The little thing was attracted by the forage in Wen Wanwan's hand, no matter how much he tossed it, as long as he didn't delay eating.

Wen Wanwan held the little guy in her arms, and then continued to popularize science to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Tarim rabbits are actually very few in the desert, and most of them are concentrated in places where the Lop Nur and Tarim rivers flood."

"However, unlike many rabbits, there is no subspecies differentiation of Tarim rabbits, they have lived in this area for generations, and they have never changed because of the environment."

"Speaking of Tarim rabbits, we have to mention the great famine a few decades ago."

"In response to that famine, most people at that time chose to rely on the natural environment for food."

"The Tarim rabbit once became the main food in southern Xinjiang with its firm meat and easy to catch."

"Tarim rabbits, which used to be distributed in Tarim with close to 10 million, have plummeted to 600,000 in just three years."

"And for a long time, the sense of protection was not very strong, and coupled with the rampant poachers, there are probably only 200,000 of this little thing left in the world now."

"But the figure of 200,000 is only speculation, and based on the observations of the counties and suburbs around the Tarim Basin, the number is only about 10,000."

"It seems like an inconspicuous little rabbit, but it fed hundreds of thousands of people in the era of the Great Famine."

"Now many old people in southern Xinjiang will feed them some food when they see this little thing, and thank them for giving them a chance to survive."

"It is for this reason that if you come to southern Xinjiang to travel and see this little guy, you might as well try to get close."

"Even if rabbits are timid by nature, most Tarim rabbits in southern Xinjiang have a great affection for humans."

It is also ironic to say that it is the reason why human beings have gone from the peak of the race to the endangered species that they are today.

But now this population has not perished, but thanks to the help of humans over the years.

However, an era has the limitations of an era, and Wen Wanwan has never experienced the great famine, so she is not qualified to judge whether this matter is right or wrong.

The setting can be said to let this group of little guys raise fat for nothing now, and strive to breed the number as soon as possible is the key.

In the biological chain in this area of Tarim, the Tarim rabbit occupies an extremely important link.

Even most of southern Xinjiang needs the presence of this little guy to ensure ecological balance.

Only when the number of Tarim rabbits is multiplied, and there is no shortage of carnivores to eat, will they increase their efforts to reproduce.

The little guy hid in Wen Wanwan's arms and ate a lot of forage, and then tilted his head and lay down comfortably.

Looking at the little thing's self-cooked appearance, the barrage in the entire live broadcast room suddenly boiled.

Nandu: [Laughing to death, how can there be such a fun rabbit!] 】

Missed the village: [This guy is really not afraid of people at all, and he is about to fall asleep!] 】

Xin Xiaoqi: [I really want to raise one, this little thing is too fun! ] 】

The barrage in the live broadcast room was boiling, and Wen Wanwan probably guessed why this little thing ran out on its own.

Rabbits are animals that spend most of their time with their mothers until two months.

But this little guy is not old enough to live alone, and there are only two possibilities.

Either its mother has had an accident that leaves it no longer able to raise her.

Either that or because of a shortage of food, a cub had to be abandoned.

Of these two possibilities, Wen Wanwan still prefers the second option.

After the examination just now, although the little guy looks quite energetic, his body is still a little weak.

It is likely that there are more than three in this litter, which leads to a shortage of food around it, so that the female rabbit is raised to eat on her own and then abandoned.

The team stopped and stopped, and soon came to a halt beside a sand dune.

Walking in the desert is not as easy as walking on the road, even if it is winter, but the desert itself lacks moisture, and the sand is still very soft and soft.

If you step on it, you will most of the time sink into the sole of your foot.

In this case, the exertion of physical strength is surprisingly high.

Even if the people present are basically professionals, they have to eat something to replenish when it is close to noon.

Otherwise, by the time the afternoon comes, there will definitely be people who can't hold on.

Wen Wanwan transferred the contents of a small backpack to a large backpack, and then put the little rabbit inside.

The size is just right, plus the temperature is right, and the little thing is ready to sleep as soon as the eyes are closed.

Wen Wanwan hung the backpack on the camel, and then walked towards Ji Shan's group on the side.

"Late, late!"

"Doctor Wen!"

"Captain!"

……

"Sit down, I just saw you guys discussing something, what's wrong?"

After hearing Wen Wanwan's inquiry, Jiao Fei pointed to a point on the map of the forward route.

"If we continue at the scheduled pace, we will hit this sandstorm as soon as tomorrow afternoon."

After hearing this, Wen Wanwan's brows also furrowed.

"What about the level?"

"Strong sandstorms, and very likely to evolve into extra strong, we better slow down and avoid them."

Tang Ge on the side also pointed to the planned route on the map.

"If we leave early tomorrow, we'll pass through this position, and the sandstorm won't affect us at all."

This is the point of contention between the two people.

If they choose to leave early and go around the sandstorm, their speed will not be affected, and the time to the next oasis will be shortened.

If they choose to avoid it, they will have to wait until the sandstorm clears, or weakens to the level of blowing sand.

Both options actually have different reasons, and the bypass is to get to the designated location before the danger of a sandstorm arrives.

If there is any delay on the road, it is likely that you will have to face a sandstorm, but the time is appropriate.

If you avoid it, it will be safe, but no one knows when this sandstorm will dissipate.

If it lasts for ten days and a half months, then they will basically have to delay.

Wen Wanwan looked at the map and was silent for a long time, and then chose to avoid it.

It doesn't matter if it's just her, just speed up and get through it.

But after all, there are so many people in a team, and she, as the captain, must be brought out alive in the end since she brought people into the desert.

"Let's wait in the haven, this sandstorm will come quickly, but I don't think it will last long."

The captain spoke, but a few people didn't have any opinions.

Just as he was about to communicate the details with a few people, a camel team suddenly appeared in sight.

At the front of the procession was a large flag with a blue hat painted on it and a few large letters.
