From the Island Owner to the King

"Then we'll wait here for a day." Chen Rui said.

"it is good."

The two set up a camp near the creek, and set up a tent. Under the tent, dry branches and hay were laid, and blankets were laid on the dry branches and hay.

Now that they decide to stay here for a day, the two have enough time in the afternoon to explore the surrounding jungle.

The two put their backpacks in the tent, and barbed bushes around the tent to prevent curiosity beasts from entering the tent and then lightly entering the jungle.

Now it is; pig; pig; island; novel www.zhuzhu ＋ about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, about 4 hours before sunset, the two need to return to the camp two hours into the jungle.

Chen Rui brought a knife, a kettle, and entered the dense jungle.

There are many wild animals in the jungle, wild boar, pheasant, monkey, various birds, insects.

"Jiayi, come here, keep quiet, come slowly." Chen Rui shouted softly.

"okay."

Li Jiayi walked slowly to Chen Rui.

"You see what this is," said Chen Rui, pointing at a dozen birds on the tree. The birds on the tree are a bit like turtledoves. The head and upper body are blue-gray, the tail feathers are longer, 2 tail feathers are brown, and the remaining tail feathers. White, gray-brown wings, with irregular black patches, brown-gray from abdomen to tail, dark red, with large white spots, white throat, black beak, red legs and feet.

"Here it is." Li Jiayi was almost exclaimed. If it wasn't for the birds on the tree, Li Jiayi had already exclaimed, but Li Jiayi's heart was full of surprises. Jiayi Li's grandfather is a biologist. Li Jiayi witnessed from her ear. Know a lot about birds on the tree. The famous bird, "This is the North American travelling pigeon."

"Yes, it is the North American travelling pigeon." Chen Rui nodded.

The North American travelling pigeon, famous in the biological world, commonly known as the travelling pigeon, is the most famous representative of modern extinct birds.

North American travelling pigeons live in North America, and as many as 5 billion travelling pigeons once lived in the United States. The group of travelling pigeons encountered by the American pioneers while walking in a horse-drawn carriage in the wilderness covered the sun for several hours. Each group can reach more than 100 million. The name of the 'traveling pigeons' came from this. "Passenger" means "people passing by."

Before the Europeans came to the North American continent, there were as many as 5 billion traveling pigeons. By 1914, the last traveling pigeon, Martha, stopped breathing, witnessing the death of Americans, and witnessing the destruction of a huge species in humans. And quickly become extinct.

In the 17th century, Europeans soon discovered the American continent. Due to the delicious meat, the traveling pigeon became the food of the pioneers, and the nightmare of the traveling pigeon began.

A large-scale commercial hunting began. In New York in 1805, a pair of travelling pigeons sold for two cents. The meat of the travelling pigeons was transported by train from the western United States. The poor in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries often did not see anything except the traveling pigeon Carnivorous.

In the 1840s, the American Bird Watch found that the number of travelling pigeons had fallen too quickly, and they decided to find a way to protect them.

In 1857, some scholars introduced a bill to the Ohio Legislative Assembly demanding protection of the travelling pigeons. However, the Legislative Council's special committee refused to legislate to protect travel pigeons on the grounds that "the number of travel pigeons is huge, the habitat is everywhere, and the foraging ground is spacious and wide".

In the 1870s, after the end of the American Civil War, ornithologists had difficulty finding large swarms of travel pigeons, and there were fewer records of wild travel pigeons found everywhere.

In 1878, in Petoskey, Michigan, 50,000 travelling pigeons were killed every day. This situation lasted for 5 months.

In 1896, a group of about 250,000 travelling pigeons was hunted, and this was the last large travelling pigeon group known.

In the mid-1890s, travelling pigeons were very rare. Since then, there have been few field records for the travelling pigeons.

At the end of the 19th century, animal protectionists began to call for the protection of travelling pigeons. In Michigan, legislation was passed to prevent the use of birdnets within two miles of travelling pigeon nesting sites, but this law was not strictly enforced.

On March 22, 1900, a 14-year-old young hunter hit a wild travelling pigeon with his air gun in a woodland outside of Pike County, Ohio. This is the last wild travelling pigeon to date.

The last couple of travelling pigeons left the world after leaving a hatchling and a few unhatched eggs. They gave their youngsters a name "Martha", named after Martha Washington, the wife of the founding father of the United States.

At noon on September 1, 1914, the administrator came to Martha's loft for inspection, and saw Martha crouching on the roof, watching the outside sky motionlessly. Martha's body was given to the 140 museums. The Smithsonian Institution was made into a stripped specimen for preservation, but not for public display.

The Americans killed a huge biological population, the travelling pigeon, with a population of up to 5 billion.

The environmentalists in the past were as powerful as the environmentalists in the United States today ~ www.readwn.com ~ Travel Pigeon will not have such a fate, from 5 billion to 0, it only took more than 300 years.

If Americans talk about environmental protection in a certain country, they ca n’t be wrong as long as they take the American pigeons for travel. Americans have nothing to say. The Americans say: Chinese, you have PM2.5. The Chinese say: Americans, you have extinct the travelling pigeons, and the Americans say: Chinese, you discharge sewage randomly. The Chinese say: You killed the travelling pigeons. The Americans said: Chinese, no matter what, the Chinese said: Americans, you killed the travelling pigeons. The Americans are in tears, brother, let alone the traveling pigeons! Just say, the Chinese economy, your Chinese economy has created gold for decades.

As for the stalk of travelling pigeons, it is impossible to expose the scars of Americans. There were 5 billion travelling pigeons. The travelling pigeons had a strong reproductive ability and the strategy of "survival by number" failed. They were killed by Americans to zero. An act of death, Americans did it.

In fact, although travelling pigeons are called North American travelling pigeons, North American travelling pigeons are not limited to living in North America. They have also been found in Canada, Mexico and Cuba. They have also been found in Europe and southern Africa. Habits, waiting, traveling, drifting everywhere.

The most famous species that had been determined to be extinct in 1914, the traveling pigeon, was once again found in the distant Daqing Mountain of China. (To be continued.)
