他拿鋸子往樹上一砍，沒想到竟然從樹幹中流出鮮血...砍下去後他才知道犯了大錯了！

當這棵樹被砍時，竟然會從樹幹裡流出鮮血...！這種神奇的樹生長在非洲，它的名字就叫做「龍血樹」。

▼龍血樹外觀看起來和一般樹沒兩樣，但因為它的樹液是紅色的，流出來時看起來就像濃稠的鮮血一樣
The bloodwood tree gets its name from its dark-red sap. When you cut one down, the red sap flows out of the severed trunk and looks a lot like blood.

▼它的樹液常常被用來當作傳統染料，還會被一些部落用來治療疾病，因為當地人相信它的樹液擁有神奇的醫療能力
The sap of the bloodwood tree is traditionally used as a dye. In some African cultures, the sap is thought to contain magical powers, and is used by tribal doctors to treat a variety of diseases.

▼龍血樹的樹幹也很適合拿來當做家具的原料，過度的砍伐讓野生的龍血樹大幅減少，甚至瀕臨絕種，
現在在某些地方它已經被列入保護對象了
The wood of the bloodwood tree is also highly sought after by furniture makers. Because of this, the population of wild bloodwood trees is rapidly shrinking. In response, the tree has been declared a protected species in many areas.

▼雖然已經知道那是樹液的顏色，但看到它流出來還是覺得很恐怖啊！

樹木被砍伐時不會尖叫、不會流血，但看到龍血樹被砍伐時流出的「鮮血」，不知道能不能讓過度砍伐的人類停下來好好的思考一下。
