"Of course it's a powder keg. To the south of Qinglian Ranch is Yellowstone Park, which has the largest active volcano group in the world. Although it is some distance away from Yellowstone Park and is isolated by the southern mountains of Montana, Qinglian Ranch Qinglian Ranch and Yellowstone Park exist like twin stars. There are also several volcanoes dotted here, which provide a huge heat source for Qinglian Ranch. In addition, the ranch is surrounded by mountains and there are many internal lakes and rivers, making Qinglian Ranch Lian Ranch has a unique natural climate that is completely different from its surroundings," Zeng Gong said matter-of-factly. Roger and Natasha looked at each other, and both saw incredible things in each other's eyes. Following Zeng Gong's explanation, they paid special attention to their surroundings. Sure enough, the environment had changed a lot since they walked out of Livingston Airport. , the plants are more abundant, and some plants that only grow in some humid areas in the south also appear. Not only plants, but animals are also rich and colorful. Although they don't know how environmental protection is in Park County, the animals in Qinglian Ranch are extremely active and the species is relatively rich. ¡°Roger, what do you see over there?¡± Natasha suddenly pointed at the pale yellow figure in the distance that stretched her neck to look, and screamed. "What?" Roger looked in the direction of Natasha's finger in confusion. His slender figure, black eye circles, and innocent little eyes looked cute. As for what kind of animal he was, he was not what he was. zoologist. "Hey, Natasha, you saw it right, that's the black-footed ferret, and it's completely wild. I've never raised them." Zeng Gong smiled proudly. There are often precious animals in Qinglian Ranch. , black-footed ferrets do not appear to be very precious. "God, are they wild?" Natasha covered her mouth lightly, fearing that she would scream and scare away those cute guys. Black-footed ferrets have long been proven extinct in the wild by scientists. What we see now are all artificially bred by scientists, although they are now distributed in eight areas. Natasha has been trained as an animal volunteer and knows what this means. "There are about three hundred of them. They are good helpers in the pasture. They control the number of prairie dogs in my pasture within a controllable range." Zeng Gong nodded seriously, because their existence made the pasture The work inside has become much easier. Because of the presence of black-footed ferrets, there are few areas inside the pasture that have been damaged by prairie dogs. Only a few controllable areas of vegetation were destroyed, and they were quickly covered and restored to their previous appearance due to plant reproduction. "More than three hundred?" Natasha covered her mouth again and looked at Zeng Gong in horror. God, the black-footed ferret was declared extinct in the 1970s. In the 1980s, more than 120 were found in Wyoming. Not long after, two disease outbreaks caused the black-footed ferret to suffer catastrophe, and then the United States The government captured eighteen of them and has been breeding them to this day. In order to maintain the genetic diversity of the species, they have been divided into eight breeding bases and even used the frozen bodies of previously dead black-footed ferrets. They have gone to great lengths to protect and breed them. "It's nothing, look at the birds on the birch tree." Zeng Gong said casually, pointing to the pigeons preening their feathers on a stretched straight tree trunk. "It's just a wild pigeon." Natasha took a look and quickly gave the answer. "Wild pigeon? Haha." Zeng Gong smiled contemptuously, and then said, "Natasha, you are so funny. That is a famous passenger pigeon, not an ordinary wild pigeon in your mouth." " That's impossible," Natasha immediately screamed excitedly. There were once more than five billion North American passenger pigeons living in the United States. In 1866, a group of North American passenger pigeons passed through southern Ontario, Canada, forming a "river of feathers" more than 1,600 meters wide and 480 kilometers long. It is said that there are more than 3.5 billion birds in this group. In 1901, the last wild passenger pigeon was hunted in Illinois; in 1914, the last passenger pigeon, Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoo. The once legendary North American passenger pigeon has since come to an end on the earth. For nearly a hundred years, people never saw them flying again, and the "River of Feathers" became a beautiful legend. "Nothing is impossible, the facts are so wonderful, aren't they." Zeng Gong shook his head, he would not refute anything at all, facts speak louder than words. "Impossible, are you mistaken? The passenger pigeon has been extinct for nearly a hundred years." Natasha shook her head firmly, her belief had never been shaken. "I can provide the video." Zeng Gong was surprised by Natasha's stubbornness. Although he didn't want to argue, after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to provide evidence. Now that the ranch has developed into a million-acre giant comprehensive ranch, just relying on a few helicopters has long been unable to complete the patrol mission. For this reason, Zeng Gong purchasedAn appropriate number of infrared cameras, and this number is constantly increasing, to meet the needs of Qinglian Ranch. "Natasha, that's the passenger pigeon. Zeng, I didn't lie to you. The infrared cameras in the ranch have photographed them many times. Unfortunately, the specific number is still uncertain." Elena glared at Zeng Gong, Then he took one of Natasha's arms and explained softly. "Really?" Natasha looked at Elena with wide eyes. She never doubted the authenticity of what Elena said, but the concepts she had established since she became an animal volunteer suddenly showed signs of collapse and she did not dare to accept it. '"Of course, you can see many magical places in Qinglian Ranch. Here you can see the coexistence of temperate rainforests and tropical rainforests, grasslands, lakes, and forests working together to encircle the desert, valleys full of various gems, the goddess of light butterfly Freshwater pearl oysters are flying here, exposing their tender flesh in the water to bask in the sun. Various hummingbirds are busy. A Chinese farmer and two college students direct a large group of experts and professors to artificially transform Qinglian Ranch. Many things subvert everyone's understanding. Things are constantly being corrected, so you have to learn to get used to it." Elena explained softly the magic of Qinglian Ranch. ¡°Is it like the beef from Qinglian Ranch?¡± Roger suddenly said. "Hehe, that's right, buddy, that's how Qinglian Ranch is. Whenever you think you know it well enough, it will always bring you another surprise. Even I don't fully understand it." Zeng Gong looked at it with a smile. Roger said. "It's no longer thirty degrees north latitude."
