881 Seling vs American Crane
After eight days of "hard training", although Diandian, who loves live broadcast, was a little reluctant, he still stepped into the transport vehicle under the joint persuasion of Liu Heming and Alex.
In fact, it's a little late now, and this year's Kentucky Derby is on May 6th. By the time Hellois got there, there were only three or four days left to prepare.
"Daddy, do you think you'd like to miss the clouds a little bit?" asked the little one, touching the belly of the clouds.
"It's okay, they're just separated for a while, and now it's not just the dots that can see the clouds, but the clouds can see the dots too. Liu Heming said playing with the little guy's pigtails.
He was a little depressed, and the separation of the two horses actually made Diandian and Yun play the taste of life and death, which made everyone's mood a little depressed.
"Okay, anyway, let's rest for two days, and we'll go to the scene to refuel a little. Liu Heming hugged Alex.
"At that time, there will be a lot of uncles and aunts who will come over to cheer you on, and in two months, the clouds will give birth to a foal, and you will have a little friend to play with. ”
"Well, I'm going to raise a little bit of a child. The little guy said seriously, and a sense of responsibility came to his face.
"Hi, Dexter. At this time, Alfred came over with a person Liu Heming didn't know holding a box.
"Alfred, it's good for you to come here, and give me some gifts. Liu Heming joked with a smile.
"Haha, I'm really here to give you a present. Alfred laughed and said, then opened the lid of the box again, "Alex, see if you like it or not." ”
"Wow, fluffy duckling. Alex shouted happily, and then stretched out her little hand, and the little "duck duck" was caught in her hand.
Seeing the little guy so casual, the people who followed him were a little nervous.
"Alfred, what kind of bird is this?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
"The American crane, it's just three weeks old, I can put it here and try to breed it. Alfred said with a smile.
"This is Dick, a water ornithologist and a scientist for the American Crane Project. You can work together, and he can help you with some guidance in the swamp area. ”
"Hello, Mr. Dick. Liu Heming said politely.
"Hello, Mr. Dexter, thank you for being able to help with our American Crane project. Dick said politely.
"Is it okay for these two little guys to be free-range?" Liu Heming asked curiously.
Dick smiled and shook his head, "They still need to be cared for, and there are two adult American cranes in the car behind them." ”
"Dexter, the American crane is also an endangered protected animal, and there are now no more than 500 of them in the world. This is the result that has taken decades of hard work for their American Crane Project Center. Alfred said.
"Before the establishment of this project center, there were only 22 American cranes. If it hadn't been discovered in time, there might never have been such a cute American crane in the world. ”
"My God, why is it so little?" Liu Heming asked in surprise.
This number is really too small, much less than the giant panda, a national treasure in China. And to listen to them, they started doing it a long time ago.
"The American Crane is monogamous, and before we started this project, we didn't know a lot about the American Crane. Dick also touched the other baby crane in the box and said.
"They lay one to three eggs a year, but only one after the first child leaves them. At first we didn't know about this, so the breeding speed was much slower. ”
"Now we all steal their eggs and incubate them in captivity. But this is not the solution, we can incubate them artificially, but we can't teach them how to live. ”
"We let the sandhill cranes, which are similar to the American cranes, take care of the baby cranes, but they really think of themselves as sandhill cranes and don't communicate with the rest of the cranes. ”
"In the end, we had no choice but to dress up as American cranes, imitate the daily life of American cranes, and grow up with them. ”
"There is no problem with ordinary breeding now, but there is another problem that cannot be solved, and that is to teach them the ability to fly. ”
"Although we can dress up light planes as American cranes and teach them to fly. The effect is not so good, and it will take at least two weeks or so to be able to teach these baby cranes. ”
"I heard from Alfred that you have a lot of flight instructors on your farm, so we wanted to try it out and see if we could give them a new breeding center on your farm. ”
Liu Heming nodded, "This is no problem, we can try to cooperate with you." What to do, you just tell us. ”
"Daddy, shall we feed the ducklings?" Alex sent the baby American crane she was holding to Liu Heming.
