Chapter 501 Academician Liu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
"Why are you covering him so tightly?" Xiao Peng frowned.
Yang Meng had a reluctant expression on his face, and slowly untied the strip of cloth tied to the old man's face: "This Nima is not filming TV, and he can't speak if he stuffs a piece of cloth in his mouth." Fools know how to use their tongues to push the cloth out, don't you know, this old man is talking very ugly, anyway, I told you first, if he scolds me again, I will still gag his mouth!"
Xiao Peng smiled, let Yang Meng say, Xiao Peng is also curious, what is the first sentence that the old man can speak? It is best to scold Yang Meng, watching Yang Meng eat deflated, Xiao Peng is still very refreshing.
How do you know that after the old man's gag was untied, the first sentence was neither to scold Yang Meng nor to explain his identity to Xiao Peng, but to look at the tiger head sea eagle in Xiao Peng's arms with his eyes, and directly pointed out the identity of the tiger head sea eagle: "Tiger head sea eagle!"
"Mengzi, what's wrong with this old man?" Xiao Peng felt that this old man was a little abnormal, this first reaction was too unreasonable, right?
The big head fluttered its wings and flew over at this time, landed on Xiao Peng, and was intimate with the tiger head sea eagle in Xiao Peng's arms: "Big head, your brother's leg is cured, let's teach it to fly in two days." β
At this time, the little tiger family also wandered into Xiao Peng's courtyard and came to 'say goodbye' to Xiao Peng: in fact, they came to find food.
Xiao Peng just wanted Yang Meng to get some meat, but he heard the old man's strange scream, both eyes were straight, and he stumbled and said, "Dadγγγγγγ Father...... Father...... β
Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with a look of horror: "He called you Dad?", brother, my brain is a little messy, aren't you like in the movie "That Man is from Earth", you are an immortal old immortal, right?"
Xiao Peng was also taken aback, old man, what are you calling nonsense? You are calling dad nonsense? Look at your age, you are older than my grandfather, right?
The old man finally recovered from his shock and uttered the complete words: "Bali Tiger!"
"Huh?"
Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng to go out to build a venue, but he actually asked him to go out and hide.
This time he really tied up a big person, and the person he tied up like a zongzi was none other than Academician Liu Yixun of the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Although he is over 80 years old, he is still the most famous student-breeder-scholar in China, and has educated countless doctoral students under his hands, and is a member of the editorial board of the famous journal "Human-Human-Studies" of Cambridge University, and has published countless papers and works.
No wonder he scolded Yang Meng, he hated Yang Meng now, but he hated it so much: a group of the world's top scientists wanted to come to Qianliyan to study the problem of changing the habitat of leatherback turtles, but they ended up being closed.
When did the old man suffer such a loss, gritting his teeth, can I sneak up there? Don't you have a radar? I went up in a rubber boat! Thanks to the old man's good luck, he really let him run to Qianliyan, and if something really happened to him, Xiao Peng would be unable to escape the blame.
Ahh
However, Academician Liu didn't have time to talk to Yang Meng about tying himself up now, and all his attention was on a few little tigers: "Mr. Xiao, where did these tigers come from?"
Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders: "I found it from an uninhabited island in Indonesia, this is really a tiger? How can there be such a small tiger?"
Academician Liu looked at Xiao Peng with a serious face: "Indonesia? Nature is really good at playing jokes with humans! If I'm not mistaken, this would be the Bali tiger. β
"Bali Tiger, why haven't I heard of it?" Xiao Peng asked.
Academician Liu sighed and said: "You can understand that you haven't heard of the Bali tiger, this is the smallest of all modern tigers, and its size is not as large as 1/3 of the Siberian tiger, but unfortunately, according to records, the last Bali tiger was also shot on September 27, 1937." It's extinct. β
"It's extinct, so what are these?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Academician Liu tidied up his clothes: "Some animals have been thought to be extinct, but nature always loves to give people hope. Many animals have been confirmed extinct, but they have appeared in front of people's eyes, and there are many such examples, such as the Irish deer, the Nimba African tree frog, the New Zealand petrel, the terrifying lizard, and the southern pheasantγγγγγγ I really didn't expect that the Bali tiger would be able to reappear!"
Xiao Peng asked, "Academician Liu, can you be sure that this is a Bali tiger?"
"No!" Academician Liu replied simply. "This requires us to go back and do genetic comparisons. But judging by their overall form, they resemble Balinese tigers. β
"Oh. Xiao Peng's tone was flat.
Do you know what it means for the Bali tiger to reappear? This is a major discovery in biology!" Academician Liu was anxious.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "What does this have to do with me? I don't want to send these children to you for you to study and play." β
"How can you do this? If you can be sure that this is a Bali tiger, then these Bali tigers are the wealth of all mankind!" Academician Liu listened to Xiao Peng's words, and was a little anxious.
