1996, a 7-member scientific investigation team headed by Jacob Bum" />
The beautiful blood frog turns out to be a "killer"
One day in October p>1996, a 7-member scientific investigation team headed by Jacob Bumir, a famous American animal ecologist, made an expedition from Jesus, the state of Brazilian Amazon, to the primitive tropical rain forest in the upper reaches of the Amazon River. After the expedition entered this inaccessible forest, it was very difficult to travel
. Macaulay, a photographer with the team, kept taking all memorable
scenes and things into the camera.
They came to a pond and prepared to wash. Suddenly, Dr. Hugh < P >, an expedition member, saw a pair of small wonderful animals on a rare fungus like an upside-down pholiota adiposa. Is it a new species? For the scientific examination team, there may be nothing more exciting than finding new species.
He crouched down and took a closer look. It turned out to be two small frogs with double
colors that he had never seen before. Most of their backs are red, while the other parts of their backs, four limbs and abdomen are purple-gray. What's even more amazing is that the boundary between the two colors is very clear, and there is absolutely no middle color. Moreover, the red color on it is as thick as the thick
paint, and it is very colorful, like a bright red flame.
Hughes was overjoyed and immediately reached for it. Oh, what a lovely slippery little thing!
"I have never seen such a strange frog! It may be a
newly discovered species! As red as blood, I officially named it' Blood Frog' with the rights of the discoverer < P >! Hughes said excitedly. (this loose name
was later recognized by the amphibian academic circles in Europe and America; However, many
zoologists call them "fire frogs".
Suddenly, a blood frog jumped into Hughes' hand and opened his mouth and bit it on his hand.
It hurts!
People are shocked. Frogs can bite, and they are vicious!
Despite some pain and surprise, Hughes didn't stop watching his
blood frog. He found that the frog had a pair of slender tails like white lines at the end of its back near its anus. He took a closer look, and it was even more strange. There were a pair of round black balls at the end of the blood frog's tail.
he couldn't help touching the wonderful gadgets with his fingers. Suddenly,
, a black juice spurted from the balloon and shot directly at his eyes. He felt the pain in his eyes, so he let out a cry and passed out.
People were so frightened that they quickly woke him up, but his eyes were dark.
Hughes was blind!
Macaulay was furious. Ignoring others' advice, he grabbed the hateful green frog and threw it at a stone with all his strength. The frog gave a miserable cry
, straightened his legs, spit out a stream of black water in his mouth and died. It was a
disaster, and the expedition members gathered around the hapless Hughes. While comforting
him, we discussed what to do next ...
Horrible frogs were preparing to panic in the expedition
Suddenly, the expedition members heard a strange chirping around
. The sound is getting louder, closer and sharper.
Just as these zoologists looked at each other and were amazed, they found that blood frogs began to sing and jump around, and more and more blood frogs, large and small
, surrounded the expedition team, and "frog-eyed".
It seems that they came after hearing the scream of the blood frog just now.
The astute Macaulay found a blood frog hiding behind a big leaf of a big tree. The people below could only see the dark shadow, and his actions were secretive. He almost
consciously photographed it with a camera.
suddenly, the blood frog on the back of the leaf gave a strange cry. The blood
frogs below seem to have heard a command, and they all spray
thick black juice from their special "tails" and shoot at people's heads, hands and other exposed parts.
many people shouted, "pain, pain!" " In view of Hughes' teaching of blindness, everyone quickly covered their eyes and other important parts with their hands ...
The situation was not good, and Mill ordered: "Run!"
So, there is such a grotesque scene in the dense forest of Brazil-frogs are chasing behind
, people are fleeing in front, and a group of strong men and explorers are fleeing
, while a group of small frogs are "hunting", which is simply incredible!
After running for a long time, they are finally out of danger. When they think about it, they are
amused and feel pathetic. Now that I'm tired from running and the team members haven't slept for a long time, Mill decided to let everyone sleep on the spot. But Macaulay didn't want to sleep. Just now, in a melee
with the blood frog, he took many precious
photos like a war news photographer. But he is not satisfied. He wants to take some more amazing photos.
