Monkeys can be said to be the "resident guests" of the zoo, and they can be found in almost all zoos. Monkeys are of the same ancestor as humans, so there will be some similarities in many ways.
Monkeys, like humans, do not have an obvious breeding period, almost any month is their breeding period, and it can be said that the monkey's reproductive ability is very strong.
There is a zoo in Japan that found that a female monkey in the park suddenly gave birth to a baby monkey.
This is not surprising, after all, monkeys are naturally active and have a high IQ, and if they hide their pregnant belly during pregnancy, it is generally not easy to detect.
But for this zoo in Japan, this is a very surprising thing, after all, this monkey has always "lived alone", how can it be pregnant?
When many netizens saw the news, they began to speculate that this was another genetic test conducted in JapanAfter all, Japan has been conducting "** embryo experiments" before.
Could it be that the father of this little monkey is really not a monkey but a certain person?With this speculation, the keeper of the female monkey quickly became the object of suspicion. So what's the truth?
The pregnant female monkey is a white-handed gibbon, named Momo, who lives in a zoo in Nagasaki, Japan, and Momo is also the top star of the zoo, and she is very good-looking.
It is worth mentioning that the white-handed gibbon is more timid and is not suitable for a lot of off-field sports. And due to human hunting and destruction of the forest environment, the number of white-handed gibbons has been decreasing.
To better care for Momo, the zoo caged him. As Momo grew in size, she lived in a large single room until she became an adult.
The zoo has assigned a keeper to Momo who takes good care of him. The breeder is a young single guy. In this way, Momo lived alone in the zoo for many years.
Although taking care of animals seems to many people to be a very boring job, the keepers at Momo have always been very attentive to her. It will provide it with the best in terms of food and housing.
In order to maintain Momo's "beauty and elegance", the keeper also frequently cleans her residence. People who are so reasonable and meticulous should be able to discover Momo's pregnant belly as soon as possible.
But in fact, no, until one day, when the keeper went to feed Momo, he found that there was a baby gibbon next to her. This frightened the keepers, and their first reaction was that a baby gibbon had strayed into the cage.
Momo seemed to be very concerned about the baby gibbon being exposed to the public eye, and she protected the baby gibbon behind her without waiting for the keeper to take a closer look. The keeper walked around the cage and found that there was no place for the baby gibbons to enter and exit.
So he had to report the situation to the zoo's director. At first, the director thought he was joking, until he walked over and realized that there was really a baby gibbon.
After some examination, it is almost certain that the baby gibbon is Momo's child. Then the question arises, how can momo be a hermaphroditic animal, so how can it be possible to have a child while living alone?
So, for a while, the father of the little monkey became a mystery. There were five male monkeys with Momo at the time. There are three on the left and one on the right of the momo. There is also a dad who is Momo and lives in the same place as Momo.
But Momo's dad has a separate cage. Not only that, but in order to avoid inbreeding between the father and daughter, the park will arrange for them to "work" at different times, so they rarely meet.
Through on-site measurements, it was found that the monkeys on the left and right sides were also difficult to contact with Momo, which means that the suspicion of five male monkeys was ruled out.
However, compared to who the father of the little monkey is, the zoo is obviously more concerned with the health of the little monkey, after all, it is a happy event for Momo to be pregnant and give birth.
And the breeders who care about MOMO the most are naturally more attentive. But this concern actually brought a lot of trouble to himself. Because the zoo began to spread a saying that the keeper was the father of the little monkey.
It sounds very outrageous, but some people can still say it well, and even find "evidence" to support their claims.
The first is that the breeder is a single young man, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no "moral degradation and distortion of human nature".
Moreover, Momo was taken care of by him, but he didn't know anything about his pregnancy, which is completely illogical, unless he chose not to report it because he was afraid and difficult to speak.
So is this nonsense or is it just the truth?It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but this rumor has not stopped, and it has actually reached the ears of the breeder.
It made him angry, and although he really didn't know who Momo's father was, he was sure it wasn't himself. So he began to apply to the principal to find a way to find a father for Momo's children.
On the one hand, it is to clear one's name, and on the other hand, it is also hoped that this "unsolved mystery" can be really solved. The director must also hope that there will be no outrageous rumors in the park, so he began the journey of "solving the case".
As a result, Momo's father was really found, so who is he?How did you find him?
In real life, when many people want to verify whether their children belong to them, they will conduct a personal identification. Nowadays, paternity testing mainly uses DNA technology.
Thinking of this, the keeper offered to test the DNA of Momo's children and five other male monkeys. Originally, the park disagreed, after all, they had no possibility of contact with Momo, how could they be the father of the little monkey?
But on second thought, Momo can't be parthenogenesis, her children must have fathers, and starting with the five male monkeys around her is indeed the most convenient way.
Unexpectedly, this test really found the child's father, which is Momo's biological father. As soon as the results came out, the breeder was relieved, and now the rumors about himself can finally disappear completely.
But a new problem arises again. The reason for separating Momo from his father in the first place was to avoid inbreeding between the two. Because monkeys, like humans, inbreeding can cause some problems in the offspring.
So the zoo immediately examined all aspects of Momo's children's bodies. Fortunately, the results of the examination made everyone completely relieved, because the little gibbon was very healthy in all indicators.
