Chapter 302 302. Wombat 5
The cool moonlight draped over the shoulders of the wombat who was planting seeds. Tu Feiyuan was panting heavily, and his fat body seemed a little overwhelmed.

Su Yun ate the food, sat by and observed, and when Su Yun filled his stomach, the mating of the wombats was coming to an end.

After mating, the little pig bear twisted its buttocks, as if it was satisfied with Doihara's performance, looked back at Doiyuan, and ran away into the distance with two whoops.

And Tu Feiyuan didn't feel any sense of loss, and also twisted his buttocks, panting heavily, and lay down at Su Yun's feet.

Putting down the cup, Su Yun scratched Dou Yuan's neck and said, "Little Piggy is off to the next love."

"During the mating season, male wombats are very busy. They will stay in the cave and wait for the female to come to the door. Then the two parties will complete the mating. After the mating is over, the male will stay in the cave and wait for the arrival of the next female. And the female goes to the next destination to mate with the next male."

"And there is another magical thing about females, that is, 100 fertilized eggs can be stored in the female pouch, but the female will only give birth to one cub."

After a pause, Su Yun said, "You must know that the survival rate of animal cubs in nature is very low. Even in ancient times, the productivity of human beings was equally low. It is because of the improvement of modern medicine that it gradually improved."

"However, if you look carefully, you will find that after the mating of wombats under the premise of sufficient food, the females almost have a child. What is the reason for this?"

[100 fertilized eggs! 】

【Do you think it is possible to transplant the fertilized eggs of wombats into other animals to give birth through abdomen? 】

[The idea is good, but the country will never allow it!Just like cloning, laws and regulations prohibit the cloning of human beings. 】

[I think the technology of cloning is really good, but the cloned ones are not very good, and they are too easy to get sick. 】

Rubbing between his brows, Su Yun said helplessly, "We're talking about wombats, why are we talking about cloning?"

"But since you are talking about cloning, I will also share my opinion. The first thing you know about cloning technology should be the cloned sheep Dolly in the junior high school biology textbook. We should really admit that cloning technology is very good, there is no doubt about it , but it's not mature yet."

The wombat turned over and motioned Su Yun to scratch its other half of the neck. Su Yun kept moving his hands, and then said, "Cloning has many benefits, such as breeding animals for animal husbandry and experiments, producing transgenic animals, and producing human embryonic stem cells." For cell and tissue replacement therapy, reproduction of endangered animal species, preservation and dissemination of animal species resources."

"The advantages I mentioned, do you think at first glance, 'I'll go, this technology is too good'. But these are currently impossible, because cloning technology is now in its infancy, and perhaps in the future It's possible to do that."

"Then someone will ask, can't the animals used in animal husbandry and experiments be cloned now? For example, the cloned sheep Dolly is a ready-made example."

Shaking his head, Su Yundao said, "In 1997, the birth of the cloned sheep Dolly really shocked the entire scientific community and became a hot topic at that time. However, six years later, the death of the cloned sheep threw a bucket of water on the originally eager scientists. cold water."

"Dolly the cloned sheep is a sheep. The normal lifespan of a sheep is 12 years, but Dolly the cloned sheep has only lived for 6 years, and this is the time under the careful care of humans. Why is this? Because the cloned sheep Dolly was prematurely aged at six years of age."

"Also, do you know how much it costs and time to clone an animal? Not to mention that the success rate is only 2% to 3%. The physique of the cloned animal is also different from that developed naturally, and it is more underground. Very susceptible to the virus."

After a pause, Su Yun said again, "Let's talk about the disadvantages. If cloning technology can really be used in this world, all male animals will lose their legacy significance, including humans! It also interferes with the natural evolution process, And genetically modified animals increase the risk of disease transmission. For example, if a cow that produces milk for a drug is infected with a virus, the virus can infect a patient through the milk."

"So, so far, cloning technology is immature, and the prospect is indeed bright, but it cannot be accepted by human beings for now."

Thinking about it, Su Yun smiled and said, "If the cloning technology is really mature, the cost and time of cloning will be reduced, and the success rate will increase, and the country will allow human cloning, what do you think will happen?"

[Laughing to death, there will be human extinction! 】

[If there will be human cloning, then those capitalists will definitely not care whether the young people still have children, because by then they will have an infinite labor force. 】

[The above is right, but the country will never allow this kind of thing to happen. At that time, the country will definitely find a way to let young people get married and have children, and the matter of human cloning will definitely be possed on the spot! 】

"Okay, let's talk about wombats next. I just mentioned that a female wombat will have a child after mating, and some viewers answered correctly because of the 100 fertilized eggs stored in it."

"Like other marsupials, the young will crawl into the mother's pouch and continue to develop, and wombats are no exception."

"After the female animal has a young in the pouch, she can still mate and conceive, but the fertilized eggs stop developing when they reach the 100-cell stage. If the young in the pouch dies, the embryo will continue to develop. If a cub is born, it can be said that there are endless descendants.”

Scratching his head, Su Yun shrugged and said, "This method can definitely bring up such a small wombat, but even so it is still in an endangered state."

"There is still a reason, because humans, mainly wombats are similar to groundhogs, they are a kind of scourge, they like to scourge the land, and have caused serious impacts on herdsmen, and then they were driven to extinction by humans, and they just became endangered animal."

With a snort, Su Yun joked, "You can see how powerful the herders are here. The emu ruined the pasture and became an endangered animal. The wombat harmed the land and became an endangered animal. The wild dog harmed the sheep and was killed by the herders." Kill if you see it."

"So, in Australia, you can mess with anyone, but don't mess with the herdsmen. Moreover, in the next few decades, the dingo will follow in the footsteps of the thylacine. After all, among this group of animals, the most touching What the herders benefit from is now the dingo."

The system completion prompt sounded. Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, that's it for today. See you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Su Yun turned off the live broadcast without hesitation, grabbed the wombat and got into the tent.