So he took his camera alone and set off quietly. He chose roads
where the roads are more dangerous and the Woods are particularly dense. He is convinced that only in a place like
can rare works be photographed.
Suddenly, he found a pair of latosolic red blood frogs making love like this among the flowers-
-
A male frog stretched out a red right arm and hugged a female frog intimately, while the "cheek" of the female frog kissed the "forehead" of its "heart frog
, which was just like human beings. Macaulay, as a zoologist, never knew that a frog
lower than a reptile could "talk about love
" with such high emotional language.
Macaulay did not dare to disturb them, and immediately took this precious shot.
Suddenly, Macaulay found a giant frog that he had never seen before.
Not far away, he was watching this pair of little "love frogs" and quietly approached. It's
as big as a footbath, weighing more than 1 kilograms, which is many times larger than the world-famous Cuban bullfrog
! And it is golden, except for the black eyes, there is no noise!
This giant frog suddenly sticks out its long tongue and swallows all the "love frogs" who are making love sweetly. The contented giant frog
gave a triumphant cry, and the sound shook all around, like thunder!
Macaulay, who was unprepared, was so scared that the camera slipped from his hand
and hit the golden giant frog hard on the head! This giant frog is also not
"mentally prepared" and suddenly froze.
Macaulay realized that he was likely to get into trouble. However, the camera that treasures the extremely precious lens that he risked his life is absolutely not to be lost.
He took advantage of the moment when the giant frog's brain didn't "turn around", picked up the camera and turned and flew away. The "awake" giant frog roared, jumped up
and struggled to catch up. With this roar, the giant frog with golden < P > constantly jumped out of the thick leaves and dense branches, and constantly joined the chasing team. Macaulay was scared to run as hard as he could.
In order to get help from his companions, Macaulay went straight to their resting place
and shouted as he ran. However, because of being too tired, the companions slept too hard
...
This group of people were all surrounded by giant frogs!
However, it's amazing that the giant frogs didn't "start work", but
squatted or squatted, sat or lay down and stared at them.
At this moment, a blue frog-perhaps the only giant frog we can
call "frog" appeared. Although its body is not big, its head and limbs are very big. The three toes of its forelimbs are huge and eccentric < P >: its head looks "skinny" and looks weather-beaten. Its
eyes are cold and dignified.
I saw it quietly pacing back and forth behind the golden giant frogs, which was
particularly eye-catching.
it seems to be thinking about something. Suddenly, it made a low
strange noise, and the frogs began to move forward. People kept retreating, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller. Later, it was too late to retreat.
But strangely, the giant frogs still haven't started to attack. Both sides are
facing each other in extreme tension.
A thrilling battle between man and frog
Finally, this strange old frog once again made a strange call, so the giant frog's
mouth spewed out a thick sticky liquid. Mucus rained down
. Although the team members were hiding everywhere, some people still got the nasty liquid < P > on their skin. At first, they felt that their limbs were stuck,
then they felt dizzy and weak all over ...
A terrible thought suddenly flashed through Mill's mind: "Did we meet the giant man-eating frog that was told by Brazilians?"
Mill understands that there is no choice but to kill our way out now.
! Mill shouted, "Rush out as hard as you can, or we will only die!" " The players cheered up and waved branches, sticks and daggers in their hands, beating and rushing.
a way out is opened.
But the giant man-eating frogs still refused to leave it at that, and continued their pursuit.
when the huge body jumps, it keeps breaking branches, making the ground shout
. The frog array composed of hundreds of such giant frogs makes a great noise!
During the escape, two of the three mobile phones of the frightened expedition team
were lost and one crashed. This is a fatal blow to the expedition team that urgently needs to contact the headquarters.
gradually people's strength is running out, and the speed of escape is getting slower and slower.
but the giant frogs are still energetic.
Mill had no choice but to order everyone to climb the tree. Because he has seen
that this giant frog can neither climb a tree nor jump on it. Soon,
the team members climbed a big tree desperately. Mill and Macaulay climbed the tree as soon as they got on the < P > and pushed the blind Hughes onto the tree.
The giant frogs came to the tree and sprayed juice on it. However, the big tropical trees are too high, no matter how hard they try, they can't spray people.
everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mill ordered an emergency repair of the mobile phone.
