Insite Into The most Unknown

Now for little on the lost guys. Our world has said good bye to a great many animals. We have taken over and greedily taken so much from the earth and are only giving back too little. We take and crush everything around us until there is nothing left. There are very few of us left in the world that can see the beauty that is being taken from the earth.  And not just the animals. Their habitats too. Not many people know the beauty of the rain forests or jungles or at the bottom of the oceans. But there is beauty there. A kind of raw natural beauty that cannot even be described.

So now I would like to donate this area of my blog to some of the most amazing lost animals that no one stood up for.

Pre Modern

Camarasaurus. Meaning chamber lizard. Due to the holes in its vertibrae. A herbavor found in North Amarica. They traveled in herds or “Family” groups. Camarasaurus eggs have been uncoved in a neat line unlike other dinosaurs in which they have neat and tidy nests. In which tells us they they did not tend to there young.

Modern extinction

The Elephant Bird. A native to Madagascar. Was the worlds largest flightless bird.

A day Gecko. Was native to Africa.  Inhabitted forests and lived in trees. It fed on insects and nectar.

Native to Europe. The Dwarf Elephant is only a fraction of the size as it’s modern relatives. Insular dwarfism is a biological phenomenon by which the size of animals isolated on an island shrinks dramatically over time.

These are just a few of the examples of the loss this world has suffered.

Featherless Chickens. Hybrid chicken genetically engineered so that it has no feathers. Scientists say they would be lower in calories and faster growing and more likely to survive in warmer climates. They are said to save money in processing to remove feathers.

Critics say this isn’t worth the trouble. These chickens would lead a rough miserable life.  The males would most likely be unable to mate.  And these birds would be more susceptible to parasites mosquitoes and sun burn. The baby chicks would struggle to make it to adult hood.

To me this is just waist of money experiment. There are lots of more logical experiments that could be done then to genetically alter an animal. Darwin states the theory of evolution. Which is understandable but it is unnatural for the human species to play god in these cases. How are we to know what makes an animal survive the best. Natural selection does that for us so why would we need to intervene other than to say we did so?
