Chapter 884 The Great River

"I don't know about other countries, but in China, perhaps the best way for the general public to understand animals is to watch the animal world when they were children, right?"

Bi Fang still remembers the scene when he was a child, sitting in front of the TV, waiting for Animal World to start.

That kind of expectation can sometimes surpass the love for cartoons.

【plus one】

[Like Fang Shen, I especially liked watching the animal world when I was a child]

[My grandfather especially likes to watch Animal World. He often went to his house to play when he was a child, so I also watched it since I was a child. It is quite interesting to watch, much better than some cartoons]

[I don’t love it that much, but if I see a cartoon I don’t like to watch, I will run over and watch Animal World. 】

[Seeing a fish lurking under the water, and then suddenly shooting a water arrow from its mouth, knocking down insects on the branches, I took a sip, and I felt very good for some reason]

The meal was coming to an end, and Bifang and Harley began to retreat slowly, gradually getting away from the three brothers on the grassland.

"People are always curious about things they don't understand. They want to know the amazing explosion of the tiger's strong muscles. They want to know how powerful the rhinoceros's horns are. They want to know how big fish are in the river. How to create a whirlpool.”

"But if you put most people in the liger mountain or crocodile pool in the zoo, I'm afraid most people wouldn't think of being close to each other. Instinctively, they would just run as far away as possible."

"Even if they were placed in the Monkey Mountain or Bird House, I'm afraid most people wouldn't want to stay there. Just through the fence, people can't get to know them more deeply. It's not satisfying at all."

"This is not true for a zoo that is divorced from reality and has lost its wildness, let alone the real wild."

"Distance cannot produce beauty, but it can produce a sense of security."

After retreating for dozens of meters, Bifang stood up again.

Away from his eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, the frightened Harley was finally able to straighten up and no longer huddle up.

【Too real】

[One of the reasons why I like Lao Fang’s live broadcast is that there are always various strange animals appearing in the live broadcast room. The most important thing is that Lao Fang also talks in great detail, which is very exciting]

[Three brothers gather together, Harley is simply not enough to watch]

[I have been hiding behind Fang Shen’s butt, making me laugh to death]

"I was interested in them as a child but was afraid to approach them."

"At this time, the animal world provided me with an excellent window to understand them."

"Colored wolves are definitely powerful, but we have never watched their performances carefully. If you are interested in this kind of creature and want to know more about it, you might as well watch Sir Alex Ferguson's "Dynasty"."

[Fang Shen truly loves Sir Alex]

[I have watched Dynasty and it is really good. In other words, Sir Alex Ferguson’s documentaries are not too bad. He is worthy of being the father of documentaries. They are all works of art]

[Even if these animals become extinct in the future, at least there will be something to prove to future generations that they existed. 】

[The theme has been sublimated again]

Bi Fang stared at the three grassland brothers.

The hyenas tore the old zebra apart and ate all the belly meat, leaving behind the blood-red ribs.

The bloody ribs were bent toward the sky, silently revealing the cruelty and ferocity of nature.

The slightly smaller sub-adult zebra also had its belly cleaned out. A few variegated wolves that were not full yet sneaked over and carefully bit the little zebra, trying to drag it back to their camp.

A few of the spotted hyenas stood up and roared a few times symbolically, but they did not choose to fight for it. They just demonstrated in place.

The variegated wolf, frightened away by the cry, squatted down again for more than ten seconds, returned little by little, bit the zebra's leg and continued to drag it, and then the white hyena was frightened away, but soon ran back again.

This was repeated many times, and finally the wolf dragged the little zebra back to his home and placed it next to the ostrich. Many wolves who were not full quickly came up to feast and tear into pieces of meat.

Zebras are so huge that one adult zebra is enough for a pride of lions and a pack of hyenas to eat.

But the ostriches are much smaller in comparison, and they are still "defective products" whose bellies have been eaten out by leopards. There are also a lot of them. Even the most colorful wolves present are not full, so they can only grab the hyenas. The remaining zebra cub in the herd.

"Animals become much 'lazier' after they are full. Many people are impressed by some film and television works, or are frightened by hyenas' wage-earning behavior. They subjectively think that they are more ferocious, but in fact they are not."

"Many reptiles and arthropods are limited by their own level. Most of them only have the instincts of hunting, eating, and reproduction. They can be regarded as mammals. At this stage, their intellectual development has given them a certain personality of their own. feature."

"Of course, this is definitely much weaker than humans. Anthropomorphizing animals seems to me to be a more embarrassing thing. Every time I see some descriptions of animals that are overly anthropomorphic, my big toes will curl up involuntarily. stand up."

【Hahaha, me too】

【Feel the same. 】

[Don’t rush, don’t rush, it’s three bedrooms and one living room, it’s already under construction]

"Characteristics such as brutality and aggression are not related to spotted hyenas, so they usually do not take the initiative to cause trouble and will only attack when their interests are related."

"This is the same for most animals, so if there is enough food, even if a baby zebra is dragged away, there will not be a violent conflict."

"After all, spotted hyenas won't make zebras into smoked meat like I do to extend the shelf life. I have actually emphasized this many times. That's why we are very close at this time, but we are also quite safe."

The entire eating process of the three brothers took no more than an hour. The originally lively and tense grassland fell into silence again after that, and the three groups gradually dispersed.

Only a few corpses with exposed bones were left on the vast grassland, and perhaps they would eventually flow into the stomach of the vulture.

After enjoying the most realistic hunting, Bifang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a great sense of heroism in his heart, and a refreshing energy passed from his toes to the top of his head, and his whole body was transparent.

Bifang turned around and said, "Let's go, there's nothing to see."

At this time, Harley was squatting on a small earthen slope that was only more than two meters high, looking around vigilantly. After hearing his name, he quickly jumped off the earthen slope and followed Bifang closely.

The three groups on the grassland are basically the three most threatening carnivores in Africa, and they all have territorial awareness.

Now that all three are full, the area around here can be considered a safe zone for the next three days. Unfortunately, Bifang still has a mission and cannot stay here for long.

One day later.

The wide river blocked the way for Bifang and Halley.

On both sides of the river, huge Nile crocodiles lay on the shore, opening their long jaws full of sharp teeth, quietly waiting for prey that rushed to the shore because of thirst.

Three-spined sticklebacks are small fish native to the Northern Hemisphere. They will follow physical attraction, but this is not a superficial aesthetic.

This species will choose plump and smooth-skinned fish as leaders.

All these factors indicate that this is a three-spined stickleback with a strong body and mastered survival skills.

Only with superb hunting skills and a full stomach can the body be strong and beautiful enough.

At the same time, the study also found that once a fish in a school recognizes the charismatic leader and starts to follow it, the other fish will agree with the majority of fish.

The larger the school, the more likely the fish are to follow the right leader, which shows that absolute numbers are helpful.

But just like humans, this consensus-building method has its drawbacks: Sometimes several fish will follow a less-than-good fish, leading the entire school astray.
