The area around here is basically a vast wilderness.

Expansion is not a hassle, and the approval procedures are simple.

But according to Colin's plan, the aquarium was placed behind the panda pavilion.

The land procedures have been completed, and we are just waiting for payment to allow the engineering team to move in.

Zhang Bei's face became darker and darker as he looked at the complete plan.

It can be said that if he hadn't suddenly come to the zoo, the entire zoo would have at least doubled in size in a few months.

"Explain to me, why did you build such a big aquarium? Why do you want to live in it?"

"Aren't we planning to raise two Yangtze finless porpoises? The space is too small for them to move around."

Upon hearing Colin's goal, Zhang Bei almost slapped him to death.

Raising pandas is already too much. If he hadn't used a lot of favors, the approval procedures wouldn't have been possible.

Are you talking about raising finless porpoises now?

It’s a matter of doubt whether the thing can be passed through the procedures, let alone finding a suitable one to keep.

There are only about a thousand of them in the world, and they are among the first batch of animals to be restored to wild breeding.

Once something goes wrong with this thing, everyone from top to bottom will be held accountable.

A few years ago, there was a zoo that did not believe in evil and insisted on raising one.

As a result, the finless porpoise fell ill just a week after arriving at the zoo.

The director of the zoo was fined hugely, and all personnel in the entire handover system were punished.

The person in charge of the introduction of finless porpoises was immediately resigned.

Aquatic organisms are difficult to take care of, especially when it comes to treatment, which is naturally much more troublesome than terrestrial organisms.

Zhang Bei also really likes smart big guys like finless porpoises, but if they are kept in a zoo, they are not much simpler than pandas.

Especially since he has relatively little understanding of aquatic life, it is impossible to take good care of finless porpoises without an experienced breeder.

"Let's put aside the finless porpoise issue. If the zoo can make a profit, I promise you to raise two."

It is difficult for zoos to make a profit. Except for those with a performance nature, most of them rely on subsidies to survive.

Especially this zoo, not to mention the remote location, doesn't have many animals that are really worth watching.

Want to make a profit?

It would be better to consider when Zhang Bei will go bankrupt!

But Colin has no idea about profit.

His pharmaceutical companies are all handed over to professional managers, as long as they ensure that they do not lack R&D funds.

He doesn’t even look at how much money he earns every year!

Just when Colin was full of confidence and ready to fight, the sound of a car horn rang from outside the door.

Through the window, you can clearly see the veterinarian carrying a huge cage towards the isolation room on the side.

Looking at the huge cage, Zhang Bei glanced at Colin with pity, and then walked downstairs with the desert lion.

Any animal needs to be quarantined and observed after arriving at the zoo.

Part of it is to allow the animals to adapt to the environment, and the other part is to prevent the animals from carrying germs.

Most animals will experience stress when they change to a new environment, but different animals have stronger or weaker reactions.

For example, dogs may only eat less in the first two days, but for cats, it is very likely that their hair will explode or even die from stress.

The observation of germs is easier to understand.

Once an animal carries a highly contagious virus, it is very likely to cause a disaster for the entire zoo.

Two trembling employees were asked to escort the desert lion back to the desert. Zhang Bei whistled and quickly got into the isolation room.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and Zhang Bei couldn't help but frown.

"Why does it smell so strong?"

"Is it heavy?"

Looking at the confused look in the veterinarian's eyes, Zhang Bei did not continue to ask.

He led a group of noisy viewers in the live broadcast room to look at the kakapo who was huddled in the corner.

Qianli Xingyun: [Damn, it’s so fat!]

Black and white: [Holy shit, can he really fly? 】

She said it was a story: [Fuck, what should I say?]

Zhang Bei looked at this little guy and began to educate the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The kakapo is the largest parrot in the world and the only one in the entire parrot population that cannot fly."

"Although the name contains the word parrot, you can actually think of it as a silly chicken."

There is wind on the tower: [Chicken?]

Lotus Star: [I always feel like something is not quite right! 】

Rurouni Kenshin: [Can I ask if it can play basketball? 】

When it comes to making memes, contemporary netizens are at the pinnacle of this aspect.

Zhang Bei glanced at the barrage and then quickly looked away and continued to popularize science.

"There are only about two hundred pure-blooded kakapos in the world, and most of them are in New Zealand, and they all wear positioning rings."

"Judging from the hair, the little one in front of us should be a new kid born in the past two years. It is still in a wild state."

"The kakapo is a bird in the family Psittacidae? The genus Kakapo? New Zealanders call it "kakapo", which is the local Maori language."

"Nocturnal, herbivorous, exhibits sexually dimorphic body structure, slow basal metabolic rate."

"The male is not responsible for taking care of the young. It is also the only parrot that practices polygamy and implements a courtship mating system."

"The kakapo actually has a very long lifespan. It is one of the longest-lived birds in the world, with a lifespan of up to fifty-eight years."

"In other words, this kakapo is about two years old this year. If nothing unexpected happens, it can send everyone away, including me."

Zhang Bei's science popularization is more interesting than Director Hu's, but if knowledge doesn't enter your mind, it doesn't enter at all.

If you want the people in the live broadcast room to remember popular science, it is as difficult as proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

Zhang Bei has a lot of popular science stuff, but he only remembered three sentences in the entire live broadcast room.

He has low IQ, cannot fly, and has a long lifespan.

Sister Zhou can also say: [Hahaha, I’ve bought the air ticket. The reason why this kind of parrot considers itself endangered is similar to the stupid roe deer, right?]

Bei Ming Youhai: [You have applied for private jet routes. Doesn’t it mean that animals will evolve to gradually adapt to nature? 】

Xiaodoujiao: [So the refueling money Boss Beiming mentioned last time was really aviation fuel???]

Zhang Bei ignored the noise in the live broadcast room and moved towards the confused little guy in the cage.

"Weng~~~"

"Weng~~~"

"Weng~~~"

The sound like a mobile phone vibrating made Zhang Bei pause for a moment before he moved forward.

Looking at the little guy's bulging chest, Zhang Bei almost laughed out loud.

"The sound you hear now, like a cell phone vibrating, is the call of a kakapo."

"This little guy may not look big, but in fact they can carry their calls for more than five kilometers."