When the dust settled, someone suddenly raised the question of how Momo got pregnantAfter all, she has very little contact with her father, and there is an iron fence to isolate her.
Did Momo get out of the "net", or did his father cross the "prison"?As a breeder of momo, he was very concerned about this problem, so he often went to see momo, hoping to find out the reason for her pregnancy through observation.
However, after several days of observation, Momo behaved as if he was unfamiliar with his father. If it weren't for the paternity test, who would have seen that the two monkeys "have one leg".
Once, when the keeper was cleaning Momo's "room", he found a small hole, and then he suddenly realized that he finally knew the truth about Momo's pregnancy.
It turned out that although Momo and his father were separated, not all of them were barbed wire, and there was a place where wooden planks were used. And this plank has a hole in it, enough for Momo's father to put his own *** through this hole.
The gibbon's *** is actually very small, and the reason why I thought that the five monkeys did not suspect it before was because the barbed wire was extremely dense, and the male monkeys could not pass through the *** at all.
But this little hole in the plank was more than enough, and now all the fog was opened. The keeper was very happy to tell the director about the existence of the hole.
In order to avoid further "inbreeding", the park closed the small holes in the wooden planks and encrypted the "room" of the momo, so that there was no need to worry about male monkeys coming into contact with the momo.
Since many Momo fans were concerned about her pregnancy before, and now the matter has come to light, the park announced the ins and outs of this matter, also so that the audience does not misunderstand the breeder.
However, shortly after the announcement, the zoo was attacked by many fans, questioning why Momo was not allowed to breed normally, but to shut it down, animals should have the same rights to courtship and mate as humans.
Suddenly, the park was accused and abused by many people. If it makes sense to prevent Momo from mating with his father in order to avoid problems with his offspring, why can't the remaining four male monkeys fall in love with Momo and have children?
Isn't human intervention in animal reproduction an impersonal and inhumane act?So, why would zoos do this?Is it because you are afraid that too many monkeys will increase the cost of feeding?
The zoo where Momo is located quickly gave an explanation for the fans' doubts, it turns out that the zoo has clear regulations on the reproduction of animals, and it is lucky that Momo's recent breeding has been so smooth.
Generally speaking, recent reproduction will lead to many genetic diseases, resulting in congenital deficiencies of animal offspring, and even premature death. Many people may wonder why not release animals into the wild
In fact, it can be seen from the giant pandas in China that with the frequent human activities, the living environment of animals will gradually shrink, and the number of animals will gradually decrease.
China's national treasure panda was wild many years ago, but now it is becoming less and less. As many people know, pandas were originally omnivores, but now they have become "qualitatives".
This is the animal in order to adapt to the environment in the gradual self-change, and in order to ensure the number of pandas, China has a special giant panda breeding base. Through human intervention, the number of giant pandas in China is also rising.
Of course, every year in China, some strong giant pandas are selected for wild release. Wild giant pandas are also tracked in places where they are often seen, and if there are injured pandas, they will also be sent to the panda base for "recuperation".
With the continuous development of Xin**, more and more people have learned about pandas and other rare animals, and their love for them has gradually increased.
For example, pandas such as "Huahua", "The Third Prince of Xizhimen" and "Feiyun" have become the top performers at present, and people's awareness of protecting animals has gradually increased when watching these pandas.
In view of the age of the "Third Prince of Xizhimen", many people were heartbroken about his marriage, and many candidates for the "crown princess" were also selected, but when he sorted out his genealogy, he found that many of them were relatives, which was not good at all.
Seeing this, many people should understand why zoos intervene in the reproduction of animals, right?Sometimes it's not that you don't want to, it's really that you can't."
In fact, whether it is a zoo or an amateur, most people are very fond of small animals, and many animals also trust humans very much. Many animals have even given a lot of help to humans.
For example, in 2009, a diving competition was held in Harbin, China, although it was already July, but the temperature in Harbin was still extremely low.
A female diver suddenly began to cramp after diving to a certain depth, and just when she thought she was going to confess herself, a beluga whale spotted her.
Beluga whale bites her flippers and jacks her up all the way to the surface, where her teammates quickly come to her rescue. The beluga whale's teeth are very small, so the diver was completely uninjured.
In addition to beluga whales, many marine animals have stories of rescues. Probably the most common of us is dolphins, and there are countless stories of dolphins saving people, as if they are the "lifesavers" at sea.
In fact, there are many stories of mutual help between humans and animals, and the relationship between humans and animals has always been very wonderful, and there is a certain dependence on each other.
Many people have a hobby of raising cats, dogs and other pets, although it is very hard to be a "shovel officer", and sometimes you have to pay for the demolition of the hairy children, but the happiness brought by these hairy children is endless.
I believe that the breeder of Momo is also very concerned about Momo, and he can also experience a certain amount of happiness in the busy breeding work, after all, if he is not careful, there will be no such outrageous rumors.
So in reality, can humans and monkeys actually mate?The answer is actually no. Although humans and monkeys share the same ancestor, they have been separated for millions of years, and there is no longer the possibility of "union".
As for the "monkey child" circulating on the Internet, it has long been proven to be nonsense, and such creatures do not exist in the world. As people in the new era, we must learn to believe in science, treat things politely, and don't follow the crowd, otherwise some of our follow-up remarks will become the laughing stock of others.
