A crocodile appeared in a community in Jiangsu, crawling around in the corridor, and the residents were frightened: where did it come from? When I came home after a day of work, I just walked into the corridor and saw a crocodile crawling around. What kind of experience is this? A few days ago, in a residential community in Suzhou, Jiangsu, local residents felt it for real. According to the resident of the building, as soon as she entered the corridor, a crocodile suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she was frightened, and she hurriedly called the police for help. Subsequently, the local police rushed to the scene, and it took more than 10 minutes to finally control the crocodile and send it to a local breeding base for resettlement. However, although the matter came to an end, the residents in the building But I still can't worry about it: how come there are crocodiles in the community? Besides this one, are there any other "accomplices"? Then why are there crocodiles in the corridors of the community? what on earth is it?
It is reported that the crocodile that appeared in Suzhou residential area this time is not a native crocodile in my country, but an exotic species - Siamese crocodile. Its wild populations mainly live in Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and other places in Southeast Asia. Although the Siamese crocodile caught in Suzhou this time is only more than 70 centimeters long, the adult Siamese crocodile can reach 4 meters. It can be seen from this that if it is not caught, it will definitely be an inconvenience for the local residents. Small "safety hazard". After all, crocodiles are also a kind of beasts. When they are in a tense situation, they will also take the initiative to attack people. For example, in August last year, two Siamese crocodiles appeared in a garbage dump in Dalian, my country. Although they were both juveniles, when the local wildlife department and volunteers caught them, there were still volunteers. Bitten by them, the palms were dripping with blood. And in March 2018, a guy in Ningbo bought two Siamese crocodiles as pets, one of them died not long after, and the other one survived, but as he became an adult, it grew bigger and bigger. Big, this guy didn't have a place to put it in his house, so he put it in a pond near his house, but he didn't expect his neighbor to be bitten by this released Siamese crocodile while washing his hands by the pond because he didn't know it. There are many similar situations, so it is said that if the Siamese crocodile in Suzhou is not discovered in time, it may cause a catastrophe in the future. So, here is a new question, where did the Siamese crocodiles crawling around in this corridor come from? After investigation by the police, it was soon confirmed that the Siamese crocodile was fed by a resident in the building. The door of the resident's house was not closed that day, and the crocodile sneaked out by himself, which was why this was created. "crisis". So why would anyone keep a Siamese crocodile? Isn't it illegal in our country?
Although the wild Siamese crocodile is a "critically endangered species" and is at risk of extinction, there are also artificially farmed Siamese crocodiles. The 6 Siamese crocodiles in the field were washed away, which caused quite a stir at the time, especially the local residents, who were very worried that these crocodiles would hurt people. However, it is one thing to farm a Siamese crocodile, and quite another to buy it as a pet. Because in our country, individuals are not allowed to keep Siamese crocodiles casually. After all, they are different from kittens and puppies, and they still pose a certain threat to people. Therefore, if an individual wants to raise Siamese crocodiles, not only the buyer and the seller need to be qualified, but also the relevant breeding licenses need to be obtained, otherwise, it is an illegal act. This also means that it is absolutely impossible to directly buy a Siamese crocodile and keep it at home, especially if it is abandoned, it must be strictly investigated and punished according to law. So, what harm will the Siamese crocodile released into the wild in our country bring?
If it is an artificially bred farmed Siamese crocodile, they have been "staying" with people since birth, so they do not have any ability to survive in the wild at all. Therefore, whether it is a juvenile individual or an adult Individuals, released into the wild, have a high probability of being a dead end. On the one hand, the Siamese crocodile itself is a heat-loving species, and most of the climate environment in our country is not suitable for them to survive. For example, the Siamese crocodile found in Dalian, my country, even if it survives by chance, it is fundamental There is no way to spend the winter in the wild, and the final result is "frozen and starved to death". On the other hand, as alien species, they appear in the wild in our country, and they will also have an impact on the local ecological environment. For example, they will seize the territory and food of other species. In this way, the local ecosystem will be easily destroyed. Over time, the native biodiversity will also be affected. Of course, the most worrying point is that Siamese crocodiles will bite people, so they also pose a threat to people when they appear in the wild. Therefore, if you see Siamese crocodiles in the wild, you must contact the relevant departments to deal with them in time, so as not to let them become "safety risks".
