Chapter 166 163. I want to use it as a specimen (510)
"Not a tiger?"
"Yes, it's not a tiger, it's a liger!" James explained. "I bought a liger cub from the Australian National Zoo, and it didn't hurt."
Of course, there is no harm. Wang Bo looked at this little beast pitifully. This guy is about to be crushed to death now. His body is dripping with blood, and he has not yet opened his eyes since it was excavated.
It was the first time he saw a magical beast like a liger, and his understanding of it was limited to junior high school biology textbooks. This animal is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger after mating. It is said that it can grow to be bigger than a liger. Half the size, it is the largest cat in the world.
This kind of animal should not be exported to the outside world. Wang Bo looked at James suspiciously and asked, "Did you really buy this? New Zealand allows private breeding of ligers?"
James respects Wang Bo as a lifesaver. His family has been rescued, and digging out the ligers is the last point of rescue, so he answered patiently: "You know, Mr. Wang , we Maori have some special treatment in the country, wild animal breeding is allowed."
Sergeant Smith knew more about these things, and he explained to Wang Bo: "The New Zealand government made special legislation on two types of people at the beginning of independence. The first type is old nobles like the Roberts family, who can keep their territories; The second category is the Māori, who can maintain the traditions of life that have been passed down through the ages."
The Maori, like the Indians, belong to some aborigines in the New World. They have awe of wild animals, and some wild animals are even their beliefs.
The independent government of New Zealand introduced such a policy at the time to make up for the harm that the British and French immigrants had done to the Maori aborigines, but this policy was originally intended to allow the Maori aborigines to breed large dogs.
As a result, as the Maori people became richer, they were not satisfied with raising dogs, and began to raise wild beasts such as wolves, tigers, lions and leopards. Because of policy protection, ligers can be bred by Maori.
James is the biggest local tyrant in the Maori settlement of Homeless Town, and there are many wild animals in his yard.
The rescuers saw the liger cub for the first time, and they all came to watch. Sergeant Smith saw that this was not good, so he said to James: "Move your monster to a more secluded place. Damn it, I don't want to delay the rescue work!"
James said with a bitter face: "How can there be a place to hide here? Bury it, see, it is almost dead, and it will definitely not survive."
Hearing this, Lao Wang, who was studying the liger, was moved. He tentatively said, "Maybe we can rescue it. Is there no veterinarian here? The liger is very precious, and it would be a pity if it died." Bar?"
The probability of a lion falling in love with a tiger and becoming pregnant is extremely low. Even in a captive breeding environment, the chances of tigers and lions conceiving are only 5% to 10%. Due to congenital deficiencies and other reasons, the survival rate of the cubs is only about 1/10,000. At present, there are only about 1,000 ligers surviving in the world.
James was indeed a rich man, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's just a beast, it's fine if it dies. But it's a pity, I spent 800,000 New Zealand dollars when I bought it!"
After hearing this, Wang Bo immediately said, "How about this, buddy, anyway, this liger doesn't seem to be able to survive anymore, how about I buy it?"
Both James and Sheriff Smith looked at him in surprise, Lao Wang hurriedly explained: "It's like this, you may not know that we Chinese like big cats like tigers and lions very much, but I definitely can't raise such beasts, So I can buy the liger and if it dies, I can stuff it."
This is of course a pretext. His real purpose is to use the powerful healing ability of the heart of the lair to revive the liger, and then give it a soul heart to make it a gimmick in the town!
Live ligers are rare, and there probably aren't many in New Zealand. If a town can have such a precious beast, it will definitely attract the attention of many people.
His explanation was reasonable. James waved his hand generously and said, "Since you want the specimen, you can just take it with you. I won't charge you."
Wang Bo thanked him, but insisted: "That won't work, James, I can't take advantage of the fire. Your home has suffered a natural disaster, and now is the time when you need money. I bought this liger, which can be regarded as supporting your family reconstruction." .”
The Maori people around were moved by Lao Wang's chivalrous heart, James came up and gave him a hug, and said with admiration: "Wang, you are such a good guy!"
"How about one hundred thousand yuan?"
"No, 50,000 is enough! A live liger is only 800,000, how can a dead one be worth 100,000?"
Wang Bo insisted on giving 100,000. After all, Sergeant Smith was required to be a witness, and they entered into a purchase contract.
The reason for doing this is that he wants to reduce future disputes. With the powerful healing ability of the heart of the lair, as long as this liger cub does not die before reaching the castle, he will definitely survive in the future. In this case , He worried that without the contract, James would regret it.
The contract was signed, and the half-dead liger cub belonged to Lao Wang.
In fact, for ordinary people, it is not a wise choice to raise a liger. Regardless of its parents being the natural overlords of a lion and a tiger, the liger has a very low viability, a low IQ, and lacks attack. sex.
Based on Lao Wang's understanding of ligers, even if there was no reason for the earthquake, the ligers would not survive much longer.
After getting the liger, Wang Bo immediately ordered a group of his men to carefully move it to the back seat of the predator. After being tossed by them, the half-dead little beast lost a bit of breath.
Lying on the seat cushion, the little liger shed clear tears from its closed eyes, as if mourning its sad and difficult fate.
Wang Bo wanted to bring the little beast back to the castle as soon as possible, but there was still more important disaster relief work, and the predators were blocked on the road, more rescue teams arrived, and the homeless town, which was the epicenter, was besieged.
Of course, the major media that will come sooner, BBC, CNN, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, New Zealand National Radio, and even the New Zealand branch of CCTV, all large media with offices in New Zealand sent people immediately Come.
Lao Wang took care of the little liger and drank some warm milk. At this time, someone came to him. He thought he was going to let the young man work, so he said, "Wait for me, buddy, and let my child rest for a while."
The man said, "No, Wang, a reporter wants to interview you and your dog!"
