《冰川時代3》猛犸象的真面目
猛犸象 woolly mammoth
曼尼是《冰河世紀》中性情溫和而穩(wěn)重的長毛象,這種曾經(jīng)稱霸冰河世紀的動物緣何滅絕于世?
猛犸生活在約1萬1千年前,首次出現(xiàn)是480萬年前,約5000年前神秘滅絕,古脊椎動物,哺乳綱,長鼻目,真象科。學名真猛犸象,也稱長毛猛犸象。猛犸是韃靼語“地下居住者”的意思,曾經(jīng)是世界上最大的象。它身高體壯,有粗壯的腿,腳生四趾,頭特別大,在其嘴部長出一對彎曲的大門牙。猛犸象以自己整個種群的滅亡標志了第四紀冰川時代的結束。也有一說是因為人類的屠殺造成了猛犸象的滅絕。

Manny is a woolly
mammoth shown as one of the main characters in all three Ice Age films. While his true name is Manfred, many other characters throughout the films refer to him as simply "Manny".
The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus
primigenius), also called the
tundra mammoth, is an
extinct species of mammoth. This animal is known from bones and frozen
carcasses from northern North America and northern
Eurasia with the best preserved carcasses in Siberia. This mammoth species was first recorded in (possibly 150,000 years old) deposits of the second last
glaciation in Eurasia. They were derived from
steppe mammoths (Mammuthus
trogontherii)
負鼠 opossum
第二部《冰河世紀》中增加了一頭老以為自己是負鼠的女猛犸象,還老愛學兄長把自己給倒吊在樹枝上。那么負鼠又是一種怎樣神奇的動物咧?
負鼠是有袋目負鼠科的通稱。是一種比較原始的有袋類動物,主要產(chǎn)自拉丁美洲。為中、小型獸類。大多數(shù)具有能纏繞的長尾,因此母負鼠能隨身攜帶幼鼠到處奔跑。尾毛稀疏并覆以鱗片。少數(shù)種類尾短而具厚毛。四肢短,均具5趾。拇指大,無爪,能對握。平時,負鼠喜歡生活在樹上。它行動十分小心,常常先用后腳鉤住樹枝,站穩(wěn)之后再考慮下一步動作。它們會在疾奔中突然立定不動,捕捉它們的動物往往會被這個動作嚇得大吃一驚;負鼠在來不及躲避敵害時,往往裝死,這不是它聰明的舉動而是它被嚇的暫時的休克。
《冰河世紀3》搞怪小插曲:Walk the Dinosaur
Crash and Eddie are two
fraternal twin brother
opossums that appear in the second film. These two brothers were the adopted brothers of Ellie the mammoth, but cared for her all the same, even teaching her to hang by her tail from a tree branch when she slept as they did.
Didelphimorphs are small to medium-sized
marsupials, with the largest about the size of a large house cat, and the smallest the size of a mouse. They tend to be semi-
arboreal omnivores, although there are many
exceptions. Most members of this
taxon have long
snouts, a narrow
braincase, and a
prominent sagittal crest.
