When it was time for dinner in the evening, Juan met several zoologists in Miles's mouth, a couple and three old men, a total of five years old, all of them had beards, big pants on their lower bodies, short-sleeved clothes with pockets on their upper bodies, and white hats on their heads, which were similar to the steel helmets seen on TV during the British colonial period, but they were just white.

Miles introduced a few zoologists to Ju An, Ju An shook hands with them one by one and greeted them for a while, and then it was next to the table, a black woman helped everyone serve the food, seven people ate dinner around the table, a very simple bread accompanied by a few slices of lettuce, pork chops and an omelette, several zoologists at the dinner table talked about today's discovery, Ju An and Miles listened with ears next to them.

The white-bearded Makar tore the bread and soaked it in the soup: "The Xidi lions are facing the replacement of the lion king during this time, the old lion king is not good, and now two new prime-aged male lions on the periphery of the territory are eyeing their territory, it is estimated that the seizure of power is a few days, after eating, Elsa and I will go to observe again, I don't want to miss the footage of the lion king's competition, Mark and others will bring the starlight camera with us, we may not be back until late tonight."

Hearing that the old man was going to see the lions at night, and that it was very likely that the lions would change owners, Miles said: "I hope it's not at night, it looks blurry when it's dark, if you can clearly see a few male lions fighting during the day."

George, who had a white beard, replied: "Don't worry, Miles, two stray male lions only targeted the lion pack yesterday, and it is estimated that the old lion king will be observed for two days, and Makar is also afraid that if he encounters two impulsive male lions, it is one of the three children of Datan that I studied died today, and Datan was a little careless and was stolen by a hyena."

Old George's words made Ju An confused, and his brows furrowed, in the end, the woman is very careful, Elsa saw Ju An's expression and explained: "George has been studying a female leopard that has just given birth to a litter of cubs in the past two days, and it is very difficult to find these leopards, so Old George is very excited during this time."

As soon as he heard that it was a leopard cub, Ju'an said to old George: "The place where I found it is far away, I also want to follow you to see the baby leopard."

Old George nodded and said with a smile: "If you want to go tomorrow morning, come with us, but this depends on luck, the leopard hides the child, and may not be able to see the little one, but we will set off very early, can you get up."

After hearing this, Ju An nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, you can call me when you set off tomorrow morning, by the way, Miles, do you want to go and have a look together, or do you go hunting directly?" ”。

Miles swallowed the pork in his mouth: "Look at the leopard and the hunting without interfering, but everyone can bring a shotgun and see that there is an impala, or a pheasant or something."

Juan nodded after listening to Miles' words, and continued to listen to the chat of several old men, Harry, who had a white goatee, said: "There may be heavy rain in two days, and the wildebeest herd will pass by the territory of the lions, and then you can go and see the scene of the lions preying on the wildebeest."

"How many lions are there in this reserve?" Ju asked after a pause.

Makar said: "There are six lion packs, and there are many wandering male lions on the periphery of the lion pack, a total of more than 100 lions, we are relatively close to the Kruger National Park, there are also many lion groups, and some stray lions will also come here, you guys are so lucky to come this time, George just found a leopard with cubs, and it is not easy to see these guys."

After hearing this, Miles patted Ju An on the shoulder: "This dude's luck has always been good." As he spoke, he told Ju'an about some of Ju'an's great achievements in catching cattle and buying naughty bags.

After the meal, Makar left the table, and several old men discussed preparing to put a starlight camera on the car, Ju An had heard of this kind of camera for the first time, and followed out curiously, and when he walked out of the house, he saw three cheetahs lazily lying on their stomachs in the courtyard of the wooden fence, and they were not afraid of seeing Ju An and Miles come out, and they looked up and looked away.

Ju An looked at the three cheetahs and said, "Why did the cheetah run into the yard, they are not afraid of people at all."

Elsa said with a smile: "These three little guys are adopted by us, basically do not leave the house, except for sometimes follow a few of us out, we have adopted a lot of small animals here, including hippos, small rhinoceros, small wildebeest and deer, but these have grown up and left, only these three remained, they are more homesick." After saying that, he stepped forward and touched the head of one of them. The cheetah squinted and seemed to enjoy Elsa's petting.

