In fact, to put it bluntly, albinism is caused by defects in the melanocytes themselves that originate from the embryonic neural crest.
Most of the melanocytes in the body originate from the neural crest of the embryo, but the melanocytes in the eyes are an exception, so the eye color of albinos is normal.
From a human perspective, albinism might be a good thing.
But in fact, we all know that if a person turns albino, he or she will definitely be disliked or even looked down upon.
Not to mention animals.
Moreover, for animals, whether they dislike it or not is secondary. What matters is that the lack of melanin brings a series of troubles to white animals.
First, it is easy to get sunburned because the melanin in the skin is the most important barrier against ultraviolet radiation in the sun.
Secondly, their eyesight is generally poor.
You have to know that for animals living in the wild, if their eyesight is poor, it will be difficult for carnivores to catch prey.
If it is a herbivore, it will be difficult to avoid natural enemies.
Moreover, whether it is albinism or leucism, melanin synthesis or melanocyte migration are too basic physiological processes, so they often involve many things and cause multi-organ abnormalities.
In the wild, white animals are not welcome.
Zoologists have observed that in some penguin and swallow colonies, white individuals are rejected by their peers. But in human circles, these outcasts often become stars.
Su Ran also emphasized: "Albinism is a widely seen genetic mutation in vertebrates. In many popular reptiles, albinism is also a common mutation type, and is often the first mutation type to appear. Many such examples can be seen in turtles, snakes, and lizards."
However, such large creatures are indeed rare.
The reindeer obviously doesn't know how popular it is on the Internet. As for animals living in the wild, they never seem to care about these things. They just want to eat enough food in their limited life.
This itself is the animals' current natural mission.
That is survival and reproduction.
At this time, Goatee looked very anxious.
Because he saw that the reindeer were about to leave after eating, but Su Ran had no intention of leaving.
If Su Ran watched the reindeer leave, he would be happy, but all his work today would be in vain.
"Damn it, I met an unreliable boss and a bunch of stupid teammates. Today I met another Cheng Yaojin. Why am I so unlucky?"
Chen Guangtao felt an indescribable sense of frustration building up in his heart. He clenched his back teeth tightly, as if he wanted to bite all the dissatisfaction into pieces.
His eyes were fierce and he was thinking that if the situation got bad, he would just take drastic measures.
Judging from the other party's behavior, he seemed to be alone. Chen Guangtao thought to himself that it should not be a problem to subdue such a thin guy.
With this fluke mentality, he decided to give it a try, so he suddenly jumped out and shouted provocatively: "Boy, you asked for this, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Su Ran didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear.
It looks like I'm blocking his path to wealth.
But Su Ran was feeling bad at the moment. To be honest, if he was alone, he could easily take advantage of him.
Even if he was not alone, he would not be afraid at all.
Su Ran did not choose to confront directly or show strong resistance, but chose another way to deal with this dangerous situation.
He deliberately showed himself vulnerable and helpless, so that poachers would mistakenly think he was an easy target.
This act of pretending to be weak is actually to confuse the opponent and make him relax his vigilance, thereby buying more time and opportunities for oneself.
"Ah, brother, did I do something wrong?" "I just came here to take pictures of the scenery. I thought it was rare to see such a beautiful albino reindeer, so I stayed a little longer. I didn't mean to disturb you, did I?"
Su Ran's performance was very realistic; his movements seemed a little clumsy and his voice trembled a little.
He tried his best to make himself look non-threatening, even deliberately revealing some flaws to make his opponents think he was an easy prey.
However, this was only part of his elaborate plan.
Su Ran's acting skills are not bad, on the contrary, he is very good at controlling his performance.
He knew that his acting skills were good enough when facing such stupid poachers.
Because in the eyes of this goateed man, Su Ran seemed to be a weak opponent.
Su Ran deliberately revealed some flaws, which was part of his careful planning. He knew that only by making his opponents think that he was an easy prey could he better lure them into taking the bait.
His flaws may seem obvious, but in fact they are carefully designed traps, waiting for his opponents to fall into them.
"Are you a photographer?"
The man with a goatee suddenly laughed.
The photographer is just a weakling, and those who are into photography are all quite rich.
This not only allows poaching, but also possible blackmail.
After all, in this deep forest, no one will come even if you shout at the top of your lungs.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal."
The man with the goatee began to take Su Ran lightly.
However, this is exactly what Su Ran wanted.
When the other party approached Su Ran, he was completely unaware of the danger he was about to face.
He thought Su Ran was just an easy prey, but he didn't know that Su Ran was already prepared to fight back.
Su Ran has powerful strength hidden in his body and is waiting for the best opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow.
At this critical moment, Su Ran suddenly burst out with amazing speed and strength.
His movements were so swift and accurate that Goatee was caught off guard.
He had never anticipated Su Ran's true strength and was caught off guard by his counterattack.
The poacher, whose fingers were tightly grasped by Su Ran, had a face full of pain and a hideous expression. His brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were twisted, as if he was enduring unspeakable pain. His voice was hoarse and low, and he kept repeating the word "pain", as if telling Su Ran about the pain he was suffering.
The poacher's fingers were held tightly by Su Ran, and he could not move.
He tried to struggle, but Su Ran's strength made it impossible for him to break free. Every struggle only made the poacher feel more pain in his fingers, as if an invisible force was tightly binding him.
There was despair and fear in his eyes, he knew he could not escape Su Ran's control.
My body was wracked with pain, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.
His voice became weaker and weaker, but he kept shouting "It hurts", as if this was his only signal for help.
Su Ran looked at him coldly, without any sympathy or mercy.
"No, brother, do you really think I'm just an ordinary photographer?" (End of this chapter)
