539 Javan Tiger Reappears?
The BBC team completed the filming of the Javanese rhinoceros, and Cavill did not expect it to be so easy and smooth, so in order to express his gratitude to Liu Wei and Sap and other rangers, a celebration banquet was organized in the village in the evening.
It was lively according to local folklore.
Liu Wei sat on the side, holding his mobile phone and flipping through it.
Eyes lit up.
Big data computing pushed him a striking piece of news.
The news was published by the Qiandao Daily, a well-known local Chinese-language newspaper.
The Thousand Islands Daily uses the online channels of The Java Post, Indonesia's second-largest mainstream media group, to reach Internet users.
The article was titled "Javan Tiger Reappears in Ujungkulung National Forest Park?".
There is a question mark after the question.
This question mark is also a question that arises in Liu Wei's mind when he sees this report.
The Javan tiger has not been seen since the fifties of the last century and has been confirmed to be extinct.
More than half a century of scientific research and research has proved that animals like the Javan tiger cannot exist in the world.
Could it be that this report is a so-called headline file, used to attract people's attention?
Liu Wei shook his head.
He didn't think the mainstream media would take advantage of such a coercive tactic!
Not to mention scrolling down, there are still a few photos.
The photo is black and white, and the shot is not very clear.
However, if you can see the general outline of the animal, there is no doubt that it is a big cat at a glance.
Blurry photos give conjecture.
A professional analysis is also given below the news, which is similar to the Javan tiger in terms of size, but experts clearly point out that the Javan tiger is an extinct species and is not renewable.
The regeneration of a species is not something that can be completed in a few decades, it is related to the restoration of the entire large biological chain related to the prefabrication.
There are also many netizens who speculate that there are still Javan tigers in the world, but they have not been discovered by humans?
Or is the environment getting better and it's coming back?
Liu Wei simply flipped through the messages of netizens, and it was obvious that netizens were very interested in it.
But his views are biased towards the expert opinion given by the report, and it cannot be a Javan tiger.
There's a lot of evidence to prove it.
The size of the Javan tiger is similar to that of the Malayan tiger, smaller than the Indochinese tiger, and the distribution range is about five per 100 kilometers.
The Ujung Kulon National Forest is protected by armed forces, and it is impossible for rangers who have been operating here for more than half a century not to see it.
On the extreme side of the evidence, there is no such thing as a Javan tiger being sold on the black market, and the most important reason for the extinction of the Javan tiger is human killing, because the prices on the black market are too tempting.
If so, how could poachers not know?
There is also evidence that it no longer exists in the world, that is, breeding, even in the fifties of the last century, when the experts gave the conclusion of extinction, there were still one or two alive, such a small base, it is impossible to reproduce to this day.
Thinking of this, Liu Wei suddenly remembered a video of mammoth activities published by the Russian media a long time ago.
At that time, it attracted attention from all walks of life.
After investigation, it was an ordinary African elephant that was artificially photoshopped, and the video was blurred to attract people's attention.
Could it be that someone deliberately photographed Javan tigers to attract people's attention?
Liu Wei stared at the photo carefully and shook his head, this kind of conjecture is not very likely!
An idea arose in his head and in his heart at the same time to solve the puzzle.
It so happened that the location of the photo of the Javan tiger reported on the news was the Ujung Kulung National Forest Park, where he is now.
According to the analysis of the range of the big cats, the feline boss who was mistaken for a Javan tiger in the photo must still be in the national park.
In addition to the vast area, there is also plenty of food, and the top predators should regard this place as a paradise, how can they be willing to leave?
Cavill drank a few bowls of wine, and the fire hit his face, making it look red.
He walked over to Liu Wei with a smile and sat down next to him, "Liu, why don't you go dancing?"
Liu Wei smiled: "When I am alone, I like to be quiet!"
"What are you looking at?" Cavill noticed Liu Wei's eyes staring at his phone.
Liu Wei directly handed the phone to Cavill and asked him to see it for himself.
Cavill flipped through.
Speaking of his spirit, he became serious, turned his head to look at Liu Wei and asked, "Is this true? Isn't the Javan tiger already extinct? How can it still appear in the world? It must be used by those media to create topics!"
In the process of filming "Big Cat" with the BBC documentary team, Cavill is also constantly enriching his knowledge of felines.
Although it is not as professional as Liu Wei, it can be regarded as entering the door.
He naturally knew about the Javan tiger, which is why he was so puzzled.
He hoped that Liu Wei could give him a reasonable answer.
Liu Wei took back his phone, "I don't think it's a method used by the media to create topics, maybe it's other species!"
"What could the other species?" asked Cavill.
"Based on this partial report alone, I can't be sure, if you are interested, you can follow me to have a look, of course, there may not be such good luck as finding rhinos today!"
"Liu, I really want to accompany you to see it, but you know that I have to go to Africa to shoot the material of the African black rhinoceros, I thought that Africa will not be as smooth as today, we can't delay the launch of the documentary, I hope you understand!"
Liu Wei just mentioned it casually, and Cavill seriously recounted his difficulties.
At this time, Sapp walked over smoking a cigarette.
Cavill immediately asked, "Sapp, have you ever seen a tiger in the rainforest?"
Tharp is the one who knows the rainforest best, and Cavill thinks Sapp should know something.
"Tiger?", Sapp showed a surprised look, and subconsciously prompted him to look at the mobile phone in Liu Wei's hand, after he finished reading the news, he shook his head, "No, no, there are no tigers here, the news report is fake!"
"Are you sure?" asked Cavill.
Sapp nodded, "When I was born, there were no tigers in the rainforest. ”
Liu Wei smiled, got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, "What the hell is it?"
"The village mentioned in the news is not far from us, more than 50 kilometers to the west, and there is also an animal rescue center. ”
"Thanks, Sapp, I'll take a look tomorrow!"
Sapp pinched the cigarette butt, showed a few big yellow teeth and smiled, "Good luck Liu, you are the best expert I have ever seen here who can get close to the beast!"
“ok!”
Liu Wei clapped his hands with Cavill and Sapp.
Rest at night at a villager's house in the village.
In the morning, the domestic time was calculated, and the broadcast started at ten o'clock Beijing time.
Liu Wei turned on the live broadcast with a look of spirit.
"Ah~, the young man is in good spirits!"
"What were you doing last night? Did Cavill have a treat?"
"Hey, hey, Awei, be honest!"
"Can you say that kind of thing? Ah Wei is now a public figure!"
Liu Wei looked at the barrage and joked: "The village chief is going to marry his daughter to me, but I didn't agree!"
"Phew~"
"Stinky and shameless!"
"The village chief's daughter is estimated to look the same as Grandma Qiao!"
Liu Wei shook his head, "It's good that you guys really don't miss me, okay, don't talk too much, I'll take you to explore the secrets of Wurong Kulong National Forest Park!"
