Chapter 632 (2/2)
The tail feathers of the Green Peacock are as green as jade. It reflects a layer of elegant and deep gold in the sun. It is very beautiful!
Sighed: ”the tail feather of the Green Peacock can be used as an heirloom! You must keep it well.”
When Li Xing came out of the bird house, he said, ”Mr. Fang, thank you for your gift. Then let's go? I'll go back and modulate the audio to make the blind date between the two Gibbons successful as soon as possible.”
”Is it so urgent? Have you booked your ticket back?”
”I haven't bought it yet! I didn't expect to record a love song so smoothly before I came here.”
Fang Ye warmly invited, ”don't be so urgent. How about a hot spring? The hot spring hotel in our zoo is well received by tourists. By the way, talk about the story of gibbons.”
Fan Peng was surprised. What kind of zoo does this even have hot springs!
When chatting on wechat, I thought Fang Ye was joking.
Quickly waved his hand and refused: ”no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
He came to the reception room and sat on the sofa. Fang ye took a can of rice wine out of the fridge and said with a smile, ”I made it myself. Try it!”
Pour a drink for everyone.
Li Xing took a sip and felt that the taste was fresh and fragrant, with a faint smell of wine. It was cool and pleasant, and his mood seemed to be much brighter at once!
Praised: ”good to drink!”
Fan Peng took a sip of rice wine, opened his chatterbox and spoke slowly.
After graduating from his doctor's degree, he prepared to study the evolutionary history of gibbon spouses and chose gibbon as the research object for more than ten years.
By studying the white browed Gibbons in Gaoligong Mountain, it is found that there is no white beard of East White browed gibbons. Is this an individual variation or a group difference?
Through further research, it is determined that they have obvious differentiation from East White eyebrow in terms of morphology, genetics, teeth and so on. It is necessary to give them a new name.
After thinking for a long time, I felt that we should have a loud name and make a big splash to attract more people to pay attention to this species.
Finally, he took a very cool name, Skywalker gibbon, Skywalker.
First of all, gibbons are typical arboreal animals. They live in trees all their life. Gibbons in the wild don't go down trees.
”Tianxing” well describes their behavior of living in the tree canopy and their flexible posture of walking and moving on the tree.
You can also rub the popularity of the legendary Luke Skywalker in Star Wars to attract the attention of the world.
In Chinese, there is also a famous saying that ”heaven is healthy, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement”. Taoism stresses the laws of nature, which is very consistent with the current ideas of wildlife protection and environmental protection.
On the other hand, gibbons live in peace with the world, do not meet people, and never harm crops. They have been regarded as ”gentlemen” since the Han and Tang Dynasties. They also hope that this species can strive for self-improvement and survive tenaciously in nature.
Fang Ye nodded and said, ”it's really a good name! I feel very bold when I hear it!”
Then fan Peng talked about some things he met on his way to study.
When I first went to study them, I knew nothing about them, where they were and how many they were.
In the 1990s, his teacher had a survey on white browed gibbons. It was estimated that there were about 50-100 groups and 200, but the survey was not very comprehensive. It will be an investigation with mules and horses carrying materials. The food is limited and many remote places cannot be reached.
When he started his research, he conducted a comprehensive survey of the places where there may be white browed gibbons, and found only 30 groups, and 8 and 9 groups were added through people's interviews. It is optimistic that there are less than 200.
There are no more places where there are records. Only more than 10 groups are found where more than 20 groups are recorded. Many small populations have been locally extinct, and the population decline rate is very obvious.
