　　好莱坞的动物警察喜剧《疯狂动物城》继续占领中国票房，本周收入超过8亿2千4百万元，同样在社交媒体，三趾树懒“闪电侠”和一对狐狸也大开公众的脑洞。

　　Depicted as an inefficient government worker in Disney’s latest animation hit, which openedon March 4, Flash shot to stardom in China’s online communities.

　　网上出现了至少9种树懒说话的方言版本视频，还有该角色的动画“表情”也纷纷在微信上分享。

　　“树懒‘闪电侠’抢了两个主角的戏了！”微博用户“乐乐天天”说，据新华网报道。

　　动画片的两个角色——骗子尼克·王尔德，一只红狐，和爱发牢骚的芬尼克，一只耳廓狐，促使大家萌生饲养念头，在电商平台搜索狐狸作为宠物购买。

　　Pet traders are reportedly peddling the nocturnal fennec foxes on some shopping sites, withprices ranging from 25,000 yuan to 40,000 yuan each.

　　据报道，一些宠物商家在购物网站上兜售这些夜行性耳廓狐，每只价格从2万5千到4万元不等。

　　One online trader said he sold a pair of the small North African desert foxes on Tuesday, according to a Huaxi Metropolis Daily report.

　　一位网上商家说他在周二卖出了一对小型北美沙漠狐，据华西都市日报报道。

　　Li Hui, an expert at the Chengdu Changle Wildlife Breeding and Rescue Center, told China Daily that most of the foxes found on the pet market are captured in the wild or raised at fox breeding farms, mainlyin North China.

　　成都长乐野生动物繁育场的专家李辉告诉中国日报记者，宠物店的狐狸大部分都是从野外捕捉或者从狐狸养殖场养殖的，主要来自中国北方。

　　"Red foxes and silver foxes are among the most important fur-bearing animals harvested by the fur trade," Li said. "They are not commercially domesticated, often not vaccinated and can be dangerous."

　　“红狐和银狐是皮毛行业最重要的皮毛动物之一，”李辉说，“他们并不被用于商业家养，通常不接种疫苗，饲养是危险的。”

　　Fennec foxes are under the State’s level-two protection, and there are complicated processes to get a permit to import and keep these animals, according to a report in Beijing News.

　　耳廓狐是国家二级保护动物，进口和饲养这些动物需要通过复杂的程序，据北京新闻报道。

　　"It’s extremely difficult to get and raise the fox legally," Li said.

　　“合法饲养狐狸是极其困难的，”李辉说。

　　The main obstacle for pet lovers who want to raise such exotic house pets as foxes is that the country has neither an industry for domesticating them, nor a management and supervisionsystem.

　　宠物爱好者饲养这些奇异的狐狸的主要障碍是，国家既没有一个行业驯化它们，也没有监管系统。

　　"You’d better be careful of your purchase," he said.

　　“你最好当心你的购买，”李辉说。
