"Of course, it's a powder keg, the south of Qinglian Ranch is Yellowstone National Park, where there is the world's largest active volcanic group, although it is some distance from Yellowstone, and there are southern mountains of Montana isolated, but Qinglian Ranch and Yellowstone Park are like twin stars, there are also several volcanic groups scattered here, providing a huge heat source for Qinglian Ranch, plus the ranch is surrounded by mountains, internal lakes, The numerous rivers make Qinglian Ranch form a unique natural climate, which is completely different from the surrounding area. Zeng Gong said as a matter of course.

Roger and Natasha glanced at each other, both saw the incredible in each other's eyes, with Zeng Gong's explanation, they deliberately paid attention to the surrounding environment, and sure enough, after walking out of Livingston Airport, the environment has changed a lot, and the plants are more abundant, and some plants that only grow in some humid areas in the south have also appeared. Not only plants, but also animals are colorful, although they do not know how environmental protection is in the Park County area, but the animals in Qinglian Ranch are extremely active and relatively rich.

"Roger, what do you see there?" Natasha suddenly pointed to the pale yellow figure in the distance who was constantly stretching her neck and staring, and screamed.

"What?" Roger looked in the direction of Natasha's finger suspiciously, his slender figure, black eyes, and innocent eyes looked cute, as for what kind of animal he was, he was not a zoologist.

"Hey, Natasha, you saw that right, it's black-footed ferrets, and they're completely wild, I've never stocked them. Zeng Gong smiled proudly, there are often rare animals in Qinglian Ranch, and the black-footed ferret does not seem to be very precious.

"Oh my God, are they wild?" Natasha covered her mouth with fear of screaming and scaring away the cute guys.

The black-footed ferret has long been proven extinct in the wild, and what is now seen is that scientists have bred it in captivity, although it is now distributed in eight areas. Natasha has volunteered and trained animals, and she knows what that means.

"There are about 300 of them, and they are good helpers in the pasture, and the number of prairie dogs and rats in my farm is controlled by them. Zeng Gong nodded seriously, because their presence made the work in the ranch a lot easier.

Because of the presence of the black-footed ferret, there are few places in the pasture that have been destroyed by prairie dogs, but there are several controllable areas where the vegetation has been destroyed, and it is quickly covered with easy vegetation due to plant reproduction, and it is restored to its previous appearance.

"More than three hundred?" Natasha covered her mouth again and looked at Zeng Gong in horror.

God, the black-footed ferret was declared extinct in the seventies of the last century, and more than one hundred and twenty were found in Wyoming in the eighties, and soon two outbreaks of disease made the black-footed ferret suffer the catastrophe, and then the U.S. government captured eighteen and bred so far, in order to maintain the genetic diversity of the species, it is divided into eight breeding bases, and even uses the frozen ** of the black-footed ferret that died before, and the protection and breeding can be described as exhaustive.

"It's nothing, look at the bird in that birch tree. Zeng Gong pointed to the pigeon that was combing its feathers on an outstretched straight trunk and said nonchalantly.

"It's just a wild pigeon. Natasha glanced at it and quickly gave an answer.

"Wild pigeons? Zeng Gong smiled contemptuously, and then said, "Natasha, you are so humorous, that is a famous passenger pigeon, not an ordinary wild pigeon in your mouth." ”

"That can't be. Natasha immediately screamed with excitement.

There were once more than five billion North American passenger pigeons living in the United States. In 1866, a flock of North American passenger pigeons passed through southern Ontario, Canada, forming a 'River of Feathers' more than 1,600 meters wide and 480 kilometers long, and it is said that there are more than 3.5 billion of them. In 1901, the last wild passenger pigeon was hunted in Illinois, and in 1914, the last passenger pigeon, Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoo.

"Nothing is impossible, it's just that amazing, isn't it? Zeng Gong shook his head, he wouldn't refute anything at all, facts speak louder than words.

"No way, are you mistaken, the passenger pigeon has been extinct for almost a hundred years. Natasha shook her head firmly, her faith had never been shaken.

"I can provide the video. Zeng Gong was surprised by Natasha's stubbornness, although he didn't want to argue about anything, and finally thought about it, he still felt that he had to come up with evidence.

Now the ranch has developed into a million-acre giant comprehensive ranch, and it is no longer possible to complete the patrol mission with a few helicopters alone, so Zeng Gong has purchased a considerable number of infrared cameras, and this number is still increasing, to meet the needs of Qinglian Ranch.

"Natasha, that's the passenger pigeon, Zeng, I didn't lie to you, the infrared camera in the ranch has captured them many times, but unfortunately the specific number is still uncertain. Elena glared at Zeng Gong, then wrapped her arms around Natasha and explained softly.

"Really?" Natasha looked at Elena with wide eyes.

She never doubted the veracity of what Elena said, but the concept she had built up since she became an animal volunteer suddenly showed signs of collapse and she didn't dare to accept it.

Of course, you can see many magical places in Qinglian Ranch, where you can see the coexistence of temperate rainforests and tropical rainforests, grasslands, lakes, The forests work together to encircle the desert, the valley full of all kinds of gems, the goddess of light butterflies fly here, the freshwater pearl oyster exposes the fresh shell flesh in the water to bask in the sun, all kinds of hummingbirds are busy, a Chinese farmer with two college students commands a large group of experts and professors to artificially transform the Qinglian Ranch, many things that subvert everyone's cognition are constantly being corrected, so you have to learn to get used to it. Elena whispered the magic of the Blue Lotus Ranch.

"Is it like beef from Qinglian Ranch?" said Roger suddenly.

"Hehe, that's right, buddy, Qinglian Ranch is like that, whenever you think you know it well enough, it will always bring you another kind of surprise, even I don't fully understand it. Zeng Gong looked at Roger with a smile and said. 、

"It's not 30 degrees north latitude anymore. ”
