Chapter 330
"Is Eld's deer only found here?"
"Yes, Eld's deer is a deer species that is only found in Hainan. It gives birth once a year, and the life cycle of each deer is about 12-15 years."
Feng Lan gave Qin Zhuo all the popular science at once, and Qin Zhuo and everyone listened with gusto.
"The Eld's deer don't go up mountains or into forests, and are generally only active in the plains. Because their only way to survive is to run fast and jump high. When they enter the jungle, they have limited advantages and are easily attacked by natural enemies."
"Who are their natural enemies? Lions and tigers?" Xu Mu asked.
Administrator Fat Jin laughed: "It's been a long time since I've seen lions and tigers in the reserve. The natural enemies of Eld's deer, especially young deer, are pythons, wild boars, jackals, etc."
Everyone thought it was true! Isn't the food chain like this, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mayflies!
Just as they were talking, the deer herd in front of them suddenly became restless in a panic. After a while, the Eld's deer spread their hoofs and ran around. When everyone looked closely, it was a brown wild boar that rushed into the deer herd.
The wild boar is leaner than ordinary domestic pigs, but its speed and energy are much braver. It stares at the Eld's deer with fierce eyes, and chases only one with a strong purpose.
The little eld deer ran around in terror, but the wild boar that was chasing up hit its hind leg with its sharp fangs, and blood gushed out like a column.
The blood stimulated the wild boar, making it charge more fiercely, and after a while, it caught up with the poor Eld's deer, and its fangs pierced its calf again, and the Eld's deer fell down immediately, and the wild boar rushed up.
Xu Mu and Qin Zhuo were startled when they saw the change in front of them, they stood up and ran towards them.
Feng Lanchu quickly stopped them.
"stop."
"If Mr. Xiaofeng doesn't go there, the little deer will die!" Qin Zhuo said that he and Xu Mu wanted to run forward together, but An Zhi grabbed the two of them.
It was the first time that Feng Lan felt the benefits of having an attendant by her side. It was really convenient to feel that someone would do it immediately after drinking.
But now is not the time to feel this, Feng Lanchu looked at the two of them: "You can't go there."
"???"
"why?"
Hearing Feng Lanchu's words, the two of them widened their eyes at the same time. Doesn't Teacher Xiaofeng like animals the most and love animals the most? Why not let them pass? Is it because they are afraid of getting hurt? Although wild boars are difficult to deal with, they are afraid of humans anyway, right?
Before the two of them figured out why Feng Lanchu stopped them, the person involved silently spoke.
"We are wildlife defenders, do you understand?"
"Aren't we going to protect them now?" Xu Mu raised his eyebrows.
"Our protection is mainly aimed at man-made damage, sudden natural disasters, and unreasonable disasters caused by plagues. These protections do not include hunting among animals."
"What... mean?" Qin Zhuo, Xu Mu, including the writers were all stunned.
"Natural selection is a law of nature. Wild boars eating deer is a natural thing in the food chain. We cannot destroy it."
"But isn't Eld's deer a national protected animal? Just watch it being eaten like this?"
"As researchers, we can't interfere too much in the normal life of animals. Besides, because Eld's deer is a protected animal, we prevent other animals from hunting, so what do other animals eat? Will it become the same as Eld's deer one day? endangered species?"
Seeing that the two teenagers were still in the fog, Feng Lanchu had no choice but to speak lightly.
"The fight between animals is a law of nature. We have no right to intervene and cannot intervene. This is the professional ethics of every practitioner involved in animal research."
