Chapter 1580: Giant panda and golden monkey

Liangshan is located in the southwest of Shu. If someone is dissatisfied with their life in the city, come here to take a look, and they are guaranteed to have a new attitude towards life.
The Western Shu line consisting of Aba Prefecture, Ganzi Prefecture, and Liangshan has always been plagued by disasters--because it is located in an earthquake zone, earthquakes and mudslides often occur. And due to inconvenient transportation and other reasons, except for a few relative towns here, other places are as poor as one might think.
Take the Daliang Mountain as an example.'Poverty' and'backwardness' have become synonymous here. When in the countryside, there are earthen houses, low walls, pipes, and Chaerva (the Yi people like to wear woolen blankets on their bodies. As a bedding.)
With regard to the poverty issue here, coupled with issues such as education and child labor, have always been the focus of social attention. And here is still relatively feudal and superstitious, Xiao Peng cannot say that this is wrong, after all, this is their national tradition, but some national traditions do make Xiao Peng unacceptable.
For example, patriarchy.
Women here are of low status, and they are the main labor force in the family. What about men? Drinking, walking and sleeping plus traditional reception. Although this is a bit exaggerated, the men here are indeed very high in the family.
To give a simple example, there is a policy in Butuo County, Liangshan that residents can go up the mountain and cut trees for household use on a fixed day each year. This is a very important activity for local residents. Almost all families will go up the mountain for timber. .
But if you go to witness this event with your own eyes, you will find that almost no men go. This is because the men in some families have gone out to make money, and even those who stay at home will not do such activities.
In fact, the state subsidies here are really very large. All kinds of kindness and donations are constantly pouring into this place. It can be said that it is one of the regions that accept the most welfare policies in the country. Apart from other things, this is an autonomous prefecture like Liangshan. In addition to the already established Daliangshan Airport, two more airports will be built in Huidong and Ganluo counties, and another six second-class and above will be built in the next step. Universal airport!
But here is still poor. In addition to historical and geographic reasons, people's own problems cannot be ignored.
However, this place is too important to China, so it has always been a place of national focus.
Just like this donation ceremony, why did Xiao Peng come to attend in person? It is to let the local people see that the country attaches great importance to it.
The welcoming ceremony was very big, and various media came to report on the spot, and Xiao Peng was photographed like a mascot. Six brand-new helicopters lined up in a row and performed a flight show on the spot.
After being a mascot for a long time, Xiao Peng finally saw the reward for being a mascot in the Giant Panda Conservation Park-a pair of giant pandas. But Xiao Peng's attention was not on this pair of giant pandas.
"Pengcheng, go, help me fix them, I want this pair of little monkeys!" Xiao Peng said to Sun Pengcheng, his eyes have turned into little stars.
The little monkey he was talking about is nothing but the famous Sichuan Golden Monkey. It is the most beautiful golden monkey.
Just like the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys living in Yunnan and Tibet, although they are also called'golden monkeys', they are not golden yellow, but gray-black or white. The Qian golden snub-nosed monkeys living in Guizhou generally have the same color except for the golden forehead. Taupe, and compared to the three types of golden monkeys in China, the Sichuan golden monkey is undoubtedly the best-looking.
But the former Sichuan golden monkey was also the most unlucky-because its golden fur is very beautiful, and there are still people spreading that the flesh and blood of the Sichuan golden monkey has medicinal value, so the Sichuan golden monkey has become a target for people to hunt and kill. .
But they are lucky.
Because their habitat overlaps with giant pandas, and China started to protect giant pandas to establish a protected area very early, this Sichuan golden monkey was also protected. On the contrary, the number has become the largest of the three golden snub-nosed monkeys. There are currently more than 20,000 Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys, while the number of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys is less than 1,000. Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys are better, only about 3,000.
In this panda reserve, there is a group of Sichuan golden monkeys living here.
The lifestyle of the Sichuan Golden Monkey is definitely what all men yearn for. There is only one adult male in a monkey group. Many female monkeys want to have with him? Also need to compete for posts.
When the competition is fierce, a few female monkeys lie on the ground together, pouting their buttocks and waiting for the male monkeys to have sex. If the female monkeys lose the election, they will not be discouraged and will continue their efforts in a few days. When the breeding season comes, what the female monkey Miteno is doing is changing patterns to attract male monkeys to sex. From the posture to the location, from the ground to the tree, there are various attracting male monkeys.
For the female monkeys in the monkey group, the male monkey is the sky, and everything they do is to attract the male monkey. . . . .
