Chapter 844: Teach the stupid cheetah
Bi Fang quickly finished pulling the white rice, packed up the cutlery and handed it to the recycling office, and rushed out of the restaurant and onto the main road.
Fortunately, as a tourist area, there are many taxis, and Bi Fang took a ride before the surrounding fans recognized him, and then quickly rushed to the headquarters of Wolf Fang.
Liu Qian didn't say much on the other end of the phone, but just roughly described the whole thing.
I only know that it was the people from the Kenya Animal Rescue Center who found Bi Fang, not because they encountered any difficulties, but because there was a special thing that they wanted Bi Fang to get involved.
I didn't say anything specific, I just said that it was related to cheetahs.
If you want to know more about the process, it's better to talk to you in person.
There are many animal conservation centres in the African savannah, but none of the most famous and largest are the Kenya Animal Conservation Centre.
Known as the "Cradle of Mankind", human skulls dating back more than 2.5 million years have been excavated.
In order to protect the continuation and diversity of species, the reserve has been completely banned from hunting, and has become a natural paradise favored and protected by tourists and non-profit organizations from all over the world.
The center has done many remarkable things, perhaps the most famous of which is the protection of the world's last male white rhinoceros.
On March 20, 18, China time, the last male northern white rhinoceros on the earth, the Sultan, was euthanized by doctors in Kenya.
At one time, it was the most famous rhino in the world and the last male northern white rhino in the world.
In order to protect it, the Kenya Conservation Center has artificially sawed off its rhino horns, and has sent a team of 40 people with guns to guard it 24 hours a day to prevent poachers, as well as the world's best veterinary animal experts.
For the white rhinoceros, death is relief.
But for humans, we can only watch another species go extinct.
In just 40 years, the world has lost 90% of its rhinos, and more than 1,000 are poached and killed each year. All this is nothing more than people's passion for rhino horn.
The male white rhinoceros "Sultan" carries the last hope of the entire northern white rhino population.
But with its departure, the population is left with only a mother and daughter who are unable to have children naturally.
But in just 100 years, a species that has lived on Earth for 50 million years has gone extinct.
You must know that in 1973, when the "Sultan" was born, there were still 1,000 of his kind in the entire African savannah, and more than a decade ago, the number was even larger.
They are extremely kind-tempered, do not bully the weak, do not challenge elephants in idleness, and are not as withdrawn as other rhinos, often moving in groups of one or twenty heads.
Unfortunately, in the last decades, the Sultan was only a rhinoceros, accompanied by dozens of armed soldiers.
In addition, there are many similar things, even fighting with poachers.
If you draw a red dot map of poaching in the world, you will find that there are several places that are almost completely red, and they are almost all concentrated in Africa.
It's a paradise for animals, but it also attracts a large number of flies.
Poaching in Kenya peaked in 12 years, with more than 33,000 elephants killed each year from 10 to 12 years, the equivalent of one elephant dying every 20 minutes.
Poaching has declined dramatically since then, but the problem surrounding illegal hunting remains.
Paradise for animals.
Elephants, black rhinos, lions, cheetahs, wildebeests, Nile crocodiles.
Bi Fang has always wanted to witness it with his own eyes, but he has never found a good opportunity.
Although there was a grassland area in the last Sahara crossing, it was just a small and narrow green belt between deserts, not an African savannah in the whole sense.
Therefore, when he heard that someone from Kenya had come to him, Bi Fang was naturally a little excited.
It's been almost two months since the last live broadcast, and if you have a good chance, it's best to go straight to the African savannah.
When they met, Bi Fang was a little surprised, because the Kenya Wildlife Rescue Center was actually an Asian, not tall, wearing glasses, and a bookish anger.
But the accident was unexpected, but it wasn't a surprise.
After all, Kenya's protected areas are so famous, and there is a lot of pressure to protect animals, and people from all over the world have been donating money to help.
Veterans or animal protectionists from many countries will choose to come here to protect animals, and it is not surprising that there are Chinese people.
Seeing Bi Fang push the door in, the man stepped forward to shake hands for the first time, and introduced himself excitedly.
