Chapter 908: Mutual Destruction
Given the high probability of a blood feud between the two, they certainly cannot be buried in the same pit.
By the time Bifang dug two large deep pits under the tree and placed the bones neatly in them, the sun had already set.
"Huh, time is really not enough. I feel like I haven't done much and it's getting dark."
Muhui coated Bifang with a layer of dark golden halo. He held a stone shovel, flattened the last inch of land, and wiped off the sweat from his forehead.
The evening breeze was blowing, and it was very comfortable to blow on my body.
Without mosquitoes, it was even more comfortable.
Generally speaking, mosquitoes are often less during the day and more at night, but Kenya is the opposite, mainly related to the local temperature.
In the evening, the temperature drops sharply. When the temperature is below 17℃, mosquitoes generally stop biting people. In addition, there is no water system nearby, so you can't find them even if you want to.
It is similar to the inactivity of mosquitoes caused by high daytime temperatures in low and middle latitudes.
Therefore, even if the mosquito repellent applied on Bifang's body is wiped off with sweat, there is no need to worry about being bitten all over.
"In the evening, many carnivores will be active. We must hurry to find a safe place to spend the night."
Bifang inserted a cross made of branches into one of the graves.
When he buried the body, he accidentally found that one of the bones was wearing a cross necklace. He thought it should be a Christian, so he made a cross and inserted it. As for the other one, there was nothing, no information, no proof, so he didn't insert it.
Many people in front of the screen called it exquisite.
It is the rainy season now. In half a month, the two pieces of land under the tree that were bare due to filling will be covered with grass, and no one will know that there were two corpses buried under them.
"Let's go!"
Pick up the backpack and Bifang shouted to Harley in the distance, but did not call him back.
This vigorous cheetah, which is about to grow up, is standing on the earth slope and staring into the distance. Unlike the usual observations, it seems to have a goal and its sight is firmly locked in a certain direction.
Since Bifang had taught the cheetah several times that he should stand on a high place to observe whether there was any danger during rest time, Harley seemed to have firmly engraved it in his instinct. Whenever he had free time, he would automatically look for a slope and lie on it to rest, perfectly performing the sentry mission.
Everyone followed the cheetah's line of sight and found that it was a small bush.
Bifang's eyes observed more clearly, and he saw a huge mouse in the bush.
Well, no, it should be a rabbit.
"A tree hyrax, it seems that our cheetah has its own hunting target."
The sight was facing the fiery sun in the west, so Bifang could only squint to check the target, like an observer next to a sniper, explaining the origin of the target to the audience.
With Bifang's reminder, everyone also found the little guy in the bush who looked very similar to a mouse, but was larger than an ordinary rabbit.
"Although the tree hyrax looks similar to a marmot, and its mouth is even more pointed, it is not a mouse, but a member of the family Hyraxidae."
"There are two common hyraxes on the grassland. One is the tree hyrax that lives in trees during the day and comes out at night, called 'Eastern Tree Hyrax', and the other is the rock hyrax that likes to bask in the sun, called 'Rock Hyrax'."
"It's getting dark, and it's still active at this time. It's definitely a tree hyrax."
"Let me tell you something interesting. Although it's not big, if you go back in time, this guy and the elephant have the same ancestor, and their bones and muscles are almost the same as those of elephants."
"In addition, there are manatees and dugongs, which are also distant relatives."
【??? 】
【Little friends, do you have a lot of questions?】
【This thing will be gone if an elephant kicks it】
【It can't be said that it doesn't look like it at all, it can only be said that it has nothing to do with it】
【It feels just a little bigger than Jerry】
The netizens were shocked by the outrageous size ratio between the two. They really couldn't imagine that a rabbit that was about the size of a marmot, covered with hair, and had a pointed face and monkey cheeks could be a relative of the elephant, the largest creature on land. It was really surprising.
It is doubtful whether it has Gambian rats.
In fact, the hyrax and these animals have a common ancestor.
