Super Zoo

China has 129 Guinness World Records so far. Every time a new record is created, all media will hype it up for a while, especially in recent years, with the development of the Internet. Every time a record is created, it will spread all over the country immediately, and hundreds of millions of people will know it quickly.

However, it seems that there has never been a Guinness record that has been hyped up before it is created.

The giant salamander in Yangchuan Zoo seems to have broken this rule, at least, within the scope of Yangchuan City.

The day after Su Ming and Murong Yan talked on the phone, some posts about giant salamanders appeared on the Yangchuan Forum one after another.

The first posts were some common travel notes.

Nowadays, in the Yangchuan Forum, 70% to 80% of the local travel notes are about the zoo, such as lucky cats, mountain-sized alligator turtles, baby finless porpoises, super big fish, etc., almost occupying the entire page.

The original relatively deserted "Yangchuan Tourism" special edition has become lively because of this.

If it were a different company, the forum members would have been impatient if all the travel notes about the company were flooding the forum all day, and they would definitely think that it was a commercial promotion by the Internet trolls. But the zoo is different, with new things happening one after another, and they are all rare new things in decades. For example, riding a fish is the first time in the world.

The key is that it is close to them. If someone doesn't believe it, spend two yuan to take the bus to the zoo and experience it yourself, and you will know what this is true.

The first travel notes were attached with some photos of giant salamanders. There was a brave guy who somehow broke through the security blockade and lay one meter away from the salamander. He also stretched out two fingers to make a V shape and took a photo.

In the photo, the salamander is longer than the person taking the photo! Salamanders are very common, but salamanders that are this big are almost like spirits. Ordinary people have never heard of them in their lives!

Later, someone uploaded a short video. In the video, the giant salamander changed its image of "gentle and cute" in the minds of the public. It showed a ferocious face, and its big mouth full of fangs bit off a thick branch with a snap!

These days, ordinary people want something strange and like excitement! If you find a crocodile to bite off a branch, it will definitely not make people think it's a big deal, but a giant salamander as big as a crocodile did this, which simply subverted everyone's cognition!

It's not uncommon for a wolf to bite a sheep to death, but if it's a sheep, it will bite off the neck of another sheep with a snap, which is definitely explosive news!

This short video was immediately circulated by all parties, not to mention the circle of friends, and several major domestic websites also reprinted it. In just two or three days, it achieved good clicks.

At this time, Yangchuan TV station launched a special program called "This Zoo is Not Ordinary" at a very timely time.

The reporter for this program was Nangong Yan, the new star of Yangchuan TV Station. The assistant director of Yangchuan Zoo, Comrade Su Ming, who was in charge of animals, accompanied the crew to the entire zoo and report on the latest happenings in the zoo.

There were not only lucky cats and riding fish, but there were so many things to report in the zoo. Even some things that Su Ming considered to be "second-tier" attracted more viewers' attention than most news!

"The zoo has always been concerned about the release of captive animals into the wild. This little wolf is called Huiya. It has successfully lived in the back mountain for a period of time and has begun to adapt to survival in the wild..."

"Yes, as the audience has seen, the most unique monkey in the monkey mountain is the symbol of Yangchuan City, the Qinling golden monkey that has not been discovered for many years. As for why golden monkeys can live with macaques, is there any need to ask? Animals also need to build a harmonious society. Different types of monkeys love each other, eat fruits together, and have wives together... Uh... Director, please delete this sentence in the post-production..."

"Let me clarify that the sentence "Look at your sister" was not said by me, but by these two macaws! Here, I would like to call on tourists and friends to visit the park in a civilized manner, especially in front of parrots, don't say swear words, like me, teach them civilized language, say "Hello handsome guy"... Damn, you two are still If you dare to scold me, I will strip you of your hair! Uh... Director, delete this sentence too..."

"Under the care of provincial and municipal leaders, and with the strong support of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the zoo is about to build a small aquarium for the Yangtze River dolphins to live in, and it will also be open to tourists... By the way, the giant salamander known as the 'bandit' on the Internet will become a neighbor of the Yangtze River dolphin family!"

Nangong Yan asked at the right time: "I heard that you found the 'bandit' in the mountains, and you are preparing to apply for the Guinness World Record for it, is that right?"

Su Ming nodded: "Yes! I have good news for everyone. My application has been approved. This Saturday morning, Guinness will send a special certification officer to the zoo for on-site certification. At that time, the zoo will be open for free for one day. All citizens and media friends are welcome to come and witness the birth of a new world record!"

Three days later!

In the middle of the largest lawn in the zoo, a temporary platform was set up, with a bright banner hanging on the platform, and the words 'World's Largest Wild Salamander' fluttering in the wind.

In the center of the platform, there is a transparent aquarium several meters long, and a giant salamander is lying on the pebbles at the bottom of the tank.

Under Su Ming's deliberate instructions, the giant salamander shook its head at the tourists around it, opened its mouth from time to time, showing its fangs, and put on a ferocious look, which scared some timid girls to scream in low voices.

The best seats in the audience were occupied by the media who came after hearing the news. More than a dozen media formed a semicircle in the audience.

However, the sound of these professional media shooting was completely drowned out by the noise of tourists on the lawn behind. Behind the media team, there were huge crowds of tourists.

Today is the weekend, most citizens are resting, the zoo is free, and you can witness the birth of a world record with your own eyes. This opportunity doesn't come every day!

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet!"

A strange and sharp voice sounded from the loudspeaker on the stage!

Huh! Instead of being quiet, the audience burst into a good-natured laugh. Wang Jianshe and Director Song, who were sitting in the "leader" seats at the back of the stage, couldn't help laughing.

Su Ming stood behind the loudspeaker, but he was not the one who spoke.

On his left and right, there were two round stools, each with a half-meter-tall macaw standing on it. The sentence just now was said by the little parrot on the left.

After the little parrot finished speaking, she shrank her neck and made way. The big parrot on the right immediately leaned over and came to the speaker, saying in a strange voice: "Now, please welcome Mr. Zhao, the Guinness certification officer, to come on stage!"
