There are millions of species of animals present in the world. All these animals also have their own distinct characteristics. But today we are going to tell you about an animal whose gender of its children changes with changing temperature. Yes you read it right. Gender changes due to temperature. Know how this is possible
Crocodile
According to the information, with the change in temperature, the gender of crocodile babies also changes. According to scientists, not only crocodiles but also the babies of fish and turtles change their gender due to temperature. According to scientists, American alligators, which incubate their eggs at 33 degrees Celsius (91.4 degrees Fahrenheit), produce mostly male babies. While incubation temperatures below 30 °C (86 °F) result in mostly female hatchlings.
Fish and Turtle
Fish and In tortoise it is the opposite. Fish and turtles have female babies at higher temperatures. According to this new research conducted at Duke University, the sex of the baby in the womb is determined by the hot temperature. According to research, the female egg production capacity increases in hot temperatures. According to researchers, extremely hot temperatures cause a rapid increase in the number of embryo-bearing germ cells. At the same time, germ cells themselves start the process of becoming female due to heat.
Is this the effect of global warming
The question in today’s situation is The question arises whether the risk of global warming is increasing as the Earth is getting warmer. After all, will it affect the reproduction of species like crocodile and turtle? According to the scientist, the embryos inside the egg develop due to the heat of light. Researchers say that during the experiment they kept some eggs at a temperature of 33.5 degrees, which was only two and a half degrees more than the temperature required for females. Then he saw some strange types of embryos being formed. He was a Cyclops and a two-headed fetus. According to scientists, this result was shocking.
