一位同行告诉我,贵州梵净山上有一种世界上最奇特的蛙,在上颌的边缘长了许多胡子,俗称胡子蛙,国外还没有这玩艺儿,成了世界动物学家最为关注的对象。蛙类我可见得很多,可是,从来没有见过长胡子的青蛙。是不是青蛙的年龄太大,生活时间很长,成了蛙中之王,以示与一般蛙的区别,才长出与众不同的胡子来?总之,一个个疑团使我迷惑不解。求知的欲望、探索的精神,促使我要作一番实地考察。那是一个初夏的季节,草木葱郁,气侯宜人。考察队从江口县盘溪口出发,巍峨的梵净山拔地而起,象一个绿色的巨人,屹立在眼前。我们攀上一条条陡峭的小路,穿过一片片森林,沿黑湾河溯源而上,来到海拨800—1000米的乱石草丛中。王教授说,这样的海拨地带气侯温热,水草丰盛,最适合胡子蛙的生长,初夏正是胡子蛙出洞交配 One of my peers told me that there is one of the most exotic frogs in the world on Fanjingshan Mountain in Guizhou Province. There are many mustaches on the edge of her maxilla, commonly known as bearded frogs, which have not been widely used by foreign countries and have become the objects of most concern to the world zoologists . I can see a lot of frogs, however, have never seen a long bearded frog. Is not the frog’s age is too large, life is very long, became the king of frogs to show the difference between the general frog, to grow distinctive beard to come? In short, one by one puzzled me puzzled. The desire to know, the spirit of exploration, prompted me to make some field trips. It is a early summer season, lush vegetation, the climate is pleasant. Expedition team starting from the mouth of Jiangkou County Creek, towering Fanjingshan up and down, like a green giant, stand in front of us. We climbed a steep path, traversing a forest of woods, tracing the Black River to the heights of 800-1000 meters above sea level. Professor Wang said that such a warm climate in the Altiplano, rich aquatic plants, the most suitable for the growth of bearded frogs, early summer is bearded frog out of the hole mating
