    Chapter 28 The traces of the giant python

    At the beginning of the 20th century, the State Forestry Administration and WWF conducted a large-scale survey of wild South China tigers and their habitats across the country. During the search, no wild South China tiger was found. After this survey, some foreign scholars believed that wild South China tigers were  Already extinct.  However, domestic scholars have not given up hope of searching for wild South China tigers, and Wang Zheming is one of them. He has never given up looking for South China tigers in the past seven or eight years, and has searched in stages for eight or nine years

    In the winter of 2007, the Institute of Endangered Animals launched the "Field Survey of Wild South China Tigers in Northern Guangdong" project, and Wang Zheming also participated, but in the end no trace of wild South China tigers was found.

    Today, the possibility of wild South China tigers existing is extremely slim, and many experts believe that South China tigers are extinct in the wild.  As of October 2010, there were about 110 South China tigers in captivity around the world.

    The South China tiger originated from China two million years ago and is the ancestor of all tigers in nature.  The nine recognized subspecies of tiger, including the six existing subspecies, are all derived from this.

    The South China tiger not only plays an extremely important role in the ecosystem, but its origin and spread, as well as the change process of its distribution area, have irreplaceable scientific value in studying the origin and evolution of tigers!

    You can imagine how rare the wild South China tiger is.

    In order to change the fate of South China tigers that are about to become extinct, unprecedented rescue measures have been taken to save South China tigers: releasing South China tigers from cages, conducting effective breeding, increasing the number of South China tigers on the verge of extinction, wilding them to restore their wildness, and finally reintroducing them.  The wilderness of China.  It gradually increased in the large and safe habitats of China.  In order to achieve this goal, the South China Tiger Reintroduction Project has two main sub-projects: the first is the South China Tiger Rewilding Project, and the second is the South China Tiger Pilot Reserve Project in China.

    The forest where Wang Badao is located is not one of the Chinese tiger pilot reserves, but the most authentic wild South China tiger appears here.  Wang Zheming was not only surprised, surprised, but also helpless at the death of the South China tiger.

    Although dead South China tigers can prove that there are still wild South China tigers in China, they are far less valuable than living South China tigers.  And who knows if this is the last wild South China tiger?  Perhaps with the death of this South China tiger, wild South China tigers will become extinct.  There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The death of this South China tiger means that it is impossible for other tigers to exist in a mountain range.

    Wang Zheming calmed down. Although his wish for many years had come true and he finally found an authentic wild South China tiger, the death of the South China tiger also made him regretful. He turned to the other students and conservation staff who were already stunned.

    "Although the South China tiger is dead, it still has research value. We need to carry its body back for study."

    "Furthermore, with a body of nearly three meters, this South China tiger is almost the largest South China tiger ever known. So how did it die? It seems that other animals definitely killed it! And this  It remains to be seen what the unknown animal is, but we must be careful and safe. It can kill even the nearly three-meter South China tiger, the absolute overlord in the forest, which shows how powerful this unknown creature is. If we are not careful, we may  It will stay here forever. So we must be careful.¡±

    "Professor, what animal do you think can kill this South China tiger? Could this South China tiger be killed by poachers?"

    Li Yue asked the question in everyone's mind, and everyone was looking forward to Wang Zheming's answer.

    "This is definitely not a South China tiger killed by poachers. There are no gunshot wounds on the South China tiger. Moreover, if poachers killed this South China tiger, we would not have encountered the body of the South China tiger here. It would have been long ago."  It was transported away by poachers." Wang Zheming said with certainty.

    Wang Zheming has not dealt with poachers once, and is still very familiar with poachers.  He has an extreme hatred for poachers. If poachers hadn't been killing wild animals crazily, there would have been fewer and fewer wild animals.  There are currently about 1.5 million known species of animals on the earth, and 75 species go extinct every day around the world, and 3 species are labeled dead every hour.  Many species have disappeared from the earth before scientists have had time to describe and name them.  Although the extinction of these animals is related to the persecution of the earth's ecological environment, poachers also contributed a lot.

    After carefully observing the carcass of the South China tiger, Wang Zheming was a little confused.

    "Looking at the death of the South China tiger, it looks like it was strangled by a python, but this place is not a tropical rainforest, how could there be a python living there? Moreover, even if it is a python, this python can actually kill a South China tiger that is nearly three meters tall? This  It¡¯s incredible!¡±

    Suddenly, Wang Zheming seemed to have discovered something.  He was stunned, as if he had discovered the most incredible thing in the world.  ?Zhe Ming suddenly said a little eagerly: "Bring the gloves. Don't get close to the South China tiger carcass yet. Well, bring another chemical reagent."

