Chapter 853: First Impression Is Important
Through the iron cage, Bi Fang explained the mission objectives to the audience.
Because the cheetah was sleeping, he unconsciously lowered his voice.
Perhaps he didn't want to wake up the cheetah and leave a bad impression on their first meeting.
"This is the target of our operation. The staff told me that its name is Harley."
"It is a one-and-a-half-year-old sub-adult male cheetah. The so-called sub-adult is the stage between adolescence and adulthood."
"For us humans, it is probably between high school and college. At this age, it is fully capable of living independently. Most cheetahs will leave their parents and live alone at around one year old."
"But due to the lack of his mother's teaching, although Harley is almost an adult physically, his mental age is quite young and he has not yet learned how to hunt."
"Creatures like cheetahs rarely endure the closed life of zoos, so its best destination is nature."
"But if it is released directly into the wild, it will be difficult for Harley to survive in his current situation, so my mission is to help him learn to hunt, know how to protect his prey, and truly integrate into the wilderness."
Let a human teach a beast how to hunt and survive in the wilderness.
Are you sure?
The mission itself sounds ridiculous, just like teaching fish to swim and letting birds learn to fly.
But if this human is Bifang, the audience in front of the screen will find the whole thing not so difficult to accept, and even feel it is reasonable.
Because this man may really be better at hunting than cheetahs!
Fang Shen, the world's recognized strongest and most charming man in the wild.
His miraculous journeys tell everyone that in the wilderness, he is the undisputed uncrowned king.
This is not the self-satisfaction of the ignorant, but the recognition of the world.
What's more interesting is that when the audience heard that Bifang wanted to teach cheetahs to hunt, some people actually seriously discussed Bifang's "teacher qualifications."
[Let me tell you an interesting data. The hunting success rate of polar bears is 10%, gray wolves is 14%, lions is 18%, leopards is 24%, tigers is 27%, cheetahs is 58%, and the black-footed cat has the highest hunting success rate among cats, with a hunting success rate of 60%. ]
[Ah, is this the case for tigers and lions? ]
[Failure is the theme song of the wilderness, and success belongs only to Fang Shen! ]
[Although Fang Shen's hunting rate has not been properly scientifically counted, the number of times he has failed since the live broadcast is very few, and it is almost certain that it is more than 90%, which is higher than the 85% of the most powerful African hyena, so he can really be a teacher of cheetahs. ]
[The most important thing is that the hunting range of ordinary hunters is relatively fixed, but Fang Shen's range ranges from squirrels, venomous snakes, and swimming fish to moose, brown bears, and musk oxen, which is much better than wild animals. ]
Rows of data were sorted out, and finally everyone came to a unanimous conclusion.
There is no problem.
That's how it should be.
[I understand. If there is a title, Fang Shen must be at least a senior teacher. ]
[Too small, at least a professor (dog head)]
[The conservation center has found a good teacher for Harley (laugh)]
After keeping everyone in suspense for a long time, we finally learned the content of Bifang's live broadcast. Even before the live broadcast started, the audience had already started to shout that it was exciting.
Sure enough, their expectations were not in vain. Fang Shen did not disappoint as always. Taking a cheetah across the entire South African savannah, teaching it to learn hunting and integrate into nature, is there a better story than this?
[Too cool! ]
[Survival in the wilderness, Chinese style is the coolest]
[What is the limit of Fang Shen? ]
[Fengyang Salted Fish presents the anchor Langhao*66666——Just thinking about it makes me excited, this live broadcast will definitely be exciting. ]
[Holding on to the senior sister's Hi Si tightly, crying and making a fuss not to leave me, presenting the anchor Meatball*1000——Is this the beginning of another legend? Go! ]
[Go hard! ]
Seeing the audience so excited, Bifang struck while the iron was hot and looked at the staff on the side and said: "Open the door."
"Now?" The staff touched the key, a little hesitant.
"Is there a problem?"
"In fact, there are some problems." Assistant Director Rubia took over the topic, "Harley's temper has been very bad these days."
