Chapter 409: Lion

Just as the deer was leaving, Chu Jiaqiang turned his head suddenly, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes. レspades; A male lion landed in Chu Jiaqiang's eyes, and at this time, he was running wildly in the direction where the deer left. It seems that this male lion has been lurking for a long time, and Chu Jiaqiang didn't notice it just now.

Because the lion ran over, the originally peaceful picture was immediately disrupted, and the animals on the grassland began to run wildly. The little deer ran very fast because Chu Jiaqiang had lost a lot of aura to it just now, and it didn't take long for it to return to its own group and migrate with the large army.

Expert Wang waited for him to enter, but he didn't react yet. When they saw Chu Jiaqiang's look when he turned his head, they thought something had happened, and they also looked back. That scene directly shocked them, and they were speechless for a while.

"How can there be lions in Asia?" Chu Jiaqiang didn't know much about the distribution of lions, and it was really surprising to see lions here.

In fact, it is not that there are no lions in Asia, but there are too few of them. Prior to this, only India had sporadic lions, known as Asiatic lions.

The Asiatic lion is a close relative of the African lion, which separated from the African lion about 100,000 years ago and has historically roamed vast lands from Greece to India. At the beginning of the 21st century, wild Asiatic lions lived mainly in India, with only 250,350 individuals worldwide, so the IUCN listed them as critically endangered. In China, lions have never been seen.

"Why don't there be lions in Asia, there are both South Asia and West Asia. Once upon a time, the lion was a symbol of royal power in India and the two river basins, representing nobility and power. Expert Wang quickly explained two sentences, and then observed the lion again.

Expert Chen grabbed the camera steadily and quickly left the case for the lion. If this breaks out, it will not be worse than the Chinese elephant, and there will definitely be another sensation outside. Perhaps, the dean who is far away in the stable will not be able to sit still and come over in person.

"It's great, it's incredible." The last, more silent expert couldn't help but speak.

The lion failed to catch the fawn, so he had to divert his focus and chase an old cow. The explosiveness of lions is as terrifying as that of tigers. I saw it fly over, jumped up, stepped directly on the old bison, and instantly bit the old cow's neck.

The old bison fell to the ground and rolled a few times. The lion bit it, and after a while, the old cow did not move. The lion opened his mouth, glanced at Chu Jiaqiang and waited, and then dragged the old cow away with his mouth, and did not attack the class.

Originally, Chu Jiaqiang had already tensed his body, and if the lion attacked, he would immediately counterattack. At this time, it doesn't matter if you protect animals or not. Teacher Liu is right, no matter how precious animals are, they are not as precious as they are in life.

When he saw that the lion had run away, he breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Jiaqiang was not afraid of lions, mainly considering the other three experts. It would be bad if the lion had targeted them. If they weren't there, the lion wouldn't have any power against the Chu family. With a single thought, he threw the lion into the mountains and rivers.

"Did you just shoot it?" Expert Wang hurriedly asked.

Expert Chen nodded, looking very happy. For them, the happiest thing is to see these rare animals and plants reappear in the eyes of the world.

"There are lions here, you are going to camp here for investigation, it doesn't seem very proper," Chu Jiaqiang frowned. What if the lion comes running and sneaks up at night? Just because they didn't attack just now doesn't mean they won't get hurt in the future.

However, the three experts didn't care at all. When I saw this lion, the thought of camping here became even heavier. Anyway, they weren't going anywhere, and for a while they were in this grassland, it was one task to find out the Chinese elephants, and the observation of Asian lions was another.

"What's wrong? Right here, it's going to be fine. Animals generally don't attack them, as long as we don't mess with them. "Expert Wang didn't listen to Chu Jiaqiang's words at all.

"You don't know, now the Asiatic lion is almost extinct. Although there are still two or three hundred in India, they are all descendants of 13 lions rescued by the prince, and they have formed a degraded race, and they are extremely susceptible to the influence of the disease gene, which will lead to the extinction of all of them. Expert Chen spoke.

It is said that more than a hundred years ago, the lion of India was almost exterminated, and only a dozen or so remained. A prince in India decided to protect the last remaining Asiatic lion by placing all 13 Asiatic lions in a royal forest, and then he personally intervened to buy 20 Asiatic lions from abroad and breed them with the only 13 remaining in the country, a feat that has allowed the species to survive to this day.

In addition, tuberculosis is enough to kill all Asiatic lions, and because there are so many villagers living near the forest, it is likely that the tuberculosis bacteria they carry will spread in the forest.

"As a rule of thumb, big cats such as lions are quite sensitive to tuberculosis bacteria, and if an Asiatic lion is infected after wandering around a village, the whole population will be in dire straits. At that time, it may be the time when the Asiatic lion will really go extinct. Expert Wang said to Chu Jiaqiang.

After another big while, the snow sculpture did not let in, and really arrived before the plane. Chu Jiaqiang took down a bag from under the claws of the snow sculpture, which contained batteries, and there was actually another camera. When I looked closely, I found that it was Li Quan's. Maybe the family is afraid that this battery is not enough, so I sent another camera by the way.

"Sure enough, it's still a snow sculpture." Expert Chen is still looking at the photos he took before, especially the dozens of lions taken in a row.

Chu Jiaqiang smiled, and after getting the camera, he began to look for scenic spots to shoot. However, this time he kept an eye on his surroundings and set aside some of his spirits to pay attention to his surroundings. When I looked at this grassland before, I thought it was very peaceful and a bad place, who knew that danger was often dressed in a peaceful coat.

When Chu Jiaqiang had filmed enough, the roar of a helicopter came from here. At this time, it was also close to dusk. When the helicopter stopped, everyone helped move the supplies from above.

"This is the meal, Dean Ding prepared for us." A pilot came down with some insulated boxes and said.

"It's still Ding Lao who is thoughtful, hehe, let's set up camp first, and then prepare to eat," Expert Wang said. After saying that, he asked the two pilots again to use the communication equipment.

This time, he was going to report the matter of the lion to the research institute for discussion and discussion.

Sure enough, I heard that there was a lion, but there was no sound on Ding Lao's side. After a while, there was again an urgent inquiry. Expert Wang explained to them for a long time.

During the meal, Chu Jiaqiang suggested that the two soldiers also stay here for one night, mainly for the safety of the three experts.

"I can't believe that there are lions here." The two readily agreed.