    "Professor, what's wrong?"

    Li Yue took a pair of gloves and approached and handed them to Wang Zheming. Seeing Wang Zheming's strange behavior, Li Yue was a little puzzled.  It's normal to wear gloves when examining a corpse, but there's no need to use chemical reagents, right?  Others also looked at Wang Zheming in confusion, wondering what the old professor was crazy about.

    Wang Zheming didn¡¯t care about the puzzled looks in his eyes. There was excitement and urgency in his eyes at this moment. He just wanted to confirm one thing now!  That is, is this South China tiger poisoned?

    Wang Zheming discovered that the black blood flowing from the corners of the South China tiger's mouth was toxic.  If the South China tiger is really poisoned, there is a certain possibility that it was left by the python, which can also prove why the South China tiger was killed by a python.  Or rather poisoned!  In Wang Zheming's mind, this kind of python that is not found in the tropical rain forest will not be too big, and is most likely to be five or six meters.  A five to six meter python will never be able to kill a nearly three meter tiger.  And if pythons are highly toxic, then everything would be explained.

    ¡°Perhaps, when Wang Zheming actually sees Wang Badao, he will know how big the gap between the five- to six-meter python he imagined and the reality.  How terrifying is a giant python that is truly invincible in the animal world!

    Wang Zheming used a syringe to draw out the blood of the striped tiger, and then dripped it into the chemical reagent, and the blood quickly spread.

    Wang Zheming opened his eyes wide, and suddenly said with joy: "Sure enough, it is indeed like this. Haha This time it is really not in vain."

    "Professor, have you found anything in your research?"

    "Yes! Professor, seeing how happy you are, have you made any important discoveries?"

    "Professor Wang, tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."

    "Haha don't be anxious, listen to me slowly." Wang Zheming laughed when he saw everyone's surprised look, and said obviously very happy: "What do you think this is?"

    Wang Zheming asked as he stretched out the chemical reagent in his hand.  Except for the five guards who hold rifles and are responsible for protecting everyone's safety, the other students are all top students in the school, and they are naturally outstanding in the chemistry class.  When everyone gathered around to take a look, they all exclaimed.

    "The blood of this South China tiger is actually highly poisonous"

    "Yes, it's really incredible. Could it be that the South China tiger was strangled by a python after being poisoned? Let me tell you, how could a python kill a tiger nearly three meters tall"

    "Li Yiran, I just said that it is impossible for a python to kill a South China tiger. It must have been killed by a python after it was poisoned."

    The student named Li Yiran was not convinced.

    "That's not necessarily true. It's possible that the python itself is highly venomous"

    "Ha ha ha ha¡­¡­"

    Hearing Li Yiran¡¯s words, everyone laughed.  This was not a mockery. After all, he knew that Li Yiran was angry, so he just smiled kindly.

    "Haha Li Yiran. Have you never studied biology? When did pythons actually become venomous? Why didn't I know." The student just didn't miss the opportunity and said in shock.  Obviously the relationship between the two is not very good, otherwise they would not be so supportive of Li Yiran.

    Li Yue interrupted: "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, just listen to the professor."

    Li Yue¡¯s words are still very effective. There are two girls among the seven students, and Li Yue is one of the school belles in the school. Naturally, there will be no shortage of people to pursue her.  Some of the five male students may have participated in this event just to get close to Li Yue.  After all, there are so many people pursuing in school that it is difficult to stand out to attract Li Yue and there is no chance of contact.  And this time is a rare opportunity. After all, those who are close to the water are first come first, and only with the opportunity of contact can future development be achieved

    Wang Zheming said again: "Although it is not certain whether the python is a poisonous python that has never been discovered, or whether the South China tiger was poisoned by other animals and was later killed by the python! This remains to be investigated. However, we  You should look for pythons and find answers. If it is really a poisonous python, the value of the poisonous python is much greater than the value of the South China tiger."

    pS: Okay, it was a joke.  I have been working the night shift recently, and I was a little confused this morning. I also checked the encyclopedia. After I finished writing, I always felt that something seemed to be wrong. I checked it several times but couldn¡¯t find it It turned out that I had mistaken the Siberian tiger (Siberian tiger).  ¡­¡­wipe!  Modify it immediately, sorry!
