What are the benefits of pangolin scales?

Pangolin scales have long been considered to have medicinal properties. However, scientific research shows a lack of sufficient evidence for its efficacy. Some folk remedies claim that they can treat various diseases, but many of these claims have not been verified by rigorous clinical trials. In fact, overhunting of pangolins seriously threatens their survival and may pose risks to human health. We should view the efficacy of pangolin scales rationally, avoid superstition, and support conservation efforts to protect rare species.

Why are pangolins endangered?

The endangerment of pangolins is no accident. Illegal poaching for the precious scales and meat has caused severe human pressure. Habitat destruction also gradually reduces their living space. Conservation work is urgent. In addition to strengthening law enforcement, it is also necessary to raise public awareness of conservation in order to effectively curb indiscriminate hunting and give pangolins a chance to survive. Only by working together can pangolins return to nature and thrive.

What to do if you see a shark?

When facing a shark, calmness is crucial. Don't panic and quickly assess your situation. If you are in shallow water, swim as close to shore as possible and away from sharks. If you are in deep water, you should stay still to avoid angering the shark. Calling the emergency hotline and seeking professional assistance is the best strategy. Remember, the right response can effectively reduce the risk.

Why are dolphins mammals?

The anatomy of dolphins is highly similar to that of mammals rather than fish. Observing its characteristics such as viviparous reproduction and suckling young, they are all consistent with the definition of mammals. In addition, dolphins breathe air rather than dissolved oxygen in water, further supporting their mammal status. These biological evidences prove beyond doubt that dolphins are mammals, not fish. An in-depth exploration of its evolution will help us better understand its unique adaptability.

Why should we protect the Chinese white dolphin?

The Chinese white dolphin is a subspecies endemic to Taiwan and plays a key role in the ecosystem. Protecting them is not only to maintain biodiversity, but also the key to protecting the balance of marine ecology. The loss of the Chinese white dolphin will lead to a disorder of the marine food chain, thereby affecting the stability of the entire ecosystem. We have a responsibility to leave this beautiful and healthy ocean for future generations. Only by actively promoting conservation measures can Chinese white dolphins continue to thrive in Taiwan waters.

Why aren't crocodiles a fish?

Crocodiles, although they live in water, are not fish. Its respiratory organs are lungs, not gills; its body temperature is constant temperature, not variable temperature; its reproductive method is egg laying, not oviparous. These key differences fully demonstrate the different evolutionary lines of crocodiles and fish, as well as their unique ecological status. We cannot classify crocodiles as fish based on similarities in appearance alone. Only by in-depth exploration of their physiological structure and behavioral characteristics can we truly understand their biological classification.
