The sound of the large leaves swaying and rubbing just now made them think that some giant creature was approaching, maybe it would suddenly jump out and scare them.
The result is a slender tail that is still wagging from side to side?
Seeing this slender tail, many people immediately thought of the footprints Bifang found before.
【This is the water monitor lizard?】
[That should be it... I went out for a day and I don’t know what I was doing]
[What a long tail, I hate reptiles the most]
The second largest lizard in the world, second only to the Komodo dragon, it has a ferocious temperament. Except for its slightly smaller size, it reminds the audience of what a beast it is.
But looking like this, Yazi doesn’t seem very smart?
At this time, the water monitor lizard that had just poked out its tail didn't seem to realize that its butt had been seen by millions of people. It was still wagging its tail and trying to drag something in the bushes.
Even Bifang became curious. Judging from the tail, his judgment was correct. This was a lizard, and the only one in the entire Chinese territory that could grow to such a big size was the water monitor lizard.
What on earth is it doing?
After more than ten seconds, the answer finally appeared. After a violent drag, the water monitor finally showed its whole body. It almost looked like a smaller version of the Komodo dragon.
However, unlike the yellow earth-colored dragon, this water monitor is covered in dust and looks almost pure black. Its five sharp claws can easily leave holes and footprints in the soft soil.
Under the high-definition live broadcast of the drone, the audience can clearly see the fine scales and leather-like texture on its body.
In fact, the skin of the water monitor can indeed be made into leather bags, leather shoes, watch straps, etc. For a long time, people have purchased the leather of the water monitor at high prices in the market.
This has also led many people to hunt wild round-nosed monitor lizards, resulting in a significant decline in the number of water monitor lizards in recent hundreds of years.
[Oh my god, it’s another country, Lao Fang’s live broadcast room has almost turned into an animal world]
[There are so many animals in the rainforest, I have never heard of what Lao Fang said]
[The animal world is missing a Boss Fang]
【What is it doing?】
After finally getting out of the bush, the water monitor shook off the fallen leaves on its head, lowered its head to bite something, and continued to drag. At this time, under the illumination of the setting sun, Bi Fang could finally vaguely see that it was a round shape.
The grass nest, with white particles flashing inside...
That's... an egg?
The audience can see more clearly through the perspective of the drone. What the water monitor lizard is biting is a grass nest like a bird's nest. In the middle of the grass nest, dozens of yellow and white round eggs are crowded together, reflecting in the sunlight.
Has a unique luster.
As if it finally realized something was wrong, the water monitor let go of the grass nest, raised its head, sniffed the air, and turned its head towards the shack.
At this sight, it froze and stood motionless on the spot, turning its head from time to time, as if wondering why the original shack suddenly changed and there was an extra wall.
[Hahaha, I tried very hard not to laugh out loud]
[Water Monitor: What’s going on? Why is there suddenly an extra wall? Where is my house? Why is my big house like mine missing? 】
[Holy crap, this doesn’t want to move to Lao Fang’s shelter, does it? It’s pretty good at choosing]
[If I were to move, I would have food, drink, and shelter from the wind and rain, wouldn’t that be nice?]
In the office, Zhou Weisheng said with emotion: "Water monitor lizards are rare to begin with. I never expected to encounter one laying eggs. Normally we can't find it even if we try to find it. What a blessing."
Many times, the staff of their reserve look for creatures with a certain goal in mind, and they may not find a clue even after ten days and a half. But sometimes, the creature that they have been waiting so hard for may be right around the corner.
The happiness at that time was unparalleled, and it was also the happiest moment in this job.
Bi Fang also laughed. He finally understood why the water monitor lizard had been active here for a long time, eating and drinking, and then suddenly disappeared for such a long time.
Is love going home and moving to another place?
Do you even want to bring the cub with you?
"Water monitor lizards often lay eggs in caves on the shore or in tree holes from June to July. It seems that we have encountered another one, but this one has already given birth."
Bi Fang pinched his eyebrows and didn't know what to say. This was the first time he had seen this situation.
[Don’t they realize that Boss Fang is a professional in obstetrics and gynecology? Funny]
[Real cowhide, another long-lasting series]
[Lao Fang still manages the shelter very well]
[Why did you just run into some pregnant animals?]
"It's normal. In summer, the temperature is high, the precipitation is abundant, and the food is abundant. Animals will basically choose to lay eggs at this time. Isn't there a saying that is right? Spring is here, and here it is again... Ahem, right?
"
Gu Min
Bi Fang coughed twice, which could only be understood but not explained.
