244. Review Team (1)

,!

On the day the fruit tree transplant was completed, a jeep and a Buick sedan drove into the reserve.

Yang Shubao thought that these people had something to do with the workers, so he stood at the intersection and looked at the car in wonder.

Money and goods are paid, and there should be no problem.

Two cars were parked on the side of the road, a middle-aged white man stepped out of the Buick, and four black men got out of the jeep, they were all dressed formally, still wearing ties and leather shoes on a hot day, and they looked like they were selling insurance.

As a result, the middle-aged black man in the lead showed him his ID and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang, we are the review team of the Land Rights Protection Working Committee of the Ministry of Land Reform, and it is a pleasure to meet you." ”

Yang Shubao remembered Officer Benson's words, and after verifying the information on his work card, he asked, "You received a report that I tampered with the nature of land use and came to review the situation here, right?"

The middle-aged black man nodded and said, "Yes, I am Cromwell McTosh, the leader of the group, these three are my team members, and this gentleman is Mr. Charles Carter, the director of the Hluhluwe Nature Museum, who will assist us in the review work." ”

As soon as he heard the introduction, Yang Shubao recognized it, and when he shook hands with Charles, he asked, "Sir, we've met before, haven't we?"

Charles smiled: "Yes, just when you took away the zebra herd, I hope those zebras are still on your territory, to be honest, you will be more troublesome today, we already have the information on your purchase of poultry and livestock such as pigs, sheep, cattle and chickens, and we also have the evidence of your orchard." ”

Yang Shubao said calmly: "I do breed a lot of chickens, pigs and sheep, and I have just planted many fruit trees, but I have not built an orchard, let alone engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, I accept your review." ”

"You didn't build an orchard, so what are you planting more than 10,000 fruit trees for?" a young black man asked sharply, "We came to the door only when we had the evidence, sir, you had better contact your embassy quickly, Director Carter is right, you are in trouble." ”

"I planted the orchard to provide food for some animals and birds. ”

Several blacks laughed at once.

"Then let's go and see. McTosh said.

Yang Shubao took them directly to the new reserve, and they walked through the deep grass, and Charles said in amazement: "The grass here grows really well." ”

"Because I've watered and fertilized them, you know, it's a second layer of energy for all the animals in the reserve. ”

"What's the first layer?" someone subconsciously asked.

Charles replied: "Sunlight, grass absorbs solar energy, herbivores eat grass, carnivores eat herbivores, it's a three-tiered energy progression structure that completes the biosphere – oh shit!"

A large rat hiding in the grass was startled by them, and it staggered and nearly hit the curator.

As they walked, they ran into several rats, and Charles complained, "You have too many rats here, right?"

"Rat Ranch?" quipped the black youth.

"The grass grows well and there are more rats, but they are a food source for carnivores, and they are not useless," Yang said. ”

Several people laughed, apparently not believing him.

When he arrived at the orchard, the black young man took out his camera and began to take pictures as evidence, and after taking a few pictures, he pulled down the camera attached to his face and asked, "Is that a baboon?"

On a mango tree next to the orchard, a large baboon is holding a fruit and gnawing hard.

Charles walked over slowly and said, "Yes, guinea tail baboons, the more common species of baboons on the grasslands. ”

The pig-tailed baboon was wild, and when he noticed Charles approaching, the big baboon smashed the mango into his face.

Yang Shubao rushed up with an arrow step and punched the mango away, and he said loudly: "Everyone be careful, this baboon is aggressive, and it has caused a lot of trouble since the arrival of their group. ”

He deliberately alarmed the baboon, the guinea-tailed baboon has a characteristic, the male baboon has no feelings for the race, but the family bond between the female baboon is very close, if there is a fight between the female baboon, other female baboons will rush over to "help the fist" for their relatives and friends.

Sure enough, as the baboon squeaked, several female baboons jumped down from the tree and ran this way, and when they saw that there were many people, they climbed the tree again and hid.

Matosh was surprised and said, "Are there really animals in the orchard?"

Yang Shubao looked at it, and as expected, the twisted horn forest antelope was also here.

Originally a forest belt animal rather than a grassland animal, the gazelle preferred leaves and fruits over grass and shrubs, and as orchards were built, the herd shifted.

With the addition of four small forest antelopes, this group of twisted horned forest antelopes is not small, and the review team easily discovered their traces.

There are also many birds flying between the orchards, which are easier to spot.

When Charles saw the pitted wounds on the fruit, he said: "It is true that there are many birds eating fruit here, and the fruit grove should not be planted for the purpose of producing fruit, because wild birds are very cheap, and they will not stare at one fruit and peck at it, but peck at that fruit on that fruit, and such fruit must not be sold." ”

McTosh nodded: "I understand this, and then go to other places to see." ”

Yang Shubao took them to the mud pond along the way, and as usual, the two litters of warthogs ran away immediately when they found someone coming.

The little ostriches came running in flocks, and Metosh looked at him suspiciously, and Yang explained: "I rely on them to keep watch, and you know, there is an endless stream of poachers. ”

The large forest antelope herd and the zebra herd wandering on the grassland appeared one after another, the forest antelope herd was full of shocking power, and the posture of so many large animals gathering in a group and moving slowly made people gasp when they saw it.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention to be attracted by the Dalin Antelope, Yang Shubao called Ma Long out and said in a low voice: "Later, let the fierce eagle steal a chicken." ”

Malone said, "It doesn't do that anymore. ”

"You can do it this time, and I'm ordered to steal chickens. ”

Ma Long suddenly turned around and disappeared into the grassland.

"The big lynxoid is not very aggressive, we can get closer and have a look, this group is quite interesting, a small wildebeest I rescued is mixed in it, and there are two Asian bison ......"

"Asiatic bison, white-limbed bison?" interrupted Charles in amazement.

Yang Shubao nodded: "Yes, white-limbed bison, you must not believe it, this is what I rescued from the slaughterhouse, and the town officer Benson can testify to me." ”

Charles hurriedly walked to look, and when he found the two snow-white calves, his face finally showed a shocked expression: "There are even Asian bison in our country?!"

McTosh asked in a low-key manner, "Mr. Carter, is this animal rare?"

"World-class protected animals! This sanctuary is doing a fantastic job!"

"We can go back, and there are two lions and honey badgers and other animals here, and there are a lot of rare birds, because I have planted a lot of flowers, and some rats and birds have stayed here as a habitat," Yang said. ”

"You mean the rat bird?" this Metosh also knows, endemic to endangered birds in Africa.

As they were walking backwards, the eagle swooped down from the sky, snatched a white rooster with lightning speed and flew away......
