Today, I went to the
Endemic Specimen Research Institute to understand more about the biodiversity
of Taiwan. Because of the current earthquake, the specimen room was under maintenance.
Therefore, we had a lecture about the specimen production in Taiwan. In Taiwan,
there is lots of animal die due to road kill. Therefore, this institute
collects the samples from road kill so it can utilize the dead body of animals
for scientific research. I think this is creative idea to prevent killing for
making specimen.
After
lunch, I had a lecture about the bats in Taiwan. We learnt about the endemic
species of Taiwan. Actually, I think that bats are very interesting creatures. It’s
because its behavior is different from another animals. It is the only mammal
that can fly and hang on the roof reversely. Also, the morphology of the bat is
quite diverse, with long ears, leaf nose etc.
