As one of the world's 100 most serious invasive species, the Fukushima snail is listed as one of the major hazardous agricultural invasive organisms by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) of our country, and it has proliferated in our country. In the past, the status of the Fukushu snail can still be a kind of gourmet food that is highly sought after by businessmen and eaters, but today, almost everyone has the reaction of talking about it. What is happening here? First of all, let's understand the animal Fukushima snail.

Fusu snail, a mollusk, mainly inhabiting the shallow waters around the pool, is an omnivorous snail with plant-based bait, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Central America, is now widely distributed in North America, Asia and other more than a dozen countries. China's Fukushu snail was introduced to Guangdong in 1981 by a Brazilian Chinese, widely cultivated in the province as a special cash crop, and then was introduced to other provinces. At that time, our countrymen knew little about the Fukushu snail, thinking that it can be casually placed in fresh water to find a dozen times the size of a large snail, very good to live, and set off a wave of raising Fukushu snail frenzy.

But gradually farmers found that the Fukushima snail is simply uncontrollable, it will climb to the rice paddies, eating just sprouted rice, eating plants on the roadside, Fukushima snail wherever they go a mess. In addition, the reproduction ability of Fukushou snail is very amazing, it can lay eggs 20 to 40 times a year, and the amount of eggs can be up to 30 to 50,000 cases per year, and the general snail only produces 100 to 150 snails a year, which shows how big the amount of eggs of Fukushou snail is. Breeding speed so fast Fukushou snail, not only to our ecological environment caused great danger, let our countrymen talk about Luo color change is the reason for that Fukushou snail incident. In Beijing, a restaurant in order to pursue the taste of the Fukushu snail, do not cook the Fukushu snail, resulting in a large number of eaten Fukushu snail moments headache, fever, skin tingling, burning and other symptoms, such patients have 87 cases, and finally the owner to 20 million dollars to quell the matter. However, after this incident, the Fukushou snail became an animal that people avoided because it contained a large number of parasites in its body, the most terrible of which was the Guangzhou roundworm, which could enter the human nervous system and travel in the medullary fluid of the brain, triggering severe headaches and even causing facial paralysis and so on. And then, the sale of Fusiliers was banned everywhere. But what should be done about the fuchsia snails that are proliferating in the fields?

At first, farmers could only pick up the snails one by one by hand and throw them away, but that didn't work. Then it was discovered that a bird of the family Insectidae called the snail kite was very fond of eating and consuming the fuchsia snail as its main food. Native to central America, the snail kite is a medium-sized raptor that inhabits swamps, with a curved whacking convexity at the edge end of its upper beak that makes it easy to tear into its prey, and with its sharp claws, almost all of the strength in its body is for the fusilier snail. After all, Murakumo's recipes and menus were pretty much dominated by Fuchsia snails. Only during times of drought when the number of Fukushou snails was sharply reduced would it occasionally prey on small animals, and when it hovered above the swampy river, it saw its prey, the Fukushou snail, and with a sharp dive and a claw, the Fukushou snail ended his short life.

Fukushou snail in its mouth a mouthful of one, it is like we usually suck snails as dry, they have to eat a lot of fukushou snail every day, he is not afraid of what parasites, just need to fill their stomach. China's introduction of a large number of snail kites to deal with the fusiliers, the number of fusiliers greatly reduced, indirectly protect the ecological environment and maintain the balance of our country. For the snail kite this kind of animal may be relatively unfamiliar to you, but then the other two natural enemies of the giant snail we are very familiar with, that is, the turtle and ducks. These two animals are often raised in rural areas, they found by chance that snappers and ducks like to eat snails very much, so they usually place ducks and snappers in the place where snails are overrun, and within a month, their numbers can be well controlled. These two animals are also fed to the white fat, now in our country on the flooding of Fukushima snail for a variety of biological control, its number is greatly reduced, before often in the fields, paths, ponds everywhere can be seen Fukushima snail scene continues to reduce, it seems that the Fukushima snail for our country has been no great threat. Do you still know what animals are specialized in eating Fukushima snails?
