But seriously, when I searched for anteaters and tapirs, I found that many people really confused them.
Because anteaters and tapirs mostly live in the same area in South America and Central America, only a part of Malai tapirs live in Southeast Asia. Moreover, the long nose in the portrait of the legendary dream eater in Japan really looks like an anteater.
Then Bian Xiao, I will use the knowledge I just learned to buy and sell for everyone, and popularize the difference between anteaters and tapirs!
Because tapirs are actually divided into several kinds, let's take Malai tapirs, which are close to us.
First of all, in the official image description, the most irritating thing is one sentence: like a pig but bigger than a pig. So you can recognize them at this point. This feature is too obvious! Who did you say the pig provoked? )
Moreover, their patterns are also easy to identify, that is, they feel that a pair of white trousers has worn into a creaky nest. Black and white is like a giant panda. Many ancient books also describe tapirs in this way: black and white barge can eat copper, iron and bamboo joints, and it is this comment that makes current researchers think that the ancients probably confused Malai tapirs with giant pandas. ...
Later, the image of the legendary tapir spread to Japan, and slowly there was a saying that you can eat bad luck and nightmares, so from the beginning, there was an image of eating dreams in the game of yin and yang. And because their noses are thin and long, some people will confuse them with anteaters.
So what exactly does Malai tapir eat? To tell the truth, people are real vegetarians and like buds, leaves, fruits, grass and aquatic plants best. They can eat a wide range of nearly 100 plants. So although I am a vegetarian, I am still so strong. Thinking about my diet meal, I suddenly feel that there is nothing to look forward to in the days of slimming.
Let's talk about anteaters again. There are also many kinds of anteaters. The picture we introduced yesterday is a small anteater in Izu cactus zoo. The big anteater is about1.8m long, while the small anteater is only about1.2m long. Of course, there are smaller Japanese anteaters. These young anteaters are the best sellers here. Although their patterns vary according to the distribution of different habitats, they are particularly famous and obvious as the "bib" of dabai underwear which is different from Maleykham.
Small anteater and anteater populations are mostly distributed in Central America and Central and South America, which can be regarded as far away from Wan Li. Everyone knows what they like to eat, that is, ants, termites and bees.
The big anteater eats like them, but it is bigger and eats more. Now, because of the loss of their habitat and hunting, the big anteater has become a fragile species, which is also very sad.
Hey, this is a little popular science I drew in Bianxiao. Well, I won't say any more. I'm going to cry to my boss. He deducted my salary yesterday.
