In 2000, Lao Wu, a villager in Jiangxi, was cutting bamboo in the mountains when he encountered a rare animal. This thing has a nose like a pig, paws like a dog, a tail like a fox, a beard like a civet, ears like a mouse, and eyes like a rabbit, commonly known as "six unlike". The arrival of the "six unlikeness" caused villagers to rush to watch, but also attracted the attention of relevant departments in Jiangxi, experts spontaneously formed a group of research, to know what kind of species this is, so what is this thing, where does it come from, and what does it mean for now? Let's review what happened.
In Tonggu Township, Yichun City, Jiangxi Province, on the mainland, there is a group of farmers who, like most people, follow the habit of working at sunrise and living at sunset, guarding their hometown. Their hometowns are not well developed, so in addition to farming, farmers also spend their spare time hunting and processing bamboo products in order to obtain additional income.
On this day, Lao Wu, a fellow villager from Tonggu Township, went to the mountain to cut bamboo as usual, he skillfully wielded a sickle in his hand, immersed in his movements, and did not notice that there was a small animal next to him. He didn't notice it until the critter rubbed his leg. Lao Wu lowered his head and saw a "six unlike" that he had never seen before. "Six is not like" stared at him with round eyes, not at all like other animals on the mountain, they ran when they saw people, which attracted Lao Wu's attention. He is very strange in his heart, usually he goes up the mountain to see not 100 or 80 animals, and there are many strange things, but it is the first time he has seen people who come to the side without running. What's more, this animal itself has never seen it before, and it is impossible to tell what kind of species it is from the appearance alone. He waved his hand to drive away the animals in front of him, but this "six unlike" recognized him and generally couldn't drive away, now Lao Wu was more curious, animals in the wild will generally remain vigilant, but this guy is close to people and can't drive away.
"Maybe it's a fate with yourself." Lao Wu thought so, and then carried the "Six Likes" into his basket, and the bamboo was not cut, and he brought it home.
When he came home, the news that Lao Wu had returned with a new gadget spread all over the place, and many villagers came to Lao Wu's house to see what happened. Everyone gathered around the "Six Likes" to discuss the mystery of the identity of this little animal. The villagers have been going up the mountain for a long time and have seen many animals on the mountain, but this is the first time they have seen this one that looks like everything and nothing at all.
"I really don't know what it is" The villagers looked at it for a long time and did not see what kind of animal it was.
"Or kill and eat," someone in the crowd suggested.
"No, in case it's a state-protected animal, we can't eat it and walk around" Lao Wu didn't want to eat it. Compared with eating this animal, Lao Wu is afraid that he will go to jail if he eats a protected animal, and secondly, he wants to know what kind of breed it is more than eating it.
"Isn't it a monster," the villagers always like to blame demons and ghosts for things they don't know.
"It's the 21st century, where did the monsters come from" Lao Wu didn't believe in monsters, he just wanted to find out what kind of animal this animal was.
"If you don't call the people from the conservation station to see what it is," someone in the crowd proposed to call the people from the wildlife protection station.
Because there are many natural resources such as bamboo forests around Tonggu Township, which often breed some rare animals, villagers often find some national protected animals, in order to facilitate contact with villagers, and in order to maximize the safety of wild animals, the wildlife protection station has left contact information for villagers and formed a good interaction with them. Villagers always ask the people in the station when they encounter animals they don't know, and this time is no exception.
With the contact of the villagers, I heard that there was a "six unlike" in the village, and the people from the wildlife protection station soon came. They came to the village with materials and other professional resources, and saw small animals that made the villagers puzzled. Experts looked left and right at the "six unlike", exchanged heads and ears, and searched for information, but after a long time, they still could not accurately say what kind of animal it was. I thought that the people in the station would soon know what kind of breed this was, but who knew that even the people of the professional protection station could not give an accurate answer.
"Not sure what this is," said the person who had never seen it, said the animal protection station.
"There is no relevant information in the book" The villagers were shocked when they heard this, and the animals that even experts did not know what caused the villagers to be more curious, and the life history of "Six Unlike" became more confusing.
Seeing that the identity of the animal could not be determined at that time, according to the regulations, the people at the animal protection station could only bring it back to study and make a decision.
Soon the "six unlike" came to the protection station, there were more professional personnel and equipment in the station, and in the face of this little guy, the station also held a special meeting to find out what kind of breed this was. Experienced veteran webmasters analyzed against special atlases, but did not correspond to suitable varieties. They used professional instruments to conduct a physical examination of the "Six Unlikes" and found that everything was normal in the body, in line with the physical indicators of wild animals, and the healthy body and the attributes of the unknown breed made the "Six Unlikes" full of mystery. Seeing that the people in the institute could not know what it was, they invited more advanced experts to come, however, the more advanced experts could not draw conclusions, and everyone looked at each other and did not know what kind of variety it was.
Seeing that the animal protection station was helpless, everyone began to discuss what to do next. In order to give it a better living environment and let it receive more professional care, they sent the "six unlike" to the animal breeding park and handed it over to the keeper Laozeng to take care of.
Lao Zeng is an old employee of the breeding plant, and there are many animals raised by his hands, but even Lao Zeng, who has seen many animals, cannot judge what it is. He tried to find the answer from the habits of animals, so he brought a variety of foods such as greens, grass, fruits, and meat to the "six unlike", but he did not expect that it saw what to eat, without being a little picky, obviously an omnivore. Among these omnivores, it has a particular preference for lean meat and apples, but diet alone cannot explain anything, the old man has raised animals for many years, but this time, it really stumped him.
