Chapter 457 Golden Eagle
Xiao Peng drove to the airport, where he had already booked a business charter flight for a non-stop flight to Cincinnati, Ohio. In fact, the business jet flew fast enough to reach Cincinnati in only four hours, but due to the three-hour time difference in between, it was already night when they arrived in Cincinnati, so the two stayed in the hotel for one night and arrived at the best pet farm in the suburbs of Cincinnati early the next morning.
In other words, this place is really big, and you need to drive to visit it in the park.
However, although the place is very large, there are not many animals in it, and most of the time customers make reservations and then purchase them through their own methods.
However, seeing the 'pets' sold here, Xiao Peng was really dumbfounded, and he was surprised to see a Siberian tiger, which is commonly known as the Siberian tiger by the Chinese.
This is a first-class key protected animal in China, and as a result, it has become a pet that can be bought and sold casually, which is the most direct embodiment of the 'money first' of the Stars and Stripes Country. The Stars and Stripes are heaven, that's true. It's just a paradise for the rich.
The football team here is called the 'Cincinnati Tigers', which was founded in 1937 because the Cincinnati Zoo at that time housed the rare Bengal tigers in the Stars and Stripes at that time. Today, the Bengal tiger is the most common pet tiger in the Stars and Stripes.
Xiao Peng has opened his eyes, among the few pets here, there are all kinds of strange animals: for example, the great American anteater, who really dares to raise this thing? This anteater living in South America is currently the largest anteater in the world. Although this thing is cute, it is also big, about two meters long, the movement is also slow, and there is only one food on the recipe, ants, but this thing is really not as cute as it looks. It only takes a single claw to kill someone.
Even the cougars (golden cats) and jaguars (jaguars), which live at the top of the American food chain, are often no match for the big anteaters! The claws of the giant anteaters are extremely sharp, because they are afraid that their claws will hurt their palms, and the big anteaters walk with their claws curled up and on the ground with their claws, and it is precisely because of this that they look so bulky.
This thing has a strong sense of territory, and it is ugly and explosive, and it turns out that it is all raised?
There are also red-billed toucans, red and green macaws, multicolored macaws, blue-gold macaws and other birds, which are listed in the appendix of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora!
The owner of the pet farm is called Huey Newton, a white man, he can smell the strange smell on his body from a meter away, like a beast, an out-and-out animal maniac, he is known as the best animal expert in the western part of the Stars and Stripes, looking at Xiao Peng looking at the parrot, Huey smiled and said: "Please believe in our business ability, if you like parrots, please tell me directly, as long as you have money, I can find you a blue-throated macaw or a Puerto Rican Amazon parrot!"
Xiao Peng whistled, the parrots he said were almost extinct in the wild, and he said that they would definitely not be wild if they could be obtained, but this is also very awesome, right?
There is also the black panther from Malaysia, which is actually a black variant of the Indian leopard with short ears and a long tail. In Malaysia, almost all leopards are black. Even the most experienced hunters in their area did not know that the leopard was brown and yellow with black spots. They thought the leopard was supposed to be pure blackγγγγγγ In fact, this is because the leopard herd in Malaysia suffers from a disease called 'black degeneration'.
But because of this, leopard smuggling is rampant in Malaysia, because this black panther is really too popular. One can only be bought for more than 100,000 US dollars! Smuggling such a one, according to Malaysia's consumption level, can be good at eating and drinking for a few years. So a lot of people take risks for this. I just don't know if this is where it came about.
Alexandra's eyes lit up when she saw the panther: "What a beautiful big wildcat." β
Xiao Peng took a breath, your aesthetics are really unique, there is basically no possibility of domestication of an adult black panther like this, even if someone buys it back, it can only be put in a cage to watch.
Huey laughed, "Pretty guy, isn't it? It's a pity that Daquez Dennard has bought it." I'll just leave it here for now. β
Xiao Peng frowned, he knew that Daquez Denard, the second-year corner back of the Cincinnati Tigers, was reimbursed for the season because of shoulder injury surgery, how could he buy such a big guy?
Seeing Xiao Peng's doubts, Huey shrugged his shoulders and said: "These damn niggers, when they get to the NFL and get a huge contract, their lives are directly made a world of difference, all kinds of squandering, what is it to buy this? When the players are injured, it is also the best time for our business here, and they are idle and only have to spend money indiscriminately! If they focus on the game, this year's Tigers will not even be able to make the playoffs! Uh, you won't say that I say this is racist, right?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "I didn't hear anything. β
"George Iloka booked the Bengal Tigers, Dan Sanzenbach booked the Plowshare Turtles, James Wright bought Zebras, Kobe Hamilton bought alpacas! Even the damn AJ Green bought two lemurs! Did the Tigers' wide receivers collectively switch careers to animal keepers? AJ Green really needed to buy a monkey too! He was as impulsive as a monkey!" Huey said indignantly.
