In recent days, the elephants are foraging in fuliangpeng Township, Eshan County, with an altitude of 2074 meters. Over 2000 meters, generally speaking, elephants usually move in areas less than 1000 meters. High altitude means that the diet of elephants has changed. Elephants have been looking for food and running around for food.
Walking, eating, eating, visiting tour groups. It looks good, but it's actually determined by the elephant's physiological structure and unique habits. Elephants spend more than ten hours a day, half of the time to eat, food consumption is amazing, a day can eat about 150 kg to 200 kg of food, but also need to drink 60 kg to 70 kg of water. But a good appetite does not mean eating well and having good nutrition. Elephants eat so much, but their digestion ability is extremely poor. Many of the things they eat are pulled out intact.
Professor Shen Qingzhong, a member of the expert group, closely observed the elephant's movement path following the elephant group, collected the elephant's excrement for gene monitoring research. During the long-term evolution of elephants, the so-called "straight intestines" were formed, and the behavior of eating and pulling all the time provided the optimal "seed diffusion scheme" for plants. Plant seeds are least damaged in the intestines, where digestion is weak, and are scattered in different places by elephants who have been on the road.
