Chapter 1802 Mountain Gorilla

'yes! We must get past this place. Because only this place is relatively open. There are cliffs and steep slopes on both sides. If we want to walk through both sides, it will be more troublesome. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at the surrounding terrain, then looked at Feifei and said.

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei also said, ‘Then we have to pass through this place. '

'Yes, we must pass through this place. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at the mandrill not far away and said.

‘Dad, how do we get there? Will this mandrill stop us from going there. ’ Feifei said again.

‘Of course, we may have entered the territory of this mandrill by now, and they will definitely regard us as other invasive animals. Zhao Zhongyao said so.

'Then what can we do, how can we get past this place. ’ Feifei looked at his father and asked.

'Then what else can I do, of course I have to force my way. 'Zhao Zhongyao felt that now they had no other choice but to keep moving forward.

‘But we don’t have any weapons, how can we fight these mandrills. ’ Feifei looked at his father and said.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at a small tree not far away and said,'Let's get some branches and trim them for weapons. '

Zhao Zhongyao felt that the two of them had nothing to deal with these mandrills now, so they could only find some branches as weapons.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked to a small tree next to them and began to fold the branches on it.

Originally, this mandrill didn't see Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei either. But when the two of them walked to the small tree, they were discovered by the mandrill.

The mandrill saw that two humanoid animals had entered their territory. It immediately started screaming at Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.

It's just that Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei are both wearing spacesuits, so of course they can't hear the strange cry of this mandrill. However, from the way it waving its teeth and claws, it can be felt that it is screaming loudly.

‘Dad, it’s bad, this mandrill found us. ’ When Feifei saw the mandrill screaming at the two of them, he knew that it had found them.

'Then let's quickly break off the branches as weapons, so that we can deal with them. As Zhao Zhongyao said, he began to break off the branches on the small tree. And Feifei quickly broke off a branch from this small tree.

So Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei both held a branch in their hands. The two of them started walking towards the mandrill.

When the mandrill saw Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei approaching it, it suddenly jumped from the huge rock to the tree next to it. After that, the mandrill jumped a few more times, and then disappeared.

When Feifei saw that the mandrill was gone, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao happily and said, 'Dad, we have already beaten that mandrill away. '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, 'That's not necessarily the case, who knows what it did. '

Zhao Zhongyao felt that this mandrill would not let it go so easily, and it would definitely make a comeback.

Sure enough, when Zhao Zhongyao spoke like this. The branches on some big trees nearby shook suddenly.

Soon, seven or eight mandrills jumped down from this big tree. They soon came to some rocks in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.

These mandrills didn't dare to approach Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei directly, but just showed their teeth and claws on the rocks on one side. They looked very angry, as if Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were two uninvited guests, and they really wanted to drive these two uninvited guests away.

At this moment, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said, 'Since they are showing their teeth and claws. Then we also make a show of showing our teeth and claws. That way, we can scare them away. '

As Zhao Zhongyao said, he also showed his teeth and claws. The same is true for Feifei, he also showed his teeth and claws after hearing what his father said.

These mandrills originally wanted to get close to Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. But when the two of them also opened their teeth and claws, the mandrills didn't dare to approach them.

‘Feifei, we’ve been doing this all the time. Only in this way can we walk past this place. 'Zhao Zhongyao felt that the gesture of the two of them making teeth and claws was very useful. So, he asked his son to keep doing this with him.

After hearing what his father said, Feifei continued to show his teeth and claws to these mandrills. These mandrills saw that Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei had been showing their teeth and claws to them. They were a little scared, and they didn't dare to approach Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.

In this way, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked deep into the forest while opening their teeth and claws.

These mandrills followed Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei at first. Slowly, they dare not continue to follow them. After all, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei have already walked out of their territory, so they dare not go any further.

When Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei saw that the mandrills had disappeared, they relaxed. Felt like I was finally free from those annoying monkeys.

'Dad, we can finally take a break. ’ Feifei just did the movements of stretching his teeth and claws for a long time, and he felt very tired. So, I sat on a big rock to rest.

Of course, Zhao Zhongyao did the same, he also made a gesture of baring his teeth and claws for a long time, and now he also wants to take a rest.

So, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei

The two sat on a big rock to rest.

Feifei rested for a while, then took another look into the distance. As soon as he saw it, he felt that there was something in front of him emitting colorful lights.

'Dad, look what it is. ’ Feifei pointed to a huge rock more than a hundred meters away.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao also looked in the direction of Feifei's finger. Sure enough, he also saw something that could emit colorful light.

When Zhao Zhongyao saw this luminous thing, he smiled happily and said, 'That should be the amethyst gemstone we are looking for. '

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei also said happily, "Dad, it seems that we will get the third amethyst gemstone soon." '

‘No, the third amethyst gemstone is not far away, we just need to walk over to get the third amethyst gemstone. Zhao Zhongyao also said happily.

‘Dad, what are you waiting for, let’s hurry over and get this amethyst gem, and we will complete the task again. ’ Feifei said happily.

‘That’s right, let’s keep going, let’s keep going, that’s it. We will be able to complete the task soon. 'Zhao Zhongyao stood up while speaking.

