<=""></> "Not a tiger?"
"Yes, this is not a tiger, this is a liger!" James explained, "I bought a liger cub from the Australian National Zoo. It is harmless."
Of course it was not harmful. Wang Bo looked at this little beast pitifully. This guy was almost beaten to death. It was dripping with blood and had not yet breathed out. It had not opened its eyes since it was dug out.
This was the first time he saw a magical beast like a liger. His understanding of it was limited to junior high school biology textbooks. This animal is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. It is said that it can grow to be larger than a liger. At half the size, it is the largest cat in the world.
This kind of animal should not be leaked to the outside world. Wang Bo looked at James suspiciously and asked: "Did you really buy this? New Zealand allows private breeding of ligers?"
James respected Wang Bo very much as his savior. His family had all been rescued, and digging out the liger was the last rescue point, so he answered patiently: "You know, Mr. Wang , we Maoris have some special preferential treatment in the country, and wild animal breeding is allowed."
Sheriff Smith knew more about this. He explained to Wang Bo: "At the beginning of independence, the New Zealand government made special legislation for two categories of people. The first category is old nobles like the Roberts family, who can maintain their territory; The second category is Maori, who can maintain the living traditions passed down from ancient times."
Maori are similar to Indians. They are all indigenous people in the New World. They have a reverence for wild beasts, and some wild beasts are even their beliefs.
The independent government of New Zealand introduced such a policy at the time to make up for the harm done to the Maori natives by British and French immigrants. However, the original intention of this policy was to allow the Maori natives to breed large dogs.
As a result, as the Maori people gradually became rich, they were not satisfied with raising dogs and began to raise wild beasts such as wolves, tigers, lions and leopards. Because of policy protection, ligers could be farmed by the Maori people.
James is the largest wealthy man in the Maori settlement of Wanderer Town, and he breeds many wild animals in his yard.
The rescue workers all saw the liger cubs for the first time, and they all came to watch. When Sheriff Smith saw that this was not going to work, he said to James: "Move your monster to a more hidden place. Damn it, I don’t want to delay the rescue work!”
James said with a grimace: "Where is there any hiding place here? Just bury it. Look, it is almost dead. It will definitely not survive."
After hearing this, Lao Wang, who was studying the liger, was moved in his heart. He said tentatively: "Maybe we can rescue it. Is there no veterinarian here? The liger is very precious. It would be a pity if it died. Bar?"
The probability of a lion and a tiger falling in love and becoming pregnant is extremely low. Even in a captive environment, the chance of pregnancy between a tiger and a lion is only 5% to 10%. Due to congenital deficiencies and other reasons, the survival rate of cubs is only about one in 10,000. Currently, there are only about a thousand ligers alive in the world.
James is really a rich man. He waved his hands indifferently and said: "It's just a beast, just let it die. But it's really a pity. I spent 800,000 New Zealand dollars when I bought it!"
After hearing this, Wang Bo immediately said: "How about this, man, this liger doesn't look like it can survive anyway, how about I buy it?"
James and Sheriff Smith both looked at him in surprise. Lao Wang quickly explained: "That's right, you may not know that we Chinese like big cats like tigers and lions very much, but I definitely can't keep such beasts. So I can buy this liger, and if it dies, I can make it into a specimen<="l">."
This is of course an excuse. His real purpose is to use the powerful healing ability of the Nest Heart to revive the liger, and then give it a Soul Heart to make it a gimmick in the town!
Live ligers are rare, and there are probably very few in New Zealand. If there is such a precious beast in a small town, it will definitely attract the attention of many people.
His explanation was reasonable. James waved his hand generously and said, "Since you want the specimen, just take it with you. I won't charge you any money."
Wang Bo thanked him, but insisted: "That's not okay, James, I can't take advantage of you. Your family has suffered a natural disaster, and now is the time when you need money. I bought this liger, which can be regarded as supporting your family reconstruction. .”
The surrounding Maori people were moved by Lao Wang's chivalrous heart. James came up and gave him a hug and said with admiration: "Wang, you are such a good guy!"
"How about one hundred thousand yuan?"
"No, fifty thousand is enough! A living liger is only worth eight hundred thousand, how can a dead one be worth one hundred thousand?"
Wang Bo insisted on paying 100,000. After all, Sheriff Smith was required to be a witness, and they made a purchase contract.
The reason why he did this was to reduce future disputes. With the powerful healing ability of the Heart of the Nest, as long as this liger cub does not die before reaching the castle, it will definitely survive unharmed in the future. In this case , he was worried that without the constraints of the contract, James would regret it.
After the contract was signed, the half-dead liger cub belonged to Lao Wang.
In fact, for ordinary people, raising ligers is not a wise choice. Regardless of the fact that its parents are male lions and tigers, the natural overlords, ligers have very low survivability, low IQ, and lack of attack. sex.
Based on Lao Wang's understanding of ligers, even if there was no earthquake, the ligers would not survive.
After getting the liger, Wang Bo immediately directed a group of his men to carefully move it to the back seat of the Predator. After being tossed around by them, the half-dead little beast was even less alive.
Lying on the cushion of the seat, the little liger shed clear tears from its closed eyes, as if mourning its sad and difficult fate.
Wang Bo wanted to take the little beast back to the castle quickly, but there were more important disaster relief work at present, and the looters were blocked on the road. More rescue teams arrived, and Wanderer Town, the epicenter of the earthquake, was surrounded.
Of course, the major media arrived faster, including Reuters, Agence France-Presse, New Zealand National Radio, and even TV's New Zealand branch. All large media with offices in New Zealand sent people there as soon as possible.
Lao Wang took care of the little liger and drank some warm milk. At this time, someone came to him. He thought he wanted to let the strong man work, so he said: "Wait for me, man, and let my child rest for a while."
The man said: "No, Wang, there is a reporter who wants to interview you and your dog!"
