4 thoughts on “Why are the animals such as suburban wolves, in the process of urbanization, habitats have not increased?”

  1. The rapid development of the human world is basically in the past hundred years. When we were young, we often enjoyed future technology and future life, and to this day, the future has come! Although life today cannot be described as changing at all times, it is undeniable that the appearance of the sun and the moon is already an indisputable fact.
    In earlier years, we can often hear such a word called "urbanization", also called urbanization. Different angles have different understandings, but the general meaning is that with the development of social productivity, The process of transforming traditional rural society, which is dominated by agriculture, to non -agricultural -based modern urban society.
    City
    The urbanization is often accompanied by infrastructure construction, such as building roads, etc. The past experiences and phenomena tell us that in the process of people's urbanization, the living space of wild animals will gradually be compressed, and even even Many lives have become extinct.
    but there are exceptions in everything. In North America, there is such an animal. In the process of human development and urbanization, not only does it not show the phenomenon of "people entering beasts and retreat", but with the development of human beings The number of it is also increasing. With the advancement of urbanization, its habitat is gradually expanding. This animal is a suburban wolf.
    Surbs in the city
    What kind of animal is the suburbs? We may be more familiar with the gray wolf and the beh wolf. I believe that many friends have heard of suburbs for the first time. Due to translation problems, many people who are not familiar with this animal in China will call them "to the welrs". But in fact, the welle is another very different animal. It belongs to the Department of Permanent dogs and Loguka. I do n’t talk about it here. Interested friends can read the articles I wrote before.
    The suburbs, like the gray wolf, and the beh wolf, are all dog animals. In terms of kinship, it is close to the gray wolf and is close relatives. In simple terms, the proportion of the head and body of the suburban wolf is greater than the gray wolf, but it is less than the fox, and the appearance is slightly "fox".
    This gray wolf
    The is different from the geographical distribution, the suburbs can be divided into 19 subspecies in total, and there are some differences in the shape between different subspecies. For example More dense, the suburban wolf hair color in high altitude areas is light gray, while the suburban wolf hair color in the desert area is mostly tan, but in general, the suburban wolf has large vertical long ears, drooping tails, and narrow ones. Snout.
    Surorary wolf body is much smaller than the gray wolf. The average male weight is 8-12 kg, and the female is 7-18 kg. Generally speaking, the more the geographical location is to the north, the greater the weight of the suburbs. It was discovered in Waioma Mingzhou in 1937, as high as 34 kg, which was close to the weight of ordinary gray wolves.
    Most canine animals are living in groups, and suburbs are no exception, but their group life is different from animals such as wolves. Most of the suburban wolves are active together with small family -style teams. When deer categories, multiple small families will work together. The viscosity among such team members is not high. Often, after the hunting activities are over, they dissolve with each other.
    It the suburban wolf living in the suburbs, or the suburban wolf in the city is basically separate or paired, because in the suburban wolves in these areas, the largest food source is human domestic garbage. High, and acting alone helps get more food resources.

    Thenian for a century, expanding the habitat by 40%of "people entering beasts and retreat" is a common phenomenon in the world. When the number of population increases, it occupies more natural resources At the time of, the living space of wild animals will be compressed, and it will gradually retreat to more rare areas, even extinct.
    For example, the South my country tiger in China, before the 1950s, social productivity was not well developed. People lived a relatively backward farming life. Being able to keep a relative harmonious get along. At this stage, the vast majority of my country's forests live in South China tigers.
    Tigers
    . After the 1950s, social productivity developed rapidly, and the population increased. Large meat -eating beasts such as tiger and leopard are particularly prominent. Tiger leopards frequently prey on livestock and hurt people. In the end, people will kill them. After the 1990s, wild South China tigers nationwide.
    The lions with the same size and ecology are no exception as a tiger. For the African lion, compared with the historical distribution, the lions in North Africa have disappeared in the wild, and the living conditions in central and southern Africa are not good. Under the influence of human activities, habitats have become severe, existing like islands.

    It, as mentioned earlier, there are exceptions, "people entering beasts and retreat" are the main phenomenon, but there is also a phenomenon of "people entering beasts". Good embodiment.
    Prior to the arrival of European colonists, the Aboriginal people in the Americas lived a relatively primitive life. At this time, the suburbs were mainly living in some drought or plain in North America. After the arrival of European colonists, the North American people changed. With the development of human beings and urbanization, the number of suburban wolves is also growing. Compared with historical levels, habitats have increased by about 40%. Now in the streets and parks of many cities in the United States, they can Seeing the figure of the suburban wolf, even in the prosperous queen area, the suburbs have stood on the roof of people.

    1900 years ago, the main habitat of the suburban wolf is concentrated in Mexico, two -thirds of the western United States, and a small part of South Canada. After more than 100 years of development, By 2016, after researchers estimated that the habitat of the suburban wolf had expanded to most regions of North America, and Central America was almost distributed throughout the territory. The figure has appeared in South America.
    From the expansion trend of 1900-2016, the expansion direction of the suburban wolf habitat is almost expanded from the center to any angle around the center.

