Chapter 1241: Roundup
Zhang Zian can understand Fina's resistance, because cats are very clean, and they even dig holes to bury their own excrement, and foxes are indeed coquettish and stinky animals, otherwise they would call them "sexy foxes" "Woolen cloth?
There is a pair of glands at the tail of the fox, which will release a strange smell when encountering an enemy or being frightened, so as to disgust the enemy. It uses the same defense method as the weasel and skunk, but its appearance is better than that of the weasel and skunk. It's so high that I don't know where to go, so no one scolds "Sao Weasel" or "Sao Skunk". After all, this is a world that looks at faces.
As a pet fox, the pair of smelly glands are often cut off, otherwise even if it is matured at home, it will inevitably be frightened, releasing chemical weapons at home at every turn, no one can stand it, and the whole house may not be able to live. And maybe neighbors too.
In addition, even if the pet fox has its odor glands cut off, everything will not be all right, because although the fox itself has no smell, the smell of fox urine is quite strong!
In this regard, foxes are very similar to cats. They both originated in arid desert areas. In order to adapt to the dry and water-scarce life, their ancestors could not urinate freely like humans. It would be a pity to pee out together.
In the desert where the living environment is extremely harsh, if there is no such ability, it may have become extinct long ago.
Concentration is the essence, and the concentrated urine... the taste can be imagined.
But foxes differ from cats in that the two animals process urine differently.
Although the smell of cat urine is also very strong, cats will bury the urine after excretion, so as not to scare away the prey or make themselves the prey of natural enemies...
Cat litter and sand are similar in nature, and pet cats are born to do it, and there is almost no need to teach them, so raising a cat is more worry-free.
Foxes don't do that, they just piss and don't bury them.
Of course, foxes are canids, and making them use litter the way cats do seems a bit demanding.
It doesn't matter, since foxes are canids, shouldn't it be enough to take them out of the house like walking a dog to excrete?
But I’m sorry, it took humans tens of thousands of years to domesticate dogs before they wrote the instinct of fixed-point excretion into the genes of dogs. Foxes have never been mainstream pets in human society. I want to buy a fox and let them hold their urine like a dog. Then being led outside by the owner to urinate at a fixed point, that is a fantasy...
Therefore, it is not impossible to keep a fox as a pet. After all, there are people who keep even more exotic pets, but either keep it in a cage all the time, or have a mine at home,
It's best to dedicate a house to keeping it, and then laugh at the pungent, lingering urine smell all over the sofa, bed, and furniture.
Putting aside how to raise them, it is impossible to catch this group of fennec foxes without frightening them. Whenever they are frightened, they will release chemical weapons.
Just like the saying goes, don't fail to catch the fox, and make a fuss!
The hunting instinct in Femas makes him eager to try, but hearing that Fina hates the smell of foxes so much, he can't help but feel drummed in his heart. Now he is a public dog, so he has to pay attention to his image.
Zhang Zian looked up a little, and found that the group of fennec foxes hadn't left yet, so he said to Fina and Fei Masi: "The fennec foxes are very athletic, and they can run and jump like flying in the desert. It is difficult to catch up, and even if you can catch up, it will be very tiring, and you may be attacked by chemical weapons when you catch it, so we should only outsmart it, not force the enemy."
Fina didn't say anything, but her eyes seemed to doubt his IQ.
Zhang Zian simply drew a topographical map on the sand with his fingers.
An arc represents the dune where they are at this time, and a circle and two dots behind the arc represent the positions of the three of them.
At a distance from the arc, he drew a few more x's to represent the group of fennec foxes.
"Let's use the hunting method of primitive people. You two go around from the left and the right." He drew an arrow on the left and right of the arc, pointing to the back of x.
"After you are in place, you don't need to catch them yourself. Just bluff and drive them to the sand dunes. If they run elsewhere, you block their way and let them run only here." He explained: " Let's invite you into the urn, and when they run over, I will complete the capture."
Primitives used similar methods to hunt large animals, such as herds of bison. They did not directly surround and kill the bison, because they only had spears made of sharpened stones tied to long sticks in their hands. The bison's thick skin is not easy, even if it is pierced, it may not hurt the vitals, but may be injured or died in the bison's counterattack.
So the primitive people would surround three sides, leaving only one direction for the bison to run, and drove the bison to the edge of the cliff. Even if the one running ahead stops the car and the one behind cannot see the situation, it will push the one in front off the cliff. Then the primitive people only need to go to the cliff to cut meat and make dumplings for the New Year.
Zhang Zian also used a similar method, asking Fina and Fei Masi to play the roles of primitive people, and himself... to play the role of the cliff.
"Are you sure this method is feasible? It doesn't sound very reliable!" Fina was dubious.
"This is the wisdom of the real working people!" Zhang Zian urged with confidence, "Go, don't wait for them to escape!"
"You'd better be sure, otherwise if Ben Gong smells like a fox..." Fina snorted coldly, walked around to the left reluctantly, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Fimas is lurking to the right.
Zhang Zian was condescending, and when he saw that Fina was unwilling to return, he still lowered his body driven by curiosity, and quickly circled behind them like a wisp of smoke without disturbing the fennec foxes.
Femas moved at a slower speed because he was worried that he might be spotted by the fennec fox due to his large size, so he used what he learned from police dogs when filming "War Dogs" to crawl forward and listen to the fennec fox. Movement and movement, crawling for a while and stopping for a while, it took more than ten minutes to get in place.
Zhang Zian wanted to "throw a cup as a sign", but unfortunately he didn't have a cup in his hand, so he had to take out a flashlight from his pocket, quickly turn it on and off, as a signal to start action.
Femas and Fina jumped out from the hiding place at the same time, according to Zhang Zian's instructions, they didn't call out, so as not to wake up the people in the camp prematurely, but rushed towards the fennec fox.
The fennec fox also reacted quickly, panicking and fleeing in the opposite direction where Fina and Femas were attacking.
A desert chase begins.
