"The Dalmatian pelican is an extremely rare animal in the world."
"There are only less than 200 of them in the entire world."
“We’re definitely excited!”
Chen Chuan explained to them.
"Wow? There are less than 200 in the whole world?"
Nie Feng and Chen Xiang were both shocked.
In the live broadcast room, netizens were also very shocked.
“Is it so rare?”
"Yes, this kind of Daigo is hard to find no matter where you are."
"They live year-round in southeastern Europe, northern Africa, and central Asia."
"In our country, only in western Sichuan can one occasionally see one or two of them."
"Wow!"
"Then how come it decreases so quickly?"
"I remember that the scenery in western Sichuan should be quite nice, right?"
"It's mainly because of the rapid development of modernization, which has compressed the living environment of animals."
"Add to that various industrial waste produced by humans, which pollutes the lake water source."
"This is also an important reason why the number of Dalmatian pelicans has declined sharply."
A professional netizen gave everyone a brief introduction.
Chen Chuan and the others simply packed up and went back to the cabin.
The next morning, it was still dark.
The car sent from above has already arrived.
It was the same driver who had brought them here before.
Several people immediately set off for the West Sichuan Zoo.
On the way, Director He even made a special call to him.
Let him be mentally prepared, saying that the condition of the Dalmatian pelican is very bad now.
Hearing this, Chen Chuan was a little curious.
What kind of situation could cause Director He to call me so repeatedly?
Another two or three hours later, they arrived at the West Sichuan Zoo.
"The park isn't open yet today. If you want to see the animals, please come back at noon!"
There was a security guard standing at the door. When he saw them, he immediately stood up.
"Hello, we are here to see the Dalmatian Pelicans."
"I told you the park isn't open today!"
The security guard emphasized it again.
Chen Chuan had no choice but to call Director He.
Not long after hanging up the phone, a man in a suit and tie walked out of the zoo.
As soon as the man saw Chen Chuan, his eyes immediately lit up.
He quickened his pace and walked over.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Chuan, welcome."
"Hello there!"
Chen Chuan's gaze fell on the badge on the man's chest.
What surprised him was that the creature in front of him was actually the director of this zoo?
The director actually came to greet me in person?
How would you know about eating?
When the director learned that Chen Chuan was coming, he had already investigated his background.
I just learned that when the other party came here, they were actually received by their superiors.
Even this time, it was Director He who personally initiated the visit to the zoo.
So, in order to show their importance, he of course came here by himself.
"Let's go and see the Dalmatian Pelican."
Chen Chuan said directly.
"On the way, can you tell me what's going on with that Dalmatian pelican?"
The director nodded and led them into the garden.
There were already many staff members on the road, walking around and working.
When people saw Chen Chuan, they were all surprised.
"Wow, the director actually invited the anchor who can make the animals obey."
"Anchor Chen Chuan!!"
"I'm your fan!"
At this time, a young girl in work clothes called Chen Chuan.
He turned his head and looked at her. The little girl suddenly felt a little shy.
But she still suppressed her shyness and walked over with her cell phone.
"Ahh! You look even better in person than on live!"
Just looking at Chen Chuan's face, she felt like she could lick him for the rest of her life!
"Thank you!"
Chen Chuan curled his lips slightly.
Now, it’s even more handsome!
The little girl suppressed the scream in her heart and walked to Chen Chuan.
"Um, can I take a picture with you?"
Chen Chuan naturally nodded.
Then he stood behind her and held her phone in his hand.
There was a click.
The photo was taken.
Afterwards, she found Liu Yiyi and others nearby and took a photo with each of them.
It's like stamp collecting.
Fortunately, she moved quickly and finished the shot in just a few strokes.
The head teacher was standing next to them, without urging them.
It was not until they had finished filming that he said with emotion:
“You young people are still full of energy!”
"Mr. Chen Chuan is so young, but he has already achieved so much."
"It's really awesome!"
Chen Chuan smiled and answered modestly:
"It's just good luck."
"Director, could you please introduce that Dalmatian pelican to us?"
Seeing that the director wanted to praise him more, Chen Chuan quickly interrupted him.
"also!"
The headmaster nodded.
"That Dalmatian pelican flew over here a few days ago."
"At that time, it was the staff who discovered that this fish was eating the ornamental fish we kept in the lake."
"So we caught it and checked it, and we found out that it is a first-class national protected animal."
"At first, we wanted to apply to keep this Dalmatian pelican in the zoo."
"But who would have thought that starting from the day before yesterday, this Dalmatian pelican started to become irritable."
"I am plucking my feathers all the time."
"Plucking your own feathers?"
Hearing this, Chen Chuan had a bad feeling in his heart.
Generally speaking, no matter what kind of bird it is, what they value most is their feathers.
This is the most important prop when they are courting.
Only males with beautiful feathers and the ability to hunt can win the favor of females.
Not to mention the Dalmatian Pelican.
Because its lower mouth is particularly wide, it uses its lower mouth skin almost every day.
To wrap your feathers to make them shiny and smooth.
At this time, this Dalmatian pelican actually plucked out its own feathers, which was obviously abnormal.
"Yes, it has been two days."
"It has a bald spot on its body!"
Speaking of this, the headmaster sighed deeply.
"We have no other options and have sought out many experts in this area."
"They said the bird was depressed, but it wouldn't take the medicine they prescribed."
"This guy has a very sensitive nose!"
"Once they notice the smell of medicine, they will overturn the food without caring what it is."
"Later, in order to keep it fed, we didn't dare put anything else in it."
"Fortunately, although this guy doesn't look very well, he still eats."
"So yesterday, we informed our superiors that we wanted to release it."
"I think it just can't adapt to this kind of indoor environment."
The headmaster looked regretful.
This is one of only 200 Dalmatian pelicans in the world.
If they can keep this, wouldn't the West Sichuan Zoo have another gimmick?
Pity!
Although he wants to make money, he is not without conscience.
Since the Dalmatian pelican is not happy living here, let it go and fly freely! (End of this chapter)