Generally, animals find mates in the spring and lay eggs in the summer, which ensures the survival rate of their offspring. Those with long gestation periods also find partners in the winter. The relationship between animals is much simpler. They don’t need a house or a car. They’re right.
Just burrow into the grass and reproduce.
"Everyone who has raised a pet at home should know that as long as you don't neuter it and don't restrict its freedom of movement, it will 100% bring you a litter of kittens and puppies every year."
It is also true that most of the female creatures that can be found in summer give birth.
What's more, in a place like the rainforest, where life is extremely dense, it can only be said that Bi Fang chose a good time to see this rare sight.
[Woo woo woo, even animals have partners, I’m still single]
【You scold me again!】
[Tear, have you seen this wolf hair? No more! 】
"However, I will definitely not let them in. This is my territory." Bifang shook his head, carried the two fish into the shelter, and inserted a bamboo raft at the entrance to block the door.
[Boss Fang, you are so cruel, men will become bad if they have money]
[Abandoning mother and child like this]
【Ruthless Blue Man】
Bi Fang laughed loudly: "Animals are much more adaptable to the wild environment than us humans. If you don't believe it, wait and see. It may come back to climb the wall later. When it realizes that this place does not belong to it, it will definitely dig nearby.
A hole.”
Sure enough, in less than three minutes, the audience saw the water monitor lizard's head sticking out of the wall. For it with sharp claws, this earth wall was nothing.
Unfortunately, as soon as he stuck his head out, Bifang hit his head with a tree stick and fell to the ground.
"All lizards in the family have rough skin and thick flesh, but everyone should be careful. Try not to get close to them when you encounter them in the wild. Being bitten is very troublesome. Although the water monitor is the cleanest of all monitor lizards, it is only the skin and does not include
Oral cavity.”
Water monitor lizards have a very unique characteristic - they are clean.
Most monitor lizards have a lot of bacteria on their bodies, but not the water monitor lizard. It is very clean. Among all the lizards, the water monitor lizard has the least bacteria on its body, with the number of bacteria on its body being only 30/cm².
.
As for why these are happening, no one knows. It may be a lower body temperature than most other monitor lizards, or it may be some other reason.
"However, although the surface is clean, it cannot change the fact that the water monitor lizard eats scavengers, so there are a lot of bacteria in its mouth. If it is bitten, it will definitely cause the wound to rot." Bi Fang said, holding up a long stick.
Even he didn't dare to approach the water monitor easily. It wasn't that he couldn't defeat it, but he just didn't want to get hurt.
The water monitor lizard that was stabbed to the ground shook the dust on its body and its dizzy head, raised its head, glanced at Bifang, and left silently.
left?
Just as the audience was thinking this, five minutes later, the familiar head poked out from another direction again.
Bi Fang poked it again and smoke flew everywhere.
Ten minutes later, Bi Fang will poke again.
Four or five times, and nearly half an hour later, the water monitor finally realized that the shelter in front of it was completely different from what it had seen before.
Under the setting sun, the water monitor lizard dragged out its long figure, turned back three times to look at the shelter, and finally dragged its grass nest and disappeared into the bushes.
The audience was stunned for a moment.
That’s it? Fierce temperament?
【Aren't you here to make fun of me? 】
[I thought he was some kind of powerful character...]
The water monitor is indeed a very magical creature. It is undoubtedly ferocious and aggressive in temperament, but it is completely different towards humans, especially children, who are particularly docile and not aggressive at all.
There has been no record of any injury caused by water monitor lizards, including wild and domestic pets, in the world.
Bi Fang had said this before: "But we shouldn't take it lightly. Maybe it will come back at night. I want to make a simple defense, but before that, let's eat first."
While battling wits with the water monitor lizard, the grilled fish was already cooked.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and it's another delicious meal.
Now Bi Fang's life has been completely stabilized. He eats meat, mineral salts, and goes out to pick some from time to time. There are also vitamins. Apart from the fact that carbohydrates are difficult to find, he can already say that he has no worries about food and clothing, and the place where he lives can protect him from the wind.
rain.
Ironmaking will begin tomorrow.
After dinner, Bi Fang brought out a bucket of clay, cut off a branch, made many spikes, mixed the clay and inserted them into the wall.
"In rural areas where there are cement walls, you may see broken glass sprinkled on them. That's to prevent people from climbing on them. The same goes for ours, but it's not enough."
Bi Fangyou wrapped a thin rope around it and tied bamboo pieces on top. No two pieces were close to each other. If the main line was pulled, dozens of bamboo planks would collide and make a sound as an early warning.
