Imagine a real life bearger!


Recommended Posts

If a new species would be ever found on earth then the first thing humans will do is capture it and cut it open to see how it's internal system looks like and works. In the end the creature will die.

 

This is actually not true. New species are found on Earth every week, mainly new insects. It would be useless to dissect every new species, as the internal structure of almost all animals is very similar to other related species. There is also no funding for dissecting every new animal (the entire funding for taxonomical research and finding new species is very low). If the animal is killed, it is usually not for dissection, but for other purposes. But the majority of species will never be found before they go extinct, as people change their habitats (by deforestation, pollution, introduction of invasive species, overhunting and overfishing some important species in the habitats, climate change, ocean acidification...) and this kills them. Majority of unknown animals die in this way, not in dissections.