An unknown animal came to the breeding garden, and the news spread through the streets in a short time, and people rushed to see this rare thing, and the breeding garden became popular for a while. In the face of such a large number of people, Lao Zeng thought in his heart whether anyone would know what kind of animal this was, so he told the story of "Six Differences" with the crowd, hoping that some citizens who knew what kind of breed could enthusiastically say their thoughts and help determine what kind of breed it was.
Among those who come to watch, it is generally believed that this animal is a fox, because its tail and length and other characteristics are very similar to foxes, and it is suspected that it is a fox family. Moreover, foxes have a strong reproductive ability, and there are different varieties of foxes distributed on the mainland, and foxes eat very much, which is very similar to the "six unlike" in the garden.
Thinking of this, Lao Zeng's eyes lit up, could it really be a fox, with this question, Lao Zeng came to the expert office.
"It's safe to say that this is not a fox," the expert answered.
The reason is that the nursing body has a "smell", which is a unique taste of foxes, and 'six is not like' not only does not have this smell, but even other tastes, and like a feline like to lick its own hair, such a clean attribute is very different from that of a fox, ruling out the possibility of being a fox. Not only that, the beard and face of the "six unlike" do not have the slightest resemblance to the fox family, and it is not reliable to guess that it is a fox based only on its tail and habits.
After listening to the words of the experts, Lao Zeng also felt that "six is not like a fox", so what is not a fox? Could it be the legendary civet? Remembering the words of the tourists, Lao Zeng came to the spirit again and quickly asked the expert.
The civet weighs 3-7 kg and often appears in Yichun City on the mainland, "The place where the six civets were found is Yichun City, and the weight is compatible, and it is suspected that it is a civet with traces." Could it be the civet, experts gave a different opinion: "The civet has a significant facial pattern, and although the characteristics of the pattern vary according to the geographical location, the difference is not much." Not only that, civets generally have 3 colors on their bodies, and there is no single hair. And 'Liu's body is pale yellow, and there are no obvious patterns on the face, obviously it can't be attributed to the civet type", Lao Zeng felt that it made sense, and only nodded woodenly.
"Could that be a hybrid animal?" Lao Zeng continued to ask, expecting an answer from the expert, but the expert's answer once again made Lao Zeng fall silent: "Generally speaking, only the same species can hybridize, and the small animals that come out still belong to this species." You see that there are many traces of animals on the 'six unlike', and if the hybridization is not crossed by the same species, it can be seen that the probability of multiple animal hybridization is almost zero. And the species hybridized in nature are very poorly adaptable, and the 'six is not like' alive and jumping, all indications are that it is not hybrid." Experts denied that the "six unlikeness" was a hybrid, and Lao Zeng sighed and left.
In the days when there was no answer, Lao Zeng had been carefully feeding the "six unlike". Under the intentions of Lao Zeng, the "Six Unlikeness" has grown up a lot, and more and more tourists have come, but no one has ever known what the "Six Unlike" is. Sometimes tourists see the strange "six unlike" and ask Lao Zeng what this is, and the helpless Lao Zeng can only smile and not speak. Because no one knows what kind of breed it is.
There was an expert in the breeding garden who could not answer what the "six unlike" was, and the news quickly reached the ears of a rich man. The rich man likes rare things and is very interested in this six unlikeness, so he asked someone to contact Lao Zeng, hoping to invest 5 million yuan to buy the "six unlike". 5 million yuan is an astronomical amount, not to mention that the old man has never seen so much money, even if it is placed in the garden, this money can also do a lot of things! Now no one can answer what this "six unlike" is, and now someone just needs it, if it is not just right if it is sold. Of course, this is only Lao Zeng's personal idea, and how to deal with it still needs instructions from the last unit.
Lao Zeng did not dare to make a decision privately, so he asked the higher-level unit. The higher-level unit believes that although the identity of the "six unlike" is a mystery, there are certain risks in selling to the people. And 'six unlike' is very precious, although it is not known what kind it is for the time being, but it has a different meaning for the field of biological research, and its scientific research value is far greater than the economic value, so it cannot be sold. Lao Zeng refused the rich man's purchase request and continued to treat this "six unlikeness" with his heart.
Time passes day by day, but the identity of "six unlike" has always been a mystery, for 8 years, Lao Zeng carefully took care of it every day, watching it grow from small to large, from strange to familiar, but the mystery in his heart always existed. Gradually, there were not as many tourists in the park as before, and the crowds who originally flocked to see the "Six Unlikeness" began to become few and far between over time. The garden has become deserted again, everyone seems to have forgotten the "six unlike", only the old Zeng who accompanies it all day, and from time to time remembers the mysterious life of the "six unlike", but can only sigh and continue to take care of it.
Other small animals in the park will be accompanied by a member of the opposite sex at a certain age, which is so that the animal is not alone and also contributes to the reproduction of the animal. In the park in pairs, only "Six Unlike" has been single, because it is impossible to know what breed he is, so it cannot be paired, and it has spent year after year. Its lonely photography seems to tell a confusing story, but no one can understand what this story is, and can only pin their hopes on time, hoping that someone can solve the mystery of its origin and contribute to biological research.
Today, "Six Likes' still live happily in the park, and occasionally people still think of it and come to the park to see it, but no matter what, no one knows what species it is, where it comes from, and what it means for human biology. In any case, Lao Zeng never gave up, and he submitted information on the "six unlikeness" to the Forestry Bureau and other units again and again, looking forward to answers. At the same time, he also raises "Six Unlikes" as his own pets, breeding different feelings. Lao Zeng has only one belief in his heart, that is, no matter what species the "six likes" are, its existence is a gift from nature, and we, as the leaders of the earth, must love and take care of it, and only peaceful coexistence can make the common home more and more beautiful!
