Can you imagine animals so gorgeous… but, so bad for the environment? I love animals, I think that we should all take care of the environment to ensure that different species can live in peace, and the food chain runs its course. But, not all animals do the planet good. And, some of them, are being protected by us, the environmentalists. These animal invasions can cause the animal extinction of other species, and we don't want a museum full of extinct creatures. If you love animals as much as I do, and want to know why some are bad for the planet, I invite you to discover together the Gorgeous Creatures that Could Destroy the World. - Elephants in South Africa Elephants are the giants of nature, but we all know that they are gentle giants that would not harm a fly, unless they are in danger. Even if you think elephants couldn't harm anything or anyone, these giant mammals can break branches, bushes, and even knock down entire trees. This is not such a serious problem when elephants live in freedom, on vast and wide land, because forests can be recovered quickly. But, when the land cannot contain a large number of elephants, they become harmful. This is the case of elephants living in the Makalali Game Reserve in South Africa. To protect elephants from poachers, they were assigned to protected areas. Although the Nature Reserve is vast, there is not enough space for the herds that inhabit it. The population is growing uncontrollably causing great damage to the ecosystem. - Locusts - The Crown of Thorns Starfish are one of the most beautiful sea creatures we know of. We all want to see a starfish in person at least once in our lives. The Crown of Thorns is a very large starfish that is covered in long, poisonous thorns. This little animal, lives in coral reefs and feeds on coral polyps, very colorful and tentacle-covered sea creatures. When the population of these stars begins to grow uncontrollably, it can wipe out reef ecosystems quickly. Pollution, is the number one enemy of coral reefs, enemy number two is these starfish, that feed on mature corals and do not allow young corals to reach adulthood. -Cattle - Common Carp - Kangaroos - Dogs in China For this reason, since 2011, only one puppy is allowed in China per household. So, if you want to have more than one puppy, I do not recommend going to China. - White-tailed Deer in the United States - jellyfish Jellyfish are very interesting, beautiful, and dangerous creatures. - Badgers in England - Liopleurodon There was a great carnivore that was the terror of all species more than 160 million years ago, but thank goodness we are not on its food chain, or share the same space in time. In the Jurassic period, the Liopleurodon was a gigantic marine reptile, which was located at the top of the food c ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW039vYUUjs

Animal Love & Partnerships Around The World Gibbons Gibbons are primates that are divided into 18 different species and are one of the few primate species capable of maintaining monogamous relationships for the rest of their lives. Gibbons are social animals that form groups of about four, mom, dad, and their young children. Mom and Dad spend time cleaning each other and jumping from one tree to another without couple’s dramas, cheating or heartbreak. But, just like humans, not all couples are perfect… Unfortunately, some of these animals can behave differently, mating with different pairs or ending with their "soul mate" to find another. A behavior closer to other primate species and humans. Swans Rule! One of the most famous symbols of love that exist is that of two swans putting their beaks together and forming a heart with their necks and this has a reason. These beautiful birds can form an unmatched connection with a single partner and can spend their entire lives being faithful and loyal. Swans start looking for their soulmate at 2 or 3 years old, and when they find them they never let them go. Even if one or both separate to migrate elsewhere, they will always meet again to lay eggs and raise their cygnets together. Wouldn't you love to have such a strong bond with someone else? Prairie Voles Prairie voles are small rodents with brown or dark gray fur that prefer to go out at night to live their lives. But, most importantly, they are one of the few rodents that have romantic relationships with a single partner for a long time, and can sometimes last a lifetime. The behavior of these adorable rodents is very reassuring and mutually supportive. The voles snuggle up to show their love, clean each other, share the responsibilities of creating the nest and raising their young together. It sounds very romantic and adorable. A relationship of cooperation and support that humans should take as an example. But not all rodents are this loving, some can be manipulative… female mouse’s tears make males less aggressive, while male mice’s tears, make the females ready to mate! The Gray Fox Gray foxes are very social creatures that live in the forests and rocky areas of North and South America. You may sometimes find these adorable animals in urban areas because their habitats have been destroyed in time. These foxes normally mate with a single mate for the rest of their lives, but when the mating season ends, both animals tend to separate from their mates until they can mate again. The season runs from January through May and females can have up to 7 cubs. Although they stay a little apart when the "job" is over, the gray foxes show the love they have for their partner by preening. Ducks & Seasonal Monogamy Monogamy is common in birds such as geese and swans that start looking for their ideal mates when they are 2 or 3 years old, and stay with them for the rest of their lives. But, some waterfowl species like ducks look for mates in a less convenient way; finding a new mate every winter when it's time to mate. Males do not normally stay to help raise their children, but they do protect the territory where their partner is, so that other males do not have access to it. So instead of returning to the same place each winter to continue loving the same mate, ducks change places to migrate and there they must find someone else with whom they can spend the cold winter. The Giant Otters Sleep Holding Hands Giant otters live in the Amazon and are very social species that are grouped into families that can have up to 8 members. These adorable friends can be somewhat territorial and aggressive if another family tries to invade their territory. Families are made up of two totally in love parents and their children. Parents, or new couples who do not yet have children, usually sleep with their hands clasped so as not to separate from each other in the Amazon waters. The bond shared by pairs of giant otters is so strong that they would not bear the thought of parting with their better half. I can't think of anything sadder than an adorable otter waking up alone, without its soul mate… 115 - Animals In Love - B (Animals Who Know The True Meaning Of Love) All audio provided by audioblocks.com provided under the following license agreement. https://www.Storyblocks.com/license Video clips provided by videoblocks.com under the following license agreement. https://www.Storyblocks.com/license The material credited in the link below was used, some with modifications, with rights provided per the publishing of said material under a CC-BY license.
