Yang Shubao ran over to separate the two elephants, which was not difficult, both of them were stunned at this time, blinking their eyes and looking at each other vigorously, completely unclear what was going on.

It's obviously two big male elephants with tusks, and when it dries, it should be the tusks hitting the ivory with a bang, how can this be kissed?

Because of the anatomy of the eyes, elephants can't fully see their tusks, they can only see a little tip.

So, little by little, they realized that something was wrong: the ivory was gone!

Sawing off the ivory has no effect on the life of the elephant, the reason why the poaching organization kills the elephant to get the ivory is to get the whole tusk, one-third of the ivory grows in the flesh, and the poaching organization wants to get the ivory, often by removing half of the elephant's face!

Yang Shubao especially hates this kind of thing, and will never show mercy once he encounters poachers.

But it had a great impact on their lives, and the male elephants were very sad when they found themselves without their tusks, and in the evening, the sun was spreading, and the male elephants were no longer in a mood, and they were depressed and found a place to stay by themselves, and they looked very devastated.

Zhang Jinjie said: "This situation is ...... situation"

"You can't help but want to write a poem?" Duren quipped.

Zhang Jinjie kicked him and said: "Get out, don't interrupt me, I thought of a particularly classic problem in logical reasoning, which is called the elephant tooth problem." ”

"How?"

Zhang Jinjie said with great interest: "It is said that there is a herd of 200 male elephants in the African grassland, and the elephants living in it all have teeth, but there are only two cases, either two tusks or one tusk......

"Wait, how does a tusk grow? On a long forehead? That's not an elephant, it's a unicorn. ”

"Nyima unicorn, such a big unicorn? This is a triceratops, right?"

"But the top of the triceratops is three horns. ”

Zhang Jinjie was angry: "Can you not make trouble and let me finish this question, you will definitely not be able to reason for the answer, so you will make trouble for me." ”

Yang Shubao said: "You say, continue." ”

"And then the elephants can't see their own teeth, they don't know how many teeth they have, and they don't usually think about how many teeth they have. Because the herd is cursed to die when an elephant knows how many tusks it has!"

Du Lun shook his hand and said: "What kind of chicken reasoning problem is this? It also tests logic, is there logic in this question? How can a male elephant form a herd of 200 elephants? How can a male elephant not know how many tusks he has? They are not blind, and they are not blind, and they are not blind, and they are ......not invisible."

Zhang Jinjie was furious: "I said that this is the premise, the premise is that these elephants just can't see their own teeth, and they don't know how many teeth they have!"

Lu Penghui said: "Don't worry, why do I feel a little familiar with your question?

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Jinjie was bored: "You know? I changed it a little bit, and I followed the local customs." ”

After the bull elephants lost their teeth, they became honest, and Yang Shubao and his party had nothing to do, so they got together and started to barbecue meat and drink beer.

The breeding season of African savannah elephants is relatively frequent, four times a year, which is more common among animals.

Of course, the most are people, and people can come to work hard 365 days a year.

The elephant herd in the reserve has had several flirts before, but nothing has happened, but this time it was too many male elephants that caused the female elephants to be insufficient, which caused the male elephants to shoot at the rhinoceros.

The stationmaster of Merlin came to Yang Shubao to negotiate with him, and said, "Do you want me to contact other reserves and find an elephant herd to send over?" You see, we have too many male elephants here, and there are not enough female elephants. ”

In addition to the breeding season, there are only female elephants and juvenile male elephants in the elephant herd in other periods, and once they enter sub-adulthood, the elephant king will drive the male elephants away, so the stationmaster Merlin said that he wants to find an elephant herd, that is, the female elephant herd.

Yang Shubao was naturally happy about this, but the stationmaster told him that the transportation of the elephant herd was a big problem, and once he was willing to seconded the female elephant to come, he would have to pay for the transportation himself.

This made him hesitate, and he said: "This elephant's snapping period is only four or five days each time, and this time the deadline has arrived, maybe let's leave it alone for now, and wait for the next snapping period to come and see the situation?"

He doesn't care about money, but money has to be spent on the blade.

Male elephants do not actively enter the snapping period, they are all induced by females, and female elephants have a very short snapping period, and they will stop tempting bulls after the end, so this problem is almost solved.

Besides, what is it to take a male elephant to find a female elephant in order to release your desires, or to spend money to find a female elephant?

"I can help you find a suitable sanctuary and a zoo to discuss, especially a zoo, and they may be willing to help you share the cost of freight," said the stationmaster. ”

It is difficult for zoo elephants in captivity to continue their offspring, first of all, they have a very short period of each time, as little as two or three days or more than five or six days, and the pregnancy time is as long as 22 months, and a mature female elephant has only one chance to get pregnant in nearly four years.

Secondly, elephants are very intelligent animals, and once they are in captivity, they will have psychological problems, and after giving birth, infanticide may occur for unspeakable reasons: perhaps they do not want their offspring to live in confinement like themselves.

In addition, the immunity and vitality of captive elephants are far worse than those of wild elephants, and baby elephants, like babies, initially have immunity from their mothers, and the immunity granted to them by the mother is not strong enough, and it is difficult for them to survive to one year old.

Finally, there is the problem of genetic inheritance, the offspring bred by captive elephants are weaker than the mother's, and the generation is weaker than the next, in the common saying is the weasel rat, a litter is not as good as a litter.

In short, for some zoos and other institutions, strong male elephants are still quite popular, and they need the genes of wild male elephants in order to breed stronger calves as much as possible.

Yang Shubao understood the situation, and he suggested: "Do you want to see if there are any female elephants in zoos or small reserves that need to be planted? If so, why don't you cooperate, we will provide excellent genes for free, but they have to bring the female elephants themselves." ”

Stationmaster Merlin said: "This is also a good way, then I'll go to my peers to get in touch." ”

The zoo has always had a project of female elephant breeding in the wild, and the mother elephant who grew up in captivity can not gradually learn to nurse the young elephant in the observation of population behavior like the wild elephant, and they lack the opportunity to learn in their lives, resulting in their lack of ability to nurse the young, so the zoo will send the female elephant into the wild elephant herd at a certain stage, let them learn, and then take them back.

The stationmaster Merlin has a wide network of contacts and has really found a partner, and both zoos in Johannesburg and Sasolburg are willing to send their female elephants to conceive.
