Just as Bi Fang was thinking about how to leave safely, the polar bear lying on the ice suddenly started to move.
Everyone tensed up, but soon they knew that the polar bear was not targeting Bifang, but attacking the creatures under the ice.
Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, a fat seal emerged from the sea, but its neck was bitten by a polar bear.
"It seems that its target is not me."
Bi Fang's tone was relaxed and he crawled back.
If the polar bear didn't catch the seal, he would still be a little worried, but now, Bifang no longer has to worry. No one would skip a big meal and eat toast, or big bread, and the same is true for animals.
Nutritious seals are an important food for polar bears during the winter. In order to keep warm, seals also accumulate a large amount of fat on their bodies, and this fat is the favorite of polar bears.
A seal weighing 100 pounds can provide energy for a polar bear for 8 days.
However, when food is plentiful, polar bears will only eat the fat part of seals and abandon the meat. This is because they prefer fat that is rich in calories. It is precisely because of this that in the Arctic, which has poor hunting ability in winter,
Foxes will follow polar bears in search of food.
One of their sources of livelihood is the meat left over from polar bears.
[Ma Dan, I was almost scared to death]
[Who tells the truth, even if the polar bear really has something to say to Bi Fang, it may not be Lao Fang who gets into trouble in the end (face covering)]
[This is true, I killed several bears during my trip to Japan]
[Polar bears are different, right?]
The smell of blood gradually wafted into the air. The polar bear chewed the food while Bi Fang slowly left.
[By the way, polar bears don’t hibernate? 】
[Yes, I remember that polar bears hibernate]
"The hibernation of polar bears depends on the situation. If there is food, the polar bear will not hibernate. If not, it will. And if it is a pregnant female bear, it will basically hibernate."
"The hibernation of bears is also different from that of other animals. Even if they hibernate, they sometimes wake up suddenly and take a lap. Moreover, the muscle strength and bone atrophy of bears do not change much during hibernation. However, if a person lies down for several times,
If you don’t do any activity for a month, your muscles will atrophy and your bones will become loose.”
Bi Fang withdrew fifty meters away, stood up again, and looked at the polar bear still eating not far away.
"Winter is actually an important seal-hunting season for polar bears. In summer, polar bears' ability to forage becomes much worse."
"The main reason is that polar bears rely heavily on ice floes for hunting. On stable and suitable sea ice, polar bears will succeed in hunting once every 5-6 times. On open water sea ice, polar bears will hunt seals more often.
The success rate will drop below 5%.”
"We are actually very lucky. We can actually see polar bears catching seals. This probability is very small."
Polar bears generally have two types of hunting modes, the most commonly used is the "wait" method.
Seals will use their sharp claws to leave 10-15 breathing holes on the ice. They will surface in one of the breathing holes about every 5-15 minutes, and polar bears will stay near one of their breathing holes.
Wait for them, and the wait can be long, sometimes hours, but sometimes days.
The polar bear will wait for several hours, and when the seal appears, it will launch a surprise attack and drag the seal out of its breathing hole with a pair of sharp claws.
Another mode is to directly attack seals near the coast. This is normal hunting activity.
"An interesting statistic shows that polar bears spend most of their lives, about 66.6%, being 'static', such as sleeping, lying down to rest, or waiting for prey. 29.1% of the time is on land or walking or swimming on ice. 1.2
% of the time is spent attacking prey and enjoying the delicious food."
"So it's really rare to see a polar bear hunting scene."
After eating and drinking, Bi Fang saw the polar bear carefully cleaning his hair, removing food residue and blood on his body, keeping his body fresh and clean, and then slowly left with his butt shaking.
After the polar bear disappeared, several small white things jumped out. They were indeed the Arctic foxes that Bifang had tracked before.
"Oh, he didn't leave."
Bi Fang smiled. He didn't realize where these little guys were hiding just now. After all, the white hair was so confusing that they almost blended into the environment. So he thought he had run away, but he didn't expect them to come back again.
.
After confirming that the polar bear had run away, Bi Fang stepped forward and drove the arctic fox away, leaving the audience stunned.
[Good guy, Lao Fang, have you learned to bully the weak now? 】
【I saw you wrong】
【Arctic fox is so cute, can it be a pet?】
【Wait until it becomes refined and transformed into human form.】
【Yes, as long as you don't mind having body odor.】
"The body odor of the Arctic fox is not strong, only the urine smells bad, and it is no different from ordinary carnivores." Bi Fang, who has a keen sense of smell, has the right to speak.
After driving away the Arctic fox, Bi Fang did not directly take away the remaining seal meat, but directly set up a trap on the spot, leaving the audience stunned.
As an adult, Bi Fang said he wanted them all. In order to lower the other party's vigilance, Bi Fang also took away more than half of the seal meat.
Sure enough, the Arctic fox, who was reluctant to leave, was fooled. As an opportunist, he would not miss out if there was food.
It wasn't until Bi Fang pinched the fox's neck that it regretted it.
However, after the first one was fooled, the Arctic fox behind became a lot smarter and dispersed in a rush, never coming closer again.
Bi Fang happily tied up the Arctic fox's limbs and stroked the Arctic fox's fur. It had to be said that it felt really good: "Hey, this is the first living creature I've caught for so long."
[Nonsense, the fish caught don’t count? 】
"I mean land animals."
Bi Fang didn't care. To be honest, seeing how cute the Arctic fox was, he couldn't bear to eat it. "Just use it as food reserve."
Carrying the tied fox, Bi Fang found the sled that was tied in place, put it back, and drove the dog away.
These days, there are always gains from bits and pieces, and there are also times when we miss. Arctic rabbits and arctic foxes are relatively difficult to catch. I have caught two rabbits and they tasted good, but this is the first time for foxes.
On the eightieth day of his survival, the time had entered January. Coincidentally, Bi Fang once again encountered a polar bear at close range. This time, he also encountered a big man.
However, the distance was more than fifty meters. When the opponent chased him, Bi Fang escaped with his superb driving skills.
[By the way, didn’t I hear that polar bears are having a miserable life now? Why do all the people I meet are fat people? 】
"So he died a long time ago." Bi Fang was speechless. "And the polar bears in Greenland are different from those in other places."
