In order to speed up the filming process, the director team specially arranged a shooting team to follow Liu Wei to shoot directly.

The director stayed behind to guide the filming of Jackie Chan and Yao Ming's public welfare films.

The shooting crew was simple.

Three people.

A videographer, an assistant, and a staff member.

The chief director walked up to Liu Wei and smiled, "Teacher Liu Wei, do you need anything?"

Liu Wei "No need, three people, one set of equipment is enough!"

"You follow Mr. Liu and follow his wishes!" The director instructed.

The three nodded.

Arrive at Beijing Zoo.

Liu Wei turned on the live broadcast and followed the managers to the pangolin breeding area.

"Brothers, today I will take you to see a cute animal, the pangolin!" Liu Wei has entered the state.

The cameraman's camera followed him closely.

The pangolin keeper opened the door, Liu Wei and the cameraman walked in, and the keeper stood behind, ready to deal with emergencies.

There are more than 100 Chinese pangolins in this breeding area, most of which are used for artificial breeding to continue the Chinese pangolin population, and only a few pangolins are used for external display.

Liu Wei walked in and happened to find a mother and son of pangolins moving on the grass.

The baby pangolin lies on its mother's tail and uses its paws to grip firmly into the gaps in its scales.

Adult female pangolins climb very slowly, for fear that the baby will slip off their bodies.

"Wow! And love!"

"It's so cute!"

"It's the first time I've seen pangolins up close!"

"Pangolin, listen to this name, how domineering, but why does it look so cute?"

In the footage, the pangolin seems to smell Liu Wei's taste, and its visual degradation is very serious, basically relying on olfactory activity and predation.

The slender head turned, and two black eyes looked back, as if they could be sure it was a stranger.

Liu Wei stood at a distance and did not worry it, it was used to the environment here, knowing that in the zoo, no one would hurt it, and the keepers would not allow others to harm it.

After looking at Liu Wei twice, it turned around and continued to crawl forward.

The baby pangolin crawled from its tail to its body and climbed to its back.

Mother and son are taking a leisurely stroll.

Liu Wei walked up.

Face the pangolin and shoot while crouching.

An interesting scene happened.

The baby pangolin immediately slipped off its mother's body and rolled into a ball, and the female pangolin curled the baby in her abdomen, forming a ball.

Liu Wei smiled, "Brothers, it seems that they are not very familiar with my taste, and I made them feel the danger."

In fact, the pangolin is a very docile animal, and there are too many natural predators in nature, even domestic vicious dogs can harm it, and its attack ability is not strong.

It is more likely to rely on their own defense ability and hide to avoid the hunting time of natural predators, and sneak out to hunt at night.

And its food chain is very narrow, almost only eating termites and ants, but the amount of food is amazing, like the adult female in front of us wearing armor, can eat about 300 grams of ants and termites per meal.

Because of this, it is called the guardian of the forest!"

When Liu Wei was popularizing science, he found that the pangolin's mother slightly loosened her body, revealing her flesh-colored head, and her black eyes were looking at him, looking ignorant and a little scared.

"Are you looking at me?" Liu Wei lowered his head to look at it and smiled, "Don't worry, we are here today to protect you."

Your partner who lives in the wild is being harmed by criminals, and we need your cooperation to complete the filming of the documentary, can you be more generous and cute?"

The pangolin stared at Liu Wei for a while.

It found itself defenses redundant, and the stranger who suddenly approached did nothing to hurt it.

It slowly unfolded its body, then sniffed the still curly baby with its nose.

The head of the pangolin baby stretched out from its abdomen, and when it saw Liu Wei, it retracted again, and under the persuasion of its mother, it slowly spread its body.

The mother lifted her hind legs and stood upright, holding her two little paws flat in the air.

It is showing its children how to stand upright, and it needs to teach this skill to its children, because anthills usually form an earthen bunker, and the pangolin needs to maintain an upright position to dig up the anthill and then use its long tongue to hunt for food.

The pangolin baby understood what its mother meant.

Try to lift both hind legs up, lean on the tail to support the body, and stand upright.

It's hard.

Finally completed the movements taught to it by its mother.

However, because of his young age, his physical strength was poor, and after standing for a few seconds, his body deviated and he fell to the ground again.

Liu Wei smiled.

The little one's body curled up again.

Its mother walked over to be affectionate, encouraging and caring for it.

"Brothers, are you cute?" Liu Wei smiled.

"Super Wide!"

"I used to see pangolins in my hometown when I was a kid!"

"I work in the customs, and every year I find some pangolins that are illegally traded, and they have been stripped of phosphorus tablets, which is shocking to see!"

"It's cruel!"

"Those perverts, what are you doing with other people's clothes?"

Liu Wei said solemnly, "Brothers, wild Chinese pangolins have entered a state of functional extinction.

Functional extinction refers to the destruction of the living environment of the species, the number is so scarce, that it basically loses the ability to maintain reproduction in its natural state, and even loses the ability to maintain survival.

Some experts believe that it is possible to restore the wild population of Chinese pangolins as long as they start to protect them.

But in the international market, the number of pangolins traded illegally is too frightening, according to the IU (International Union for Conservation of Nature), in the past decade, millions of pangolins have been killed for illegal trade, the largest of which is the Chinese pangolin.

The Chinese pangolin is now classified as critically endangered by the IU.

The main reason for this result, which is somewhat ironic to say, is precisely because of the human mouth.

In nature, the pangolin has many natural predators, but when it is really in danger, it shows a strong defensive ability, and even big cats with excellent bite power can hardly bite through its scales.

Only humans will peel off its scales after catching it, and many people think that the scales of pangolins are a precious Chinese medicinal material.

In fact, modern medicine has confirmed that the scales of pangolins are similar to the chemical composition of human nails and hair, and the medicinal effect is not so magical at all, and there is no effect of passing through the milk and meridians, that is to say, people who regard pangolin scales as precious medicinal materials might as well gnaw their own nails!"

"Hahaha, it's good!"

"A bunch of wisdom!"

"Are they all SB?"

"I'm laughing to death, some people are really stupid, no, they should be ignorant!"

Liu Wei explained, "In fact, the reason why pangolin scales are being touted wildly, and when it has been confirmed by medicine, the black market is increasing instead of decreasing, it is precisely those unscrupulous merchants who use people's mentality to advocate it, and what they say is reasonable!"
