Human hunting mutates the animal's genes, and the bighorn sheep has a large horn and a small horn.
There is a special kind of sheep that lives in Canada, it looks like a sheep, but it is very large, the ram can grow up to 340 kilograms, and they have a pair of horns that are shockingly large, so they get the name "bighorn sheep".
This huge horn has allowed them to survive in harsh and complex environments.
However, their large horns attracted many hunters to hunt them, and they took home the huge horns as trophies.
Didn't the hunters hunt for the pair of big horns? If the horns became smaller, hunters would no longer use butcher knives and shotguns against them, and generation after generation, the horns of bighorn sheep became smaller and smaller – human cruelty triggered their "genetic revolution"! Scientists explain:
It was the overhunting of the hunters that "depleted" the bighorn sheep's genetics and sounded the alarm bell for them to accelerate their evolution, and as a result, they did indeed evolve incomprehensibly, with their horns shrinking considerably.
Canadian "bighorn sheep" have the largest horns of adult rams, and they use this pair of horns to defend against other animals, and bighorn sheep also use this pair of horns to compete with each other, and also become the "main culprit" to attract hunters.
There are fewer and fewer adult rams, and juvenile rams are also targeted by hunters, and bighorn sheep die before they can fully pass on their genes to the next generation.
In this way, the next generation inherits the horn gene that has not grown, and even if the next generation grows up, it will not have a pair of big horns like the parents, and the big horns of the "big horn sheep" no longer exist today.
Dr. Curtis Strobek, a biologist at the University of Alberta, Canada, has been studying bighorn sheep for more than 30 years, and they have been tracking bighorn sheep living in Alberta's Ram Mountains region for a long time.
Since 1975, they have found 57 hunted rams and countless more undiscovered.
The minimum mating age of rams is also 6 years old, and the best age is 8 years old, and sexual maturity can only be achieved when they are so old, but 9 of the killed rams are less than 4 years old, and most of the rest are not 8 years old.
In Africa, the fate of elephants is even more tragic than that of bighorn sheep.
Because of the preciousness of ivory, African elephants are hunted in large numbers.
Many adult elephants no longer have long tusks, and people can see male elephants without tusks everywhere, which is a way for elephants to protect themselves.
The Strobeck team warns that if strong measures are not taken, Canadian bighorn sheep will "evolve" into hornless sheep like African elephants!

Ivory, the strongest part of an elephant's body. White and exquisite, it has always been regarded as a sacred and noble object. It is because of such a pair of treasures, elephants, a species that has a longer history than humans, that have been frantically hunted by greedy humans for nearly a hundred years.
Although the International Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) banned ivory** 20 years ago, to this day, an average of 104 elephants are still killed every day for a pair of white tusks.
Conservation groups have warned that elephant poaching and illegal ivory** worldwide are now at their highest levels since the ban was imposed in 1989**, and that the alarming level of illegal ivory poaching will lead to the extinction of African elephants in much of Africa within the next 15 years.

Director Jan Arthur spent 15 years preparing and visiting 50 countries to shoot, from the Great Barrier Reef under the sea of Australia to Mount Kilimanjaro in the Kenyan Highlands of Africa; the Amazon rainforest to the Gobi Desert; From the rolling cotton fields of Texas in the United States to the industrial towns of Shanghai, China. The picturesque scenery awakens the world to optimistically cherish the 50 rainforests we still have, rather than just the lost half; More importantly, all 6 billion people on the planet should wake up to our responsibility ......
Lu Besson is the first producer of a documentary directed by internationally renowned photographer Yang Yazu Beithang. An objective look at the birth and evolution of the earth and the problems it faces today! Through the natural and beautiful scenes, the audience will learn about the beautiful earth, and promote the importance and urgency of environmental protection.
In the 200,000 years since humans appeared on Earth, the balance established by the planet's evolution over nearly four billion years is no longer orderly. The price we have paid is too high, but now is not the time for pessimism – humanity has a decade to reverse this trend and learn the full truth about the exploitation of the planet's abundant resources in the past, and to change the pattern of human consumption.
International photographer Yang Yazubet shares his surprise and anxiety with unique images taken from the air when he visited more than 50 countries, and his work is the cornerstone of a huge project that we will rebuild together.

There are many similar things in our daily life, we should protect animals and live in harmony with animals!
