"Bear thing! None of them are good! Old Wei, come and take a picture for me, how about this posture!" The fat boss is not stupid. He knew that his plan had not succeeded as soon as he heard Hong Tao's words, and he was no match for Hong Tao in a quarrel.
He simply cursed and went to find Wei Han again, twisting his body back and forth in front of the bison, trying to strike a more powerful posture to take a photo with his prey.
Everyone in the hunting team was very happy to get an African bison. From their words, Hong Tao also heard that this bison is really one of the five most difficult or valuable preys in the eyes of African hunters.
Commonly known as BIG5.
Being able to catch a BIG5 on the first day out is not only a matter of luck, but also a matter of work intensity for those who accompany the hunt. This hunting team has a total of 7 black employees, plus one
Counting the forest police, two Maasai magic cards, and these three hunting guides, there were 13 people playing with Hong Tao and the others.
If they never encounter big prey like BIG5 that is clearly stipulated in the contract, then they will have to accompany Hong Tao and the others to search on the grassland. Therefore, these staff members were even happier than Hong Tao and the others after successfully hunting a BIG5.
This means that their work intensity and time have been greatly reduced. Who doesn’t want to make more money and work less.
The customers were happy, and so were the staff. The only unlucky thing was the old male bison, but who could care about what it thought now. Everyone happily gathered around the bison's body to take photos, except for the two technicians.
Apart from the cards, these two Maasai hunters don't like taking photos or videos very much. Unless you give them enough property to make them tempted, you have to make them happy.
Hong Tao and the others didn't need to worry about the rest of the work. After asking them their opinions on whether the bison should be taxidermied and receiving a clear answer that they didn't need it, several black people accompanying them immediately took out their large knives and small knives, and it took less than ten minutes.
So I divided this bison, which was as tall as a person and weighed nearly 800 kilograms, into N small pieces.
Of course, the cow head and cowhide were left intact. The cowhide boss Liu planned to make a handicraft called leather carving in Africa, which is also a handicraft of some local tribes. The cow head was left behind by the fat boss, although he looked down on bison.
He had an ordinary appearance, but he was very fond of the two large horns that curved upward on the cow's head. He planned to make a pendant from the cow's head to take back home.
In addition to the black employees in the hunting team who showed their superb butchering skills to Hong Tao and the guests who came from afar, the actions of the two Maasai Shuka who always kept a certain distance from everyone also made Hong Tao and others
It was frightening to see.
Just before the black employees slaughtered the bison, the two Shuka performed a dance around the bison. In fact, Hong Tao has always been somewhat envious and jealous of the black people's innate sense of music, rhythm and body coordination, but
To be honest, the dancing of these two is not good at all.
Hong Tao, the dance of the local tribe, is not that new. It has been performed countless times in TV and movies. It is nothing more than a way of celebrating, offering sacrifices, and boosting morale. Hong Tao also has a few artistic talents. For these,
Nothing interesting.
But what they did next was beyond the expectations of Hong Tao and the others. After the two Shuka danced for a few minutes, they stopped, then reached out and pulled out a withered yellow grass stick from the grass next to them.
He quickly cut it into a half-foot-long piece, and then held it in his mouth.
"What is this for? A straw?" Hong Tao was thinking at the time.
Hong Tao's guess was really accurate this time. The straw stick was really used as a straw by the two magicians. However, they did not use it to suck water or drinks, but to suck blood!
The two Shukas held straw sticks in their mouths and lay on the neck of the cow. They used the heads of their javelins to cut a small incision on the neck of the bison, then inserted the straw into it and sucked the blood of the bison.
"Yerong, what are they doing? They're still sucking blood!" Hong Tao asked his guide uneasily as he watched Shuka's Adam's apple moving and the red liquid flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
"Don't be afraid, this is their eating habit. The Shukas among the Maasai are all excellent hunters on the grassland. When they reach adulthood, they need to hunt a lion alone before they can put on that red coat.
The cloak has officially become Shuka." Holland saw the look in Hong Tao's eyes and knew what he was worried about, so he explained Shuka's unusual behavior to him in a low voice.
"What does this have to do with blood-sucking?" Hong Tao had no time to listen to the Masai people's coming-of-age ceremony at this time. He just wanted to find out whether these two magic cards could suck human blood.
"But the Maasai rarely hunt animals. They are more of a nomadic people than a hunting people. The skills they have developed are not to hunt animals, but to protect their cattle.
The Maasai people use cattle as their main food, and they raise a lot of
Duo Niu almost lives on beef and milk. Apart from these, they eat almost nothing else, even vegetables." Holland seemed to deliberately go around Hong Tao, and did not mention anything about sucking blood.
Instead, it talked about a lot of the living habits of the Maasai people.
"I'm asking about blood-sucking!" Hong Tao emphasized his question again.
"When they usually go out to herd cattle, they don't bring drinking water. If they are thirsty, they use a knife to make a small incision on the cow, and then stick it in with a straw stick to drink the cow's blood. It's that simple. Don't worry, they will never
It can drink the blood of other animals, let alone human blood. But I have to mention
Wake up to you and your companions. If you encounter Maasai people elsewhere, please do not abuse or insult cattle. That is very dangerous. They will regard you as enemies and the consequences will be serious. This is the biggest problem here.
Taboo." Holland piss finally answered Hong Tao's question.
"Uncle Fatty, don't worry. They only drink cow blood as drinking water and will not drink the blood of other animals." Boss Liu and Fatty Boss also had the same concerns as Hong Tao. When Hong Tao asked Ye Rong these questions
Sometimes, they stretched their necks to listen, even though they couldn't understand.
When the hunting team set out again to walk towards the vehicle, where the old bison fell there was only a skeleton with some meat hanging on it and a pool of cow blood that had seeped into the sand, and these things were not there.
Will stay here for a long time.
Just before Hong Tao and the others left, there were already several black shadows hovering in the sky. They were the cleaners in Africa. Comrade Vultures had discovered the cow bones below. They were just the vanguard, and they would soon be there.
A large number of vultures flew in, and soon all the flesh on the skeleton would be torn away by their hard beaks.
Along with the vultures, semi-scavengers such as hyenas and hyenas can also come to have a meal. Guys like hyenas have teeth like a hydraulic press, and they can crush and suck thick cow leg bones.
After they clean up the bone marrow inside the skeleton, various ants and carnivorous beetles will take over their positions and continue to attack the pile of skeletons until they have squeezed out the last bit of tissue and oil from the bones before they are complete.
Final cleanup.
This is an ecological cycle. The death of each animal can bring benefits to many other animals, and there will not be any waste. They will all enter the cycle again, and so on, creating this magical savannah in Africa.
.
But human beings cannot be inserted in the middle. Human beings can only take, not contribute. If humans enter this cycle, they will occupy the highest point of the cycle and cut off the cycle. When humans reach it, everything will be like Pixiu, which can only go in but cannot get out.
, all species below the loop receive no benefit.
As for whether Hong Tao's current behavior counts as intervening in the cycle, strictly speaking, it does! It doesn't count! If humans cannot control their own nature, sooner or later these animals will disappear. There are various kinds of animals in the world now
Conservation organizations and many national governments have also realized that they can no longer hunt animals unscrupulously and destroy the environment they rely on to survive.