In the process of evolution, this ancestor evolved in different directions: one gradually became larger and adapted to aquatic life, forming the current manatees and dugongs; one became even larger and formed the current elephants; and another gradually became smaller, forming the current hyrax.
Perhaps there are other directions, but humans have not yet discovered them, or they have long been extinct over the long years.
"I heard that in the visitor center of Serengeti, these tree hyraxes are very smart, and they will act cute and ask for food from tourists."
"But this is not a visitor center. Tree hyraxes are very agile and flexible. They like to live in trees and are good at climbing trees. On the contrary, I have said many times that because the cheetah's claws are semi-retractable, it is inconvenient to hold the tree trunk, and its climbing ability is very poor. Therefore, it is still unknown whether Halley can catch the hyrax."
After saying that, Bi Fang closed his mouth and stopped talking, giving all the camera language to the focused Halley.
Halley never looked away from lying down to standing up.
The tree hyrax chewing the tender leaves in the bushes was completely unaware of the impending danger. The night was about to come. After a day of rest, it was hungry and chewed the tender leaves in front of it.
At this time, Harley had come down from the earth slope, lowered his center of gravity, and approached the target silently.
Just when everyone thought that the next exciting hunt was about to begin, a shrill howl resounded throughout the grassland.
The sound was too miserable and frightening.
The hyrax, which heard the sound, was so absorbed in eating that it realized that something was wrong. It suddenly disappeared into the bushes and turned into a black shadow. When everyone saw it again, it was already in a tree canopy not far away. The whole process took no more than five seconds.
Harley looked around for a while and quickly returned to Bifang, as if this would bring some sense of security.
Bifang stood up and came to the earth slope where Harley had stood before. After raising it three or four meters, he looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a group of African buffaloes, the famous widow makers.
At this time, the African buffalo herd was obviously in a commotion, and all the young buffaloes were protected in the center of the herd.
Of course, African buffaloes could not make such a sharp and penetrating sound. The real maker of the sound was a group of hyenas next to the buffalo herd.
Hyenas again.
Seeing the old acquaintance again, the fans couldn't help but sigh that it was really a narrow road for enemies. It was worthy of being the second brother of Africa, and it could be seen everywhere.
But this time, their situation was a little bad. It was like an internal conflict. The tribe members surrounded a lame hyena and attacked.
After zooming in on the picture, with super high clarity, everyone could see that the besieged hyena had been opened up, revealing the pink internal organs.
There was even a big hole in the head, and half of the ear drooped down, revealing the bright red muscle tissue at the junction. A hyena came forward to bite the wound, and the injured hyena desperately turned its head to try to stop it.
The scream just now was undoubtedly made by the injured hyena.
Bifang also just glanced at it and roughly understood what happened.
"It is highly likely that these hyenas have not caught prey for a long time. They launched an attack on the buffalo herd, but failed. One of the low-level hyenas was injured, seriously injured. Look at the abdomen of the injured hyena. It is too far away for me to tell, but it is basically certain that it was pierced by the buffalo horn."
While Bifang was speaking, one of the three drones quickly approached to shoot, and the audience quickly confirmed this statement. The bright hole in the side abdomen was too obvious. Hyenas could not cause such a wound.
"Low-level hyenas, seriously injured, have not hunted successfully for a long time, and this group of hyenas are ready to attack their companions."
Seeing this scene and hearing Bifang's analysis, the audience felt horrified at this time.
It was not completely dark yet, but Bifang took the lead in turning the screen into black and white to reduce the impact of the picture.
What happened next was not unexpected by Bifang. The picture was so impactful that he had to move the camera away, but the sound did not disappear. The audience only heard the screams of the hyenas, and they had goose bumps all over their bodies.
Jerry also got into the pocket again, ignoring everything outside the pocket.
Even though the lower body of the hyena was hollowed out and scattered all over the ground, the injured hyena still got up from the ground and struggled several times.
"Let's go, this place is no longer safe."
Even Bifang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the scene, and called Harley beside him to quickly leave this place.