"What happened?"
"Because its keeper Hamid Griffith died of a heart attack while feeding Harley four days ago."
"Hamid was also one of the first few people to find Harley, and Hamid has been taking care of Harley since then. In Harley's eyes, Hamid is like a relative, so he has been depressed these days and it is difficult for people to get close to him."
The incident happened suddenly, and the tragedy happened after Chu Zhaohua went to China.
So even Chu Zhaohua didn't know what happened, and Bifang was naturally even less likely to know.
"In fact, Hamid's death was not entirely an accident. He was already very old, and he had a history of heart disease. But none of us expected the tragedy to happen so quickly. Hamid's greatest wish before his death was to see Harley running freely in the wilderness, but it's a pity that it can't be realized now."
After listening to Hamid's story, everyone fell into silence.
Then assistant Lubia made a suggestion: "So our idea is to let Mr. Bi feed Harley for a few days first, so that both parties can get familiar with each other before making contact. Otherwise, there may be certain dangers if we act rashly."
To Cheetah Harley, Bifang was a complete stranger, let alone the current special situation.
Bi Fang thought for a moment and nodded.
There is no need to rush into contact with animals. They also have their own thoughts and emotions. If they rush in at this time, they will often get into trouble.
Seeing this, the director immediately issued an invitation.
"Mr. Bi Fang hasn't eaten yet. Otherwise, let's have a meal first."
The plane arrived in Nairobi at around six o'clock. It was already past eight o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the conservation center. After touring around and getting to know the main characters, it was indeed almost lunch time.
As the audience wailed, Bi Fang prepared to turn off the live broadcast and come back after finishing his meal.
[No, it only started an hour ago, why is it about to end?]
[Fuck, wait, one hour, who do you want to satisfy? 】
[Fang Shen is strong in everything, but his time is too short, no wonder he has been single, hey, as expected, no one is perfect]
"That's too much. I originally planned to have dinner and continue when I come back in the afternoon. You guys are really making me sad."
Bi Fang was a little annoyed, then ignored the audience and turned off the live broadcast, ready to try Kenyan specialties.
The mission hasn't really started yet, and from now on we can only eat and sleep in the wild.
After instructing the staff not to feed Harley until he came in person, Bifang followed everyone to the canteen.
The conservation center did not disappoint Bi Fang. Most of the funds here were spent on animals and soldiers. The funds were not very sufficient, so there were no delicacies. However, there was definitely enough meat, otherwise it would not be able to support large carnivores such as lions and cheetahs.
Bi Fang also saw many Kenyan characteristics at the dinner table.
Although they are both in Africa, the flavor here is different compared to Egypt, but the spices are abundant and the taste is not bad.
In fact, Bifang can accept most foods, but he doesn't like some things with a strong milky aroma, similar to cream stew. Others are not bad.
"Try our Kenyan sausage - mutura. This is specially made by the chef. It is a protein-rich meat snack that most of our animals here like to eat."
The chef brings a large plate of sausages to the table.
Although it sounded a little weird, Bi Fang didn't think it was an insult, but found it interesting.
People here basically spend most of their lives protecting animals, so such a metaphor is not just contempt, but a kind of recognition.
Bi Fang took a look at it twice, then tasted it and found that it was indeed good.
This is a specialty sausage made from goat intestines filled with minced meat and goat blood.
It's boiled until it's almost cooked and then thrown on the grill to dehydrate the meat and give it that sensational smoky flavor.
Bi Fang, who has the green chef skill level 5, only took a few bites to figure out how to cook it.
This is followed by various stews, beef stew, goat stew, muscle stew, mixed with vegetables such as carrots, peppers, peas or potatoes.
The sauce is made from a light tomato base, onions, salt and pepper. It tastes salty, spicy and sour, with a unique flavor.
There is also barbecue.
Bi Fang was not polite at all and showed everyone his amazing appetite.
Even after the meal, I ate a stack of Kenyan donuts alone, which are fried dough full of sweetness.