"Fang Shen! I have admired the name for a long time, I am Chu Zhaohua."
"Hello."
Bi Fang nodded, and then pulled Chu Zhaohua to sit down on the sofa beside him.
"Let's get straight to the point, I'd like to hear a little more detail about what you said."
"Of course, that's what I'm here for." Chu Zhaohua smiled heartily.
It was already late, Wang Yongbo had already gone home, and only Liu Qian sat aside as an intermediary.
The three of them sat in the living room, and Chu Zhaohua began to explain the whole thing in detail.
The crux of the matter lies in a cheetah.
At the beginning of last year, the staff of the Kenya Zoo Rescue Center were patrolling the African savannah as usual when they heard a "meow" as usual.
If you are an ordinary person, you may think that this is where the kitten barks from, but these people who have worked in Kenya can immediately hear that it is the cry of a cheetah.
Yes, cheetahs are almost identical to cats, and the sound they make is more like a shrill chirp or bubble, or even more childish than a cat's meow.
Compared to their image, it is really a bit inconsistent.
Just as the bald sea withering of the ugly country will make a squeak and quack, the domineering eagle chirp is all matched by the red tail.
Just when the two staff members thought they would catch a glimpse of the cheetah, they only saw a piece of flesh that had been skinned and had already been covered with flies.
Beside the flesh-colored flesh, there was only a little cheetah that had just made a sound and was screaming in milk.
There are no predators, and they will completely strip the prey of its prey on its entire fur while hunting.
It's clear who started the matter.
The flies on the corpse also indicate that the other party has already fled.
It was obvious that it was impossible for a newborn cheetah to survive alone in the cruel African savannah, so the staff naturally brought it back to the rescue center and raised it.
Bi Fang noticed the key words: "What happened last year, and now there is a year, right?"
"Not only that, we found it last spring, and now it's eighteen months old, so it's an adult."
Bi Fang nodded.
The life cycle of a cheetah can be divided into three stages: from birth to 18 months for cubs, 18 to 24 months for sub-adulthood, and for adulthood after 24 months.
"Because it's an adult, we're going to release it into the wild, but now there's a problem, and that's that this cheetah can't hunt at all."
"Can't hunt?"
Bi Fang raised his eyebrows, a little strange.
Chu Zhaohua nodded helplessly: "That's right, this guy has grown into a "giant baby" in the rescue center, and he can't do anything except stick to the staff every day, unless he keeps raising it, otherwise his final destination is only the zoo, but this is what we don't want to see, and the leopard itself is the most unsuitable for the zoo among the felines."
Cheetah baby cheetahs generally weigh 240 to 300 grams, and they will not climb until two to three days after birth, their eyes will not open until four to fourteen days later, they will start feeding after twenty-one to twenty-eight days, and they will start weaning after two months.
After nine to ten months, the female cheetah begins to reach sexual maturity.
Male cheetahs generally take fourteen months to reach sexual maturity, so baby cheetahs are born after the initially
For several months, female cheetahs usually hide their baby cheetahs in the grass.
The cheetah is weaned after three months, and the weaned cheetah still follows its mother.
At this time, it learned from its mother those skills of hunting, of life, of escaping predators.
It is not until 1 to 1/2 years old that the cheetah cub begins to live independently, usually the male cheetah begins to live independently, and the female cheetah may still stay with her mother.
Generally, baby cheetahs do not begin to hunt independently until they are 1 year old.
It is obvious from Chu Zhaohua's words that after this cheetah lost its mother, it did not learn the skills of hunting at all.
Contrary to what many people think, many cats are not born with the ability to hunt.
Chu Zhaohua's eyes are earnest: "All our goals are to enable wild animals to live freely in the wild without being threatened by humans."
Bi Fang guessed the other party's purpose: "So what you are looking for me for?"
"We want you to retrain Harley so that he learns to adapt to life in the wild and learn to become a real cheetah!"
Bi Fang didn't answer directly, but asked, "Harley, is the name of the cheetah?" Is it a boy?"
