Onderzoekers from the University of Oxford hebben in Indonesia opnames can maken van a zeldzame en raadselachtige soort mierenegel waarvan will thought that this was what. Het dead now toe enige gende – en dode – exemplaar werd vernoemd naar de confessed Britse televisiebioloog Sir David Attenborough. Just a few years later, the bizarre creature is discovered, in one of the world’s largest areas.
KIJK. Eindelijk gevonden: bizarre, egg-laying zoogdier with 60 years of heritage
The long-snailed jellyfish Zaglossus attenboroughi is an intriguing, rare sleeper. This one is hard, heeft the stekels of a egel, the snuit of a miereneter and the voices of a mol. It’s actually real leeches. He is an egg-laying zooid and is related to the bird bedding.
Netherlands museum
For the presentation of the history of fauna and flora in New Guinea, there will be a good example available to British presenter David Attenborough. This example, discovered in the years by a Dutch plant expert, is located in the collection of the Onderzoeksinstituut Naturalis in Leiden, at the Natural History Museum of the Netherlands. He was some proof of the zeldzame Mierenegel ooit heeft betaan.
“Expedition Cyclops”
Dead now. Want to open this time to the other zooekers from the University of Oxford plots on an expedition in Indonesia and the Zaglossus Attenboroughi opeeld, which reports from the British University in a personal report.
The wetenschappers want to have a zoo in front of them and trip on the pictures from the sea on a high-speed wildcamera, which has an open location in front of them on the view of the Cycloopberge, a quiet rain forest on the greens of Indonesia and Papoea-Ni euw-Guinea.
This is a personal herontdekking ruim zestig year later, which proves that the zeldzame mierenegel is not heard from David Attenborough, and is not taken into account. “Een van de meest ongewone zoogdieren ter world is eindelijk op film vastgelegd,” cheers the university of Oxford.
Op de laatste SD-card, op de laatste dag van de expeditie
“I was euphoric, the team was euphoric,” says producer James Kempton on BBC News about the moment he was shot on camera. “I don’t have a good idea when I see it on the very last SD-card, which we came to, on the very last day of our expedition.” Kempton had contact with Attenborough, which resulted in a new one.
Naast de ontdekking van Attenborough’s “verloren mierenergel” ontdekte de expeditie overigens also nog several new types of insects and kikkers, and the gezonde populaties boomkangoeroes and paradijsvogels warnemen.
Aardbevingen and bloedzuigers
It never gets lost in one, two, three. The Cycloopbergegte – the summer peak as ‘de groene hel’ – is extremely steep and difficult to misjudge. The highest heights of the area were as large as they were, with the Wetenschappers in the area and the mountains climbing, surrounded by poisonous slangs and other animals, with steep cliffs on the left and right of the hen. Bovendien regende het vaak pijpenstelen.
That’s not everything. The expeditieleden will be climbed two times before they will be confronted with a fire and will be on the other side of the mountain, which can be climbed in two places, and they will be able to climb on the other side of the mountain. A lid lies zelfs anderhalve dag rond with a bloedzuiger op zijn oogbol, voor het onding adelijk kon verwijderd in a ziekenhuis. Another onderzoeker had two arms with two bruises, and another one had malaria.
It is a good idea for the team to help with an Indonesian natural protection organization and to report to the on-site help and knowledge of locals.
Absolutely amazing
“Het was ongelofelijk”, aldus het team. “We were constantly in ecstasy: ‘No one could hear it,’ said We Tegen Elkaar. Of ‘my god, I can never love that and that’. It was a monumental expedition.”
Sommigen noemen het gebergte de groene hel, maar ik vind the landscape magical, betoverend en gevaarlijk tegelijk, as iets uit a Tolkien book
Well James Kempton had a wonderful look. “Sommigen noemen het gebergte de groene hel, maar ik vind the landscape magical, betoverend en gevaarlijk tegelijk, als iets uit aen Tolkien-boek,” says Hij hoog te houden.’s Avonds knew we behaved uit rond het vuur, omringd door het kwetter and beeped from kikkers.”