For ordinary people, these are out-and-out carbohydrate bombs, but for Bi Fang, they are the best substances to replenish energy.
After dinner, Bi Fang bid farewell to everyone and came to Harley's single room accompanied by the staff, carrying a bag of red offal in his hand.
When the live broadcast was turned on, the well-prepared audience once again flooded in. The number of viewers directly exceeded five million, and it is still rising. Looking at the curve, the number of people watching steadily today may exceed 10 million.
This is very normal data. The viewing curve of many TV series is also that the first episode and the final finale have the highest ratings.
After a morning and noon fermentation, the news that Bi Fang was going to take the cheetah back to nature had spread rapidly throughout the Internet.
Hot searches about Bifang and Cheetah have appeared on almost most social networking sites.
The conservation center even directly posted Harley's story. His mother was skinned by poachers, and his breeder died of a heart attack not long ago. All these deeds have moved the world.
【I'm coming】
[Damn, it’s already one o’clock in the afternoon, you’ve been eating for two full hours! 】
[Too slow, too slow, the flowers have withered]
"The people at the conservation center are too enthusiastic, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Bi Fang was quite helpless.
This is a necessary social interaction, that is, he does not drink, otherwise he will not be able to continue the live broadcast in the afternoon.
A few big men were bragging, and time flew by.
Everyone who works here has rich and unusual experiences, and they won’t stop talking about it. It can be finished within two hours, which is already very fast.
Fortunately, after the meal was over, Bi Fang was no longer surrounded by a large and small circle of people, only a few administrators were following him.
At this time, Harley had long since woken up from his sleep and was patrolling back and forth on the ground. Compared to what he saw in the morning, his elegant figure was more completely displayed.
The slender limbs, thick tail, and explosive torso perfectly interpret the meaning of golden lightning.
"I believe many people know that cheetahs are the king of land speed. They are strong in speed."
"Someone mentioned the hunting success rate of cheetahs this morning. It is true that among cats, they are the best. As the saying goes, 'the world's martial arts can only be broken by speed'. Cheetahs have followed this approach and evolved their bodies to be born only for speed."
"In a 2012 study of cheetahs on the Serengeti grasslands, it was found that they hunted 192 times, 114 of which were successful, with a success rate of 58%. However, this is also the reason why they are relatively weak in frontal fighting. The researchers found that there is a 10% chance that cheetahs will be robbed of their "fruits of victory" by hyenas, lions and other animals. "
"The survival rate of cheetah cubs is also very low, only 10%. It is precisely because of the high mortality rate that cheetahs generally give birth to more cubs. A female cheetah can give birth to one to six cubs per litter, and up to seven in captivity."
"Add to that the threat of poachers, so the number of cheetahs on the grassland has been decreasing and cannot be increased at all."
[Damn, speaking of cub survival rate, I remembered the story of Harley I just saw!]
[It hurts, it hurts so much.]
[I almost cried when I saw Harley crying beside his dead mother when he was a child and attracted Hamid and the others]
[Indeed, I just found out. 】
"Due to the gap in strength, we don't need to worry too much. Whether in terms of tonnage or strength, we humans don't need to be afraid of cheetahs."
Cheetahs are members of the genus of the subfamily Felinae. Unlike lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, etc., which belong to the genus of the subfamily Pantherinae, cheetahs are typical representatives of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Its claws are canine-like, lacking the fleshy claw sheaths of other cats, and have no retractable parts. Therefore, its footprints have claw marks, no strong claws, average bite force, and very average canine length. It is destined not to become a dominant force.
There are even rumors that cheetahs will pretend to be honey badgers to scare off their natural enemies. Even if it has not been confirmed, it can be seen.
At this point, Bifang looked at the administrator on the side: "Open the door."
This time, the administrator did not hesitate. At Bifang's request, he stepped forward to open the big lock on the wire mesh.
Bifang picked up the bloody bag in his hand and smiled.
"With the help of the staff, I got the goat's internal organs to feed it, hoping that Harley would like it and that I could leave a good first impression on him."
