The traces in the grass were very obvious, and a long scratch spread and slid into the distance.
Obviously, this is a snake.
"Snakes are very common in the wilderness and you can encounter them almost every time, especially when it rains."
Bi Fang crouched down and followed the traces.
"Snakes will be highly active before, after, and even during rain, because their prey, such as frogs and mice, will come out at this time."
"The former likes a humid environment. With more moisture in the air, the skin can be fully moistened, so it becomes active. The latter is to avoid rain and avoid low-lying caves from being flooded, so snakes can come out at this time with a high probability.
Fill the stomach."
"It's just that snakes are cold-blooded animals. They only become active when the temperature is above 18 degrees. I guess it was too cold last night, so as soon as the rain stopped and the sun came out today, the temperature had just risen. It couldn't wait to catch us.
meet."
The snake shape in the slippery soil was like an arrow, guiding Bifang forward.
Harley also lowered his head to smell the smell, as if he had discovered something.
Under Minghuang's guidance, it didn't take long before one man and one leopard spotted the target lurking in the grass.
Another swollen viper!
"Hey, I didn't expect it to be an old face."
Bi Fang chuckled outside the grass.
He had encountered one before when he was catching beetles under the myrrh tree, but that one was quite alert and ran away as soon as it made any movement. At that time, Bifang was more focused on the myrrh tree, so he ignored it.
, I never expected that I would encounter another one now.
Harley was very nervous when he saw the venomous snake.
Not only humans, animals also have Dongshe's fear engraved in their genes. Seeing this long strip of poison for the first time, the cheetah instinctively felt uncomfortable, especially the brown markings on its body, which gave people a sense of discomfort.
A feeling that is not to be trifled with.
In fact, almost everyone with tattoos in the animal kingdom is not easy to mess with, followed by those with permed hair.
"I didn't have time to introduce it last time, but I met it again this time. This is a bulging viper, commonly known as the bulging viper. It is a venomous viper. It is called the most common venomous snake in Africa and can be found almost throughout Africa."
"Because this guy's reproductive ability is super strong, both in terms of breeding method and the number of cubs."
"It will produce pheromones to attract and wrap around the neck of males. There was once a female snake in Malindi that attracted seven male snakes to follow her. Later, she would give birth to a large number of baby snakes, usually 50-60, and more.
80 is not impossible."
"There used to be a female snake from Kenya in the Czech zoo. She gave birth to 156 baby snakes at one time. She is the current world record holder."
Bi Fang searched his memory and found a little interesting thing.
"Due to their wide distribution and high numbers, combined with their large size, venom and tendency to bite, the viper causes more fatalities than other African venomous snakes."
【Good guy, are you so capable of giving birth?】
[Fuck, this is several times that of other normal snakes]
【A bit outrageous】
[Papa lays eggs, right?]
"It doesn't lay eggs. It lays viviparous eggs, so when it comes out, it's just a baby snake."
[One thing to say, I feel that laying eggs is worse than laying eggs. Thinking about it makes me sick]
[Indeed, puff puff puff directly squeezed out a bunch of small snakes, just like parasites]
[Stop talking about my good brother, I will wilt just thinking about it]
Now that he saw it, Bi Fang certainly wouldn't let it go. He stepped forward with a tree stick to attract the viper's attention.
"The belled viper moves quickly and is highly aggressive, so you must be careful when catching it. The attack range can be one-third of its body length, and the safe distance is at least one meter."
After several trials, the bulging-bellied viper finally couldn't bear it anymore and stuck out its head to bite out, but was immediately hit in the neck by a tree stick.
Under the principle of leverage, the speed of the tip of Bifang holding the tree stick was no slower than the attack of the poisonous snake, and it was extremely powerful. One blow knocked the viper unconscious, and it struggled and rolled crazily on the ground.
Harley on the side took a few steps back, dumbfounded, and kept circling around, wanting to get closer but not daring.
Bi Fang was not polite when he saw this. He saw the right moment and hit the snake again on the head, killing the poisonous snake on the spot.
He found a relatively clean puddle nearby, and after briefly handling the snake corpse, Bifang wrapped it and put it in his bag.
