Super Zoo

Chapter 592 Qilin and Jerboa

Hearing this voice, Nangong Yan pursed her lips and smiled at Su Ming, which meant that you are really a busy person. It has only been less than a day since you came back, and there are already waves of people coming to your door.

There was nothing impatient or unhappy in this smile. On the contrary, Nangong Yan was quite proud, which showed that her man was capable. Let’s just talk about this small town. Whether it’s Mayor Wu in front of you or the one outside, the man who really makes the decision is his own man.

Old Wu was obviously stunned. He stood up and asked Su Ming in a negotiating tone: "How about I leave through the back door first? You can talk to him about the specific matters. If you think it's okay, it can really bring benefits to the town. It’s okay for me to give up my job as mayor to him.”

"Old Wu, we are not dealing privately. We are all doing this for the good of the town. Why shouldn't we be seen in public? Come out with me and have a look." Su Ming smiled, holding Old Wu's hand and walking out.

"That's fine."

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the yard, I saw a large truck at the door, surrounded by a large group of people from the town. Sun Lijun was standing on the back of the truck.

The carriage was covered with a canvas, and something seemed to be under the canvas.

Seeing that Old Wu was there, Su Lijun was slightly startled, and both parties smiled awkwardly as a greeting. Sun Lijun said to Su Ming: "Brother, my boss knows that you run a zoo and like animals. These are specially given to you."

After saying that, Su Lijun opened the canvas on the truck compartment with a swipe.

"Wow……"

There was a burst of exclamation, and even Su Ming's eyes widened.

On the truck was a large iron cage.

The large cage is larger than the cage used to transport gorillas in the zoo. There is an animal about the same size as an adult elk. It is similar in size to a deer, but much stronger than a deer. Its body is as muscular as a calf, and its head is There are two long sharp horns, and there are symmetrical white stripes on both sides of the cheeks, which look very much like the paint on the face of Indians...

"Antelope?" someone onlookers said.

Su Ming frowned slightly, climbed into the car, stared at the big guy, and looked carefully from both sides. The two horns on its head are exactly the same in size, shape and angle, so when viewed from the side, it looks like a unicorn with only one horn.

"Is this Wu Guangniu?" Su Ming asked Sun Lijun uncertainly.

This thing is so rare that even Su Ming has never seen one alive, only specimens.

"Brother is really knowledgeable!" Su Lijun gestured with his thumb and said proudly, "That's Wu Guangniu. This guy has another name, he's known as the Asian Kirin!"

When he said this, it seemed a bit like Wu Guangniu. The stripes on Wu Guangniu's face looked majestic and mysterious, and his body was strong and powerful, but he had no scales.

Wuguang cattle and Asian unicorn, whose scientific name is Zhongnan eland, belong to the genus Antelope of the family Bovidae. Because the two horns have the same curvature, it looks like it has only one horn from the side, so it is also called the 'Asian Unicorn'. Su Ming recognized it based on this feature.

Although China has thousands of years of unicorn legends, it is only in the past few decades that Wuguangniu has been known to humans. In 1992, Wuguangniu was first discovered in the Annan Mountains. Its discovery was considered one of the most amazing animal species discoveries in the 20th century. one.

Su Ming shook his head and smiled. His backstage boss was really wild. The Wuguang cattle population was very rare and faced extinction. It was listed as a critically endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The number was so small that even the International Union for Conservation of Nature could not accurately estimate it.

Maybe there are only a hundred or so in the world, maybe only a few dozen, or even extinct.

The number of Asian unicorns was already rare. More than ten years after they were discovered by humans, they were hunted to extinction and became a legendary creature again.

Precisely because the number is too small, and it is not a unique species in China, there are basically no species in China, so the Wuguang cattle are not on the list of protected animals in China.

Just like no country has included Phoenix, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and wild Ultraman on the animal protection list.

Wu Guangniu was originally lying in the cage. After seeing the person, he immediately struggled a few times and stood up with difficulty. He looked at the crowd with a serious expression. He was full of momentum and serious expression, giving people the impression that a big leader was inspecting .

"Cousin, where did you get this thing?" Su Ming used his mental power to investigate. This Wu Guang cow was very healthy and uninjured. It didn't look like it was poached.

"Hey, we'll talk about this later and take a look at these."

Su Lijun bent down and uncovered the remaining canvas.

In addition to the large iron cage containing Wu Guangniu, there are four small cages about the same size as suitcases in the car. Each cage contains three or four of the same little guys.

The little guy has gray fluff all over his body and is only about the size of a fist. He looks like a little mouse, dragging a long, thin, hairless tail, kangaroo-like hind legs, and a pair of big rabbit-like ears. and pig nose.

There were a dozen of these little guys in total. After seeing people, the little guys didn't run around in panic like mice. Instead, they jumped up and down in the cage very excitedly.

The cage is too short, and the little guys' jumping ability seems to be very good. They bump their heads every time, but it still can't stop their enthusiasm for jumping.

Sun Lijun smiled and took out a little guy with a rope tied to his legs from the cage and put it in the car. The little guy was so happy that he squatted on his hind legs and jumped up to a height of more than one meter, making him eye level with Su Ming.

Kick, kick, kick... The little guy was like an acrobat with springs on his feet, jumping up and down in front of Su Ming, and his two big ears waving accordingly.

The little guy in the cage was like he had eaten exploding candy, jumping desperately in the cage and couldn't stop at all.

"Is this a long-eared jerboa?" Su Ming was not sure at first, but after seeing the little guy's amazing jumping ability, he was sure.

This little guy is a specialty of the northwest desert of China: a mouse that looks like a rabbit, and has hind legs as developed as a kangaroo. It is an expert in high jumps in the animal world and can jump more than ten times its own height.

The biggest attribute of the long-eared jerboa is that it is innocent and stupidly not afraid of people, similar to the stupid roe deer in the northeast. When the stupid roe deer sees people coming, they will stand still stupidly, while the long-eared jerboa will jump excitedly on the spot, and don't know how to escape, and will jump until it can't jump anymore.

So the long-eared jerboa is known as one of the most suitable cute pets for domestic breeding... This is also the reason why it is endangered.

Jerboas living in the desert have many natural enemies, including snakes, eagles, lizards, and even scorpions. All aggressive carnivores are its natural enemies. Apart from jumping, it has no ability to protect itself. What's more terrible is that it will not run away when it sees any other creature.

It is easy to catch it. As long as humans find the habitat of long-eared jerboas and sit down to smoke a cigarette, many jerboas will come and jump around you...

I have no idea how this kind of idiot survives on the earth. In fact, long-eared jerboas are very rare and are one of the top ten endangered animals in the world.

Like Wu Guangniu, it has not yet been included in the list of national key protected animals in my country.

"My boss is an animal lover and has his own manor abroad. These are all my boss's private collection. I heard that you like animals, so I airlifted them overnight as a gift." Su Lijun smiled.
