660. Four Dissimilarities in Africa
These four Hogas came from Mosanbi, and the black captain mentioned that Cap City was a city given by Mosanbi.
However, Hogas is home in Congo. Because it only exists in the Congo rainforest, their population has always been sparse. In recent years, the political situation in the Congo has been unstable and people are living in poverty. People and militants are seeking food from the woods, resulting in a large number of wild animals being hunted and the number of Hogas has been further reduced.
These four Hogas belong to a private zoo in Cape. The black captain introduced: "Galileo Zoo, do you know this place? This is a private zoo run by the Galileo family for generations. It was once a large scale and was the largest and most complete zoo in Cape. Later, it was no longer possible. The government also built a zoo, and many animals in the Galileo family belonged to the urban zoo."
Yang Shubao asked: "Has their private property been occupied by the government?"
The black captain shrugged and said, "On the surface, there is no one. It is said that the Galileo family gave it to the city zoo, but we all know what happened in private. The Galileo family gradually began to move abroad. They sold their assets and sent their families' animals out. These hogars are for you."
Yang Shubao still finds it difficult to explain: "Why give it to me? Do I mean I know them?"
The black captain shrugged and said, "Who knows? Did they not contact you? Mr. Galileo told me that you will get used to giving you these four Hokkas, and you will definitely understand his intention."
After hearing this, Uncle Yang could really guess Mr. Galileo's intention.
According to the black captain, the Galileo family is inseparable from wildlife conservation. They should have learned about the Yang Zorro reserve through news or friend introduction channels. If they want to deal with the animals raised in their own zoo, the reserve is a good place to accept.
In particular, they sent out Hokka, one of the rarest animals in Africa. It is a national treasure of the Congo and must be delivered to a trustworthy place.
Sadly, the Congolese government will only keep its protection of wild animals verbally. Although they always promise to protect wild animals, they have never implemented it in practice. If it is implemented in practice, Hoga will not reach Mosanbi.
Now the storm is rampant and it is not suitable to bring animals off the boat, so Yang Shubao first cleaned up some fruits in the rain, and then carried a large bag of fruit onto the cargo ship.
There are four animals in a warehouse, and this is Hoga.
This animal has a very strange appearance, and looks like a horse overall, especially with large black and white stripes on its buttocks and legs. If you look at it from behind, it is very similar to a zebra in both shape and appearance.
But if we look at it from the front, Hogas is very similar to a giraffe. When adventurers first discovered this species, they thought it was caused by the mating of giraffes and zebras, which made them extremely excited, thinking that their discovery broke the iron law of reproductive isolation of species in nature.
In fact, if you look closely, the hogarus is not similar to the zebra and the horned anthracite. They have a pair of small palm fan fans to attract wind ears. Some have two short horns, some have no horns, and those with no horns are males, and those without horns are females.
Interestingly, the male with long horns is one size smaller than the female without horns.
The four hogars should have been on board for a long time. The air quality in the cabin is quite poor. Although there is no feces or urine, it is full of feces or urine.
Zhang Jinjie, who was on the boat with Yang Shubao, was swearing: "This thing is so smelly."
Yang Shubao said: "You definitely don't believe it, they actually have body fragrance."
Zhang Jinjie laughed: "They have a body fragrance? Are you teasing me?"
Yang Shubao explained: "This is true. The fur of Hogas is a faint fresh fragrance, which is particularly rare among animals. However, they like to mark the territory with urine and like to pee anywhere, so if they are placed in a closed space, the taste will be very bad."
He pointed to the place under the hogar's hoof: "Look at it, their hooves will continue to secrete something."
Zhang Jinjie went over and looked at it and was surprised: "What is they secrete? Why is it sticky? It's not secreting asphalt, right?"
Uncle Yang smiled and said, "Of course it's not asphalt, but it's really similar."
Seeing Zhang Jinjie approaching, Huo Jiaqi and others quickly retreated, but when Lao Yang stepped forward, they immediately posted it on their own initiative.
This made Zhang Jinjie very dissatisfied: "I haven't disliked you yet, do you actually disliked me?"
Uncle Yang opened the bag and poured out the fresh fruit. Unfortunately, these four Huojiazhai could only eat hay feed along the way. When they saw the fruit, their eyes were about to shine.
This animal has a very mixed diet, including grass, fruits, and even fungi and ferns.
The next interesting scene happened. The four Hogas stick out their tongues to lick the fruit. Zhang Jinjie was shocked when he saw it: "Do they have tentacles in their mouths?"
Yang Shubao said helplessly: "Don't be surprised, I have no knowledge, that's their tongues."
"Why is it so long? Or is it blue?" Zhang Jinjie asked in surprise, "I am a little student, don't lie to me."
Uncle Yang was too lazy to explain to him. Ho Jiaqi's tongue was very special, indeed blue, but this was not uncommon in nature. Chow Chow also has a blue tongue.
However, Hoga's tongue is indeed like a tentacle, thirty centimeters long, very long and flexible. They can use their tongue to clean their eyes and ears.
After feeding them fruits, Uncle Yang went to see the bucket, and there was only a water base left inside, which was turbid and dirty.
He poured out the bucket to look for Danshui, but there was no one on the boat. However, it was raining heavily at this time. He released the bucket and quickly received half of the bucket of water.
The bucket was brought back, and the four Pipi Hogas didn't bother to eat delicious fruits and came to drink water first.
Water is very important to Hokka, and they will never stay away from water sources.
However, the rainwater can attract them so much because Yang Shubao put the spring of life into it.
Hogas is an extremely rare animal. I'm afraid there are not ten in South Africa. He gets four at one time, so he must be treated as a treasure.
So he waited for Huo Jiaqi to drink the water and then fetch them water, and then comb their messy fur after collecting the water.
The fur of Hoga is beautiful and slippery, and has a light fragrance. Now they are careless about tying furs and knots, which looks a bit ugly. Yang Shubao used his fingers to comb them neatly and combed the messy hair.
Zhang Jinjie looked at the growing wind and waves and felt a little furrowed. He said impatiently: "Let's go, go, you've been there for too long. These hogars may want to sleep, you've disturbed them."
Yang Shubao said angrily: "Can you have some culture? If you don't have culture, don't easily expose your ignorance."
"What's wrong with me?"
