Chapter 28 Traces of the Giant Python
Chapter 28 The Traces of the Giant Python
In the early 20th century, a large-scale survey of wild South China tigers and their habitats conducted by the State Forestry Administration and WWF, no wild South China tiger was found during the search process. After this investigation, some foreign scholars believed that the wild South China tiger was extinct. However, domestic scholars did not give up the glimmer of hope of searching for wild South China tigers, and Wang Zheming was one of them. He has never given up looking for South China tigers for seven or eight years, and has searched in stages for eight or nine years...
In the winter of 2007, the Institute of Endangered Ecology carried out the "Wild Survey of Wild South China Tigers in Northern Guangdong" project, and Wang Zheming also participated, but in the end, no traces of the existence of wild South China Tigers were found.
Today, the possibility of wild South China tigers is very small, and many experts believe that South China tigers have become extinct in the wild. As of October 2010, there were about 110 artificially raised South China tigers around the world.
The South China tiger originated from China two million years ago. It is the ancestor of all tigers in nature. The nine subspecies recognized by tigers, including the six existing subspecies, were all derived from this.
South China tiger not only plays an extremely important role in the ecosystem, but also has irreplaceable scientific value in studying the origin and evolution of tigers!
The preciousness of wild South China tigers can be imagined.
In order to change the fate of the South China tigers that are about to be extinct, the rescue measures have been taken before: release the South China tiger out of its cage and breed effectively, so that the endangered South China tiger population can be wildered to restore its wildness, and finally reintroduced into the wild in China. It gradually increases in the large and safe habitats in China. In order to achieve this goal, two main sub-projects were set up: the first is the South China tiger wilderness project, and the second is the South China tiger pilot reservation project in China.
However, the forest where Wang Badao is located is not one of the Chinese tiger pilot reserves, but the most authentic wild South China tiger appeared in this place. Wang Zheming was not only surprised, but also surprised and the helplessness of the South China tiger's death.
Although the dead South China tiger can prove that there are still wild South China tigers in China, it is far less precious than the living South China tiger. And who knows whether this is the last wild South China tiger? Perhaps with the death of this South China tiger, the wild South China tiger will really become extinct. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the death of this South China tiger means that there is no longer any other tiger in a mountain range.
Wang Zheming calmed down. Although his wish over the years came true, he finally found an authentic wild South China tiger. However, the death of the South China tiger also made him feel sorry for him. He turned to other students and protectors who were already shocked.
"Although the South China tiger is dead, it still has research value. We need to carry its body back for research."
"And, this South China tiger has a huge size of nearly three meters. It almost has the largest South China tiger known. How did it die? It seems that other animals definitely killed it! What this unknown animal is still to be seen, but we must be careful and safe. Even the absolute overlord in the forest, which is nearly three meters long, can be killed, which shows how powerful this unknown creature is. If we are not careful, we may stay here forever. So, we must be careful."
"Professor, what animal can kill this South China tiger? Could this South China tiger be killed by poachers?"
Li Yue asked everyone's questions, and everyone was looking forward to Wang Zheming's answer.
"This is definitely not the South China tiger killed by the poacher. There are no gunshot wounds on the South China tiger. Moreover, if the poacher killed this South China tiger, we would not have encountered the body of the South China tiger here. It would have been transported away by the poacher." Wang Zheming said with certainty.
Wang Zheming has not had a deal with poachers once, and is still very familiar with poachers. He is extremely hated for poachers. If it weren’t for poachers’ crazy hunting and killing wild animals, there wouldn’t be fewer and fewer wild animals. Currently, there are about 1.5 million known animals on the earth, and 75 species are extinct every day in the world, and 3 species are labeled as death every hour. Many species have disappeared from the earth before they have time to be described and named by scientists. Although the extinction of these animals is related to the persecution of the earth’s ecological environment, poachers also make an indelible contribution.
After carefully observing the corpse of the South China tiger, Wang Zheming was a little confused.
"Looking at the death of the South China tiger, it seems that it was strangled by a python, but this place is not a tropical rainforest, how could there be a python? Moreover, even if it is a python, this python can actually kill a South China tiger that is nearly three meters long? This is too incredible!"