At this time, the other cheetah stood up and walked to Elsa's feet and looked up at Elsa. When the cheetah stood up, Ju An saw this big African cat, the head was very small compared with the body, the legs were very long, the chest and the stomach were so big that the stomach suddenly shrank, and in just a few steps, Ju An felt the elegance of the cheetah, and he held his head high without hurry, just like a catwalk supermodel.

The cheetah that stood up walked to Elsa's feet and lay down lazily, Miles walked forward at this time and rubbed it according to the head of one of the cheetahs, and then turned his head to Juan and said with a smile: "These three guys are good helpers for hunting, and they are easy to domesticate and catch prey, just give them a little minced meat, don't hunt dogs are easy to use, there are African tribes raising cheetahs to hunt earlier."

Ju An walked to the side of the three cheetahs and just wanted to stretch out his hand, the cheetah sniffed at Ju An's palm, and then reached out and licked Ju An's hand, his ears shrank to the back of his head and squinted, Miles saw this situation and said: "It likes you, I haven't seen this treatment a few times, and you are so affectionate to you when you first met."

Elsa smiled and said, "Animals can feel the friendliness of people, probably because they think Ann is much friendlier than you, and they don't have the murderous aura of hunting that you often carry."

Ju An touched the plush leopard's head, felt the guy's wet rough tongue from time to time, and watched George put a camera on the car and fix it, there was a shelf on the roof of the car near the sunroof, and the camera was directly added to the shelf, so that the car stopped and people could stick their bodies out of the sunroof to shoot, and when Mark moved the camera out, Elsa walked quickly to the jeep, leaving Juan and Miles to stay next to the three cheetahs.

Ju An pointed to the camera and asked, "What kind of starlight camera does this look no different from other cameras?"

"More than ten times more expensive than the different ones! Ordinary cameras can not be used at night, even with a light, the range is very limited, and you can't shoot anything from a distance, starlight cameras and thermal imaging cameras do not have this problem, but the thermal imaging shoots things one by one, not as good as starlight, this camera is basically in the sky, if there is moonlight or starlight in the sky, the effect is similar to that of the evening, and it is easy to see the situation of animals," Myers explained.

Relying on Ju An, he secretly sighed in his heart, looking at the tool of other people's private research: "Your private reserve will cost you a lot of money every year."

Myers smiled and said, "Now we have to invest no less than $300,000 a year, and if you're interested, you can put in some money, or even buy shares."

Ju An said with a smile: "I don't have much money to invest in this conservation center now, my money is basically spent on my new house and horse farm, but I can squeeze out 100,000 yuan." Looking at the surrounding scenery, it is completely different from your own ranch, which is good if you can have a hunting ground here, and you can also bring your family on vacation.

After hearing this, Miles smiled and said: "That's very good, my two partners don't want to invest money in this anymore, and with your investment, we can improve the conditions here."

"The conditions here are very good, what else do you need to improve?" Ju An asked puzzled.

Miles shrugged his shoulders: "Do you think it's empty for such a big house with only a dozen people?" ”。

Ju An nodded after hearing this: "You don't say that I really don't feel anything, what you say is really empty."

"I was going to hire some more people this year, poaching is very serious here in Africa, elephants and rhinos and lions are all vulnerable to poachers, and in recent years, the United States has been in a slump, and my two friends have encountered difficulties in business, and they invest less and less every year, and they can't afford to hire more people to patrol here, so this time I not only took you to hunt, but also thought that you could invest some money to come in, at least hire more people," Myers said.

"I see, I said why did you invite me to hunt so warmly, you let me shoot me down and lose 100,000 dollars, it's too expensive" Juan curled his finger and poked at Miles.

Miles pushed away Ju An's hand and said, "Even if you don't pay for it, it's nothing, I brought you to hunt because of a friend's invitation."

"Okay, I know, but this time you must let me have a good time, if not, my 100,000 will be gone," Juan interrupted Miles and said with a smile.

"Then it's on me, tomorrow we will go to see the leopard cubs in the morning, and go to see the lions in the afternoon, according to your luck, you may be able to see the lions change leaders, and the activities of the day after tomorrow will be arranged by you, you have the final say, okay" Miles said happily.

Ju An nodded: "That's good, but pick a good gun for me tonight, and then hunt a little harder."

"In addition to not being able to shoot leopards and lions, rhinos, elephants or whatever, the rest of the gazelles, impalas, wildebeests or other random shots, and hunting prey can also help you make specimens and transport them back to the United States, what do you think? I'm sure you'll think it's worth a hundred thousand flowers," Miles boasted.