"That's right", Chu Zhaohua sighed, "In fact, it's not the first time we've rescued a wild animal cub, and then released it after it can live on its own, our staff often teach them to hunt in person, most of the animals are very talented, and they can be proficient after a few times, but Harley is obviously relatively stupid, and our general methods don't work."
Of course, it is impossible for humans to hunt like felines, and it is quite rough when taught.
But in view of the talent of animals, even if they have not been taught by their mothers, they can easily master this ability after seeing the form a few times.
Harley is one of the worst of the animals, and needs a more advanced teacher.
"So you chose me?"
"Yes." Chu Zhaohua smiled, "Although there is some suspicion of sycophancy, but I have watched your live broadcast, and I admire what you have done, the most important thing is that your hunting is simply art, I have only seen such an efficient and charming hunting on Menghu's body!"
"Yes, it's really glamorous, it's a violent aesthetic, especially the flow of muscles, it's pleasing to the eye, every time I think of a tiger or a lion." Liu Qian on the side also opened her mouth to praise.
"Exaggeration."
Bi Fang was a little proud in his heart, but he said modest words on his lips.
However, he also had some doubts about Chu Zhaohua's words, and it remains to be seen whether Harley is a bad student.
Compared with the fact that a feline is a poor child, Bi Fang prefers to believe that this is the Kenya Animal Protection Center, which wants to continue his reputation this time and come to the last joint promotion.
Such speculation is not that Bi Fang is cheeky.
It's that his fame is really so big now, with a stable flow of tens of millions of fans at the peak, and more than 300 million fans worldwide, these are all proofs of strength.
Much stronger than some so-called international superstars.
Bifang's wilderness club is also internationally famous, and a large number of foreigners come here every day to try their luck and see if they can meet Bifang.
Whether you really need help or want to jointly publicize, Bi Fang itself will not refuse.
The latter is considered to be a good deed, after all, the Kenya Conservation Center has indeed done a lot of practical things, and Bi Fang is happy to be needed.
Something that benefits without expense.
For both parties, it is also a process of mutual achievement.
Therefore, Bi Fang did not hesitate so much, and after a simple thought, he agreed to Chu Zhaohua's request on the spot.
It's not a cooperation of interests, it's just a mutual benefit, there are no contractual requirements, and you don't have to be too careful.
"Thank you so much!"
With Bi Fang's consent on the spot, Chu Zhaohua couldn't help but be overjoyed, his face flushed slightly, he held Bi Fang's hand with both hands, and clenched it tightly, "Fang Shen ate too late
Have you eaten yet? If not, please be sure to appreciate my face and let me be the east, you can pick the location, you don't have to be polite."
"It's because you're too polite, but it's not a coincidence, and I just got a call after dinner, and I took a taxi to come over, and it's also my dream to go to the African savannah to have a look."
Hearing this, Chu Zhaohua was also a little ashamed: "Actually, I also wanted to contact Fang Shen earlier, but unfortunately the plane was a little late, and I was in a hurry, so I came to the door as soon as I got off the plane, I'm really sorry, in this way, after going to Kenya, I will definitely be the east, and Fang Shen must not refuse at that time."
"No problem, when I get to Kenya, I want to try the local food."
"It will."
Chu Zhaohua's face was solemn, as if he regarded this matter as some major agreement, but he was a little embarrassed.
After some greetings, Chu Zhaohua left the living room.
Seeing this, Liu Qian stepped forward and asked, "Then I'll go and help formulate this publicity plan?"
"Well, it's settled, and the next live broadcast will go to the African savannah."
The Kenya Conservation Center didn't just let Bi Fang train a leopard and leave, if you want to make things interesting, of course, you have to combine it with the savannah.
So the goal this time is to let Bi Fang survive on the prairie while teaching Harley to hunt, which will become the theme of a live broadcast.
After leaving the wolf's teeth, Bi Fang casually searched for Chu Zhaohua on the Internet, but he didn't know if he didn't search, and he was really a little surprised when he searched.
This young man who looks like he is only in his twenties actually has a wonderful past, and can even be said to be a little celebrity.
