police. In order to catch the arsonist, the local police and garden agencies conducted a long-term investigation of the forest, but they never solved the case.
Later, through the analysis of forest plants and field investigation, scientists finally found the real murderer of this forest fire-"the forest man" flower. After learning this conclusion, the local people felt ridiculous and thought that a flower could set fire. However, it was not until scientists put forward reasons and conducted experiments that people were surprised to believe that this beautiful little flower was really an arsonist.
Watching the Woodcutter is beautiful and fragrant, but there is danger in its fragrance. In its flowers, stems and leaves, it is rich in a flammable aromatic oil that is extremely volatile. This oil is very flammable. When the air is dry and hot, this aromatic oil will spontaneously ignite at high temperature, and even ignite the surrounding plants, causing forest fires. From then on, the "forest keeper" changed his name in this country and was dubbed "arsonist".
2. Do desert army ants eat people? Amazon army ants wiped out the elite German troops?
Desert army ants stay in the Amazon River, and they live a collective life. Generally, a collective has12 million. They are migratory ants, that is, they don't have a static place to live, and they are used to looking for prey in action. But the consequence of ants is that no matter how fast they walk, they can't catch up with humans. When an ant advances every hour 100 meter, the group moves more slowly.
During World War II, Rommel, known as the "Fox of Gobi Desert", lost to the British army. In order to save the war, Rommel sent an elite German army (*** 1800) to prepare for winding through the African jungle to solve the attack on the British rear. Three days later, Rommel never received any signal from this unit.
A few days later, Rommel sent a reconnaissance team to explore the depths of the forest. In an unknown lake, they were horrified to see such a scene: for four square kilometers, the air was filled with bones and skeletons, not only skin and hair, but all items containing protein and fiber were left behind, while weapons, watches and metal items were intact. According to statistics, 650 were created on the spot. After a series of investigations and conjectures, the German army finally realized the shocking truth of this incident: this army was eliminated by Gobi army ants (African cannibal ants) during its service.
The reason why army ants are so fierce is that they are numerous and their saliva is poisonous. After the prey was bitten, Ji Xun was anesthetized and lost his resistance. Therefore, what outsiders fear most is army ants.
The strangest fish in the world has two hands, but it is used for walking?
The audience who saw the Stephen Chow movie The Mermaid must be impressed by the way the mermaid Shanshan disguised herself as a human being, because she actually walked with her tail as her feet. But movies are movies after all, and art is just art. Everyone knows that fish swim with fins in water, not with their feet. Recently, however, a group of divers in Australia discovered a rare fish with two "hands", but these two hands were not evolved to challenge human hegemony, but were used to walk on the seabed!
The fish appeared at the bottom of the sea near the coast of Tasmania. It is a red-handed fish, and its scientific name is Thymus. Their fins have evolved into hand shapes with clear finger structures. When divers found them, they were hiding behind seaweed and walking leisurely hand in hand.
Red-handed fish can grow up to about 9 cm, which is extremely rare and endangered. Only about 20 to 40 fish were found near Henry Bay before. After receiving the diver's report, university of tasmania sent a team of seven experts to the bottom of the sea for two days. Just when they wanted to give up, they finally found this group of rare animals. .
