Why do hundreds of Mongolian wild yellow sheep enter our country to look for food?

These yellow sheep are wild species. As long as they have legs, they can go anywhere. They have no sense of territory. Is it possible that anyone will ask them for passports? Moreover, this time it was just discovered that they came from Mongolia to forage in the China-Mongolia border area, which does not mean that its population grew in Mongolia. 1. Wild yellow sheep themselves grow in my country, and there are populations in Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Tibet.

Let’s talk about the wild yellow sheep first. It is a first-level protected animal in our country, and its living areas in the wild are relatively scattered. Their populations are distributed in several provinces and cities, but none of them have been found. Large populations of hundreds. The largest number of wild yellow sheep found in Gangcha County, Qinghai, is more than 200. This time, hundreds of wild yellow sheep were found foraging on the border between China and Mongolia. In addition to being cute, large groups of yellow sheep are relatively rare.

The areas where wild yellow sheep live have a unique characteristic: lack of water sources. This regional ecological defect has a relatively important impact on the wild yellow sheep population, and has even reached the point of endangerment. Moreover, fences in grazing areas are also factors that affect their survival. In order to avoid the pursuit of wolves, they often run around, but the fences used by our herdsmen to prevent wolves have also become walls that prevent their escape. 2. Because Mongolia is in the north of our country, their temperature is colder than that in our country, and the food of wild yellow sheep is less and less affected by the temperature.

Mongolia is further north than our country, and their temperature is lower than ours, so their vegetation is not far different from ours. There may even be less edible forage than ours, so in Mongolia Wild yellow sheep will slowly migrate south, and then they will enter our country. In recent years, due to environmental transformation, we have projects to prevent desertification in border areas such as Ordos, so our country has more vegetation in winter. , Therefore, these wild animals will also come to look for food.

Of course, the protection of animals has also been a bright spot in recent years. If it were still a period when poaching was not strictly controlled, what we see today would not be the cute wild yellow sheep. , but such exposure will cause them disaster. 3. These wild animals all migrate. It cannot be said that those hundreds of wild yellow sheep originally belong there.

Of course, these yellow sheep are also mobile. Wherever there is food, that is their home. They originally lived as a wandering population, and their population is also distributed in the border area between China and Mongolia. So it is not appropriate to say which country they belong to, because their migration follows the climate, unlike migratory birds. That way, it will fly south at a certain time, and then come back when spring warms up.

In Erenhot City, wild yellow sheep entering from Mongolia were found this time. Although the direction is from there, it cannot be said that they are the yellow sheep over there. If they are in the Inner Mongolia region of our country Once you adapt and have enough food and water, it is possible to survive there. After all, the migration of wild animals is not smuggling and will not affect the relationship between the two countries. 4. Wild animals have no sense of territory, and animals in other areas will also cross borders to find food.

Similar to this batch of wild yellow sheep, there are also wild elephants from Yunnan. These are all cross-border foraging. That is to say, in these areas, wild animals will also appear frequently. Although these areas Some aspects of the country are relatively backward and the economy is not very developed, but wild animals prefer these places. Perhaps our increasingly urbanized life has only retained us humans, but these animals prefer the simplicity of the past.

As for the wild animals in our country, in addition to unique species, there are also wild Siberian tigers, which are also found on both sides of our country and Russia. There are also brown bears, wolves, elk, etc., etc. Animals often cross borders in search of food. These have been recorded in books and video materials about people and nature.

Mongolia has a large population of yellow sheep. When food and water are scarce in winter, they often survive on both sides of China and Mongolia. In fact, some field photographers have photographed this before. Some people regard it as a Tibetan antelope.

Now our awareness of environmental protection is gradually increasing, and animal husbandry is becoming more standardized. Therefore, the habitats of wild animals are slowly recovering. By then, the population of wild animals should be better. Come more and more. However, animals are also divided into different levels of survival. Excessive protection of certain animals that are extremely reproductive and ecologically destructive, such as wild boars, may be counterproductive.
