What happened to the Australian kangaroo storm? Now the Australian urban area is about to be occupied. Let's take a look with Xiaobian. According to the Sun Herald, Australia is experiencing the coldest winter in recent years, with temperatures on the east coast at their lowest in decades. In this regard, the Australian people are still OK, but the kangaroo storm in Australia, Australia's' national treasure '- kangaroo baby is a bit unbearable.
In recent years, kangaroos are facing severe food shortage due to the cold and dry weather. As a result, many kangaroos flock into the downtown area of Canberra, the capital, breaking into people's backyards, parks, stadiums and other places to find new food. It's not uncommon to find animals anywhere in Australia, where there are abundant species, but it's also a strange thing for Australian people to see so many kangaroos in their backyards and stadiums.
In fact, kangaroos do not often break into populated areas. But in June and July this year, Australia was dry and dry, and there were fewer and fewer plants in the animal reserve. Kangaroos were 'starving'. So, they 'Group' into the city, come to the garden, park, stadium and other places to find their favorite green grass. Kangaroos are herbivores, especially like small green grass near the ground. According to Australian media, 'Canberra is experiencing a kangaroo storm'. However, Australian people are very welcome to kangaroos' coming. They have shown their 'encounter' with kangaroos on social networking sites.
'I've never tried to wake up in the capital of a country and find a kangaroo in the backyard. "In a round of golf, I found many spectators. "Kangaroo is a great goalkeeper when it comes to the football field!" a large group of kangaroos came to Australia, bringing a lot of joy to the Australian people. But at the same time, there are some invisible threats. The kangaroo in Australia is worthy of the title of "road killer". Unlike China's' national treasure 'Park, Australia's' national treasures' are always running around, jumping to the front of the car if they are not careful, so that the drivers are' defenseless'.
According to the Canberra times, 2634 kangaroo accidents occurred in Australia in 2017. This winter, the number of traffic accidents caused by kangaroos has reached a record due to their 'massive invasion'. So far, 2291 accidents have occurred in 2018.
Recently, in the face of the influx of kangaroos, the head of the park protection service center in the capital region of Australia specially reminded the public that in the rush hour of going to work - also the peak period of kangaroo foraging, we should pay attention to driving to avoid traffic accidents. In order to reduce the risk of traffic accidents, many Australian cars will be equipped with a guardrail to prevent kangaroos from directly hitting the windshield, which is called 'roobars'. Canberra's environment department has also created a brochure "living with kangaroos" to remind local people: "bull; during the peak period of kangaroo activity, if you are driving, please slow down and don't make a sharp turn to avoid hitting them. Appoint a kangaroo 'Scout'. Dogs and kangaroos are difficult to get along with -- if kangaroos are nearby, it's best to keep them at a distance. If a kangaroo is chased by a dog, swarms of kangaroos may break into the backyard, hurting themselves and the dog.
According to Australian media reports, now the number of kangaroos in Australia is almost twice the population of Australia. There are about 44 million kangaroos, while the population is only 24 million. However, kangaroos are not easy to live in Australia now. Since 2010, the Australian government has carried out many investigations and found that a large number of grey kangaroos in the East will have a serious negative impact on the ecology, including destroying the ecological stability and threatening the survival of other animals and plants. Therefore, in recent years, the Australian government has ordered the killing of some kangaroos every year, which is called "protective hunting". According to the Australian Capital Region website, they hunted to manage the kangaroo population so that kangaroos and other species can survive sustainably. According to the official website, the hunt of grey kangaroo in the eastern part of the capital in 2018 is over. A total of 1822 grey kangaroos were killed in the capital area and 1431 kangaroos were killed in New South Wales.
What will be done with the hunted kangaroo? According to the official website, part of the kangaroo meat for protective hunting in the capital area is used by the government as bait to control wild dogs and foxes, part is used for research projects of research institutions, and the rest is buried. It is not allowed to be used for commercial purposes. But in fact, many people in other parts of Australia hunt kangaroos for commercial purposes, including making kangaroo skin crafts and selling kangaroo meat to restaurants. But Australians have always resisted eating kangaroo meat, and only some visitors are interested in eating kangaroo meat.
