Shibaura☆Animals

Do you know the food chain?

Sure.
Human and animal are must eat the food.

However,animals Not only it.

So, chickens eat grain. Human beings are eating this chicken.

That's the "food chain".

Look at the this picture.

This picture　called ecological pyramid.
Do not need give food to plant. Let's look.
It has produced organic matter by photosynthesis. So it has been referred to as the manufacturer of the natural world. Animal is called the consumer of the natural world in reverse.

Plants are referred to as growers. There are things that play a different role.

Thing called decomposers

Bacteria and Earthworm in the soil.It break down the waste and carcasses.
Plants are sucked up as a nutrient it is.
Are in the very bottom of the ecological pyramid.
Producer and consumer is a lot .Higher-order consumers, it little.

Food does not disappear.Because there are decomposers.
Foundation of stable food in that there are decomposers.And so is balanced.

There is no such a thing!
But it needs long period to put back.
However, it may not be restored.

Amphibian have a serious problem.

Amphibian is on the verge of extinction.Are many types of.

Ah.
Takes to infectious diseases, as frog chytrid disease. Then will not be breathing skin. And it will die.
　There is other.For example, amphibians have a specific　mucosa.It will die environment is changed.
There is other.Alien species is increasing.So the original species has declined.

Amphibians may be gone 100 years later.

Do you know the relationship of the food chain?

Good to hear.
Amphibians, are in the layer below in the pyramid.
When amphibians disappear .....

Sure.
Animals eat amphibians.What animal will be?

That is not !!
It 's a matter of life and death in the animal.Because animals eat amphibians.
Food of animal disappear? Then, Animals will die.
Then?

Let's cherish all animals.

Yeah.

They can not them.

Let's think in Japan.
Japan huh island nation.
They are making the ecological balance of its own among the island nation.
And put a non-native species that came from other continents ...What happens?

In fact, they prey on animals that were in the land that originally, killed.

They can not do it.
Endemic species is only a little enemy. Alien species there are full of enemy .Which is strong? Alien species and endemic species.

The weak will become prey.
Would have been killed.

In fact, it is true in all animals.

What's the matter?

Humans are deeply involved.

You not.　It would not do such a thing.

That throw away the animal.

It was good if you like everyone

Some people to throw away the alien species out well.

More from there, the ecosystem is going to collapse.

I will introduce how to remedy of the frog chytrid disease. And the frog chytrid disease's fear.
Tamaki Please keep listening to my words well.

Frog chytrid disease is due to molds. It is a molds that amphibians only take.

If we are infected, then the skin expansion to 40 times.
We will not be able to skin respiration then.
And, there is a 90% fatality rate. So we will die.

Please go to consult a vet and do not throw away the water in the aquarium.
　You must disinfection or incineration to breeding container.
And,If I die,you must incinerated me.
If you do not it,leads to outdoor infection.

But,I have happy news!

I heard by TV.Many of the amphibians of Japan have high resistance to the disease .

Giant salamanders so has resistance to the disease .

Yeah.
