Professor Wang withdrew his gaze, picked up a stick and supported himself to keep up with Wen Wanwan's footsteps.

Xi Liang smacked his lips with some pity, and after turning his head to look at it again, he followed at the end of the line.

This thing is not a protected animal, if the conditions allow, he really wants to make a snake soup.

The taste can be said to be unforgettable after eating it once.

Someone joked that there are as many snakes as there are fungi in this place.

Xi Liang has been a soldier here for so long, from the first time he was difficult to accept, to the current obsession, I don't know how many snakes have suffered from its poisonous hands.

But now obviously there is no such condition to make snake soup, this thing wants to be delicious, at least a few hours, the team can't wait so long here for a bite to eat.

The road in the morning became more and more difficult, and many people in the huge team had already drunk their kettles, so they could only grit their teeth and choose to persevere.

After what happened to Zhu Yeqing just now, everyone has become cautious now.

Although most snakes are non-venomous, or the fatality rate is not high, if they are bitten, they must be ready to call for help and send them to the hospital.

It's been so far that no one wants to go back now.

Wen Wanwan wiped the sweat from her head, picked up the multi-functional military shovel and split the bushes in front of her.

Time is like the long shirt on Kong Yiji's body, which always disappears unconsciously.

In the blink of an eye, a morning had passed, and the team finally stopped in a small cool valley.

"Everyone rests, prepare lunch, and look for traces of green peacocks nearby!"

The familiar scene reappeared, only this time most of the people moved, little by little, probing for possible traces of green peacocks nearby.

Wen Wanwan was not idle, and searched nearby with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The feathers of the green peacock were found here!"

"Find the green peacock's excrement!"

"I should have had a fight, it's so hairy!"

As the voices continued to come out, a large number of clues had been found in just ten minutes.

Wen Wanwan heard the voice and went directly to the scene of the crime.

Looking at the soaked feathers by the stream, Wen Wanwan's eyes were also filled with excitement.

"This should be the scene of a fight in estrus, and if we're lucky, we should be able to see the little peacock this time."

After watching the scene for a while, Wen Wanwan quickly decided.

By the way, I also explained it to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The breeding season of green peafowl is from March to June, but courtship usually occurs in late February."

"The number of females in a green peafowl population is usually small, and two males often fight for mating rights during the estrus season."

"The number of eggs laid by the blue peacock female is about 40 a year, and the hatching rate is about 80% in the case of artificial incubation, but there are only 20 green peacocks, and even in the state of artificial incubation, a nest of green peacock eggs can only hatch two or three small peacocks at most a year."

"In addition, the green peafowl has extremely high environmental requirements, and even if it is successfully hatched, it may not survive."

Stone and Wine: [I still don't understand that green peacocks are really so precious, don't I see a lot of zoos?] 】

There is a star tonight: [Why spend so much manpower and material resources to find the green peacock? 】

You Chunxiao: [There are more than ten peacocks in the zoo next door to my house, and I see that the above introduction is all green peacocks! 】

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan was silent for a long time, and then sighed with some regret.

"In fact, the green peafowl that most people see in the zoo is no longer a green peafowl, it is the product of genetic contamination."

"There was only one kind of peacock in China, but with the establishment of a large number of zoos, many people have introduced blue peacocks, after all, compared with the scarce number of green peafowl, blue peacocks are easier to find and raise."

"At that time, the planning of zoos in China was still in its infancy, and many people did not understand genetic contamination and the dangers of hybridization."

"In addition, some zoos have found that after the mating of green peacocks and blue peacocks, they can effectively improve the hatching rate, resulting in the basic disappearance of purebred green peacocks in China in just five years."

"All the green peafowl we see now are varieties that have been crossed over generations, and although they are also called green peafowls, they are no longer purebred."

Wen Wanwan's popular science voice made many people in the scientific expedition group have a touch of sadness on their faces.

"The peacock has a self-pity golden green tail, near the water, and the pedestrians can't be surprised."

"The more youthful and good colors, Qingxuan enters the house to see the clothes."

"Many ancient poems in our country depict the beauty of peacocks, and they are all green peacocks."

Professor Wang moved his lips and finally sighed: "Evening, can you let me say a few words?" ”

Looking at the professor's eyes full of sadness and helplessness, Wen Wanwan took the radio equipment off her collar without the slightest hesitation and handed it over.

Professor Wang brought Mike to his lips and introduced it to the audience in the live broadcast room with a little heaviness.

"In fact, purebred green peafowl in China are extremely rare, and most of them are already hybrids that have been genetically contaminated."

"The purpose of our scientific expedition is also to find purebred green peafowl for artificial intervention and breeding."

"You may think that the blue peacock is beautiful, and the hybrid species will look beautiful, but if it is a purebred green peacock, it is a beauty that cannot be described in words."

"The most appropriate word should be immortal."

"Comparing the green peacock with the blue peacock is like putting the phoenix and the domestic chicken together, there is no comparison at all."

"If we can find more than 30 green peafowl this time, we can apply to distinguish between purebred green peafowl and hybrid green peafowl separately."

"Only by making a distinction and relying on the current protection rules can we effectively prevent the continuation of genetic contamination."

……

Each expedition has a different mission, and it is not a simple matter of finding animals.

For example, the scientific expedition team organized by Professor Wang found the green peafowl and found a way to transport them out and establish a reserve for artificial intervention and breeding.

After that, many reports and studies will be submitted for targeted protection.

For green peafowl, protection is not only about its population, but also about how to effectively avoid genetic contamination.

Only by ensuring that the population is not invaded by alien species can the beauty of the green peafowl continue.

Professor Wang quickly returned the radio equipment, and the barrage in the live broadcast room became even more turbulent at this time.
