hot! The animals went crazy

Global warming has created several phenomena, which we will briefly describe here. And these are like in the case of Antarctica mentioned here - only the tip of the iceberg 

Tsunami
In the picture you can see the drift (drift) moving from the coast of Japan in the Pacific Ocean towards the east following the washing of the coastal areas of Japan.
Oceanographers who calculated the path of the spill and the speed of its movement concluded that the spill will reach the shores of Hui at the beginning of next year, later, the spill that will still float in the coming years will reach the area of ​​the North Pacific Garbage Patch and will join and overcome the garbage and the huge plastic patch floating in the ocean larger floating objects like boats …. will reach the western shores of America.

Invasion of the rats

In Australia lives a species of rodent called the "long haired rat". The rat's habitat is the grasslands of the Northern Territories and western Queensland.
In the last season, multiple rains fell, the likes of which were not seen for a long time, rains that came after a long drought. The rains caused the growth of annual plants in dry areas, a growth that attracted many nomads, the most prominent among them being the Huldahtz
Reports of an "invasion" of millions of rats into areas where they do not normally exist, observers compare the rats' migration to the seasonal migration of lemmings (lemmings) in the north. The rats have reached dry areas around Alice Springs and according to the reports this is an event that has not happened in about a quarter of a century, the rat gives birth to 12 offspring every three weeks, an abundance of food and breeding skills have allowed the population to explode, the Australians hope that the next dry season will thin out the invaders and cause them to return to the area their natural harmony.

The connection between leprosy and armadillo?
In a study conducted in the South of the USA, it became clear that the armadillo (with the nine stripes) serves as a carrier of a disease that is usually widespread in Southeast Asia, India and Africa.
It is known and accepted that disease cases that are discovered in the USA were in those who visited "infected" countries, but after a number of cases were discovered in people who had never left their place of residence, researchers began to look for how they became infected. It turned out that the infected were in contact with an armadillo, some hunted the strange mammal for food, some use its skin for decoration (?) and some even keep it as a pet.
A genetic study revealed that there is a difference between the causes of the disease in those who were infected in distant countries, and those infected locally, another test revealed that the armadillos carry leprosy agents that are genetically very similar to those infected locally,
The conclusion is clear and so is the advice: don't touch the armadillo, don't eat it, don't play with it and try to "make friends" with the strange mammal.

big brain
Biologists from research institutions in Spain and Switzerland tested 82 species of birds from 22 families, the study focused on 12 cities in France and Switzerland and open areas that served as a control and was published in Biology Letters.
The conclusions of the study are that "due to the requirements of adaptation to living conditions in cities, the "urban" developed a larger brain than their sisters in the wild", according to the researchers "this is the first time that it is clear that the size of the brain is a key factor in the survival of animals in an urban environment".
The researchers suggest to bird lovers who want to attract them to the cities, "to create spots that resemble the natural habitats".

Wonderland

A huge chunk of ice that disintegrated led to the discovery of never-before-seen underwater life in the region The ice broke, crumbled and separated from the Mertz Glacier in East Antarctica.
With the help of a remotely controlled camera, the bottom of the sea was photographed, which until now was hidden and hidden under the glacier, huge starfish, colorful sponges and a wide variety of marine life were photographed and surprised the researchers, in addition to the discovery of the variety of animals on the bottom, the disintegration of the ice mass caused the ocean to be enriched with nutrients, the researchers claim Because the melting ice block released into the water dust collected over the years, dust that contains nutrients that under normal conditions would have reached the water for 30 to 40 years.
The increased fertilization and exposure to light caused a rapid growth of phytoplankton, a growth that resulted in an "explosion" of a diverse population of sea animals.
Invasive crabs
Thousands and perhaps millions of crabs are marching southward up the sea floor towards Antarctica. The assumption is that the crabs that live at a depth of 2000 to 3000 meters rise because of the warming of the ocean water.
The crabs are invading the shallow slopes around the southern continent, an invasion of the coastal waters that has not been seen in millions of years, the mass migration was first detected in 2007 and increased due to global warming, the crabs whose specialty is cracking shells threaten the population of molluscs and other marine creatures, some of which are used to produce substances used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Unlike molluscs in other areas for molluscs in the shallow waters near the coast of Antarctica soft shells because they never had to develop a defense, the invasive crab met easy prey, prey that could disappear due to warming.

floods
The media is full of reports about the tornadoes that are hitting North America, although the damage to property and lives is greater, we don't hear about the floods that are hitting Colombia in recent weeks, floods that are mainly caused by rains in "biblical" amounts that never stop falling.
The president of the country said that "Colombia was hit by a storm that does not want to leave", a storm that hit 28 (out of 32) provinces in the country.
The severity of the ongoing storm is attributed to El Niña, that phenomenon in which the waters of the Pacific Ocean (along the coasts) cool, even though the forecasts show the weakening of El Niña in recent months, meteorologists warn that many months will pass before a return to "normal" conditions.

The Battle of Virunga
In eastern Congo (DRC) lies one of the most important nature reserves in the world, Virunga. The reserve includes high mountains, some of which are volcanoes, a rich equatorial forest and what makes it important... About 300 mountain gorillas.
Although the central government recognizes the importance of saving the gorillas, the long distance makes it difficult to control the area, and since Virunga serves as a hideout for armed militias that survived the massacre in neighboring Rwanda, one of the forms in which the reserve is damaged is the deforestation for the coal industry, the local inspectors are fighting this phenomenon with a certain degree of success mainly because of the support of External bodies that provide the locals with alternative means of cooking and lighting, but recently a more serious problem has arisen, areas where the forest has been cut down and until now stood naked are being exploited by the armed militias for drug cultivation.
Even before that, there were violent incidents between the militiamen and the inspectors of the reserve. Now when there are drugs in the field that are being replaced by weapons, the violence increases every week. And the only ones who "stand in the breach" are the inspectors of the reserve, in order to protect Virunga there is pressure from outside bodies, pressure on the central government of the Congo to step up and strengthen the inspectors in the field.

Dragonflies in England
Maybe for the royal wedding? But most likely because of the global warming that allows dragonflies to exist even in relatively northern areas and due to southerly winds, species of dragonflies and dragonflies that are in their natural place in the Sahara and the Near East (in our country) have arrived in England.
Dragonflies are known for their migration skills, some species cross oceans and continents, but this time the destination is not included in the accepted migration map, so maybe after all... For the wedding?
