On the morning of April 12, Ji An took his old partner Fat Tiger and took a helicopter to Uganda.

Uganda and Virunga are located in the Great Rift Valley region, with similar highest altitudes of around 4,700 to 5,000 metres. But the difference is that Virunga is a mountain range with undulating hills, high and low, while Uganda has a special geographical term, a tropical plateau.

Due to the movement of the earth's crustal plates, the Great Rift Valley is similar to arching Uganda from the ground level, creating flat savannas, tropical rainforests, swamps, basins, etc., located on the plateau, and the geographical location close to the equator and abundant precipitation, this area is dotted with large and small lakes and rivers, as well as the source of the Nile, Lake Victoria.

As a result, Uganda is also known as a highland water town, rich in natural products and one of the most intact and almost unspoiled places on the planet.

However, there are gains and losses, and the topography of the plateau makes it difficult for modern industrial pollution to enter, but at the same time, it also makes Uganda very low in productivity, and belongs to the least developed area of human society.

Then again, it is Uganda that is the least industrially developed that makes it the most likely to be home to the near-extinct northern white rhino.

Ji An's search for the northern white rhino this time is unlikely to be like a headless fly to try his luck, and the green umbrella has already planned in advance.

According to the living habits of the white rhino, they require a relatively flat terrain with shrubs as cover, and at the same time have abundant pastures and water sources, the white rhino is mainly active in the evening, night and early morning, resting in dense jungle or grass during the day, sometimes several kilometers away from the water source, and prefers to roll in muddy pools and sandy riverbeds.

Therefore, like most animals, if you want to find a white rhino, you must first search along the water source. The flat-lying main river in Uganda has been "plowed over" many times by environmental groups, photographers, animal photography teams, helicopters and boats, and if there were any northern white rhinos, they would have been discovered a long time ago.

Therefore, the target location of Ji'an is located deep in the grassland forest, which is beyond the reach of manpower, or it is impossible to camp for a long time and carefully search tributaries, hidden small lakes, and swamps and other perennial uninhabited areas.

According to the topography around the water source, the density of grass and forests, Green Umbrella has screened out 9 locations that are most likely to have northern white rhinos, and each location has about 2 to 2 days of search time, if not, the helicopter will come and pick him up to go to the next search site.

Although this method is still a needle in a haystack, it is the one with the greatest chance of finding the northern white rhino at the moment, on the one hand, it is the well-known survival ability of the anchor Fat Tiger in the wild, and on the other hand, he has a divine dog that can find pandas and herd lions.

Ji'an's first stop was to go to the animal shelter in Yuganda, where Hart had contacted in advance to pick up the northern white rhinoceros.

After about four hours, Ki'an arrived at the shelter after the helicopter passed through the water vapor clouds splashed by a huge waterfall on the plateau, the sky was sometimes gloomy, sometimes the sun was shining through the gaps in the clouds, and along the way, he encountered many terraced rice fields carved out along the mountain.

As the only animal environmental protection organization recognized by the United Nations, the structure of the Green Umbrella is very large, although there are only 2 observers, the number of employees affiliated to the Green Umbrella is not inferior to a Fortune 500 company, and almost all kinds of animal sanctuaries and reserves around the world can see the green umbrella.

The head of the animal shelter in Uganda is a staff member of Green Umbrella, and the day-to-day operation of the shelter is financed by the Green Umbrella Animal Protection Fund.

The person in charge is called Matthew, from the rooster country, after shaking hands and getting acquainted, he asked Ji An if he wanted to rest for a day or set off immediately, Ji An looked at the shelter, there was nothing fun, he had seen everything he should see, and said that he could leave now, Matthew brought two bags of rhinoceros baba packed in sealed bags.

…………

More than an hour later, Ji An jumped down from the grassland 8 kilometers away from a quiet lake at the first search place marked on the map, so as not to disturb the rhinoceros, and then the helicopter took off and left, if Ji An failed to find the white rhino, he came to pick him up with supplies two days later, and went directly to the second search place.

It took more than four hours to fly from Virunga in the morning, and then another hour from the shelter, and it was already past 5 p.m.

Ji An looked up at the golden sunset pillars that leaked from the dense clouds, and raised his eyebrows: "Just enough to be lazy." ”

As the rainy season is approaching, the change of seasons is a gradual process, and the location here is on the plateau, the climate itself is changeable, and the sun is shining and the weather is rainy at times of the day, and the solar charging panels cannot provide the power required for long-term live broadcast of mobile phones.

Ji An planned to use this as an excuse to only open a live broadcast for one or two hours a day to make a show, and the rest of the time, he wore a "black eye" and went back to the streets of Shancheng to hang out, and no one knew him.

Because he didn't want to dig into the bushes, forests, and grasses to find rhinoceros at all, rhinoceros was active at night, and at night, Aman with treasure crabs, both night vision heat source, and night vision glimmer, rhinoceros's physique is so spicy and obvious, fly around the lake, how convenient is this, why bother with the ox's nose to run around? He didn't come to enclose.

It took a while, Ji An walked 8 kilometers on his back with a fat tiger on his back to the lake, and when he saw that it was more than 6 o'clock, he didn't bother to set up a tent, so he opened the door and went back to the moon delivery room.

Tatu was playing with Aman under the peach blossom tree, and in the glass house, the big bear had already gotten up and was having breakfast.

Seeing Ji An, the big bear threw away the nest head in the bear's paw, ran over, took out the pad, and pressed the key to enter.

The penguin prompt sounded, Dayu pointed to the Tatu that dropped a peach blossom petal, and the evil bear complained first: "That Tie Hanhan can't make a fart after beating it for a long time, so he knows to smirk at me." ”

Ji An: "It's also getting in the way of your laughter?"

"It's not just laughing, it's harassing me!"

Ji An asked strangely, "Why did Tatu harass you?"

As he was talking, Tatu walked over with his fists propped up, squatted beside Dayu with a docile face, the two were just about the same height, the silver back raised his big hand, stroked the panda's round head, and whispered while touching the unique enjoyment of the silver back: "h...... h……”

Dayu was angry, grinned: "grrrrrr......" pushed away Tatu and typed on the pad: "Look at it yourself, can it make my head go casually? Hurry up and take this Tie Hanhan away for me!"
