Lao Yang's words caused several laughs, and a middle-aged white man teased: "It turns out that there are still yellow people in the Rothschilds?"

As soon as he heard this, Lao Yang knew that he had met an expert, and he asked in surprise, "Do you know a lot about zebras?"

There is an allusion in the sentence of the middle-aged man, at the beginning of the white people in Europe and the yellow people in Asia tamed the wild horse as a war horse and a colt, and the zebra in Africa is stronger, larger, more swift and more beautiful than the wild horse in the Eurasian continent, so isn't it more suitable for domestication for agriculture or warfare?

But the Africans never domesticated them, and when the white colonists came, they confidently thought that the Africans couldn't tame the zebra because they were stupid, so they took it personally, but found that they still couldn't domesticate the zebra.

The only thing that ever gave Europe a glimpse of domesticated zebras was a Rothschild zoologist named Watson, who drove a carriage pulled by four zebras to Buckingham Palace and claimed to have tamed the zebra and became its owner.

The Rothschild was a member of the mysterious family that had claimed to rule the European financial world in countless stall literature, but he was pulled by four juvenile zebras, barely willing to pull the cart by whipping and abuse, and in fact the zebras were never tamed.

The middle-aged white man did not answer and asked: "Young man, these zebras belong to your family, so did you tame the zebras or did you poach and breed zebras illegally?"

Several people around looked at Yang Shubao with ill intentions, if it weren't for the lack of signal here, someone would definitely call the police because of his words.

Many blacks and whites are hostile to the yellow race, and they are happy to cause some trouble for the yellow race.

Yang Shubao shrugged and said, "Everyone knows that zebras have never been tamed, and I have not tamed them. ”

Immediately, a young man frowned and stared at him and said, "Then you illegally keep wild animals in captivity?"

"He's just kidding. "Someone spoke for him, it was an acquaintance, and Mason came.

Yang Shubao said: "I'm not kidding, they just ran out of my territory. ”

"You yourself admit to illegally keeping wild animals in captivity?" several people immediately stared at him.

"Of course not, they just came out of my reserve, and I have a wildlife reserve," Yang said. ”

The middle-aged white man has an incredulous expression on his face, and this expression is called Nick Young's black question mark face.

Maison laughed, "I can attest to the fact that this guy does have a sanctuary." ”

Yang Shubao didn't talk nonsense with them, he gave John a look, and John went to recruit zebras.

There were not many zebras, six adult horses with four young horses of various sizes, the tallest of which stood on the side of the road and watched the crowd vigilantly, while the others looked for fruit on the ground to eat.

The reason why these zebras gather on the side of the road is because there are many snake fruits on the ground, and they are eating them.

Needless to say, these snake fruits were left behind by the car transporting fruit trees in the reserve, and a car broke down here in the afternoon, or Yang Shubao drove a tractor to pull away the snake fruit trees on the car, and the fruit was dropped when the fruit trees were transferred.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Yang Shubao saying that these zebras are his, and eating his fruit is his goods.

Zebras are herbivores, they eat grass, bushes, branches, leaves and even bark, and have a strong digestive system, but they definitely prefer to eat fruits, and all herbivores do not refuse fruits, but most of them have no life to enjoy.

Seeing John coming, the tallest zebra began to neigh.

Mason reminded him, "Be careful, this is the king of zebras, and he has a very strong temperament. ”

John walked over with a relaxed step, but as he approached the zebra that was about to flee, it slowly quieted down, and now even the head pony went to eat the fruit, which had just been a sentry.

Zebras live in small groups, with only one stallion among the adult horses, and the others are mares and ponies, and the stallions of the ponies are driven away when they reach adulthood, similar to a lion pack.

But unlike the lion, the stallion is a model husband, acting as a sentry and standing guard while his wife and children are eating.

John walked over and touched the zebras' heads one by one, they didn't run away, and continued to eat the snake fruit in their mouths normally, and they were very happy.

Some people saw that their eyes were hot, and they also wanted to go up and touch the zebra's head, and the zebra immediately ran away.

The middle-aged white man admonished: "Don't go near them, it's your fate, touch them from the front and not from the back, or they will kick you to death with one hoof!"

"That's too exaggerated, isn't it?

The middle-aged white man sneered: "If you knew that zebras hurt more people every year than lions, you wouldn't doubt my words." ”

The zebras, who were standing on the highway under John's leadership, moved to the side of the road, and some of the people who were too old drove away.

As the zebra picked up the snake fruit on the ground, John patted the head of the horse and walked forward, and the head horse and the other horses immediately followed, and when he entered the meadow, he ran briskly in front, and the horses slowly chased behind.

Not very fast, zebras are not as good as their relatives, Mongolian and Arabian horses.

The middle-aged white man was dumbfounded, and he said, "This can't be, you really domesticated the zebra? I mean, how could the herd think of that guy as the head horse? It's a sign of domestication." ”

Many people couldn't understand his words, and the middle-aged white man further explained: "There are four major indicators of human domestication of animals, one of which is that animals have familial characteristics, and if you domesticate the boss of the group, then the whole group will treat you as the boss." But that's not the case with zebras, if you tame the head horse, the other horses will run away, and the same is true for lions and hyenas, so they are considered undomesticated. ”

Yang Shubao said: "Sir's knowledge of animals is really rich, how do you know so much?"

The middle-aged white man said casually: "I'm the director of the Hluhluwe Nature Museum, what's the matter with these zebras? They can't be tamed by you, can they?"

The other party is a professional, so Yang Shubao can't talk about it, he said: "Yes, they are not tamed, but they have indeed lived in my reserve for a while, and they are already familiar with my people, so they will leave with him." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged white man nodded and said, "Then you protect them, you know their identity, right?"

Yang Shubao said with a smile: "Of course, this is the mountain zebra, the smallest group of zebras, and the smallest number of species, which is on the verge of extinction. ”

Mountain zebras are easy to recognize, they have black and white stripes all over their body from the top of their head to their toes, which is different from other zebras, and they have a throat pouch structure around their necks, which is also a feature.

Watching John lead the herd away, Yang Shubao turned the car around and left.

The director of the nature museum stood in front of the car and looked at the back of the zebra that was fading away, his face full of thought.
