During the wildebeest crossing the river, Harley presented a wonderful performance that was completely different from the previous impressions in the minds of countless viewers, showing what a true cheetah posture is!
Only the cheetah galloping on the grassland is the real son of the wind.
[The most handsome among cats, nothing else (funny)]
【Then there is nothing to talk about (dog head)】
[Don’t want to talk? Then don’t talk at all (turn over the table)]
[Lion: I think we still have to talk about other things; Tiger: Seconded]
[Snow Leopard: Are you really not going to talk about anything else?]
The audience who saw this scene with their own eyes were all hooked. If they were there, they would definitely stand up and applaud wildly.
All kinds of words of praise were also thrown out wildly, accounting for more than half of all the comments.
Similarly, with the help of the crossing of the Tianhe River and the moment when the cheetah awakens and hunts, the number of viewers has been rising steadily, and now it has reached a terrifying 16 million viewers watching at the same time.
As a newbie, Harley was a bit immature, but his physical strength was not exhausted to the point of complete exhaustion. Bi Fang did not go up to help.
[Here I go, this knowledge kind of shocked me.]
[Would the disappearance of mosquitoes affect the ecology?]
[Speed ceiling of land creatures]
【Awakening, hunting time! 】
"The only exception may be the Arctic tundra, where mosquito species do not carry disease and can remain."
[You can catch the prey, but if you take one bite, all grassland carnivores will lose (funny)]
"Now we have quite sufficient supplies, and there is no shortage of furs or tools. The biggest role of this wildebeest is to let Harley know which part of the prey is the fattest and the most cost-effective to eat."
[Although I have never heard of it, I don’t know how serious it is]
This made Bi Fang, who was waiting for the cheetah to regain its strength, make a rare complaint, but his unintentional words aroused heated discussion among netizens.
“What is most likely to happen is that mosquitoes will be invaded by other groups of the suborder Longicoridae except Culicidae, including the family Astonidae, Acanthidae, Gnatidae, Reticulidae, Acanthidae, Pleuropodidae, Chironomidae,
Replaced by species from families such as Leptozoidae and Cryptonidae.”
"Similarly, we also need to let Harley rest and move the prey to a safe area to avoid being robbed of its own food. This is a very important point for the cheetah."
After swatting a mosquito that bit his skin to death, Bi Fang flicked its body away with his fingers.
When the quantity is too high, even Bifang's carefully prepared mosquito repellent becomes less effective.
"Plants pollinated by mosquitoes will also decrease, but they will not become extinct. No living thing depends entirely on mosquitoes for survival, so the disappearance of mosquitoes will have little impact on the ecosystem."
"In the past, Hamid would take the cheetah to run on the prairie. Sometimes the cheetah would run away and disappear. At this time, he would call it back with a whistle. Harley is very sensitive to this."
Sure enough, the penetrating whistle was accurately transmitted to Harley's ear canal, and it heard the command.
The live broadcast room, which had been oppressed and silent by the stagnant atmosphere, once again regained its vitality, and barrage suddenly erupted like a volcano.
The wildebeest at the back were still crossing the river. Originally they were going down one by one, forming a single file.
"So if mosquitoes disappeared, the animals that feed on them would decrease in number but not become extinct."
"Biologist Olivia Judson also advocates the extermination of 30 species of mosquitoes on the grounds that eliminating these 30 most harmful mosquito species can save 1 million lives and will only reduce the genetic diversity of the mosquito family by 1%."
【Prairie doormat】
"Hey, it would be great if all the blood-sucking mosquitoes died. Anyway, the disappearance of mosquitoes would have no impact on the ecology."
Regarding the prey that Harley hunted alone, Bifang did not quickly dissect it to collect the prey. Instead, he stayed where he was and waited quietly for Harley to recover.
Bi Fang explained loudly to the uninformed audience: "According to the people at the protection center, the whistle was the original instruction given to Harley by Hamid."
