Chapter seven hundred and ninety fourth bite marks
Burkina Faso sounds like a little-known small country in Africa, but by other nicknames, many people may have the impression that it is a country of honorable men.
The name of this country comes from its ethnic language, which means "the country of honorable men".
The positive statement is that in Africa, where security is extremely unstable, the people of Burkina Faso live a self-sufficient and leisurely life.
But looking at Bi Fang's journey, poverty and hardship are the true portrayal of the situation.
This is one of the poorest countries in the world. Nearly 80% of the country's labor force is engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. However, because the country is located on the edge of a desert, the land is flat and cannot retain water vapor, so the cultivated land is scarce and water-deficient, making it very barren.
If you don’t have money, you will farm, but if you farm but you won’t be famous, it’s probably such an endless cycle.
At this time, the ground under Bifang's feet was even more desertified. A large amount of sand and gravel were mixed with fine sand grains. It was easy to slip when encountering some steep slopes.
"Raining here is a happy event. If it rains when a child is born, people there will think that the child is born lucky and is favored by gods, so they usually name the child
Patwa means rain."
"Local people even directly use clay to build houses, mix it with water, and then build walls and roofs. They don't have to worry about anything getting wet from rain and causing it to collapse."
While looking for prey, Bi Fang also did not forget to give some explanations to avoid making the audience feel monotonous, but this undoubtedly increased the consumption of water in his body, and he often had to stop to take a sip of water.
Due to its proximity to the equator, Burkina Faso is already quite hot in late May.
Especially at the northernmost point where Bifang is located at this time, the highest average temperature during the day has exceeded 37 degrees, and even a little strenuous exercise under the scorching sun can cause you to sweat a lot.
If you raise your head slightly, you can see the heat distorted by the high temperature in the distance, layer upon layer, denser than the waves blown by a typhoon.
A small amount of gravel slid down the hillside, and Bifang, wearing a dark khaki adventure suit, stepped out and ran towards the top of the hillside.
When crossing the Sahara, the system only allowed the use of a small amount of low-level system equipment. Bi Fang finally chose a khaki adventure outfit that looked like Professor Indiana Jones. It was said to be khaki, but the color was very bland. Under strong exposure, it even looked like
Pure white.
The quality is as good as ever, it dries easily and quickly, and there will be no embarrassing sweat stains.
Standing on the hillside, Bifang looked around and saw that the loess land was flat, with a few thin trees scattered here and there, a little pitifully short.
Facing the sun, Bi Fang squinted slightly, trying to find traces of his prey.
It will be June in two days, and he only plans to spend three days to obtain a camel that is obedient enough, and he will set off on June 1 at the latest.
The best arrangement is to gain something today and spend one or two days getting used to it.
After all, catching it doesn’t mean you can ride it, it also requires some simple training.
"Most of Burkina Faso is plateau, but the average altitude is not high, only about 300 meters, and the terrain is flat. The highest peak in the country is only 749 meters above sea level. However, it is precisely because the terrain is so flat that it is not
It’s too convenient for us to ambush the camels.”
Bi Fang pointed to the great plain in front of him, glanced left and right, and talked about some basic knowledge about camels.
"A camel is an extremely tall animal, with an adult height of over two meters, a body length of between 2.8 and 3.2 meters, and a weight of nearly 1,000 kilograms. It crushes horses and mules in terms of size."
"In nature, big means strong, so camels are undoubtedly one of the overlords of land."
"However, it looks bulky, but it is actually very flexible, and its body is very flexible. Their neck can be bent into an S shape like a cobra, which allows them to watch their surroundings at any time and escape quickly."
"The most important thing is that camels are also very fast, especially some dromedary camels used for competition. They are very explosive and their sprint speed is similar to that of wolves, which can reach 50 kilometers per hour."
"Once December arrives, the speed of camels will increase, because December is the estrus period of male camels. During this period, camels are extremely violent and are in a state of excitement all the time. The running speed has reached a new level. It is said that
It can reach 70 kilometers per hour, which is faster than a wild horse."

[It’s up]
"This speed also brings a powerful impact to the camel, just like a cannonball. Any animal hit by them will either die or be injured. In addition, there are also kicks, the most common form of ungulates, which are very dangerous, so catching
Camel riding is not an easy task, and taking advantage of the terrain is the best way."
When capturing some large beasts, the use of terrain is particularly critical.
The most common way is to have a small slope, with both sides on one side, which can not only block the line of sight, but also block the spread of odor to a certain extent. When a sudden appearance occurs, the rapid distance can also keep the animal under control to a certain extent.
A state of shock.
Of course, it would be even better if there was some headwind.
When the smell and line of sight are completely cut off, and the distance is less than twenty meters, Bifang rarely misses.
The achievements in catching reindeer and black bears undoubtedly prove this point.
On the ground, a low shrub drooped to the ground, and Bi Fang squatted on the ground, lifting it up a little.
As the drone approached, everyone clearly saw the bite marks left on the stems of the plant.
"The way the bark is peeled off, the nut shells left after gnawing, the teeth marks on partially eaten berries and twigs, the remains of prey eaten by carnivores, and the destruction of prey nests, etc.
etc., will help you determine the types of animals living nearby and their living habits."
Bi Fang pointed to a few obvious places and then raised his head, facing the live broadcaster and said:
"Many deer animals that eat the tender stems of plants will leave corresponding tooth marks, and the bark of the stems will leave damaged edge marks. The edges of the bark gnawed by rabbits will be smooth."
"In the summer, the bark that has been chewed by deer is torn into long strips, completely exposing the xylem of the tree. In the winter, the bark is tightly attached and only scars are left in pieces. At this time, you can see a lot of
Clear tooth marks."
"Sheep and goats also eat bark. The marks they leave are usually slanted, while deer marks are vertical."
"Rodent gnawing marks are often found at the base of tree stems - stripping young trees of their tender bark is often the work of hares. The areas gnawed by the indefatigable beavers look as if they have been hacked away with a small hand axe.
Deep scar with a conical top."
"Squirrels will climb to the top of the tree trunk and peel off the bark of young branches. Wood chips and bark fragments are usually scattered under the trunk. But if there are nuts or pine nuts scattered under the tree at the same time, it indicates that this may be
Birds that love to steal nuts did it."
"Near a pile of empty fruit shells on the ground, there is probably a burrow where rodents live."

【Why, do you still expect to use it one day?】
Bi Fang talked about the traces left by many common herbivorous animals in one breath, which opened the eyes of the audience, but in the end he changed the subject.
"But camels are different from the above-mentioned animals. Their mouths are full of fangs. At first glance, they don't even look like herbivorous animals. Instead, they are closer to carnivorous animals, such as tigers and leopards. It is for this reason that they leave behind
You can tell at a glance the traces of it.”
