White-cheeked macaque, 2065438+On March 27th, 2005, this new species of macaque was discovered in Medog County, Tibet. Because this macaque has stable gray-white hair on its cheeks as an adult, it is named white-cheeked macaque. It is still very difficult to reach the model producing area of the white-cheeked macaque, through the jungle full of grasshoppers and ticks and over some steep cliffs. It is also in this way that the white-cheeked macaque and its virgin forest have been preserved, and this kind of monkey will hardly survive in the secondary forest near human villages.
The Tianxing white-browed gibbon was discovered in Gaoligong Mountain, Yunnan Province in 20 17, and it is also the only anthropoid ape named by scientists in China. Like other gibbons, the white-browed gibbon in Gaoligong is also a typical arboreal primate, inhabiting the moist evergreen broad-leaved forest, monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest and mountain rain forest in Zhongshan. Its habitat spans a large span, from about 500 meters above sea level to more than 2000 meters above sea level. Gaoligong white-browed gibbon even inhabits the forest at an altitude of 2700 meters. As a tropical species, winter at high altitude is a severe test for them.
2065438+On August 28th, 2007, Yunnan University announced the discovery of the world's earliest living worm about 520 million years ago? The earliest fossil records of two important ecological characteristics, host specificity and host transfer, were discovered for the first time, which further revealed the mystery of the origin of biological interdependence during the Cambrian life explosion.
Darwin's bark spider, which was discovered in Madagascar in 2008. It is understood that the web that this spider can weave is made of the strongest biological material known in the world. In order to survive, Darwin's bark spider became mottled and jagged in the process of evolution, which made it integrate with trees, so it was named Darwin's bark spider.