"Okay, we'll feed them in a moment. But now you have to see what the big American crane looks like, and you have to let them live here obediently. Liu Heming said with a smile.
Jenny had already driven the car and beckoned over, and Liu Heming himself was very curious about what this American crane looked like.
When the door was opened and the cage was unloaded from the car, he and Alex also saw the true face of the American crane, and Alex was so surprised that he forgot to speak.
This is the real long legs, big and tall, and the two thighs are so long and long. Although Serin is also long-legged, Selin's legs are full of hair, and he doesn't look chubby.
The two American cranes were a little wary of this unfamiliar environment, their necks stretched out, and they were constantly looking at the surrounding environment.
Alex didn't care about those, put the little "duck duck" in his hand in the box, opened the cages and got into it himself.
It's just that these two American cranes are really too tall, and they want to touch their heads, and they are still cross-legged. So the little guy was not polite at all, and he put his arms around the neck of one of them, and rubbed them with his smiling face.
Being rubbed by the little guy like this, the American Crane also surrendered directly, lowered his body a little, and let Alex hug him.
The two American cranes were pulled out by Alex's wings, curious about the new environment outside, but not too nervous.
Before Liu Heming could take a closer look at these two long legs, a gust of wind came not far from them, and some grass clippings flew around.
"Selin, if you dare to land like this next time, I'll pluck your hair and stew it. Liu Heming shouted very depressedly.
The only one who can cause such a scene is Serin. The dot is the first display in the pasture, so Selin is the well-deserved second display. People who have daughters-in-law and babies are not stable at all.
For Liu Heming's threat of no oil and water, where would Selin care. Twisting and twisting, it walked over here, and it also wanted to see what these two long legs were doing, they were taller than themselves.
Selin's birth also aroused Dick's interest, he was not small, and he could walk leisurely, which seemed to be a bit abnormal.
"Selin, what have you been up to lately, I didn't see you last time I visited. "Alfred knew Selin very well, and he just hugged it in his arms.
"Haha, Selin's children have grown so tall, so heavy, they can't hold it anymore. Jenny was also polite, and directly picked up Selin's two babies.
In the past, they could hug each other at one time, but now they really can't do it, and people's small bodies develop too fast.
Selin grunted twice in his throat, said hello to Alfred, and then leaned over to the two cranes.
It's just that after coming to the front and looking at it, he twisted his body and walked to the side, looking at the two American cranes with some disgust.
"Oh my God, what is it thinking?" Dick couldn't stand it anymore.
"What else can I think of, it has always felt that it is the tallest bird in the pasture, and now it can't compare to the American crane. Liu Heming said angrily.
Selin was indeed dissatisfied, and then spread his wings and flapped them twice, trying to win with his big wings.
It's just that it miscalculated again, are people afraid of the American crane? People not only have long legs, but also big wings. You can fan, but we can't fan? Not only can we fan, but we are also very elegant.
Selin VS American Crane, two rounds, complete defeat.
"You're not a species, what's the comparison with others? Usually learn from the peregrine falcon and don't show off too often. Liu Heming touched Serin's neck and said.
He was wondering if the resentment between Selin and the peregrine falcon was something that this thing took the initiative to provoke, which was something that could not be prepared.
Alex took the two baby American cranes out of the box, and the two little ones didn't know what to think, and after a little walk on the ground, they ran to Selin's feet, and drilled back and forth in their furry "trouser legs".
Selin is happy, we are still popular.
Liu Heming shook his head helplessly and grabbed the two little guys out again. If Selin is allowed to live with them, he will be guaranteed to be two rogue cranes in the future.
"By the way, do you have time to go over and have a look?" Liu Heming asked again, looking at Alfred.
"Try to squeeze in as much time as possible. Alfred thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, if you go, come with us by plane, there are many planes in the ranch now, and Haya and Havard's planes are all there. Liu Heming nodded happily.
The Kentucky Derby was the starting point for Diandian's true dominance of the horse world, and he hopes that more of his friends will be able to come and watch it.