Xiao Peng smiled, a large part of the reason for the poor results of the Tigers this year is because of injuries, especially in the wide receiver position, there is simply no one available, and injuries are taking turnsγγγγγγ Especially their Pro Bowl star wide receiver AJ Green's performance, uh, really good, especially in terms of fighting, he played with Jalen Ramsey of the Jacksonville Jaguars! played with style! played with skill! played hundreds of thousands of fines! played with N game suspensionsγγγγγγ
This incident fully illustrates the importance of ------ trash talk, Jalen Ramsey is a famous trash talk master in the NFL, oh, he is still very good at trash talking. In his words, 'I never greet his wife, children and other family members, which is not right and seems very unculturedγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng wants to know, how to scold a talent is a 'cultured scold?' You must know that AJ Green is a 'three-good student' in the NFL league, who has played so many games, has never clashed with an opponent on the court, and has not even been awarded a personal foul, which is rarer than NBA stars who have not been whistled for technical foulsγγγγγγ
Just like Chinese people like to talk about politics, Stars and Stripes people like to talk about sports, and when they talk about it, they will talk endlessly. Xiao Peng waved his hand and interrupted Huey's words: "Huey, I really want to talk to you about rugby, but we are in a hurry now, and we have to hurry back to Los Angeles, I want to buy what I need to go back quickly." β
Huey nodded after hearing this: "Let's go, what you want is in front." You can already see it!"
Xiao Peng looked in the direction of Huey's finger, and sure enough, he saw several huge circular iron cages that could be ten meters high.
"What you want is in there. Xiao Peng looked along and took a cool breath: "This is not Wang Buzzard! This is a golden eagle, isn't it? Although they are all chestnut brown, the difference in physique is a bit big!"
Huey shrugged: "The formalities are complete, you can keep it as a pet, of course, if you want to bring it back to Huaxia, it will be a bit troublesome." It is a species on the international trade control list of the Washington-Don Convention. But as long as you're willing to spend money, I'll be able to send it back for you. β
Xiao Peng whistled, and sure enough, there were snakes, snakes, road rats, and rats.
There are also golden eagles in China, but they are very rare, and they are first-class protected animals in China! But in the country of stars and stripes, they are second-class protected animals that are not in danger of extinction.
The golden eagle is really not a golden eagle, and its feathers are also brown or rust-colored, and the reason why it is called a golden eagle is because when the sun shines on the feathers on the back of its head and neck, the metallic luster reflected is completely different from the luster on its body. That's why it got its name. Both the ancient kingdoms of Babylon and the Roman Empire used the golden eagle as a symbol of sovereignty and was the national bird of Mexico.
The national bird of the Stars and Stripes is the bald eagle, which must not be bought and sold in the Stars and Stripes, but what if the national bird of Mexico is sold? Huey has a pair of golden eagles here!
"Ya Li, do you like this guy, if you do, how about bringing them back as pets?" Xiao Peng asked Ya Li on the side, Ya Li's eyes had already turned into little stars. This is a real big guy, with a wingspan of more than two meters and a body length of nearly one meter! After listening to Xiao Peng's question, he nodded desperately: "Xiao, I like them, I want to take them to the Comic Con." β
Huey shook his head after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao, did you buy it for Alysanne? Then I really don't recommend you to buy it, these two golden eagles are already adults, they are difficult to domesticate, and they are prone to hurt people." Unlike other eagles, it is known for its bravery and might, and even beasts such as wolves are on its diet, and if it hurts someone, it can be a big problem. I know that the Chinese people know the golden eagle best, but now is not that era. β
It is said that the Chinese people know about the golden eagle, referring to the era of Kublai Khan. At that time, Mongolian hunters were prevalent in domesticating golden eagles to catch wolves, and in Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Guo Jing shot the golden eagle to death. But to this day, in zoos all over the world, there has never been a single golden eagle successfully bred in captivity!
And there are a lot of golden eagles in China, but the bad habit of 'falconry' poses a serious threat to the survival of golden eagles, even today, there are still many people in Inner and Outer Mongolia who domesticate golden eagles, which is a national tradition, so it can't be said that it is wrong, but for the protection of golden eagles, this is a great problem.