Of course, it's a place separate from Jerry's den, otherwise the little guy might be scared crazy.
“I’ve had harvests since I first came out. It’s a good start.”
Bi Fang was in a good mood, and even his steps became much brisker.
The only regret is that catching a snake can't teach Harley anything. He would rather meet some four-hoofed animals.
And not all four-hoofed animals are suitable. African buffalo, for example, is a bit out of class for Harley. Even if Bifang successfully hunts it, he won't learn much.
One of Africa's Big Five, the Widow Maker doesn't kid you.
So after thinking about it, it is best to choose a four-hoofed animal that is not particularly huge and not too rare in number. The former is suitable for cheetah hunting, and the latter is suitable for bifang live broadcast.
The animals haven't come back yet, so there's not much chance, but waiting a few days should change the situation.
In the next two days, Bi Fang and Harley the cheetah headed north while hunting some small animals and trying to find suitable targets.
The frequency of rain is also getting higher and higher visible to the naked eye. Basically there is one in the morning and one in the evening, but it is not as heavy as the first rain, and the ground dries out quite quickly.
It was at noon that day that Bi Fang encountered a suitable four-hoofed animal, a group of antelopes.
"Horned wildebeest!"
Bi Fang was quite surprised that he actually met him!
【What is this, an antelope? 】
[Have the animals migrated back? Is this the vanguard force?]
The audience seemed very excited to see the antelope.
This seems to mean that a real hunt is about to begin?
"No, not the vanguard." Bi Fang took a few steps back to cover up his figure.
"Not all animals can migrate. The main force in the migratory army is wildebeest, as well as zebra and antelope. But not all antelopes can migrate. Among the antelopes, gazelles are the main ones, and most of the other antelopes cannot migrate.
.”
"The reason why animals migrate is to live a better life. There are too many wildebeests, zebras and gazelles in the savanna, millions of them. There is simply no way to get enough food in the dry season, but for other animals
That's not the case, if these three big families leave, we can survive on the remaining food."
"What we have in front of us is the wildebeest, which is a kind of antelope between migration and non-migration. They will chase water and grass and live in no fixed place. If there is not enough food, they will join the migrating army. If there are nearby
Pond, maybe you won’t leave.”
Bi Fang whispered.
At this time, the drone also approached the wildebeest, allowing the audience to have a good look at this group of creatures.
Wildebeests are very interesting. They have many purple-blue spots on their faces and legs, which look like they have been beaten.
The back and upper body are covered with a layer of short and shiny fur, ranging from rusty red to tan, and there is a black band from the forehead to the tip of the nose.
Although its body looks similar to that of an antelope, its face is very similar to that of a cow, especially its horns. Although they grow from the top of the head, they open to both sides, just like the curved horns of a buffalo, but with long tops.
It has ring-shaped edges like an antelope, so it is named wildebeest.
Judging from the size alone, it is indeed a very suitable hunting target.
There are a total of five wildebeests in front of us, which belong to a normal group combination.
The quantity is not very large either.
"The wildebeest live in the water and grass. The group can be in groups of two or three, or there are more than ten or twenty of them together. But they are not as powerful as the wildebeest. At most, there are only about one or two hundred of them together."
Bi Fang never underestimates herbivores. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Quantity is a very critical data.
There are only five members of this group in front of us, and their threat is limited, making them a perfect training target.
It seemed that it was the first time he had seen such a big guy. Harley was a little curious and a little confused. He poked his head around Bifang, got down and got up again, his upper body kept rising and falling. He seemed a little eager to try, but due to his own ability, he was also a little hesitant.
Bi Fang pressed its head down and buried it in the grass.
If it's shaking like this, it will be discovered sooner or later.
"For ethnic animals, we also need to select a suitable target, such as the elderly, pregnant women, or patients, so as to greatly increase the success rate."
Bi Fang glanced at each one and suddenly pointed at one of them.
"Look, the one in the middle has a big belly. It looks like it's about to give birth. This is almost the best hunting target."
The first person follows Bifang's finger, and the audience quickly locks onto the target.
