Chapter 24: The Tiger Garden
After everything was busy, Qin Yan left the hill and returned to the car, with a happy smile on his face, as if he had come back from a trip.
This time, Yuan Lu is completely convinced, there are many people who can conquer tigers, there are tiger reservation projects in the circus, and there are also people in the Middle East who raise such fierce beasts, in their hands, the fierce tiger is as obedient as a big cat, but most of them are domesticated from a young age, and stay with the animal tamer for a long time, which can form that effect.
Not to mention that these Siberian tigers in the base have been trained in the wild, and they don't listen to people's commands, just say how long Qin Yan has been with them, they can form this effect, it's amazing.
Qin Yan handed the scanner in his hand and said, "That's it, it's not very simple." ”
Yuan Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "This time the base invited you to come, not just for this, such a problem, with the base can also be solved, but it is just a little more difficult, the reason why I invited you to come over, the main purpose is to use your ability to comb the Siberian tigers in the base and see their health." ”
Qin Yan suddenly said, so it was, he said that since the Siberian tiger breeding and conservation base dares to raise so many Siberian tigers and carry out free-range breeding, this problem is just a little more difficult, pay a little price, and still be able to find out the reason, why something happened and asked him to come over, it turned out that there was something else.
"Of course, it's all about protecting Siberian tigers. ”
The two sides agreed, Yuan Lu went back to find someone, this matter was just raised by Huang Yunkai at the beginning, they didn't believe that Qin Yan had this kind of skill, he could get close to the Siberian Tiger, and promised to find Qin Yan, more respecting his opinion and not wanting to refute it.
As for the problem of finding the free-range area, it is just a test, looking at Qin Yan's ability.
Combing through the Siberian tigers in the free-range area and understanding their health, the base has long wanted to do it, but it is afraid to do it, and it can't do it.
Siberian tigers are not cats and dogs, they can be played with casually, each of them has the ability to easily kill humans, how can it be so easy without harming Siberian tigers.
Now that he sees that Qin Yan can indeed get close to the Siberian Tiger, he must go back and tell the leader, hold a meeting to discuss, and come up with a complete opinion before proceeding.
Early the next morning, the base was busy, preparing to comb the Siberian tigers in the free-range area and check their physical condition.
Qin Yan first followed the instructions to introduce the two fierce tigers in the Tiger King District into cages and temporarily lock them up, and the Tiger King District was used as a temporary location to house the tigers.
Then the tigers in the free-range area were drawn out head by head, led to the junction of the free-range area and the tiger king area, and handed over the tigers to the staff of the base, so that they could check the physical condition of the Siberian tigers, and summarize them for making a file.
At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the emotional changes of the tiger at all times to prevent problems and outbursts and injuries.
It is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, there are hundreds of tigers in the free-range area, and it is not easy to lead them out one by one, accompany the tigers to check their physical condition, always pay attention to the situation of the tigers, and cooperate with the staff.
It took seven or eight days of work in a row to complete, which made Qin Yan very tired.
But after seven or eight days of working together, he also formed a deep friendship with the staff of the base, and when the work was completed, Qin Yan wandered around the base without anyone stopping him.
Although the main purpose of the Siberian tiger breeding and conservation base is to protect the Siberian tiger, since the tiger is used to raise tigers, it is expected that the Siberian tiger will create benefits and feed itself.
What's more important is the zoo, there is a tiger park covering an area of up to 360,000 square meters, scattered with dozens of wild tigers, in addition to a series of tourist areas such as the tiger cub garden and the science museum.
If it were someone else, even the breeder would not dare to walk in at will to prevent being bitten by a tiger, Qin Yan did not have this concern, and the keeper did not stop him when he saw him, and let him in.
Soon Qin Yan met several jaguars, the jaguar, also known as the jaguar, is the third largest cat in existence, the pattern on its body is more like a leopard, it looks no different from a leopard from a distance, but the shape of the whole body is closer to a tiger, like a tiger wearing leopard skin, the bite force reaches a terrifying 1250 pounds, if a person is bitten by it, which bite is broken, absolutely not negotiable.