    Suburban wolf is a relatively old animal in North America. It has lived for millions of years in the local area. Many people may think about it here. The reason why the suburban wolf develops with the development of the human world, the reasons for the number of quantities and habitats may be because people have not killed them!
    But the real reason is really not the case. In fact, after entering the 19th century, people have already started to kill a large number of suburbs. Even today, the United States spends a lot of money every year The left and right suburbs and hunting methods have also been upgraded. From the most primitive traps, hounds, etc. to modern helicopters, they still cannot stop the footsteps of the suburban wolf spread, so there must be other deeper reasons.
    Human hunting and killing suburbs
    The phenomenon of the number of suburban wolves and the reasons for the increasing increase in habitats is a very small exception, which naturally attracted the interest of many scientists. Deep, people gradually discovered the mystery behind. Judging from the expansion of habitats since 1900, after entering the 20th century, the human world has developed rapidly, and North America's urbanization has advanced rapidly. However, during this time, we found that the expansion of the suburban wolf has not declined. It even "accelerated", which shows that the process of urbanization not only does not hinder the development of suburban wolf breeding, but even helps it.
    The urbanization process has destroyed the opponent in the suburbs in North America. The habitat of many predators such as the American lion, the Grizzlies, and the gray wolf Judging from the incident, the gray wolf, the American lion, the Grizzlies, the American black bear, the crocodile, the gold sculpture, and even the Canadian phenomenon have preyssing the suburban wolf, especially the gray wolf. It has a strong inhibitory effect on the development of suburban wolves.
    The research based on the western United States shows that in areas where there are more gray wolves, the number of suburban wolves is about 30%less than the area where there is no gray wolf.
    The murderers of the gray wolf
    "Bate competition" is a common phenomenon in the animal world. For example, the Siberian tiger and wolf in the Far East of Russia, there is a strong "inter -species competition" The relationship is manifested as the development of the wolf group in the Siberian tiger. People observe that at a very high level of the tiger, the number of gray wolves is extremely scarce, and the development is stagnant. Next, the number of wolves became more.
    of course, this phenomenon will not only appear on the body of carnivores, herbivores, and even between the two trees, such as the white -tailed soil mouse, which will be observed that it will kill Wylomine. Essence
    The white -tailed native mouse killed the Wyolian ground squirrel
    back to the topic. The answer is that with the advancement of urbanization, large predators such as Gray Wolf and America Lions have been seriously affected. The number is sharply reduced. As an example of the gray wolf, because the habitat has been destroyed by people and the habitats have repeatedly shrunk, in the 19th century, so in the 19th century, so in the 19th century, so in the 19th century Inside, the number of North American gray wolves has severely declined.
    After entering the 20th century, the gray wolf is no longer seen in most parts of North America. Even in some states where the gray wolf survive, they are just living in the wild, human cities, human cities. It is a place where the gray wolf dare not set foot.
    The disappearance of the gray wolf caused the suburban wolf to lose the most important predators, so naturally ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. In addition, people's awareness of environmental protection was generally increased, and they paid more attention to the ecology of urban and suburbs. Construction has increased the number of many wild animals, especially deer, almost explosive growth in the suburbs.
    The surrounding grass eaters are more. In fact, it has benefited not only the suburban wolves, but also the American lion and the gray wolf. However, in comparison, the suburban wolf develops faster.

    The strong adaptability of the super -superior adaptation, so that it can be carefully observed in the city. In fact, it is not difficult to find that the habitat of the suburban wolf can continue to expand in the past 100 years. An important reason is that they adapt to human cities, can live well in it, and treat human cities as part of their habitat.
    In the United States, except for a few areas such as Hawaii, the suburbs are almost national distribution. People have found the nest of the suburban wolf in a parking lot in a stadium in Chicago. Cubs, they built the nest in a relatively hidden corner.
    The suburban wolf can take root in the city, which is derived from their strong adaptability. Many wild animals in the world are not suitable for artificial breeding, such as snow leopard, rabbit, mane and so on. When artificially raising, they always encounter such problems. Among them, the most often faces disease problems. But the suburban wolf is an exception. It survives in the human activity area, and the physical fitness is much stronger than the suburban wolf who lives in the wild.
    The reason is that the molar chewing area of ​​the suburban wolf is large, indicating that it has higher degree of acceptance of plant -based foods than carnivorous animals such as gray wolves.
    Surorary wolves in the city to pick up fruits
    The understanding, that is, in addition to being able to eat meat, the suburbs can also receive foods such as rice, bread, fruits, and vegetables. The suburban wolf living in the city has changed their "schedule" based on the laws of human activities. They know which time to find the trash can in order to maximize the food. Traveling through the road, knowing where to build a nest to avoid human disturbances.
    The sufficient food residues in the city make the suburbs not need to be hungry and diversified food, which also makes their body nutrition more balanced and stronger.