Feifei also stood up. The two continued to move forward. Originally, the two of them also felt a little tired. But when they saw the amethyst gemstone, they felt that their whole bodies were full of strength immediately.

The two of them walked towards the huge rock together. Because that huge rock is just over a hundred meters away. If the two of them walked fast, they should be able to reach that place in less than two minutes.

But when Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked forward for about fifty meters, they suddenly felt a very huge animal squatting on a rock in front of them. This animal is huge. It was much bigger than the monkeys they had seen before.

When Zhao Zhongyao and the others saw this huge monster. This huge monster also saw them.

When this huge monster saw Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei, it suddenly jumped off the boulder.

At this time, both Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei could see the appearance of this monster clearly. When they saw it, they felt that this monster was like a kind of great ape on the earth - the mountain gorilla.

Because the hair of this monster's whole body is black, and its body is very strong. It stands about two or three meters high. It's just that the arms are as thick as human thighs. Standing there, it feels like a huge demon.

When Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei saw such a big monster suddenly appearing, they were frightened immediately.

Feifei looked at the big monster in surprise and said, 'Dad, what is this? I feel like a mountain gorilla. '

Zhao Zhongyao also felt that this should be a mountain gorilla. So, he said, 'This must be a mountain gorilla. It's just that this is not a mountain gorilla on Earth, but a mountain gorilla on Mars. '

‘Dad, do you know anything about this mountain gorilla? Shall we take a look at them now. As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing yourself is invincible in a hundred battles. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

'Okay, let me tell you something about mountain gorillas! 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

Next, Zhao Zhongyao told Feifei some knowledge about mountain gorillas.

Mountain gorillas are endangered and rare animals, with only 880 left in the world. Native to the Virunga Mountains in Africa. It provides a good living environment and rich food sources for this "gentle giant", so that this rare animal can thrive here. The mountain gorilla can be quite intimidating due to its gruff face and huge size. But in reality, they are very peaceful herbivores. Mountain gorillas spend most of their time hanging out in African forests, chewing leaves or sleeping.

On November 14, 2018, the "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species" was updated, and the mountain gorillas were downgraded from "critically endangered" to "endangered", mainly due to factors such as anti-poaching and clearing mountain patrols.

Mountain gorillas have longer and darker fur than other gorillas, so they can live at high altitudes and in cooler places. They live more on land, and their feet are more like human feet. Scholars can distinguish individual mountain gorillas from their noses, so they monitor them from photos and descriptions of their noses.

Mountain gorillas are highly sexually dimorphic, with males being around twice as heavy as females. The skull of adult males has larger sagittal and occipital crests, making the skull more cone-shaped. These crests connect to the strong jaw muscles. Adult females also have these crests, but they are less prominent than males.

When males reach sexual maturity, a tuft of gray or silver hair grows on their backs. The hair on the back is shorter than the rest of the body, and the hair on the arms is particularly long. Males can reach 1.5-1.8 meters when standing, with arms extended up to 2.25 meters. Existing wild individuals generally weigh 100-180 kg.

Mountain gorillas are primarily terrestrial and quadrupedal animals. They climb trees to throw fruit and can walk up to 6 meters on two legs. Like other gorillas, its hands are longer than its feet. They walk on their backs, using the backs of their fingers instead of the palms for support.

Mountain gorillas inhabit the Albertine Rift Mountain Forest in the Virunga Mountains, distributed at an altitude of 2225-4267 meters. Most of them are on the slopes of dormant volcanoes such as Karisimbi Mountain and Mikeno Mountain. The forests at the foot of these mountains are very dense, and the higher they are, the rarer they are, and the forests where mountain gorillas live are more cloudy, foggy and cold.

Mountain gorillas are diurnal animals, about

6:00 am to 6:00 pm. Due to their large food needs, they spend most of their time eating. They eat in the morning, rest near noon, feed again in the afternoon, and rest in the evening. Every mountain gorilla builds a nest every night where it sleeps, and only the young gorillas sleep with their mothers. They leave their sleeping nests at sunrise unless it is very cold or dark.

Serious aggression is rare in stable mountain gorilla populations, but when two groups meet, the two alpha males sometimes fight, biting each other with their canine teeth until the other dies. As a result, disputes are often resolved before threats are displayed. Their intimidation rituals are quite unique: progressively quickening shouts; symbolic eating; standing on two feet; throwing plants; beating the breast with both fists; kicking with one foot; Plants; finally beat the ground vigorously with the palm of your hand.

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei said, 'Dad, didn't you say that this kind of mountain gorilla is a gentle herbivore! But this gorilla looks very vicious. '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'This! Probably because we've trespassed on its territory. Animals have their own territories. It gets very angry when uninvited guests break into its territory. '

After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Feifei said with some concern, 'Then what should we do, I'm afraid the two of us can't beat this mountain gorilla. It is so tall and strong, even if we hold branches in our hands, we can't do anything to it. '

After hearing what Feifei said, Zhao Zhongyao also said,'Yes! This mountain gorilla is bigger than the mountain gorillas on Earth. Its temper may be bigger than the mountain gorillas on earth! '
