Bi Fang was stunned for a moment and stared at the spider the size of a fingernail in his palm for a long time.
emmmm.
It's big even if it's big. Spiders larger than one centimeter are indeed rare in cities. They can only be found in rural areas. In the shadows of the eaves, spiders crawl in and out of holes in old trees.
At this moment, the spider that was suddenly fished out by Bifang from the crevice in the ice was running rampant in the huge palm, its arthropods covered with thorns moving back and forth, and its shriveled head was surrounded by eight black eyes from large to small.
I got goosebumps!
【What the hell is this】
【Can you please stop holding it in your hand? I'm stressed】
【The hairs on my hands are already standing up!!!】
"Jumping spider, this guy is a Himalayan jumping spider. Its scientific name is Euophrys omnisuperstes, which means 'above all'. It can live in ice crevices at an altitude of 6,700 meters. It is the highest living creature in the world."
Looking at the small thing running wildly in his palm, Bi Fang flicked it with his thumb out of spite, and the jumping spider had to change its direction and scurry around in his palm.
At the current height, the only creature Bi Fang can see is the Himalayan jumping spider on his hand. When all the people on the mountain evacuate, he will be the only one left above 5,000 meters on Mount Everest.
One person, one mountain.
【Can’t you bite? Isn’t it poisonous?】
【Man, you are playing with fire!】
"Don't be nervous, human skin is a bit thick for a jumping spider. It is very smart and self-aware and rarely attacks humans. In fact, it is not just jumping spiders, other spiders also rarely attack humans. After all, it is a thankless task of hitting an egg with a stone.
Things. Usually, the small bags you think are bitten by spiders are basically caused by other insects.
"This is especially true in China. In our country, spiders that can pose a fatal threat to humans can be said to have not yet been born, and spiders that can attack humans and whose venom can cause severe reactions, such as spiders of the genus Kou, are also very rare in China.
So there is no need to be afraid when you see a spider.
If there is one from thousands of miles away and you encounter it in the wild, you can buy a lottery ticket or find ways to catch it and show it off to zoologists, because after all, no one can find one for a long time."
Many foreign audiences burst into tears upon hearing this, especially those from Australia.
[Woo woo woo, China is really a geomantic treasure land]
[I lived in Australia for a while last year, and the spiders there were bigger than fists!]
[I heard that you may encounter venomous snakes coming out of the toilet when you go to the toilet there, the kind that you couldn't see before, from the sewer pipe (dog head)]
【Chrysanthemum cools down】
[Wait a minute, only the jumping spider lives at such a high place, so what does it eat? What about the food chain?]
【Blind student, you caught Hua Dian.】
"Yes, scientists were surprised by this when they first discovered him. At this altitude, only jumping spiders survive, but living things must have energy intake to survive. As animals, jumping spiders cannot photosynthesize, and there must be some kind of
There is a food chain supporting its existence, but unfortunately, there is not."
How can it be?
So what exactly do you eat?
The audience was shocked and numb. There is only one kind of creature, so what does it eat? There are not even plants here, not even soil, only rocks. Could it be chewing stones?
"It's frozen insects." Bi Fang didn't give in. "Jumping spiders completely rely on sporadic frozen insects blown by the mountain wind to obtain energy. It is this way of preying that allows biologists to completely confirm the Himalayan jumping spiders."
Spiders are the highest living creatures in the world, no one else."
Bi Fang was even a little surprised when he said this. Compared with humans, animals' powerful survival ability in many cases is beyond comparison.
"The eight eyes allow it to have a viewing angle of 360 degrees, and its body temperature can be as low as minus 20 degrees. The thin hooks on its feet provide grip and will not be blown away by the wind. Its long legs allow it to jump freely between rocks.
The distance can be up to fifty times the body length. Jumping spiders do not build webs, but they can spin silk. The fuse-like spider silk allows them to come and go freely.
In addition, the biggest advantage of jumping spiders is their size. Their tiny bodies can cling to rocks, and the stone surface can receive energy from the sun, forming a heating layer of nearly three centimeters, making it a perfect small environment for this small hero."
The little spider couldn't get out, so it spit out a piece of spider silk and stuck it on the palm of its hand, then jumped hard and immediately jumped out of Wuzhi Mountain.
"Food is scarce and the weather is bad. It seems strange to settle here, but there is a reason behind it. There are only jumping spiders here and nothing else. No one feeds on it. Even though it is small, it is standing in the Everest food chain.
Creatures at the top.”
The sun begins to set.
Bi Fang stood up, and the jumping spider slowly dropped from a high place like a safety rope, until it returned to the ground, bit off the silk thread, and escaped.
【I gained more knowledge】
【Wonderful nature】
[Did Lao Fang get Sir Alex’s true biography (dog head) in the past two days?]
"Of course, with the master around, it would be a waste if you don't ask for advice? Chasing stars is not about shouting for autographs. What you are chasing after is nothingness. It is true that you must learn skills and certain qualities from your idols." Bi Fang laughed.
Mountaineering with Attenborough is not just about climbing without talking. Naturally, Bi Fang gained a lot from the communication, which made Bi Fang learn a lot about the local customs and special creatures. But Bi Fang did know about jumping spiders.
There are many types of spiders, and it is impossible for him to know them all, but he still knows some of the world's most powerful creatures.
[What can you learn from chasing Fang Shen? (smirking)]
[Confronting nature (dog head)]
After seeing the spider, Bi Fang continued climbing.
We often meet people going down the mountain on the road, but there are also fewer and fewer people going down the mountain.
Bi Fang used an ice ax to hit the ice to help him climb up the steep slope. During this period, rocks fell from time to time. If he was hit, it would be easy to fall off the cliff at this height, and the person would be basically disabled. If he was hit on the head, he might die on the spot.
.
Bi Fang saw with his own eyes a stone as big as an old computer roaring towards him, but it fell far away and he avoided it in advance. However, from the first perspective, the audience still took a breath of air until they looked at the stone.
After falling into the cliff, he realized that he was breaking into a cold sweat.
The first perspective is more exciting than playing a horror game.
One miss and you're really dead.
"If you wear myopia glasses inside and snow goggles outside, please make sure that the hot breath you exhale does not frost the glasses, otherwise it will affect your vision and judgment. Now we are very close to Camp 2, and now we are walking in the 'Silent Valley'.
You can see that on my right is Nuptse Peak, and the slope of the mountain on my left is a slope prone to avalanches. Normally, you should travel as fast as possible and pay attention to the surrounding conditions."
After climbing up the ice slope, Bifang took a breath and finally stood up straight, looking sideways at the setting sun in the sky.
It was already evening, at an altitude of 6,400 meters, and clouds and mist were flowing around.
The alpine crow returning from hunting flew towards the mountain, and the jumping spider suddenly jumped from the rock...
The snow-capped mountains are tall and spectacular, with a wonderful gold-like color in the sunset. The curves and patterns formed by ice, snow, stones and cliffs are extremely beautiful.
The sky, wind, and light are creating dynamic and eternal creations... But maybe in the future, the ice tower forest will never disappear again.
The environmental overdraft and destruction caused by human development are also damaging the Himalayas.
After staring at it for a long time, until the sun went down, Bi Fang came back to his senses and continued climbing up the mountain.
