Chapter 883 Dynasty

Whenever a variegated wolf feels hungry, it will sneeze to initiate a group hunting request.

Whether its request can pass depends on how many sneezes it collects.

It has even evolved into a more advanced form - different levels of variegated wolves have different rights to speak when they sneeze.

If the first variegated wolf to sneeze is the leader of the pack, then it only needs three more sneezes for the entire pack to assemble and start hunting.

But if the first wolf that sneezes is an ordinary wolf, then about nine other wolves must agree with it, that is, more than ten votes will be needed before its hunting request can be approved.

【Too outrageous】

【Is this the earth? 】

【Natural is so big and full of wonders. 】

[I unilaterally declare that the motley wolf has become a spirit. This is a precursor to demonization! 】

Animals all vote. For most viewers, this is definitely a blind spot in the blind spot of knowledge. The incredible facts are before their eyes, directly setting off a storm in the brain.

It is really unimaginable that animals can show such high intelligence, and it is not even a simple matter of one ticket for each wolf.

Just one word - outrageous!

Bi Fang nodded: "The electoral behavior of animals is indeed quite rare in nature. As far as I know, there are no more than one number."

[Hiss, counting on one finger, does that mean there are other animals that can do it? 】

【Careless】

[It’s amazing, as expected, there are many animals that become sperms in foreign countries]

【I said it back then】

"To put it into detail, African buffaloes sneeze, unlike variegated wolves, they use a 'voting method' to decide the direction of travel."

"Which feeding spot is the closest and where the water grass grows lushly is crucial to the African buffalo population, whose total number can easily exceed a thousand. It is directly related to the rise and fall of their survival."

"So about an hour before the group feeds, adult female buffalo in the group start voting."

"Each of them will stand up for a minute and stare at where they want to go, and then lie down in this direction. Finally, whichever direction has the most buffaloes, everyone will go to graze there."

[Then the question is, what if there are exactly the same number of buffaloes in both directions? 】

[You know how to argue]

[If you are so good at arguing, why don’t you go to the construction site]

[Buffalo: Oops, my brain is going to grow]

【Cow brain overload】

"Hahaha, this kind of situation is not uncommon. It's actually simple. Just divide into two teams and look for food separately."

Bi Fang was not surprised by the audience's tricky question, and said bluntly, "African buffaloes can't count, they just roughly estimate the number. 55 and 45 will be regarded as 55, so there are often two parties that 'vote the same number.'" In this case, they will be divided into two teams directly. "

[Smart, but not that smart (eating melon)]

【Eye-opener】

[Looks like a very smart person]

"Then there are red deer, which use the 'stand-up-to-vote' method."

Bi Fang then gave another example of an animal.

"Red deer will lie down and ruminate after eating grass. Some red deer eat and digest quickly, so they will naturally get hungry quickly, while others will eat more slowly. Those who eat quickly will want to look for food elsewhere. But As social animals, everyone must act in unison.”

"At this time, the red deer will stand up. Whoever is hungry will stand. When the number of standing red deer exceeds 60% of the group, everyone will start a new foraging operation together."

"If there are not enough deer, even if the leading red deer stands up, the operation will not be approved."

【Emeixing】

[It was so magical that it had a certain impact on my world view]

[I was surprised to hear this kind of thing, and it increased my knowledge, but compared to animals, I admire Lao Fang’s knowledge more]

[Isn’t this Fang Shen’s routine operation?]

[If one day Lao Fang suddenly announces on live broadcast that he has proved the unified field theory, I may be a little surprised]

[Compared with buffalo and red deer, I feel that the voting of variegated wolves is more complicated. It is really smart that the votes are weighted.]

[I kind of understand what Bi Fang said about the complex social behavior of variegated wolves. How complex is it?]

Bi Fang couldn't help but nodded.

"If you're new to wolves, you might think they're not that social."

"Compared with dogs or gray wolves we are familiar with, body language, especially facial expressions, of variegated wolves is much less. They are not as noisy as dogs, and their vocal signals are not rich."

"But judging from the study on sneeze voting, it's not that variegated wolves are poor at expressing themselves, it's just that we haven't completely cracked their communication method yet."

Bi Fang took Harley lying down in the grass and introduced the "three brothers" on this prairie to the audience in a unique low tone, ensuring that the sound would not be too loud to disturb the eating animals, nor would it disturb the eating animals. The audience could not hear clearly what was said.

The eldest brother, the lion, the second brother, the hyena, and the third brother, the wolf, all ate together in less than an acre of land.

"Many people know that the second oldest brother in Africa is the spotted hyena, but few people know that the variegated wolf is also the third eldest brother on the African savannah. Even because their heads look similar, many animals edit videos and introduce the variegated wolf as a hyena."

"As the third brother, with the current number of leopards, the combat power of the wolves is actually better than that of the leopards. However, perhaps because they don't want to have a conflict, and the leopards can't eat all the ostriches, the two sides did not have a conflict, and the wolves don't want to suffer losses on their side."

"It's rare to see the 'three brothers' gathered together like now."

"There is a saying that in the earliest version of the animation "The Lion King", the villains that Disney's painters placed next to 'Scar' were not hyenas, but wolves."

"The reason for changing the actors is obvious. Compared with the silent wolves, the hyenas that sound like a sly smile are obviously more 'dramatic'."

"The Lion King is an African enlightenment work for me. Although the story template is the same as "Hamlet", the lion is the result of decades of animal behavior research, based on many biological observations and descriptions of lions' infanticide' behavior."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that it is an ecological documentary."

"In a sense, the wolves escaped a stigma of 'misfortune', but missed an opportunity to become famous."

Bifang's tone suddenly became quite regretful.

"It's only in the last twenty years that the wolves have been taken seriously. We suddenly discovered that the wolves, which were once everywhere, are now endangered."

"There are only about 6,000 wolves left in the world, and even fewer are able to reproduce."

"From Algeria to South Africa, these wolves are trapped in nearly a hundred fragmented habitats."

"In order to solve the real survival problem, many scholars have launched a campaign to rename the wolves, striving to make their original names more widely known, rather than the nickname of wild dogs."

[Rename? ]

[No, what's the point? 】

"Of course it is useful. 'African wild dog' is not just a name we call it in China. Many places call it this way. Foreign countries call it African Wild Dog. This name makes many people think that they are just African pastoral dogs."

"But they are wild animals, not dogs. The importance of the two is completely different."

"Do you remember the Sir Alex who climbed Mount Everest with me before?"

"A few years ago, there was a documentary called "Dynasty". There were five episodes in total. There were five protagonists in it, one in each episode. Among them was the Painted Wolf. That was the first time it was the protagonist, whether in a fictional work or in an ecological documentary."

"Whether it was the leading actor Sir Alex or the helmsman of the "Dynasty" series, McGunton, they insisted on using Painted Wolf instead of African Wild Dog in the film, so that the public can truly understand the name and meaning of this creature, as well as their unique survival skills and habits."

"When we know it, recognize it, and understand it, the future of this top predator in Africa may be a little brighter."

I am really here to maintain peace. I would like to recommend the new book of the same author.
