When looking at the photo of the foreigner in the news holding a tree lobster, Ding Qi was stunned again. The picture is very clear, and when you zoom it out with your fingers, you can see many details of this stick insect, which he has clearly seen many times when he was a child.

When his father was alive, he often took him to visit his grandfather in his hometown in the countryside, and sometimes he would live at his uncle's house for a period of time during the winter and summer vacations, and often played in the mountains and forests with the children in the village. He had seen this stick insect, some of which were larger than in the news photos, probably more than 12 centimeters.

This kind of thing is not common, and it can only be found occasionally, but when I go into the mountains and forests, I have seen it many times. The villagers in my hometown are not biologists, so they call it a tree bug, and it is said that it can be roasted and eaten. Dantinzi didn't roast tree bugs to eat, because he didn't dare to catch them.

The tree lobster is the largest stick insect in the world, and the tree bug that Nadingqi saw when he was a child was bigger than in the news photos, and the shape and details are almost identical, it should be the tree lobster. Biologists have declared it extinct for 80 years, and it seems likely that even without the latest discoveries in the South Pacific, this conclusion is likely to be wrong.

Biological investigations are based on statistical conclusions, and it is possible to declare a species extinct after there have been no credible sightings for several years. But in fact, in many remote areas, some people have seen and do not know what species they are, and they have not left any image data, let alone any biological research results.

Thinking of the suspected tree lobster he had seen in the mountainous area of his hometown, Ding Qi thought of another animal, the scientific name of this thing is elk, commonly known as the four dislikes. Tintze is 100% sure that the biology community's findings on this species have been wrong for many years. Of course, this kind of error is not an error from the perspective of scientific research, but the statistical conclusions do not match the actual situation.

When Ding Qi's uncle participated in the construction of farmland and water conservancy in the 70s and 80s, he saw elk in the mountains several times. In recent years, the ecological environment in the hometown area has become better and better, and there are more traces of elk. Later, Ding Qi also saw the wild four dislike with his own eyes, he not only saw it, but even ate it!

The elk is known locally as "stew", and Ding Qi does not know how to write words, only the pronunciation, which is the local dialect of his hometown in the mountains. I remember that one year when I returned to my hometown for the Chinese New Year, a neighbor came back from hunting a stewed seed in the mountains, and every family in the village got meat to eat. Of course Tintzi also ate it, and it tasted pretty good!

Wild animals are now protected, and those caught poaching will be punished heavily, but in mountainous rural areas, this kind of thing happens from time to time, as long as it is not too excessive, the law enforcement will turn a blind eye. They are all from the township, and there are only a few people in the township police station, how can they all be managed.

Local game, there are always roe deer, muntjac, deer, rabbit, the order of ranking is based on deliciousness, that is to say, roe deer is the best, muntjac second. In fact, the stewed meat is also very tasty, but due to
