People who immigrated to the Falkland Islands believed that the Falkland wolves would pose a threat to the sheep they raised, so they organized large-scale poisoning and shooting of the Falkland wolves.
In addition, people on the Falkland Islands at that time cut down a large number of trees, leaving the Falkland Islands wolves hiding in the woods with no place to hide, so the Falkland Islands wolves quickly became extinct in just over a hundred years.
In fact, because the Falkland wolves have lived in the dangerous Falkland Islands for a long time, they have no natural enemies of their own, lack competitors and predators, so they are very docile, just like pet dogs.
The British Museum still preserves video footage of humans killing wolves in the Falkland Islands.
One of the videos shows a foreign child holding a piece of turkey in one hand to attract a Falkland Islands wolf to eat it, while in the other hand he holds a dagger and stabs it directly into the belly of the Falkland Islands wolf.
The Falkland wolf chose to flee in pain instead of attacking the foreign child.
In 1868, the last Falkland Islands wolf was brought to the London Zoo, but it died just a few years later.
Since then, the birth of the Falkland wolf has become a geographical and biological mystery.
"What do you think we should do with this Falkland wolf? Can we sell it if we take it back?" Gao Chuang pondered as he gently rubbed his red nose from the cold.
"I think it's the dean of the School of Biology at the Maritime University. How about I give him a call and ask him?" Xiang Yang asked tentatively.
If Xiang Yang himself obtained something like this that has scientific research value, he generally would not sell it.
But this time, the Falkland Islands wolf was discovered by foreigners and obtained by Gao Chuang. It was difficult for Xiang Yang to intervene in how to deal with it. If Gao Chuang didn't ask, Xiang Yang wouldn't even open his mouth.
Gao Chuang was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Then you can call and ask. I have a satellite phone."
Xiang Yang thanked Gao Chuang, then moved directly to Gao Chuang's camp and dialed teacher Chen Yu's number using a satellite phone.
When Teacher Chen Yu heard that Xiang Yang had discovered a Falkland Islands wolf, he was very excited at first, and even his voice changed. But then he heard that the Falkland Islands wolf was dead and an ice sculpture, his voice immediately became disappointed. He only told him to leave the specimen in Yanlong Village later, and he would find time to visit Yanlong Village then, and that was all.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yang thought to himself that it seemed that the research value of the Falklands wolf was not very great.
What Xiang Yang didn’t know was that although the Falklands wolf was extinct, many of them were made into specimens because they looked so good.
To date, scientists and biologists have studied everything that can be studied about the Falkland Islands wolf. As for the ones below, there is no way to learn anything more by having one more specimen.
However, Gao Chuang was very excited when he knew that Teacher Chen Yu would go to Yanlong Village in person, and repeatedly asked Xiang Yang to notify him in advance when Teacher Chen Yu went there.
After another two days, the foreigners finally managed to drill a hole in the ice cave.
However, before the foreigner could put the trap down, the leading foreigner started screaming again, this time in a foreign language, which Xiang Yang could not understand.
"Hey, what are you shouting?" Gao Chuang asked the foreigner.
"I just saw two puppies under this ice cave." The foreigner said in broken English, somewhat frightened but steady.
"Milk dog? That's absolutely impossible." Xiang Yang denied it immediately.
Fang Youqun also muttered quietly, "Why does this foreign devil always see such strange things?"
Xiang Yang glared at Fang Youqun and said, "Shut up."
Then Xiang Yang walked towards the direction of the foreigner, "Where are those two puppies? Let me see."
"Right under that ice cave, they seem to be smiling at me." The foreigner was still frightened and calm. He pointed at the ice cave from a distance and did not dare to get close.
Xiang Yang was quite speechless. This foreigner, even a captain, was so courageous.
Let Xiang Yang walk to the edge of the ice cave and look down.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yang was stunned. There were indeed two dog heads, one big and one small, staring at the ice cave.
But Xiang Yang was stunned not because he was shocked, but because he was surprised, "I actually saw the Antarctic sea lion."
The Antarctic sea lion is not a true sea lion, it is actually a fur seal, the largest species of fur seal, able to grow up to two meters in length and weigh more than 200 kilograms.
This is a very cute creature. It has a face like a puppy and is a top diver.
The deepest dive recorded for Antarctic sea lions is 1,000 feet.
Xiang Yang shouted to Gao Chuang who was not far away: "Boss Gao, come and see, there are two Antarctic sea lions under the water, and one of them is golden."
Not far away, Gao Chuang was looking over here. He was a person who believed in metaphysics, so when he first saw that the foreigner looked frightened but calm, he didn't come over to see him.
Now after hearing Xiang Yang's true appearance of the two creatures under the water, he immediately walked over here, "There's actually a golden one, let me take a look."
Gao Chuang has seen Antarctic sea lions many times. It is a creature that Gao Chuang does not like very much. This creature is also not afraid of people. It has sharp claws and teeth and likes to bite ground traps or fishing nets.
But Gao Chuang had never seen the golden Antarctic sea lion.
The golden color of the Antarctic sea lion is not congenital, nor is it caused by a genetic mutation, but is an incomplete albinism, commonly known as albino.
Antarctic sea lions with this disease look no different from normal sea lions, but their fur is a more beautiful golden color. It is estimated that only one in thousands of Antarctic sea lions will suffer from this albinism.
"Let me take a look." Gao Chuang shone the flashlight towards the bottom of the ice cave, but he himself was far away from the entrance.
Although the Antarctic sea lion looks very cute, anyone who has dealt with it would not want to deal with it a second time.
Because Antarctic sea lions are probably the stinkiest creatures in the world.
The bad smell of Antarctic sea lions basically all comes from bad breath.
Although Antarctic sea lions only eat krill, their breath odor is ten thousand times worse than that of normal fur seals. There are bacteria everywhere in their mouths, and they can pollute the water in a well just by spitting out saliva. Because of their bad breath, seals are unwilling to eat them. Sometimes, seals bite Antarctic sea lions to death and throw the bodies on the ice at random without eating them at all.
