Chapter 1496: Scared

It turned out to be a deer!

Xiaoxue held her breath and stared at the brown sika deer in surprise. Netizens in the live broadcast room exclaimed how lucky Xiaoxue was, to be able to meet a sika deer just after entering the park.

"What a beautiful deer!"

"I also saw a deer in Nara, Xiaoxue can try to pet it!"

"Yes, yes, the deer in Nara are so docile, you can even feed them senbei!"

This should be a newly grown doe. Although it seems to be staring at Xiaoxue and Zhang Zian intently, its eyes are located on both sides of its head, which allows it to have a panoramic view of a large 270-degree view, which can prevent predators attack.

Its back is covered with irregular spots, like plum blossom petals falling on its body, and its two big diamond-shaped ears turn around from time to time, listening to the movement around it.

Xiaoxue excitedly gave Zhang Zian a thumbs up, meaning: It's great, I didn't even see it, how did you find out?

The brown doe is almost perfectly integrated into the background color formed by the brown tree trunks and the dead branches and leaves on the ground. Xiaoxue just turned the camera 360 degrees, but she didn't find a sika deer hiding there at all.

In fact, Zhang Zian wasn't the first to discover it. He saw Xinghai running there, and then tilted his head to look at the tree trunk, as if there was something there. He took a closer look, only to see those round eyes full of vitality.

This is also Zhang Zian's first time seeing deer outside the zoo. The feeling is completely different from that in the zoo. Animals in the zoo, due to being kept in a narrow space for a long time, often lose their spirituality in their eyes and movements, and also lose their respect for humans. vigilance.

A few more tourists came on foot. Seeing the two standing on the path in the forest, they felt a little strange. Zhang Zian gestured to them one by one, telling them to pay attention to the sika deer. The camera equipment I brought started shooting.

Is this deer infected with prions?

No one knows, but at least it has no disease at present, and its movements and eyes are very smart.

It realized that these people had no ill intentions towards it, lowered its head and began to chew on the leaves and grass, and then continued to look at them while chewing.

Also, it seems to smell something else, cat, but there is no sign of cat, which puzzles it.

Xiaoxue saw the barrage in the live broadcast room,

She was also itchy in her heart. She carried some snacks in her backpack and wanted to feed them to the deer. At least it was better than the leaves. It would be even better if she could touch them.

Seeing the food she took out, Zhang Zian quickly waved to her, motioning for her to take it back, because San Francisco prohibits feeding wild animals, not only San Francisco, but most states in the United States. Of course, this is a good thing for wild animals , so that they don’t rely too much on humans, and ordinary people don’t know the habits of wild animals, so they often feed them blindly. Some bears even feed animals what they can’t eat. Even the deer in Nara are often fed to health problems .

Xiaoxue regretfully put the food back into the bag.

tick.

Water drops fell on Zhang Zian's head and shoulders.

It wasn't raining, it was just that the air was so humid that it condensed on the leaves and dripped.

The forest was extremely quiet, and everyone wanted to take a closer look at this beautiful creature.

Suddenly, Fei Na, Lao Cha, and Fei Masi moved their ears and looked sideways at the forest.

The limbs of the sika deer seemed to be on springs, bouncing up without warning, running and jumping to escape in the forest.

Just when everyone was wondering who frightened it, a coyote came out of the woods and followed closely behind the sika deer, making a strange clucking sound from its throat.

A coyote and a deer are very fast, coupled with the dense forest, before everyone present can react, the two animals have chased one after the other and disappeared into the forest. No one has captured the appearance of the coyote with the camera.

"Ah!" Xiaoxue didn't know the coyote, and exclaimed in a low voice, "That's... a wolf?"

"Coyote, a small wolf that only lives in North America." Zhang Zian corrected.

"Then... will the coyote eat the deer?" She stomped her feet anxiously. After all, this is a world of faces, and the beautiful sika deer is more popular than the disgraced coyote.

Old Cha and Fei Masi turned to look at him, meaning whether they should chase after him and save the deer.

He shook his head slightly, this is a national park, natural selection, survival of the fittest, both coyotes and deer are part of the ecological chain, as humans, it is better not to interfere as much as possible, especially when it is impossible to judge which coyote or deer Disease or not, let them control their own destiny.

"That deer is very alert and agile, and I don't think the coyotes will be able to catch it," he reassured.

Xiaoxue was somewhat relieved, but looked around nervously, "There won't be any other coyotes, right?"

"This is not sure, let's not stay too far away from that group of people."

The group of people who came from behind had surpassed the two of them and walked ahead, Zhang Zian motioned for Xiaoxue to follow.

Like most other canids, coyotes live in packs, but they are used to hunting alone, probably because the areas where they live overlap with humans, and the objective environment does not allow them to fight on a large scale like wolves.

Because of this little episode, it added a bit of exciting mystery to the original dull garden tour.

Along the way, Xiaoxue looked around with her eyes wide open, looking for traces of sika deer or coyotes, but she didn't pay close attention to the park itself.

The park is very quiet, and there are often chirping birdsong from the dense canopy, but I can't see where the birds are.

Walking on the slippery wooden plank road, breathing the sweet air that cannot exist in the modern city, taking a deep breath, it reaches the internal organs like a cool stream.

The leaves cover the sky and the sun, and many trees that don’t see the sun all year round are covered with green moss. From time to time, some small animals jump quickly on the dead branches and leaves, but they disappear when they look over. Qiu Zhi, if he was walking alone in this park at night, he might be quite frightened by these noises.

Xiaoxue was a little lucky, fortunately, she came with an acquaintance, otherwise she would have been a little frightened, and she might have turned around and ran away in fright when the coyote appeared just now.

They later saw squirrels holding nuts on the branches and hedgehogs in tree holes, but the deer and coyotes never appeared again.

At the end of the hiking route, they drank a cup of coffee in the nearby coffee shop to warm up their bodies, picked some small gifts for domestic friends and viewers in the live broadcast room in the gift shop, and then set foot on the way back.