【Ah, what a big belly】
【What is going on? Are you pregnant?】
【She is pregnant!】
[Pregnant, sick, and old are the favorites of predators.]
It was a wildebeest with long horns. Although it is a bit strange to say this, both male and female wildebeests have horns, and the one pointed to had an unusually large belly. It looked like it was pregnant, so there was no need for Bifang to say more.
, the audience will understand.
"Although it is cruel to say this, pregnant female animals are indeed easy targets in nature, second only to sick ones."
At a glance, among the five wildebeests, there was no one lame or sick. They were all in good spirits, even the old ones.
You can basically tell how old a horned animal is by looking at its horns, especially antelopes, which have many horn segments over the years, but Bi Fang didn't see such a goal.
Normally, even if a pregnant woman is easy to catch, Bi Fang would not take action. But since he wants to be a "teacher", he must set a good example, so this time he targeted the pregnant wildebeest.
superior.
"I need to prepare first."
"When frightened, the wildebeest can run up to 70 kilometers per hour and will jump over other wildebeests to escape danger. They are considered the fastest hartebeest, so we must pretend to be close and kill them with one shot as much as possible, otherwise we will
A missed opportunity.”
Bifang slowly retreated with Harley. He looked around, preparing to make some disguise for himself first.
But before exiting the safe area, the cry of a wildebeest broke the silence of the grassland.
At first, Bi Fang thought he had been discovered accidentally, but when he looked up, he found that the herd of wildebeests did not flee in all directions, but were gathered together tightly.
The one who made the cry was also the female wildebeest that Bi Fang pointed at earlier.
Just when everyone was wondering what was going on, Bifang looked at her trembling legs, suddenly realized something, and was a little stunned.
"No, is it about to give birth?"
【Holy shit, you’re about to give birth?】
【That's right, what a coincidence?】
【Is this happening now? 】
"No, it seems to be around this time." Bi Fang suddenly thought of this.
Unlike other species of the same genus, this group of wildebeest usually calve at the end of the dry season, with a high success rate.
And isn’t the dry season just over now?
【What a coincidence】
[Awesome, you can really encounter anything]
【Something】
【Another eye-opening day】
Upon seeing this, Bifang was not in a hurry and continued to retreat. After waiting for a certain distance, he began to smear mud on his body and insert shrub branches to integrate himself with the environment as much as possible, and at the same time eliminate the smell.
At the same time, I saw the production scene on the other side and said something interesting.
"In fact, some people have discovered that there is a strange 'role reversal' phenomenon in the breeding behavior of African wildebeests, that is, the males are very picky and the females are aggressive."
"During the courtship process, some male wildebeests are actually in a very passive state. They become the objects of crazy pursuit by over-enthusiastic female wildebeests, but it may be because the other party is too active and they will reject the opposite sex.
Courtship."
【What the hell】
【real or fake】
[Holy shit, this is the first time I’ve heard of it]
[Damn it, why can’t I encounter such a good thing? 】
The wildebeest is different from most antelopes. Female antelopes only have one day of pregnancy per year, and they only meet the male once, so they tend to chase and treat the male enthusiastically, rather than like other animals, where the female is
The person being shown love.
Therefore, male wildebeests carefully select their partners every year. They do not like those females who are too proactive, and sometimes such partners may even annoy them.
Some over-enthusiastic female wildebeests are very aggressive when pursuing males. In order to reject their advances, the males will attack them and fight.
"It is said that doing this can help male wildebeests preserve their strength, that is, maintain the number of eggs, in order to cope with possible breeding behaviors with new partners and maximize the number of possible partners."
[I am certain that human evolution is in the wrong direction (dog head)]
【Eat soft food but hard to eat (confident)】
【I also want a proactive sister, please】
【Copper Ball】
After all the disguises were done, Bi Fang seemed to blend into the environment. Except for the somewhat abrupt color of his hair, it didn't matter otherwise. Animals are basically color blind.
At the same time, the birth of the horned wildebeest finally ended, and a wet calf appeared on the prairie, trying to stand tremblingly.