Xiao Peng pouted: "The wealth of all mankind? What is the wealth of mankind, how can they become extinct? If you think they are important, you can find them yourself, my tiger skin coat and tiger bone wine are still counting on them!"
"You!" Hearing Xiao Peng's words, Academician Liu was angry, and his fingers at Xiao Peng trembled angrily.
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Academician Liu, don't be nervous, they are all my children, and I naturally won't use them to make tiger fur coats." I still have a dead tiger there. I'm talking about it. β
"And a dead tiger?" Academician Liu was shocked.
"Yes, I met seven tigers on that island, and the father of these tiger cubs died in the tsunami, so I brought them back. Xiao Peng said.
"Can that dead tiger give us the Institute of Zoology?" Academician Liu asked urgently.
Xiao Peng looked at him and said with a smile: "Hehe." β
In fact, Xiao Peng was in ecstasy in his heart: "I'm hooked, I'm hooked." β
Academician Liu looked at Xiao Peng's appearance, and his tone became anxious: "Mr. Xiao, that tiger just died not long ago, and that is of great help to the Chinese biology community." If you use it to make tiger bone wine, it's a terrible thing! You can't do that. β
"Why not? I'm not in biology. This is my private property, I can eat meat if I want to, and I can stew soup if I want to!" Xiao Peng squinted at Academician Liu.
"Youγγγγγγγ Academician Liu stood up angrily, thought about it and sat back again, and asked with a dejected face: "Mr. Xiao, you can make a price, how much money do you say can sell it to our Animal Research Institute." β
"Not for sale. Xiao Peng did not hesitate to reject Academician Liu's proposal.
Academician Liu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Then I don't know how Mr. Xiao can hand over this dead tiger to the Institute of Zoology." β
Xiao Peng made a thoughtful look: "It's not impossible to say that I want to give it to youγγγγγγ β
"What are the conditions? Mr. Xiao, please speak!" Academician Liu asked.
Xiao Peng stretched out two fingers: "A pair of 'Huaxia Tigers' under two years old." β
"This is impossible!" Academician Liu directly slapped the table and stood up, Rao is Academician Liu has a good temper, and when he heard Xiao Peng's request, he was angry.
Isn't that the South China Tiger?
In China, the Siberian tiger is well-known, and everyone knows that the Siberian tiger is a first-class protected animal and is protected by humans. As everyone knows, the really rare tiger is not the Siberian tiger, but the South China tiger! There are only over 140 tigers in the world! All of them are bred in captivity and have long been extinct in the wild!
For example, the Siberian tiger is also distributed in Russia in addition to China, but the South China tiger, which is only distributed in China, is a tiger subspecies endemic to China!
The South China tiger is not as famous as the Siberian tiger, and the size is also a reason, the South China tiger is one of the smallest subspecies of tigers in existence, which can be about two and a half meters long, of course, compared to the Bali tiger, which is more than one meter long, it is a giant.
Academician Liu hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiao, you really can't meet this request! Now the South China tiger is too precious, and even if it is given to you, you can't raise it, the current inbreeding of the captive South China tiger population is too common, and now the surviving South China tiger has a single gene, and it is very difficult to reproduce! Moreover, the breeding technology is even more difficult, most of the small South China tigers die as soon as they are born, and you have no breeding conditions here at all!"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "That's my business, that's my condition." If it works, we'll change it, but if it doesn't work, I'll go and skin the dead tiger and cramp it. β
"You can't do this, you can't do this. "Academician Liu doesn't know what to say anymore.
He originally thought that the most unreasonable guy on Qianliyan was the guy surnamed Yang just now, but he didn't expect that this surnamed Xiao's heart was even darker!
At this time, there was a sudden wolf howl outside the hospital, and two white figures ran in, it was the North American white wolf 'Sitting Cow' and 'Crazy Horse', 'Sitting Cow' took a fat rabbit in its mouth and put it in front of Xiao Peng.
"Good boy. "Xiao Peng touched the heads of 'Sitting Cow' and 'Crazy Horse', encouraged them, and let them go out to play.
When I turned around, I saw that Academician Liu's mouth had grown and he was in place.
"Academician Liu, Academician Liu?" Xiao Peng shook his hand in front of Academician Liu's eyes, and Academician Liu came back to his senses: "Mr. Xiao, please tell me, is that a North American white wolf?"
"Ugh. If there is no Samoyed that big, it is the North American white wolf. Xiao Peng admitted. Where to find a Samoyed that is more than two meters long? What is this not a North American white wolf?
Academician Liu looked at Xiao Peng with a confused expression, and he hadn't recovered from the shock.
Another extinct animal? What an international joke!
