đối phó với biến đổi khí hậu, nhà khoa học israel đã tạo ra... gà không lông/gà khỏa thân :D

-----
Featherless (không lông) chicken is a relatively new breed of poultry (gia cầm) created through selective breeding in order to combat a very common problem – overheating (nóng). However, the so-called ‘naked chickens’ have yet to become mainstream.
Commercial broiler (gà giò) chickens are genetically prone to eat more and gain weight very fast which causes their body metabolism (trao đổi chất) to operate at higher temperatures than that of other chicken breeds. Their hearts operate at up to 300 beats per minute, and while the rapid weight gain makes them perfect for the ever-growing meat industry, it also creates a very big problem – overheating. Raising broilers in hot climate (khí hậu nóng) regions (khu vực) requires expensive coolers to keep the birds’ temperature in check, but what if there was a more economical way to keep birds cool without using vast (to lớn) amounts of energy? That was the idea that led to the creation of the controversial featherless chicken.

Israeli geneticist (nhà di truyền học) and poultry breeding expert Avigdor Cahaner is the man credited for the creation of featherless chickens. Although many speculate that he resorted to some unnatural and unethical genetic modifications (sửa đổi), Cahaner has repeatedly clarified that he only did it by selectively crossing a breed with a naturally bare neck with a regular broiler chicken. “This is not a genetically modified chicken, but a natural chicken whose characteristics date back over 50 years,”
