The local tycoons are the most able to play, the precious cats, cats, dogs and dogs have not been able to meet the demand, especially like to raise those rare wild animals, not for anything else, mainly the price is expensive, is a symbol of status ...
The animal that was favored by the local tycoons this time was a turtle, living in Madagascar, called the Angeloka tortoise, also known as the plough turtle. There are only about 200-500 ploughhead turtles in the wild, and they are on the verge of extinction.
It grows extremely slowly, taking about 20 years to reach reproductive age, and the egg laying rate of female turtles is not high. This turtle is very expensive on the black market, generally measured in centimeters, generally $1,000 a centimeter.
Baby turtles like this cost about 2500 knives on the black market...
Adult turtles are worth 50,000 knives...
The local tycoons like the golden shell of this turtle, so many local tycoons like to use it as a pet, symbolizing "golden full hall", and having a plough turtle is also synonymous with wealth.
Due to the covetousness of the local tycoons, the number of plough turtles has been declining in recent years, and if it is not protected, in the next thirty years, the plough turtle will be completely extinct...
In order to protect rare animals and fight poachers, researchers have recently come up with a way to protect this rare turtle...
Engrave words on turtle shells! "Just as many numismatic enthusiasts like to collect untouched limited edition coins, local tycoons also want to buy turtles with complete shells, and we can greatly reduce their desire to buy." In order to protect the turtle and turtle, the researchers even came up with this trick, which is really "if you want to live, you must destroy it first."
The words on the turtle shell have two parts, namely the letter MG symbolizing the Malagasy government (Xiaobian first thought of MG domestic cars... ) and the number of the turtle. The researchers say that while this is not the most perfect solution, the incidence of illegal hunting has been greatly reduced since the inscription. (It's so ugly, no one likes it anymore!) ）
It really works! So this operation has been going on, although the last remaining "seed players" may have been "disfigured", but at least it continues the "incense" of the wild plough turtle... And then there is, local tycoons, let's raise something else bad?
