Chapter 427: Endangered Animals Grand View Garden

"One male, two females, three giant pandas.

After bringing it back from China, it grew up smoothly under the careful care of the director's grandfather, and began to reproduce.

However, the survival rate of this animal was not high, and there was no experience in raising them at that time, and they often died young, and the number never went up.

In the 60s, the director's father also took four female pandas to China for breeding, and then went every few years.

Finally, the number reached eleven, but there was a canine distemper, and seven died at once.

Giant pandas in captivity are not very adapted to the environment of Holland and can only survive for about 20 years, so there are still three pandas in the park for decades.

Over the years, the Chinese government has sent two pairs of pandas to us in the UK, respectively in London and Edinburgh Zoo, after the economic crisis, the number of tourists in Edinburgh decreased, and the director of the restaurant business failed, and there was no money to move the zoo away.

I've got a job and I'll be over at the end of this month's class. ”

Perhaps because of the small number of tourists, the conductor has no one to communicate with, and he has become a chatterbox, and he must often talk about this history when he is skillful in introduction.

He looked at the wall clock on the wall and stepped out to open the iron door.

"It's time to go in.

Be careful, some of the floor tiles are not paved and water will splash out if you step on them. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Owen screamed, and his white pants were full of black spots of muddy water.

"Look, that's it......" the conductor spread his hands and looked helpless, "we don't have the money to fix it." ”

Han Xuan took the ticket, and for the sake of the ten pound tip, the conductor also gave a giant panda doll and handed it to Anya to hold.

After saying goodbye, head to the zoo.

Han Xuan looked at the notice of sale again, and thought carefully in his heart.

In the 80s, Huaxia introduced the "Panda Lease Plan", but it was canceled within a few years. Changed to cooperative protection.

Renting a pair of pandas for 10 years costs the Chinese government $10 million in rent, an average of $500,000 per year.

And the born panda cubs have to be returned to Huaxia, and those who want to come to London Zoo and Edinburgh Zoo are.

But this zoo is different.

The pandas here have been breeding since the 40s, when the new Chinese government had not yet been established, which is a historical legacy.

In other words, the cubs do not need to be returned to Huaxia when they are born. There may be only one zoo in the world that has privileges!

There have been many cases of bankruptcies and sale of zoos, but I have never heard of anyone selling a zoo with giant pandas.

Westerners have almost zero resistance to this kind of silly and silly second goods, and pandas can attract tourists.

Giles Zoo is too unlucky, there are two pandas in one city, and its reputation is not as famous as that of Edinburgh Zoo, and when tourists go there, it naturally has no business.

This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Han Xuan!

Unless you rent at a high price. Or if you do something big that shocks the motherland, you can ask them for it by relying on your Chinese identity, which may be the only chance to raise pandas.

Raise a panda

The aspirations of four billion people on Earth.

Han Xuan smirked and touched his pocket, and brought the check

Two keepers are feeding the flamingos, who run east to west, competing for food in shallow water.

Flamingos live in flocks and look very pleasing.

There were more than eighty of them, and the ligaments of the wings were cut. You can't escape from it in the open air.

However, this bird is naturally indulgent and loves freedom, even if it can't fly. Also escape from the lake and wander around.

After Han Xuan came in, the birds were gone, the tigers didn't roar, and the keepers sprinkled a handful of feed into the lake, and these flamingos miraculously didn't eat.

Black swans sneak in to prepare to steal food. The flamingos that were running away by countless legs were trampled into the water, and several black feathers floated up, so frightened that the black swans fled quickly.

Seeing them running towards Han Xuan, the bodyguards stopped in front of him and Anya. The flamingos quickly stopped, tilted their heads to look at Han Xuan one by one, and then remembered that they were still eating, and rushed to the lake again.

When it comes, it is like a gust of wind, and when it goes, it is like a gust of wind.

The keeper had never encountered such a thing, and when he saw that there was no danger, he waved his hand to apologize.

Jackals, tigers and leopards are not far apart.

There are two or three of them per species, and the African lion pack is slightly larger, with three males and five females, among whom there is also an albino variant, which should be very old.

The Bengal and Siberian tigers were locked in two cages when they found someone approaching, lying on a rock, watching them.

Han Xuan was unexpectedly here, and when he saw three tigers with Nanzhong National Tiger written on the signs, he suddenly couldn't walk.

I thought to myself, what kind of person is this, the Siberian Tiger and the South China Tiger, they all got here!

However, it is only 1994, and the protection of animals was not strict before, so it is indeed possible to get them over.

Lie on the side of the railing and take a closer look at the South China tiger.

In a few years, there will be fewer of these things than giant pandas, and the wild ones will almost become extinct, and only the zoo will keep more than a hundred of them.

I lost the South China tiger, but the ones sold abroad are alive and well, no matter how you think about it, it's a bit ironic.

The more Han Xuan looked, the more surprised he became, this zoo also has red-bellied golden pheasant, black-necked crane, Tibetan wild ass, takin, golden snub-nosed monkey, sickle-winged chicken, guinea deer and other super protected animals, the place is not far away, it seems to be a Chinese conservation zoo.

Every time I see one, I gasp, and when I see the four white dolphins in the pool, I will pass out!

Later, I didn't look at the animals, I only looked at the names on the railings and the number of animals.

Sumatran tigers, four, Borneo dwarf elephants, three, golden-headed monkeys, five!

Two Javan rhinos, two black-footed ferrets, five wooded owls......

It is simply a first-class protected animal park!

Common animals like koalas, kangaroos, zebras, African elephants, giraffes, etc., are inconspicuous in the mix.

Han Xuan understands why no one buys a giant panda, it's not that he doesn't buy it, it's that he can't afford it!

In other zoos, you may be able to see several of these protected animals.

But putting them all together is against the sky, and there are more than 40 species of endangered and protected animals!

There are only a dozen Australian owls left in the world, and here are three, and New Zealand's dying quokkas are six.

Han Xuan couldn't wait to see who the director of the garden was, and who could get so many protected animals.

So after asking the keeper, he walked to the bamboo forest that the other party pointed to......

An adult giant panda stared at a mung bean and poked its head out of the treehouse, then another one.

An old man in his fifties with glasses, a gray coat washed white, sat on a chair.

Next to him, the young man he had just seen was holding a hair dryer to dry the panda cubs in the wooden box.

The little guy was angry and wanted to run away, with short legs and short arms, he couldn't run out, and pretended to be dead to cover his dark circles.

The old man looked very gentle, and when he saw Han Xuan and them coming, he smiled and said, "Visiting the panda, I just helped it take a bath, wait a while, it is shy and doesn't like to show people."

If you want to feed the bamboo, you can buy it for ten pounds a piece.

Look, they seem to like you very much.

Are you from Huaxia?"

The last sentence was asked in Chinese, with a better accent than any Westerner Han Xuan had ever seen.

Also blurted out in Chinese.

"That's right......" (To be continued.) )

PS: PS: I want to help them keep a species, if they are really extinct, Han Xuan can have them here, and help them reproduce, in fact, there are several that have been around for 94 years, and now they are extinct. So ignoring some rationality, a relatively reasonable plot will be arranged.
