The role of wolves in nature
From an ecological point of view, wolves can control the number of herbivores, that is, play a role in maintaining the ecological balance between grasslands and forests. Moreover, they hunt the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, which also plays a rejuvenation role for herbivores themselves. Therefore, there should be wolves in nature; Without wolves, it is not a complete ecosystem.

People used to think that wolves were greedy and fierce, stealing livestock and attacking people in order to kill them.

In fact, as an important link in the biological chain, wolves play a very important role in nature. For example, it attacks deer and eats the old, weak and sick inside (it looks cruel), but it can make the deer's ingredients healthier and stronger. Moreover, there are many deer (rabbits, etc.). ), if there is no wolf's "control", let it develop, herbivores such as deer and rabbits will destroy grasslands and forests, and the result will still die in batches. Yellowstone national park in the United States has experienced such a thing.

Of course, when we say "protecting wolves", its real meaning lies in maintaining the ecological balance of nature, and we should not destroy the ecological balance of nature because of our misunderstanding.

The image of the wolf is cruel and fierce, but this is only one aspect, which has been exaggerated by people. Wolf is also a link in the whole biological chain, which plays a very important role in protecting ecological balance; I think this truth is easy to understand. I want to tell you a true story reported on TV the other day. I don't know if you have seen it. It is said that a wolf came to a village. At first, the villagers were afraid. Later, they found that wolves don't hurt people, and there are fewer and fewer rabbits destroying crops. People are no longer afraid of it, and even children are afraid to go near it. But things didn't go so peacefully. Trouble is coming. At first, some people found that the chicken was lost, and there was hard evidence that it was the wolf who stole the chicken. Not only that, people found that the wolf was pregnant again. The villagers were on pins and needles for fear that it would attract other wolves. People's worries are justified. Can it get pregnant without a male wolf? At this time, the relevant departments of the county became alert and launched a carpet search within dozens of kilometers of Fiona Fang. I didn't find any clues. It was not until this female wolf began to dig and dig holes, grab grass and prepare for childbirth that someone reminded: Is it the big black dog in the village? Is it? Finally, wolves were born, and two of them were black, just like the big black dog in the village. You said the big black dog didn't do it well. Who did? All right, that's all. Off topic? My name is1+1>; 2, there is no shortage, and the extra part is a treat. In fact, the above things are also very interesting. As a primary school student, the answer is too blunt. See you again.