However, in Qin Yan's hands, whether it is a jaguar or an African lion, it is no different from an obedient pet.
The jaguar here is one of the rare species, the black jaguar, even though there are very few in the world.
Then Qin Yan encountered several more white tigers.
The white tiger is a mythical beast in ancient myths and legends, and one of the four elephants in traditional culture.
Since the pre-Qin era, it is a sacred beast representing Shaohao and the Seven Houses of the West, and to the rise of the Five Elements Doctrine in the Han Dynasty, its symbolic meaning is more Gengxin and autumn, the four elephants are combined in the five elements, one of the five beasts in "Huainanzi", that is, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the Xuanwu, the yellow dragon, also known as the five beasts of Tianguan.
The so-called Twenty-eight Western Seven Houses (Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, Ginseng), its image of the tiger, located in the west, belongs to gold, the main war, the army, the color is white, the name is the white tiger.
Of course, that's just myth and legend.
The true white tiger refers to the "albino Bengal tiger", a white variant of the Bengal tiger that is not an albino individual due to genetic alteration and long-term natural selection.
The eyes are blue instead of the red of albiko, and the stripes on the body are dark gray instead of black.
The first wild Bengal white tiger was discovered and captured in India in 1951 and was named "Mohan".
The hundreds of white tigers that exist in the world are all its descendants.
The white tiger is very rare, due to the lack of protective color, the white tiger is difficult to survive in nature, it is extinct in the wild, only in the zoo, he did not expect to meet here.
The color of the white tiger is very simple, it is simple white and black stripes, it looks like a different kind of beauty, and the purebred Bengal tiger walks together, one is yellow and black stripes, and the other is white and black stripes, which is recognizable at a glance.
What surprised him even more was the discovery of a snow tiger.
The Snow Tiger is the result of further genetic variation in the White Tiger, the silvery-white variant of the Bengal Tiger.
It is a rare tiger species with pure white fur all over its body, and because of its snow-white body, it is very different from ordinary Bengal tigers and is vulnerable to attack.
The body is beautiful, except for the tail and legs, there is a little brown color, almost the whole body is snow-white, and it looks graceful and noble.
The coat color of the snow tiger is whiter than that of the white tiger, and the stripes are not obvious. At present, there are only seven zoos in China. It can be described as flawless and flawless.
It's not time yet, if it's winter, and the snow is falling, and you can't find a shadow of it at all.
Snow Tiger and White Tiger are together, this is the closest group to it, but the relationship is still not very harmonious, and it is often bullied by White Tiger, when Qin Yan saw it, Snow Tiger was far away from the group, staying alone.
Seeing Qin Yan passing, Snow Tiger's instinct was not to attack, but to take two steps back, and even had the intention of escaping, which can be seen that it is often attacked by tigers and has developed a habit of being timid.
Qin Yan rubbed its head vigorously, and when it got used to it, he used nourishment techniques on it to make its body stronger and its life better.
It happened that a breeder came to feed it, Qin Yan asked for a piece of meat for Snow Tiger, but when he looked up, he saw that they did not put the food on the ground to feed the tiger, but put it on the boat, Qin Yan was surprised in his heart, and went over and asked, "Man, what are you doing here, aren't you feeding?"
"You'll find out later, come up together, I'll take you there." ”
Qin Yan was puzzled, but he still said goodbye to the white tiger and got on the boat, where he found that the food brought by the breeder was only a little meat, most of which were ducks, or the living kind.
When they reached the deep water, live ducks were thrown into the water. Smelling the smell of tigers in the distance, a flock of ducks quacked in fright, swimming indiscriminately in the deep water, but they didn't dare to go ashore.
But this is useless, there is no escape from the fate of death, the tiger has long noticed the situation here, quickly swam into the water, chasing the duck to bite. Watching them swim across the water is a different feeling.
Qin Yan really didn't know, it turned out that Siberian tigers could also swim.