    In the magical survival mode of the suburban wolf, think about it, most of the animals that can still be killed in large quantities, basically they have superb reproduction capabilities, such as once. The rabbit who flooded in Australia made the Australian people unable to disturb the Australian people like "the wildfire was endless and the spring breeze blew again". Is this the case?
    Actually not, the suburbs can reach sexual maturity when they are about one year old. They are pregnant once a year. The number of childbirth in one child is 6. However, compared with rabbits, there are still a lot of gaps, so the "breeding power" is not the reason why suburban wolves can still increase under a large number of people.
    Surbs and its cubs
    The survival mode of the suburban wolf is amazing. It is said that it is a group animal, but most of the time can act alone; In fact, the suburban wolf can choose the best survival mode according to the actual situation, which can also be reflected in the wolf's body.
    For example, experts from the Belarusian Academy of Sciences did an ecological study in the Nalipkki Forest that the wolf here will be in the cold season and the prey is low. When the level is high, the number of lone wolves is more, even more than the number of group wolves.
    The wolf in the Nalibaki Forest
    The flexible survival mode allows the suburbs to adapt to more complex environments, especially human activity areas. The suburban wolf is an animal with a consciousness of the territory. When a habitat, if the number reaches the saturated state, its population development will enter a very slow stage, even stagnation.
    The people to kill a certain number of suburban wolves in a certain area each year means that the area is cleaned up, and it has become a "no place". Opportunities, so it won't take long, these areas will be full of a large number of suburban wolves. This is one of the reasons why people are still not effective even if they invest a lot of funds to kill suburbs.
    It, if a certain amount of individuals are killed all year round, the mortality rate of suburban wolves remains high, then according to the principle of "survival of the fittest", the suburbs will continue to evolve to adapt to this change, which will be directly manifested as the fetus. The number of babies increased, and the individual maturity period became shorter.
    Recently, some scholars have put forward a new point of view. They believe that when the density of the suburban wolf in the suburbs and the city decreases, it will hybridize with dogs and gray wolves. The quantity can also be rapidly increased in a short time. Due to the addition of dogs and wolves, the gene diversity is richer. Therefore, these hybrid descendants are stronger and more adaptable to the suburban life.

    The suburban wolves are not currently about the suburban wolf. In fact, the controversy in the society is still relatively large. In the eyes of animal protectors, this is a typical example of wild animals adapting to human society. It is an example of harmony between man and nature. As a species in North America, the suburban wolf has its own preciousness.
    It the surrounding suburbs of many cities in the United States are full of large amounts of wild deer and other animals. These hoofs will have an impact on the normal production of farmers and farmers, and will also cause damage to the suburban environment. Of course, the most direct bad impact is that they cross the road and cause traffic accidents. The ecological position of the suburban wolf in North America is similar to that of this animal. It naturally restrains these herbivores and maintains ecological balance. It can also reduce deer deer. The cause of traffic accidents, in this regard, the existence of the suburban wolf has its own significance.
    Surorary wolf prey on deer
    , in some pets, the suburban wolf is the biggest threat factor of pet cats and pet dogs. In the city, there are almost no large predators, and the suburbs wolf wolf wolf wolves The arrival caused those pets, or pets raised in the yard.
    In the final analysis, the suburban wolf is a predator. In reality, there are many incidents of predation of pets in suburban wolves, but most of the cats and dogs predated by the suburban wolf are not tied, or they are directly wandering. Cats and dogs. The suburbs are hidden, that is, when it is not very hungry, if you see prey that is easy to capture, it will also kill it, and then hide it next time.

    In addition to worrying that it will prey for cats and dogs, more and more voices now indicate that they are worried that it will attack young children. In the eyes of wild animals The height, and the young children are small and short. In theory, the suburban wolves have the courage to attack them.
    But in reality, there are very few reports about the suburban wolf attacking humans. This is related to their personality. The suburbs are afraid of people. Even if they live in the city, try not to contact people. If you attack them, generally, the suburbs will not attack people. However, for safety reasons, there are still many sounds that support the suburban wolf out of the city.

  2. Human beings destroy their opponents for suburbs; strong adaptability. The advancement of urbanization, the reduction of large carnivorous animals such as the American lion and the gray wolf, and eliminated the opponents of the suburban wolf; the suburbs are more good at adapting to various living environments.

  3. 1. It fully illustrates that animal protection has achieved good results, and cities can tolerate wildlife.
    2. It can reflect the strong adaptability of the suburban wolf, and the humans and animals are coexisting in harmony.

  4. With the continuous destruction of human beings, there are fewer and fewer species on the earth, and many animals have become extinct. With the acceleration of urbanization, the speed of species extinction is getting faster and faster, but there is an exception. That's a welle. Why is the habitat of soil and welded in the process of urbanization increasing? In fact, this is because the natural enemies of the corner have decreased, but the sources of food of the coyers have not decreased. Therefore, the number of correes is increasing, which has led to more and more habitats.
