  After cleaning, the two pure white ferrets changed their appearance, showing a very different coat color from before.

  Qin Shiou used a hair dryer to dry the hair of the two little guys. Suddenly, two naive little ferrets appeared in front of him.

  After washing off the dye from the fur, the hair color on the head and back of the two ferrets was light yellow, the color of the abdomen was similar but lighter, and the eye circles were dark brown, like giant pandas.

  In addition, their mouths are snow white, while the limbs and the middle of the tail are black, as if they were wearing black boots.

Qin Shiou dried their hair. The two little guys lay docilely in his palms, his big eyes gurgling and turning, revealing a sense of cleverness, while a vague sound of "yah yeah" in his throat, like a child acting like a baby Rubbed his head against his thumb.

Seeing the true faces of these two little guys, Black Dao exclaimed: "God, it's really black-footed ferrets! Where did these guys get these little babies? These are truly endangered animals, this one. It is worth at least one million dollars!"

  Qin Shiou searched the internet for information on this animal. It turned out that, despite the fact that family-bred ferrets are so popular in North America, the black-footed ferret is the only ferret that is truly native to this continent.

  Compared with their close relatives, black-footed ferrets have a smoother fur, a sharper feel, a cuter appearance and a sharper predation ability.

  But the cause of their nearly genocide is not their fur or appearance, but their food.

  In its heyday, there were a large number of black-footed ferrets, widely distributed in southern Canada. And along the Rocky Mountains eastward to the vast areas of Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska in the United States, they can be seen.

  That area is also the famous prairie zone of the North American continent, where many mice and prairie dogs are active, and these two small animals happen to be the favorites of black-footed ferrets.

  But. These two animals also happen to be mortal enemies of the ranchers, especially the prairie dogs, which like to gnaw on the roots of pastures and live in groups. Often a population of several thousand prairie dogs can destroy dozens of hectares of pasture.

  In the last century, in order to eliminate this kind of rodent that has a destructive effect on the pasture, ranchers put a lot of poisonous bait to exterminate the prairie dogs.

  This trick is very useful. The prairie dogs have been wiped out. At the same time, the black-footed ferrets, which use them as their main food source, have also suffered. The number dropped sharply, and in the 1970s, the genocide of this cute little creature was announced in the wild in Canada.

  Fortunately, the black-footed ferret family is endless. In the mid-1980s, an American biologist coincidentally discovered a small population of about 120 black-footed ferrets in Wyoming.

  For a biological population, the number of 120 is not too small, and it can multiply to thousands of them after a few years of good protection. Then there are tens of thousands, and then you can take off the endangered brand.

Unfortunately, in 1985, the black-footed ferret population had two consecutive outbreaks of disease, and in the end 18 survived. If the biologists hadn’t done it early, these 18 would not survive, so that people’s protection measures could be reduced. Of course it's gone.

  Using these 18 ferrets as female parents, plus advanced technologies such as test-tube babies and freezing fertilized eggs, American scientists finally saved this biological species. But because it is not a wild population. The vitality and reproductive ability of these ferrets are very poor, and there are only about 500 in number until now.

  I don’t know where the people like Benson got the two little black-footed ferrets. The black knife quoted just now was actually a bit conservative, this kind of little animal. One is more than one million dollars.

  You should know that the black-footed ferret is a rarer animal than the giant panda. China can now send giant pandas to other countries for diplomacy, but Americans are reluctant to use black-footed ferrets as diplomatic mascots.

  That, how much is the panda in the black market now? Black-footed ferrets will only be more expensive!

  This kind of little things are not much worse than giant pandas in appearance, especially now that they are small and tender, with fluffy flesh rolling, Qin Shiou was conquered by their appearance after only getting along for a while.

   is really cute!

It’s a pity that these two little guys are two nuclear bombs that can run. The Americans will make a complete file of each newly born black-footed ferret, including their coat color, genes, and physical characteristics. They will never One is missing.

It is estimated that the Americans have now discovered that they have lost two black-footed ferrets. No wonder Benson and others were so afraid when they called themselves Rangers. In order to find a pair of black-footed ferrets, the Americans might indeed send elite rangers. Troops!

  If Qin Shiou left the pair of little ferrets privately, when the Americans caught Benson and others to figure out the situation, he would probably be sent directly to court. At that time, his status as a militia would not be able to keep him.

  In the United States, black-footed ferrets are protected animals that are prohibited from transportation, trading, and private breeding. The protection is greater than that of the bald eagle, because the number is too small.

  Qin Shiou caressed the two little ferrets. When controlling them with the Seagod consciousness just now, he smoothly input some Seagod energy. The two little guys are now full of attachment to him, and they lie down in his arms honestly.

   took the ferret on the deck, Qin Shiou looked at Benson and his group and smiled: "What did I just say? You continue to be arrogant, huh? Why are you not arrogant anymore?"

  The fishermen obviously knew the black-footed ferrets, they gathered around and watched in surprise for a while, and then it was their turn to be arrogant:

   "Damn, I don't need to understand the law while studying. Who can tell me what crime is for privately trafficking black-footed ferrets?"

   "Haha, if you are caught by an American, you can shoot it directly in private."

   "It's awesome, how did you get the black-footed ferret? I think it's harder to steal this thing from the Americans than it is to steal gold from Citibank?"

Looking at the little ferret, Benson and the others turned pale, and the brown-haired young man said with trembling lips, "Ship, captain, they found it! What should we do? They found the black-footed ferret! We're done, will we? Was beaten to death?"

Benson ignored the frightened companions around him. He looked worried and shouted at Qin Shiou: "Who asked you to bathe them? Did you wash them off with water?"

  Qin Shiou stunned: "What's wrong with bathing them with water?"

Benson stood up to meet him, and exclaimed angrily: "Do you know what is smeared on them? God! God! These two little guys are done... Hurry, take it! Take it, or else It's too late!"

  Qin Shiou didn't understand what Benson meant, but subconsciously felt that he had made a mistake, so he handed the little ferret to him.

  But Benson turned around and ran when he got the little ferret, and ran to the side of the boat in three steps in two steps and threw the little ferret into the sea... (to be continued~^~)
