Chapter 1240 Trapped Reindeer
After eating the grilled mountain oysters, Han Xuan was full of his stomach. He rode the blue and black tiger Obama to a fir forest to collect chanterelles and mushrooms.
It had just rained a few days ago, and there were quite a lot of yellow mushrooms. I quickly picked a full basket and returned home along the same road.
When they meet cowboys or tourists on the road, they will be surprised to ask "What's wrong with the tiger?" or "Where did the black tiger come from?" Many people don't believe it when they say it was Obama.
Even if I believe it, I will ask why I dye it this color. I don’t know that there are natural black tigers in the world.
Below the willow trees by the Rota Lake, there is a group of peacocks living there.
When they bought turkey seedlings last year, Dad Han bought them back as an ornamental food. There were thirty of them in total, including one black peacock and one white peacock.
The mutation rate of peacocks is about one thousandth, which means that a mutated peacock may be produced in one thousand. It is not rare. It may turn black or white. They are all descendants of blue peacocks.
Except for the two mutated ones raised in Snow Mountain Ranch, all of which are blue peacocks. The neck and front abdomen are blue. The green peacocks are not as cold as the blue peacocks. No one in Montana will buy them.
When I passed by, I happened to see a blue peacock spreading its tail, shaking its tail. Like the bird of paradise, they are also masters of dancing among birds, but they do not have the exaggeration of the bird of paradise.
Han Xuan once saw it at the Snow Mountain Zoo. When the gorgeous birds transformed into dance masters in order to attract the opposite sex, their funny dance moves and strange appearances could make people laugh to death.
Obama carried Han Xuan and walked around the fountain to the door of his house. Han Xuan found an old Ford pickup truck parked on the side of the road. The license plate came from Ohio. I remember that this car was not available in the ranch.
Thinking that another tourist came to his house, Han Xuan felt that opening a resort seemed like a wrong decision. It was more lively than before, and it also brought a lot of profits. However, tourists seemed to be unable to see the "no access" signs on the roadside and often ran to their homes.
Jumped off Obama's back and said to his mother's bodyguard Miss Cindy, "Who is here?"
Bodyguard George liked Cindy for a long time, but unfortunately, every time Han Xuan left the ranch as soon as he made some progress, which made George quite helpless.
Cindy just retired from the army last year and was always lukewarm in his attitude towards George. She had already gotten married once before joining the army and her relationship with her husband only lasted for more than two months.
A second marriage in the United States is like drinking water and eating, and George doesn't care about it at all.
She told Han Xuan with a smile: "It seems to be a documentary director, I don't know, they are chatting with your mother."
"Documentary Director? Come Again?"
C in the UK has filmed documentaries for the Snow Mountain Ranch, and C TV station has also filmed it. The Discovery Channel has even produced a special series, which lasts twenty episodes, revealing the magical events of the Snow Mountain Ranch in all aspects.
Han Xuan entered the door with a basket, took off his shoes and socks and changed into slippers, and saw a man and a woman sitting face to face with her mother, about forty years old. She put down the basket full of chanterelle mushrooms and walked over, smiling and greeting her.
My mother introduced: "These two are the Hoyer couple. They are filming a reindeer migration documentary. I want to ask you for some help.
I just saw the snow leopards they took to shoot, and the picture effect was great. They took two years to shoot an episode and stayed on the snow mountain for more than a year. This profession is really great."
"Reindeer? Didn't they leave?" Han Xuan asked.
The reindeer migration activities in North America have been going on for countless years.
Before summer comes every year, countless reindeer herds scattered on the North American continent will migrate to the Arctic permafrost to give birth to cubs, and in winter, it will go south and return to a warm climate.
For thousands of years, they have retained this instinct and have never changed. No matter how extreme the terrain is, it cannot stop the pace of reindeer. Therefore, in summer, it is almost impossible to see reindeer in the wild in the snow-capped ranch.
Mr. Hoyer sat upright and nodded, "It was true before, but this year we found that a small group of reindeer stayed in Glacier National Park and Flathead National Forest without leaving.
The temperature is high in summer and the snow on the mountains melts very quickly. We saw many carcasses of reindeer while shooting.
Their fur layer is very thick, and the heat in the body cannot be dissipated, and they will die soon after heatstroke.
We also saw traces of reindeer in the iceberg lake at an altitude of about 1,800 meters. There were about 700 ethnic groups left, while other reindeer had reached near the Arctic permafrost.
Later investigations found that at the junction with Canada, a guardrail of up to 300 kilometers was set up. It was once to prevent British Columbian wolf from moving south, but now it has become an obstacle to the reindeer heading north.
This season should be the reindeer breeding season, but they showed no signs of mating and were scattered on various snow-capped mountains.
As the snow lines get higher and lower, those reindeer have to go down the mountain due to food shortages, and with high altitude lack of oxygen, I doubt they can survive this summer safely.”
"What do you need me to do for them?" Han Xuan sat next to his mother and asked the Hoyer couple, saying, "Do you remove those guardrails?"
I can talk to the governor about this, it should be fine."
“This may not be enough…”
Mrs. Hoyer looked at her husband and continued, "We hope you find a way to send these reindeer to the frozen earth circle.
They have great ability to identify directions. They can run back by themselves in autumn, and those old reindeer know the way back.
The migration path will undergo a natural elimination process, otherwise the reindeer herd may gradually decline.
I know you are the most caring, your animal protection organization has rescued many animals, so I hope you can help them.”
Sending hundreds of reindeer to northern Canada is not a big deal, at most it is just a little trouble.
Han Xuan was not sure whether the couple really wanted to help the reindeer or to use themselves to create the show effect, and glanced at their faces with their eyes.
But reindeer is innocent. It is hot this summer. There is only a small piece of white left at the top of the Flathead Snow Mountain, which may all melt away.
After thinking for a few seconds, he gave a reply and said, "Okay, I promise you."
I'll think of a way to catch the reindeer first and see how I can send them over quickly."
The Hoyer couple were so happy when they heard the news that they kept saying God's blessing to him.
After sending the couple away, Han Xuan's mother asked, "Son, how do you plan to send those reindeer to the Arctic?"
"Prepare some ice cubes and transport them directly by a few trains.
I went to ask someone from the animal police station for help, got some, and picked the chanterelles mushrooms back. Where is my dad?"
“Upstairs, call your grandpa.
He was asked to go to Sos Group for internship, but he was reluctant to do it. Now he is trying to do business. I really don’t understand what he is thinking. If you find someone to help him, you will definitely lose money.”
Han Xuan understood that it must be what he said in the morning, and inspired his father. He nodded and replied: "Well, I will ask someone to help him build a factory, and you don't have to worry about making a profit..."
