Chapter 610 (1/2)

”Come on, ah, how did it fall off again.”

”Ha ha, Yazi doesn't look very smart!”

”The Crested Ibis's long mouth looks like a pair of chopsticks.”

”Well, it feels like holding soybeans with chopsticks. It's still very difficult.”

The two Lauries watched the Crested Ibis eat loach with relish and commented from time to time.

What performance do you need to see animals in the zoo? The natural behavior of animals is the most wonderful program.

Of course, tourists also need to be patient to wait and observe. A casual visit will naturally feel very boring.

At this time, several Crested Ibis glided from a distance with their wings flat.

”Ahow ~ ahow ~”

While flying, it makes a high and melodious song.

Tang Xiaoxin immediately opened her eyes and wanted to marvel. She covered her mouth for fear that the noise would scare them away!

The Crested Ibis flying head-on has wide wings. The edge of the wings is bright white as pearls, and then a touch of light orange red. It seems that it is elegant and charming after being stained with light pink peach flowers and red rouge.

Once illuminated by the sun, it emits a faint red light. It seems that several elves are dancing under the blue sky!

When he landed on the ground, his wings retracted and his gray appearance was restored.

He followed his companions to pace in the shoal and rummaged through the loach hidden in the mud with his long beak.

Tang Xiaoxin breathed out and said happily, ”ah, it's so beautiful!”

Qian Keke recovered and was very excited: ”I was stunned when they flew over just now!”

A tourist wearing a hat looked at the Crested Ibis and seemed to sigh.

He said to his companion, ”have you seen the last words of the Crested Ibis?”

The companion shook his head: ”I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it!”

The Hatter said, ”the book I just bought tells a story about the extinction of Japanese Crested Ibis.

The protagonist is Chun Xiong. His biggest hobby is to look for and observe Crested Ibis. However, the number of Crested Ibis in Japan is very small, and he is very vigilant and rarely sees it. Then he made a series of investigations about Crested Ibis.

Crested Ibis used to be caught to eat and make feathers into handicrafts. During the war, people cut down trees and burned charcoal on a large scale, and the habitat of Crested Ibis was also greatly reduced.

Chunxiong investigated that there were only dozens of Crested Ibis in Japan. Anyway, there were few.

It's too late to protect the Crested Ibis. It's also controversial to catch them and raise them in captivity. At first, all the individuals in captivity died.

Moreover, it will lead to the rapid development of Japan's economy and a series of environmental problems. Minamata disease, you know? A crested ibis died less than a year after being caught and raised. After autopsy, it was found that there were high concentrations of pesticides and mercury in its body.

When the last five were left, the Japanese government decided to catch them all and breed them in captivity. As a result, they failed to breed successfully and all their children died. ”

The companion sighed sadly: ”ah, many animals have disappeared unknowingly. It is said that giraffes are endangered now. Should the Crested Ibis in China be all right?”

The hat man added: ”in fact, our Crested Ibis was also very critical. At that time, the number decreased sharply and had not been recorded for decades. It took three years to find them in Yang County, and there were only seven when they were found!

There are only seven saplings left. They may be extinct without discovery in a year or two. Think about it. ”

The companion asked, ”lucky enough! How many are there now?”

”There are 5000 now!”

The companion said sincerely, ”it's amazing!”

The Hatter said, ”we learned the lesson of Japanese Crested Ibis and protected their habitat on the spot.

Pesticides and chemical fertilizers are prohibited in the local fields, and mining is also prohibited. In winter, a certain paddy field is reserved for Crested Ibis to look for food, which makes the Crested Ibis population reproduce and grow again.