[It’s really a work of art from nature, the lines are so beautiful]
“In addition, most plants that rely on mosquito pollination can also be pollinated by other insects. Mosquitoes do not exist as so-called ‘keystone species.’ No ecosystem will collapse due to the disappearance of mosquitoes.”
"Ah, I just said it casually." Bi Fang rubbed the back of his head and laughed, "But there is a certain basis for not affecting the ecology. A study published in the magazine "Nature" concluded that no species completely relies on mosquitoes.
Survive.”
Bi Fang shook his head: "No, mosquitoes are not the only food source for those creatures."
[Damn, I’ve learned a lot]
[In order to support your family, you work overtime in the factory to make screws]
Wildebeests cross the river, and the whole world is drowned by the sound of their stampeding. It is noisy and dull. Only high-frequency sharp whistles can be effectively transmitted.
After receiving the instruction, Harley subconsciously dragged the prey away from the wildebeest group, that is, in the direction of Bifang.
Harley bit the wildebeest's throat tightly, and its abdomen swelled to a great extent and at a high frequency. It was obvious that it consumed a huge amount of energy.
The herd of wildebeest ran past a few meters away from him, and the dust it raised could touch Harley's wet nose. However, none of them stopped to help their companions, and they all followed the rhythm of the large army.
, showing the laws of survival nakedly in a ruthless way.
【Something slipped out and passed by】
Then with the last rays of the setting sun, if you look carefully at the sky, you feel like you are staring at the snowflake screen of an old TV with no signal.
[How is it possible that when mosquitoes are young, they will not harm mosquito predators? 】
Now it has grown to seven or eight columns, and continues to widen. The formation is getting bigger and bigger. If Harley does not move, he may be overwhelmed by the expanding herd of wildebeest, and then it will be dangerous.
The best way to guide a cheetah to adapt to the wild environment is to let it survive independently as much as possible.
"But I said it at the beginning. I just said it casually and complained. In fact, even if the mosquitoes are exterminated, it will be useless."
Although he was very tired, he kept away from the growing wildebeest stream little by little, ensuring his own safety. As Harley's strength recovered, its speed became faster and faster.
Bi Fang has minimized the difficulty of hunting wildebeest by seizing the opportunity.
[Nature is really full of pits, and it’s really not easy to survive.]
"Situations like this are relatively rare."
[Is this shot the prototype of the emergency syrup? 】
To a certain extent, such a law also protected Harley who was exhausted.
The river is rich in water vapor, coupled with continuous rain and so many animals crossing the river. This extremely comfortable environment makes the number of mosquitoes nearby reach a terrifying level.
"With fewer mosquito competitors and potentially fewer predators, species in these groups may experience population explosions, and animals that originally preyed on mosquitoes will also switch to preying on these groups, probably equivalent to replacement.
?”
[Awesome, strange knowledge has been added]
[Holy shit, it’s real or fake, how is that possible?]
"The gap left by the elimination of mosquitoes will be filled by other organisms."
Bi Fang clasped his thumb and index finger in a ring, put them to his mouth and blew an extremely loud whistle.
For such a long time, the wildebeest, which was in a state of suffocation, died completely.
Five minutes later, Harley, who was biting the wildebeest's neck, released his mouth and lay on the ground panting.
"According to Schermatin's point of view, eliminating mosquitoes will not have much impact on the ecosystem, but the ecological niche vacated after the mosquitoes disappear will be quickly filled by other similar species, some of which can bite people and suck blood."
"For example, if a bad person is punished, another bad person will appear, and the animals that originally preyed on mosquitoes will also prey on these species, and the ecosystem will return to a balanced state."
"Okay, the cheetah's strength has almost recovered, we should leave as soon as possible."
After briefly introducing some knowledge points, Harley's physical strength has recovered a bit and he can perform some energy-consuming actions.
Bi Fang stood up and walked away, calling Harley to take the prey and continue with him.
