Pet King

v1 Chapter 1112: hunting

This time, I was carrying a lot of things, heavier, and pets, so calling a taxi would be troublesome. After lunch, Wang Qian drove Wuling Hongguang to Zhang Zi'an to Binhai Airport.

"Master, would you help me move things in? Wouldn't it be inconvenient for me to be alone?" Wang Gan asked.

The statue of the cat **** is too heavy, in addition to Zhang Zi'an's own luggage, drone suitcase, accessories suitcase, gimbal camera suitcase, and a small bag with an infrared trigger camera, all unloaded from the car, piled up As a small mountain of luggage, it is a headache to watch. In any case, it is impossible to move in all at once, left unattended outside, and stolen by others. Not to mention Zhang Zi'an also has to go through the pet check-in procedures of Feimas.

Zhang Zi'an glanced around and said, "It's okay, you go back. Someone is here to answer me."

Wang Qian poked his head out of the car window and saw a middle-aged and old man in simple clothes walking towards this side with three fat young men, who were Professor Wei Kang and his three men. disciple. They went one step ahead and knew that Zhang Zi'an had a lot of luggage. He He, the only female disciple, was responsible for guarding the luggage in the terminal. Four of them came to answer.

"Well, that Master takes care of you and goes all the way." Wang Qian waved his hand and drove Wuling Hongguang back to the pet shop.

Wei Kang and others walked in front of Zhang Zi'an, but the four of them didn't look at him with eight eyes, but stared at Fina in unison. That look made Zhang Zi'an want to say--don't look into the eyes and pull out ... ...

Not only them, but other passengers who arrived at the airport also paid special attention to Fina, firstly because it was too rare to bring cats to the airport and not in cages, and secondly because Fina's fur and markings were too rare.

Fina yawned lazily, and was accustomed to such eyes, as long as she didn't get started, everything was easy to say.

"Oh!"

Wei Kang exchanged glances with several disciples. Although he didn't do a complete inspection, at least 80% of them were sure. This is a living fossil that occupies a key position in domestic cat domestication history. It is located in the African desert wild cat and modern domestic cats. transitional phase.

The "Nature" magazine mentioned that the British Ashmore Museum has a tomb mural from Thebes in ancient Egypt. The picture shows a cat enjoying fresh fish under the seat of the hostess. Yes, the pattern on this cat is very different from the spotted block pattern on modern Egyptian cats and is called mackerel pattern.

Zhang Zi'an told Wei Kang that they moved the capital of Thebes to ancient Egypt in 2000 BC, and the capital was Memphis earlier, so this mural is less than 4,000 years old.

Where is the transition between speck and mackerel pattern in the long 4000 years?

However, Fina has both mackerel prints and spots, which are paradoxical to modern Egyptian cats in terms of appearance. Everything seems to indicate its mystery and extraordinary origin.

It is definitely wrong to say that it is a wild cat, but it is not a modern Egyptian cat, so Wei Kang and others think that even if it is not a primitive Egyptian cat, it must be very close.

In the past, because Zhang Zi'an clearly stated that he did not want to send Fina as a scientific sample and did not agree to a visit from the Department of Biology of Binhai University, Wei Kang had to adopt the curve of saving the country and observe Fina through video.

Where did the video come from? Of course, it is a clip taken from Xiao Xue's live video. When she shows the whole picture of the pet store to the audience with her mobile phone, Fina will always be shocked.

A collection of video clips and screenshots became the first-hand source of Wei Kang's research.

However, after all, aren't the videos and screenshots particularly clear?

Wei Kang and three disciples were here to pick up Zhang Zi'an, but now he was hanging aside and arguing around Fina arguing about how much the coat color of this mackerel pattern and spots was most primitive. Representative of Egyptian cat?

Wei Kang focuses on academics and is a very good speaker. Although Xiao Tianyu and Gao Ke are not motivated to learn, they are willing to argue and throw out wild speculations to prove that they are still learning.

"Teacher, I think, the mixed pattern of mackerel pattern and spots will not appear too late, otherwise it is not conducive to the spread of primitive Egyptian cats to Eurasia, so I think that such patterns should appear ... 3500 years ago Left and right. "Xiao Tianyu said. As for how this 3500 year came, of course, he came up with it temporarily.

"No." Wei Kang shook his head. "In the new dynasty, that is, 3500 to 3000 years ago, another grave mural was unearthed. The mural depicts the ancient Egyptians hiking and hunting with cats ..."

"What? Hiking and hunting with cats?" Gao Ke also interrupted Wei Kang hilariously ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Shouldn't hunting bring dogs? What can a cat do? "

Gao Ke's words had obvious discrimination against cats, and Fina gave him an angry look, but unfortunately he didn't raise a cat, and he didn't realize it, and thought it was good for him.

Wei Kang also glared at him, hating iron and saying, "Cats are born hunters, especially good at catching birds and fish in swamps and wetlands. These areas are not good for dogs. How did your previous creatures learn of……"

Gao Ke looked at Wei Kang and talked about it again, and quickly argued: "No, I don't mean it, I mean ... cats are indeed born hunters, but they eat them when they catch the prey, and take the cat with them. Hunting, and the cat was full, and the owner was hungry ... Hmm? This cat doesn't seem happy? "

When he pulled away, he finally found that Fina's eyes weren't right, her hair was swollen, and her ears became the ears of the plane. No matter how bad his biology is, after all, he studied cat evolution with his mentor, and it seems that it is a vague signal that the cat is about to launch an attack.

Zhang Zi'an didn't want to have a **** airport tragedy before he set off, so he didn't dare to watch melon eat, and interjected: "You're wrong, haven't you ever raised a cat? These are all based on impression and hearsay Did you say that? "

Gao Kegan coughed, "There is no plan to raise a cat ..."

In order to appease Fina's mood, Zhang Zi'an explained before waiting for him to say: "The dog will carry the prey back to the owner, and the cat will, as long as you have a better relationship with the cat when the cat catches it outside What insects, birds, mice, or other small animals will bring their prey back to you ... Of course, modern people may not need these prey, and even see the **** small animal carcasses feel sick, but this is enough to prove that cats Capable of hunting. "
