    Elephant carcasses briefly become busy ecosystems of their own.

    This African elephant is on the verge of death. It is likely to have another male elephant swooped next to him during a fight. What happens next shows how important an elephant is to its ecosystem. The elephants came to the scene mourning the loss of their fellow elephant. The non-mourning process involves “body attachment”, in which they climb onto the carcass. They also cause grief by walking backwards toward the body, often touching it with their hind legs. They will explore the body with the torso and forefeet. Whether elephants transmit and learn these actions culturally is part of an ongoing study. The hyena arrived overnight and opened the belly of the corpse, tearing the hardened elephant’s skin. This provides an opportunity for white-backed vultures to feed.

    Vultures do not have beaks strong enough to pierce elephant skin, so they have to wait in line behind the hyenas. While sadly, these deaths are crucial to ecosystems. These parties could be the lifesaver of vultures, whose populations have plummeted worldwide due to habitat alteration and poisoning. A leopard arrives to investigate but decides to eat elsewhere. Elephants in a short time become their own busy ecosystem. In addition to scavenging, there is a community full of decomposers like maggots gnawing at anything that larger scavengers don’t reach quickly enough. The carcass is soaked in blood and the fluid secreted during decomposition, creating a fertile soil as microorganisms release nutrients into the soil.

    Scientists use carcass counts to monitor the health of elephant populations. So this elephant carcass not only provides a beneficial service to the surrounding ecosystem … but it could ultimately help with the science and conservation of the elephant.

    LION

    Lions are known to be powerful, ferocious and commanding. But behind their ferocious appearance, these big cats are social animals that live in cramped areas known as places of pride, where sisters take care of and even take care of each other’s cubs.

    WHERE THEY ARE LEARNED

    Lions have disappeared from 90% of their historical range. Currently they exist only in South and East Africa, with a small population living in the Gir forest in India.

    WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT

    Lions are often referred to as the “King of the Forest”, and although they don’t actually live in the forest, they are the top predators in their habitat. This means that lions stabilize herbivores such as buffaloes, horses and zebras. They also eat the weakest members of the herd, helping to keep their prey populations strong and healthy. Without lions, herbivores will increase the population and overgraze on natural foliage degrading the health of their ecosystems.

    HOW THEY ARE DELETED WITH Illegal TRADE

    Loss of habitat and conflict with local communities over grazing land are major threats to lions. But more and more, lions are being hunted for their bones which have recently been introduced as a rarer substitute for tiger bones in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2017, a quota was placed on the export of lion bones out of South Africa, allowing a number of body parts to be legally sold under a license. While the skeletons used in these transactions mainly come from lions that are kept in captivity or hunt for spoils, this quota system is undermined by illegal poaching in neighboring countries. .

    Lion’s bones are also sometimes used in African countries for zoos (i.e., treating human diseases with therapies of animal origin and their products) or for the purpose of treating human diseases. medicine.
