Live: Beating the Siberian Tiger violently, this is called Little Lolita?

Chapter 223 The Story of the Elk

Seeing this little guy, Wen Wanwan also leaned aside and continued to explain to the live broadcast room.

"Although beavers are timid, in fact, if they stay in an environment for a long time and make sure there is no danger, they can be called the most emotionally stable animals."

"Beavers in captivity can ponder the philosophical meaning of architecture in the middle of a noisy shopping mall."

"However, the artificial breeding situation of this little guy is quite ideal. It is not as difficult to succeed as the snow leopard."

"Currently, most of the artificial breeding techniques of beavers have been popularized in zoos, and many zoos have already seen the appearance of this little guy."

After a pause, Wen Wanwan patted the beaver's head, and then made it quiet.

"Now there are three main forms of protection of endangered species in the world."

"The first is called in-situ conservation. For example, nature reserves and national parks are the results of in-situ conservation. Although the help to restore the population is limited, it is indeed the best way to prevent the decline of the population."

"The second is called ex situ protection, which refers to the establishment of a certain scale and healthy artificial population outside the existing distribution area of ​​the species through artificial breeding, such as zoos, and the breeding base is the result of this ex situ protection .”

"The third is called reintroduction, which is actually an extension of the second."

"The reintroduction of captive-bred animals into the species' historic range to establish a self-sustaining wild population."

"Some people may think that many animals are still endangered after being protected for so many years, but in fact, many animals have been ex situ for protection, but they cannot be released for various reasons."

"The classic case of reintroduction is the lovely and beautiful elk by the Dongting Lake."

"When you look at them, you may think that they are like elves and even can be seen everywhere around Dongting Lake, but in fact, the elk were completely extinct in our land once."

When she said this, Wen Wanwan stopped immediately, and the group of spectators who were listening intently in the live broadcast room almost ran away.

Susujiang: [Okay, you don't learn, you have learned this method completely! 】

Stewed salted fish in an iron pot: [Hurry up, how did you recover later? 】

Department of Infatuation: [That's outrageous, let's be a human being! 】

Watching the lively barrage, Wen Wanwan changed her position and sat down, then continued to tell the story of the elk to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The elk is also known as the Four Different Kinds of Deer. It is an animal belonging to the deer family. It has a head and face like a horse, antlers like a deer, a neck like a camel, and a tail like a donkey. That's why it's called the Four Different Kinds of Characters. It is a first-class protected animal in our country."

"Native to the marshes of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, adult male elk can weigh up to 250 kilograms. They are good at gregarious, good at swimming, and like to eat tender grass and aquatic plants."

"Due to hunting and environmental reasons, species were basically protected in the Qing Dynasty. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, only the Royal Hunting Garden in Yanjing still had hundreds of them alive."

"When the Allied Forces invaded China, all the elk in the hunting park were robbed and killed, and all the elk in China were completely extinct."

"Speaking of which, we have to mention one person: the eleventh Duke of Belfort."

"It just likes elk very much, even to the point of obsession. Since 1898, in order to get this group of big guys, it has spent a lot of money to acquire [-] of them around the world."

"With the end of the war of aggression against China, these eighteen little guys are already the last elk on this planet, and they have undertaken the mission of revitalizing the population."

"The Duke stocked them at Ubbon Temple, north of London, and even his descendants have continued to protect and work to expand the elk population."

"During World War II, fearing that it would be affected by the flames of war, Ubang Temple Manor transferred elk to major zoos around the world, which further increased the population of [-] elk."

"The turning point came in 1985. After paying something this year, with the efforts of the World Wildlife Fund, five zoos in London provided elk to China for free."

"This time we got a total of 22 elk, and it is possible for them to return to Dongting Lake."

"After years of artificial breeding and breeding, by 2012 there were more than 2000 elk in the country, and there were 648 elk in the national elk nature reserve, and the effective population had reached 50."

This case can be called a classic, which is why the reintroduced protection method that has been used for nearly 200 years can still be used today.

The audience in the live broadcast room listened to the whole story, and the barrage was a little quiet for a while.

But after a few seconds, great enthusiasm erupted, and the barrage area was flying like snowflakes.

Chen Yuanting: [It's so twists and turns, the protection staff must have paid a lot to restore the elk population! 】

The rabbit beside the cloud: [If there is no Duke, the elk might be completely extinct, right? 】

The four seasons are like autumn: [Understood, let's go to Dongting Lake to travel and see this group of almost extinct elk! 】

A piece of paper in the Year of the Desolation: [Hahaha, I live in Yiyang, and it only takes 15 minutes to go to Dongting Lake by car! 】

"Stationmaster Wen, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to you the first time you came here."

The voice behind her also made Wen Wanwan turn her head, and a girl with a plateau red face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

This is naturally Ji Ying, the head of the Snow Rescue Station!
Compared with the photos, the real person looks a little more muscular, and the smile on his face is more kind.

"It should be. Anyone who meets him should help. How is that little snow leopard?"

After a brief chat, Ji Ying also sat aside, and handed a bag of fresh willows to the little guy.

"Basically, the little guy has no major problems. He has already done everything he can do, and it will depend on his luck."

"Can it be recovered?"

"It's hard to say, the injury of one of its front legs is too serious, and the joint is almost broken."

Hearing this, Wen Wanwan also shook her head.

It can be said that it is even more difficult to restore this situation to its original state.

The little snow leopard is just developing, and the joint injury will affect the growth of the whole leg.

It is almost certain that this little thing will have almost no chance in the wild in the future.

With an immobile leg, it is difficult to survive in the wild through predation.

The best result is to enjoy feeding by the breeder in the zoo. If no zoo is willing to accept it, then go to the breeding base.

If you have good genes, you can have ten or eight wives in this life.

For the next half an hour, the two sat by the water pool and discussed the issue of plateau biological protection.

One sentence per person, plus a lot of technical terms, caused question marks to gradually appear on the heads of a group of viewers in the live broadcast room.