The giant frogs stopped attacking. They are jabbering, as if they were discussing something. The giant blue frog, who seems to be the leader, is silent and seems to be < P > thinking hard. Suddenly, it gave a strange cry again. The giant frogs
seem to have got a new instruction, and they began to miraculously stack one by one like a pyramid
, and they piled higher and higher.
they are getting closer and closer to people!
"This is a brilliant idea!" Mill lamented in horror.
the situation is extremely urgent! Mill decided to attack with fire. He ordered the branches to be broken,
lit with a lighter, and then thrown downward at the rising giant frog echelon.
This trick really worked. The giant frogs immediately fled when they saw the fire. The giant frogs who were accidentally scalded by the fire screamed and rolled and crawled. The rest of them
retired after seeing it, but they still refused to leave.
people are a little relieved again. Mill ordered to hurry up and repair the mobile phone. Everything comes to him who waits, and the phone is finally fixed.
Mill immediately called the headquarters to report the danger and requested emergency rescue.
When the headquarters heard the news, it was shocked. After urgent consultation, it decided to take a two-pronged approach.
It took a set of measures to ensure the personal safety of the expedition members: on the one hand, it sprayed
the giant frog with a drug that was particularly lethal to amphibians; On the other hand, send a helicopter to rescue the players.
They told the expedition in time, and the team members gave a cheer
However, before the expedition members could breathe a sigh of relief, someone exclaimed
, "Here comes the blood frog!"
people quickly looked intently, and sure enough, there were more and more red spots in the dense forest, and they were getting closer and closer.
unlike giant frogs, blood frogs are good at climbing trees. After they climbed the tree, they kept
approaching the expedition members, approaching ...
Mir was frightened and ordered to attack with fire again. However, perhaps because fire is similar to the color of blood frog < P >, they are not afraid of fire. On the contrary, blood frogs
attracted and angered by the smoky fire just now in the forest came from all directions
and attacked the team members-
"external animals" who dared to harass their habitat! The effect of fire attack is not obvious, and there are so many blood frogs < P > that it is too late to throw torches, and throwing them indiscriminately will also cause fires. M
er ordered to stop the fire attack, it seems that they have to do nothing!
At this critical juncture, the sound of the helicopter is getting closer and closer
. People suddenly became more confident and grabbed branches and other "weapons" for a final < P > struggle. After the two helicopters arrived, the captain ordered the expedition members to cover their eyes, nose and mouth with clothes immediately, and then began to spray chemicals around them.
The blood frog and the giant frog really ran around.
immediately, the hanging ladder was quickly lowered on the plane. The expedition members in the tree boarded the helicopter. On the helicopter, some of these brave men who have repeatedly experienced risks in past expeditions cried ...
The price paid for this expedition was huge: one team member was blind; 3
players' arms and faces were ulcerated, and some muscles were bitten by giant frogs;
all the players were raw and bruised. The only gain of this investigation
is that there are very precious photos of blood frogs and giant frogs in Macaulay's camera
A thought-provoking research report
Because these two exotic frogs have special value in scientific research, the relevant departments immediately sent armed personnel into this vast forest to try to capture
some live blood frogs and giant frogs, but they were nowhere to be seen.
Mill thought it might be because the forest was too big, so he personally
led the people to search along the path of the last expedition again. However, after repeated searches, only the bodies of some blood frogs and giant frogs killed last time were found.
After anatomical analysis, experts in the United States and Brazil denied the statement that they are two kinds of frogs that have never been found on the earth, and thought that they were varieties of frogs known to mankind.
after the news was disclosed by the media, it immediately caused a sensation. People are generally concerned about
the question is: Why did the lovely frog become so terrible?
A joint investigation team composed of the United States and Brazil collected the water samples and atmosphere in the
area of these two frogs, and made a scientific analysis. The conclusion shocked the biology
academic circles: this is caused by the deterioration of the environment! Scientists have the following reasons:
-
Originally, the living environment of these two frogs was very good. However, due to the increasingly serious pollution in recent
years, the content of harmful
heavy metals that can cause animal variation in forest water sources has increased at an alarming rate. Frogs are very mutable
animals, which survive for years in such an environment.