"Brother Peng, what are you doing to the monkey?" Sun Pengcheng asked bitterly.
Xiao Peng laughed loudly: "Keep it for fun, you see such animals, but are there any primates besides humans? What a fun little monkey."
Sun Pengcheng’s face was speechless: "Brother Peng, you have come to a conclusion with this shot, but this is not easy to handle. How can I say that this also makes the national first-class protection of animals, and this is a large monkey group. The two little monkeys are taken away, and the big monkey is not happy."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Help me find a way! I'll leave it to you!"
Sun Pengcheng was depressed: "I'll try it, you are here to wait for me!"
Xiao Peng and Yang Meng looked at the two giant pandas in front of them. These are two children who are just over one year old, and their body length is about sixty centimeters. This is when the panda is the most skinny.
Two pandas are lying on a swing made of bamboo, eating apples while swinging on the swing.
"My old man's girly heart!" Yang Meng said with emotion: "Look at the bears, how cute this panda is, and then look at the few rammed goods at home! Wow, its eyelashes are so long! These two. Short legs."
Xiao Peng nodded: "Don't talk about us elders, what will happen after you let the women and children on the island see it?"
Standing next to the breeder of these two pandas, a girl wearing a mask, looked at the panda with a reluctant look: "Now it can only eat apples and dried bamboo shoots, but not wotou or anything else. . You must pay attention to their diet."
Yang Meng happily said, "This is a bear, so we should eat fish and meat!"
"What?" The breeder was terrified.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "He is teasing you."
The breeder let out a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Peng: "Now they are too lazy. You must guide them to do more activities, such as using food to lure them to climb trees. Adult giant pandas are unwilling. Climbing trees, they are too lazy, and now these two pandas can run and jump when they are most active. For their health, it is best to lay a solid foundation for them now."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep them healthy."
The breeder sighed: "Mr. Xiao, in fact, I am really worried about these two pandas. After all, we will give them physical examinations and conduct behavioral training on time. I am afraid that we will not be able to do it when we get to you. But we have a deal with China. For more than a thousand years of panda diplomacy, this is the first time that pandas have been given to individuals."
"A thousand years of panda diplomacy?" Yang Meng was startled when he heard this: "I only know that in ancient legends, Chi You and Huang Di were mounted on pandas when they fought. Why is panda diplomacy still so long?"
The breeder introduced: "In 685 AD, Wu Zetian presented the country with two white bears and seventy furs as a national gift. Later, according to textual research, those two white bears were pandas. At that time, it should be called'Shishi. Iron Beast'."
"Iron Eater?" Yang Meng asked puzzledly.
The breeder nodded: "At that time, the pandas were all wild. Sometimes they would go to the people's homes to lick the iron pan and look for salt from the top. This made people at that time think they were eating iron pans, so some people called them pandas. 'Iron-eaters'. Anyway, this kind of creature is only available in China in the world. I don’t know how many people are jealous. Many people once paid attention to pandas. Back then, many Westerners came to China to hunt giant pandas, like Roosevelt, the son of President Roosevelt of the Stars and Stripes, once went to China to hunt and kill a panda. He also wrote a book called "Tracking Giant Pandas." Until 1936, a woman of the Stars and Stripes country named him as a pug. He secretly brought the first giant panda to the Star-Tiao Nation. Since then, the giant panda has become the darling of the world. The National Government did a good job in this matter. Since 1939, it has banned the arrest of pandas. Pandas wanting to go abroad can only be gifted by the government, which was free at first, and then started charging."
Xiao Peng nodded: "I know this. What I want to know is, can this panda mainly use meat?"
The breeder answered Xiao Peng’s question:
Although pandas are also omnivorous and sometimes eat meat, in fact, a gene called'T1R1' in pandas has been mutated, which causes pandas to have an umami taste of amino acids in meat. The sense organs are ineffective, and there is no taste when eating meat. That's why they mainly feed on plants. And because of the climate, the panda habitat is shrinking, so in the end, it can only rely on eating other animals that eat less and have more fiber. Indigestible bamboo feeds on. Many people on the Internet say that pandas are a failed species. They say that they have a single food and cannot resist even a single flowering of bamboo. But in fact, pandas are very physically strong. They have a single diet but they can survive. The reproduction rate of pandas is not low. So pandas are not at a disadvantage compared to other bears. They can live from such a distant period to the present, which is a successful case of evolution. Mr. Xiao, you can raise polar bears, South China tigers and other beasts as pets , I think you can definitely raise this panda."
Xiao Peng was taken aback after hearing this: "How did you know?"
