Mammoths are an extinct genus of elephants, the mammoths. Exists during the Ice Age.

Because all the mammoths were found dead and half-buried in the earth.

Mammoth lived about 11,000 years ago, originated in Africa, distributed in Europe, Asia, and the northern part of North America in the early Pleistocene, and can adapt to grasslands, forests, tundra and snow fields, and other environments.

The last group of mammoths became extinct around 1670 BC.

And the mammoth tusk in Zhou Rui's hand is a prehistoric giant beast - mammoth tusk.

Mammoths and prehistoric mammoths are also not of the same rank.

This prehistoric mammoth is comparable to a large dinosaur.

The combat effectiveness is very strong.

As we all know, ivory is precious.

So a lot of people take the risk and smuggle ivory.

Even if it violates the law, it will not hesitate.

Ivory is worth its money.

And it's not generally valuable.

On the black market, there is no market.

And the mammoth fangs, which are more precious and rare than ivory.

Because it is scarce, it has become a thing collected by many nobles.

······

Mammoth ivory is the front tusk of mammoths, commonly known as ancient ivory, also known as 10,000-year-old ivory. Mammoth tusks were larger in size than modern ivory, and most of them were calcified or petrified over time, and only a small fraction of the icy mammoth tusks preserved in the Arctic permafrost could be used for carving.

Only about 15% of the mammoth tusks found can be used for carving, while the rest of the calcified or petrified parts cannot be used for carving.

Mammoth tusk has a refractive index of about 1.54 and a density of about 1.70 g/cm³.

Due to limited resources, mammoth ivory will become less and less valuable as people continue to mine and excavate.

Compared to modern ivory, mammoth ivory is not as widely recognized.

There are historical reasons for this, since ancient times, ivory products have been widely recognized, especially the princes and nobles as a treasure to ward off evil and avoid disasters, but also increased its value.

And when ivory is widely used in craft collections and luxury goods, the public is familiar with and recognizes it.

Mammoth ivory has only been used for ivory carving and artistic creation for decades. According to Mr. Chen Naichang, a master of ivory carving and painting at the Kyoto Ivory Factory, he had seen mammoth ivory carvings as early as fifty or sixty years ago, but this was only a rarity in the field of ivory carving.

If measured from the perspective of resource scarcity, mammoth ivory is more valuable because it is not renewable, coupled with its greater density and hardness, the price of high-quality mammoth ivory material is now much higher than the price of modern ivory.

Therefore, the collection has broad prospects and huge room for appreciation.

Because of the same hardness and density, there is no significant difference in the carving process between mammoth ivory and ivory. However, the epidermis of mammoth ivory is dyed with iron, copper and phosphate to form a variety of different colors such as blue, green, red and yellow, so some mammoth ivory handicrafts on the market will retain the "tooth skin" to show its simple and heavy style.

This method of carving, which preserves the skin of the tooth, is also called an innovation in ivory craftsmanship by ivory carvers.

Collectors can choose mammoth ivory carvings with or without the "tooth skin" according to their preference.

······

Zhou Rui had never seen such mammoth tusks.

It's huge.

A mammoth tusk, even taller and bigger than him.

It's not the same as the mammoth tusks that have been unearthed.

The mammoth tusks in his hand looked as if they had just been cut off from a mammoth's body.

There is no sign of any excavation.

If you use this carving, you can definitely carve a hand-me-down work.

Become a national treasure.

······

Among the ordinary red envelopes, these few things made him feel a surprise in his heart.

Something else.

It was no longer possible to affect his state of mind.

Something that can be bought with money.

Zhou Rui would not be too shocked in his heart.

Next, Zhou Rui opened the red envelope of life.

Although there are not as many life red envelopes as ordinary red envelopes, there are quite a few of them.

In the first red envelope of life, Zhou Rui got two cute Samoyeds.

It's very beautiful and cute.

The second life red envelope is a pair of cranes.

In addition, there are larks, magpies, orioles and other birds.

There are also pets such as Erha, Garfield, etc.

There are also koi, carp, lobster, crab and many more.

To Zhou Rui's surprise, there were also a few - blood red dragons.

Because the cultivation and breeding of blood red dragons is very difficult, and at the same time, the demand for blood red dragons in the market is relatively strong.

Therefore, the price of this kind of ornamental fish has always been high, and the average price of the pure blood red dragon is about 2,000 yuan, even if it is just a seedling.

The price of a blood red dragon that grows to thirty centimeters is usually more than 10,000 yuan. If it is a blood red dragon with a bright red body color and pure color, how much it is worth depends on how the seller makes the price, and you definitely don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. There are many local tyrants who are willing to rob.

After all, there is no shortage of rich people in Huaxia.

The Blood Red Dragon, as a type of Arowana, is also a very ancient radial-finned fish. The first Arowana began to appear on Earth as early as the Carboniferous period more than 300 million years ago.

The Bloodred Dragon, on the other hand, appeared in Asian waters about 140 million years ago.

According to the biological classification, the blood red dragon belongs to the arapaimidae family, and its appearance is domineering and spiritual, somewhat like a cannonball.

In addition to fish and shrimp, the wild blood-red dragon even hunts amphibians such as frogs.

However, due to factors such as reproductive ability and water pollution, the number of red arowana in the wild has become very scarce.

As early as the 80s of the last century, the blood red dragon was listed as a key protected animal under the Washington Convention, and all forms of trade and killing were strictly prohibited.

And the reproduction pattern of the blood red dragon is also very strange, the female blood red dragon is responsible for laying eggs, and the male is responsible for hatching, and the male will hold the eggs in his mouth when hatching, and use the temperature in the mouth to help the eggs hatch.

The artificially bred Blood Red Dragon is certainly more pure and gorgeous in color than the wild Blood Red Dragon, but in terms of wildness and survivability, it is far from comparable. The wild Blood Red Dragon has a fierce temperament and a strong desire to attack, while the artificially bred Blood Red Dragon is much more tame. However, for the viewers, they don't mind the temper of the blood red dragon, and many people also regard the blood red dragon as a symbol of wealth, keeping it at home in the hope of attracting wealth and treasure.

And in Zhou Rui's hands, there were a total of twenty-four blood red dragons.

Of them twelve are females and twelve are males.

And it's all wild.

This thing is also the kind that money can't buy.

The blood red dragons on the market are all artificially bred.

There is simply no way to compare with the wild one.

This is a key protected animal.

However, for this point, Zhou Rui is not worried in his heart, the natural environment in the Ten Thousand Worlds Bead is so good that it is better than the environment on the planet now.

The air is clear and the water quality is superior.

Give the Blood Red Dragon a place where there are no natural enemies, then it won't multiply quickly!
