After Zhou Jing left, Zhang Zian suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask her which aquarium she worked in, because there are several aquarium she works in and around San Francisco. Which one is she working in?

However, this is not urgent. It is not too late to call her when she decides to go to the aquarium. There is no need to ask now. Don’t disturb others’ classes. It is not easy to work and study while studying, especially in San Francisco, a city with an extremely expensive rent.

If you are lucky, you can ask her if she is still recruiting people in the aquarium where she is. Even if she doesn't, you can introduce the situation of other aquariums. After all, she has been in San Francisco for about a short time.

Feimas asked, "Is that animal just now called a coyote?"

"Hmm." Zhang Zian asked, "You haven't been touched by its teeth or saliva, are you?"

"No." Feimas was sure of this.

"What's going on with coyotes? Why are there such beasts in San Francisco?" it asked, and returned to the house with Zhang Zi'an.

"Wait a moment."

Zhang Zi'an noticed a wet stain on the road and stopped Feimas because Feimas might just step on this wet stain after taking two more steps.

"Is this... water? Or sweat?" He bent down and looked carefully, but couldn't tell. Maybe it was Zhou Jing's sweat, maybe it was water dripping from passing cars, or maybe it was saliva sprayed when Pomei barked... it was possible.

Feimas didn't understand what was going on in a small pool of wet stains, but Zhang Zi'an looked solemn, so it didn't dare to take it lightly.

"It's not water or sweat, it seems... the urine of a coyote." Its nose has already distinguished the nature of the wet stain.

Zhang Zi'an pondered for a moment and drew an arc at it, "Come around, don't step on it."

"Protect the scene?" Feimas wondered, and he could only think of this explanation.

"No." Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "Certain diseases, such as mad cow disease, can be transmitted through urine, that is, even if you just step on the lawn covered with the urine of sick cows, you may be infected."

"ah?"

Feimas was shocked and even thought he had heard it wrong, "If you step on the lawn with urine, you will get infected?"

"In theory, of course the chance of infection is very low, but there is no need to take this risk, right?" He searched around, picked up a branch, dug some soil to cover the pool of urine.

Although it sounds incredible, it is the fact that it is. The one that causes the spread of mad cow disease is a special virus... It is not accurate to say that it is a virus. The correct statement is a special protein that humans know very little about, and urine may contain this special protein.

He didn't want his words to come true, but he was careful to sail for a thousand years. If he was infected by trampling on urine, he would be dead unjustly.

It’s okay for humans to wear shoes, but even if they have stepped on the urine of the mad cow, it’s not a big problem. However, Feimas is barefoot, and other elves are barefoot, so you must be careful.

Feimas walked around the pool of urine covered by soil, and turned his head frequently to look back with lingering fear.

One person and one dog returned from the stairs to the bedroom on the second floor. The other elves also gathered curiously next to the balcony door to witness the experience just now and heard Zhang Zi'an's words.

Zhang Zi'an first recorded Zhou Jing's number into his mobile phone, and then passed on Father Yang's conversation on the plane to the elves. Richard also made some extra additions to Ghent University.

Unexpectedly, I listened to the narrative about the coyote attack on the plane and witnessed it on my own on the first day of arriving in San Francisco.

"Why are coyotes going crazy?" Feimas's question is also a common question between Zhang Zian and other elves.

Since the primitive era, humans have dominated the earth for tens of thousands of years. Needless to say, extinct animals, existing terrestrial animals will basically instinctively fear humans, or try to live in harmony with humans like cats and dogs. How can an unknown man like a coyote dare to take the initiative to attack humans?

The possibility of collectively having a neurosis does not exist, the most likely explanation is that they are sick or poisoned, which leads to them being unclear and becoming aggressive.

If you are poisoned, it is actually fine. At least it will not be contagious. Unless it is gnawed by other animals after death, the toxins will spread, but the range of spread is also very limited.

I'm afraid it's some kind of infectious disease that has not been discovered by humans... or some kind of infectious disease that has been discovered by humans but does not know how to be infected by canines.

Feimas remembered the scene of confrontation just now and described the expression of the coyote, mainly because of the dull and gray eyes and the lack of direction.

This reminded Zhang Zian of the dog he saw in a pet clinic. It seemed that his eyes were white and gray, and this abnormal characteristic was quite rare.

Chinese dogs, American coyotes... across the Pacific Ocean, is there any connection between them?

Dogs and coyotes are both canine animals. Many people have misunderstandings that dogs are dogs and wolves are wolves. In fact, dogs are not a single species at all, and are biologically equivalent to wolves.

Defining a species requires that the offspring born in this species when reproduction is stable and fertile, while the offspring born in other species cannot breed and the offspring born is infertile. In short, it is reproductive isolation.

In this definition, dogs, wolves, and coyotes are all the same species. They can be freely paired and reproduced, and the offspring they are born are also fertile.

If a certain infectious disease can be transmitted to wolves, it can definitely be transmitted to dogs and coyotes, and vice versa.

He tried to clarify his ideas.

He previously suspected that the American dog food called Leshi caused strange diseases in Chinese dogs, and in turn caused the waste recycling station employees who secretly ate dog meat to suffer from strange diseases. However, he could not be sure whether the root cause of the strange disease was caused by toxins in dog food or bacteria in dog food, nor was he sure whether it would be contagious. If the toxin spreads between dog food and dog meat, it was called transmission, not infection.

However, the test report given by Wei Kang did not find any special harmful ingredients in dog food from routine inspections...

In addition to one thing - the meat in dog food, that is, the protein source is complex, and the large pellets come from conventional meats such as chicken, duck, fish and beef, and the source of the ground meat powder is not detected.

Meat powder is not necessarily meat, or 99% of the possibility is not meat. If it is meat, there is no need to grind it into powder. It is usually powder ground by drying bones or animal viscera.

As for what animal it is... he always thought it was a stray cat or stray dog, and was brought from an animal shelter. The corpse of a cat and dog who was euthanized because no one adopted it. Is it actually another thing? After all, it is easy to leak news. Once it is revealed by the mouthful animal shelter employees, it is likely to be criticized by thousands of people.

Could that be some kind of wild animal—some kind of wild animal that can be used as both a coyote prey and dog food ingredients?