Suddenly, Wang Zheming seemed to have discovered something. He was dumbfounded, as if he had discovered the most unbelievable thing in the world. Wang Zheming suddenly said anxiously: "Come on gloves, don't get close to the corpse of the South China tiger first. Well, come here with a chemical reagent."
"Professor, why?"
Li Yue took his gloves and walked up to Wang Zheming. Seeing Wang Zheming's strange behavior, Li Yue was a little puzzled. It is normal to wear gloves for the body of the body, but there is no need to use chemical reagents? Others also looked at Wang Zheming in confusion, not knowing what the old professor was going crazy.
Wang Zheming didn't care about everyone's puzzled eyes. At this moment, his eyes were filled with excitement and urgency. He just wanted to make sure of one thing now! That is, is this South China tiger poisoned?
Because of observing the black blood flowing from the corners of the South China tiger's mouth, Wang Zheming found that it had a toxic characteristic. If the South China tiger was really poisoned, there is a certain possibility that it was left by the python, which can also prove why the South China tiger was killed by a python. Or rather, poisonous! In Wang Zheming's consciousness, this kind of python that is not a tropical rainforest is not too big, and the possibility is the greatest. A python of five or six meters is absolutely impossible to kill a tiger with a volume of nearly three meters. If it is a python with severe toxicity, then everything will be explained.
Perhaps, when Wang Zheming really saw Wang Badao, he would know how big the gap between the five or six-meter python he imagined was with reality. How terrible it is to a giant python that is truly invincible in the animal world!
Wang Zheming used a syringe to extract the blood of the big tiger's markings, and then dripped it into chemical reagents, and the blood spread quickly.
Wang Zheming opened his eyes wide and suddenly said happily: "Sure enough, it's true. Haha... I really didn't come in vain this time."
"Professor, have you developed something?"
"Yes! Professor, do you have any major discoveries when you are so happy?"
"Professor Wang, tell me quickly, it's all so anxious."
"Haha... don't worry, listen to me slowly." Wang Zheming laughed loudly when he saw everyone's surprise appearance, and obviously said happily: "What do you think this is?"
Wang Zheming stretched out the chemical reagents in his hand and asked. Except for the five defenders who held rifles and were responsible for protecting everyone's safety, the other students were top students in the school, so the chemistry class was naturally excellent. When everyone came around, they all exclaimed.
"The blood of this South China tiger is actually highly toxic..."
"Yes, it's really incredible. Could it be that the South China tiger was strangled by a python after it was poisoned? I just said, how could a python kill a tiger that was nearly three meters long..."
"Li Yiran, I just said that the python could not kill the South China tiger. It must have been killed by the python after being poisoned and was attacked by the python after it was attacked and killed."
The student named Li Yiran was dissatisfied.
"This is not necessarily the case. It is possible that the python itself is highly toxic..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
When everyone heard Li Yiran's words, they burst into laughter. This was not a ridicule. After all, they knew that Li Yiran was angry and just smiled kindly.
"Haha... Li Yiran. Have you never studied biology? When did the python actually have a poisonous python? Why don't I know?" The student just now said with a blow. Obviously, the relationship between the two was not very good, otherwise they would not have been so snatched by Li Yiran.
Li Yue interrupted and said, "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, I heard from the professor."
Li Yue's words are still very useful. There are only two girls out of the seven students, and Li Yue is one of the school beauties in school, so there will naturally be no shortage of people who pursue it. Among the five male students, some may participate in this event to get close to Li Yue. After all, there are too many people who pursue it in school, and it is difficult to highlight that he attracts Li Yue, and there is no chance to contact him. This is a rare opportunity. After all, you will get the moon first. Only with the opportunity to contact will you develop in the future...
Wang Zheming said again: "Although it is not certain whether the python is a poisonous python that has never been discovered before, or whether the South China tiger was poisoned by other animals and was killed by the python! This is still to be investigated. However, we should look for the python and find the answer. If it is really a poisonous python, the value of the poisonous python is much greater than that of the South China tiger."
