Chapter 269 [Bears in the Wild 2]
The sloth bear is a small bear in the bear family. It is the smallest except for the Malayan bear. But don't be fooled by its small size. It has a very ferocious character, because sloth bears are mainly distributed in southern India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and other countries.
The main food is honey and termites, but if he encounters meat, male sloth bears even dare to snatch food from Bengal tigers. Regardless of its size, it is a bear and a pure wild animal. Seeing two humans appear at the door of its home, especially a mother bear carrying a child on her back.
You can imagine how angry this mother bear would be when she saw two humans standing in front of her. In the case of protecting her children, sloth bears can even fight against Asian lions. Among the records of various bears killing humans, 80% are because humans took the initiative to provoke trouble.
Standing between the mother bear and the cub is a serious provocation in the eyes of the bears. It is a threat to the life and safety of their children. It would be strange if they let you go. Although the Indian subcontinent has had such a habit since ancient times, they like to catch sloth bears, remove their teeth and claws, put them on hot plates, let them practice dancing, and then perform circuses to make money.
The treatment of these sloth bears in Pakistan and Iran is even more miserable. In these Arab countries, there is a popular fight between sloth bears and dogs. Although the sloth bear is small, except for the Tibetan mastiff, no canine can threaten its life, and it can't beat the bear, so why is there a fight between dogs and bears?
That's because humans will remove all the teeth and claws of the sloth bear, and the sloth bear will lose its most advantageous fighting weapon. In addition, it has to face two to four fierce fighting dogs and sloth bears to fight, and the victory or defeat is only 50%. Either the hound wins the game, or the sloth bear wins the game.
Anyway, it's so tragic, blood and flesh are flying everywhere, and people with poor psychological quality don't dare to watch it at all. Now a sloth bear protecting its cubs appeared in front of the two workers. Although they were more than two meters apart, one was on the cliff and the other was below. But Indians all know that sloth bears are quite flexible and climbing trees and walls is not a problem, otherwise they would not be able to climb trees to eat fruits.
More than two meters high, it seems dangerous to humans, but in the eyes of sloth bears, it jumped up easily. Who wouldn't be afraid of a mother bear who has been crazy about protecting her cubs? The two workers who had just solved the problem of diarrhea were trembling with fear, supporting each other, and slowly retreating.
At this time, the sound of a large group of people roaring behind them sounded, just as the mother sloth bear roared to the two humans who invaded its territory and swore sovereignty. The huge noise has startled everyone, and this roar of the beast scared everyone. Of course, many people also heard that it was the roar of the sloth bear.
But people like Belsinger who have never been in close contact with those wild beasts, don't know what the roar is, it sounds very imposing. The anger and killing feeling brought by the roar could also be heard. Belsinger, who was half asleep and half awake, jumped up from the stone. He looked around blankly and shouted loudly.
"Get up, get up, there are wild beasts approaching, hurry up and pick up your weapons. If you know what kind of wild beast it is, tell me quickly."
Belsinger was really scared. He had cut down a lot of wood smoothly in the morning, but he didn't expect to face the challenge of wild beasts just after lunch break. He was still swearing and patting his chest to guarantee that there was no danger in the mountain. Isn't this a naked slap in the face?
In the future, what strength will I have to promise to the old housekeeper? In addition, if I encounter wild beasts, it will be life-threatening. These men who may die are the pillars of the family and the only adult men in the family who can make money.
If they die in the mountains and are killed by wild beasts, what kind of darkness will their families fall into? Poverty is the common killer of all mankind. Instead of wild beasts in the mountains, everyone got up quickly and grabbed the weapons around them under the urging of Belsinger.
Those who didn't even hold a stick, approach the person closest to them, and then form a protective circle that faces outward. Put your back inside the circle to prevent wild animals from attacking, after all, wild animals like to attack humans from behind.
Belsinger was very scared, but the old butler and some older and experienced people didn't care. Seeing Belsinger trembling down from the rock and putting on shoes, the old butler couldn't help laughing, patted Belsinger's shoulder and said comfortingly.
"Master, it's okay. I knew it was a female sloth bear when I heard the cry. Sloth bears seem to be in the lactation period in this season. It seems that this sloth bear mother is carrying a child on her back, so she roared so angrily."
Sloth bears are also bears, they bite people, and some individual sloth bears have even killed male Bengal tigers. It's clear who will win and who will lose when they can compete with such wild animals. Although I chose to believe what the old butler said, how can I not be anxious when human lives are at stake. Belsinger put on his shoes, put his hands on his waist and looked around, shouting loudly.
"Who left? Let's look at each other and see who left. Which direction did he leave? Let's support him and don't let the beasts hurt our companions. If they die, what will happen to their families?"
Everyone felt that it was true and they all felt the same way. They were all workers and the only men in their families who could earn money. If they died, everyone in their families would be in trouble. They couldn't help but feel sad. In addition, the master repeatedly asked them to find out who was missing.
The feeling of caring for the workers made them feel warm. Everyone looked at each other and looked for each other. At this time, the two people from the asbestos tile factory raised their hands and shouted to Belsinger.
"Master, our two workers are missing. Just now when they were eating, they said they had a stomachache and might have diarrhea when they went out. Now we meet the lazy bear. Both of them have knives on them. There will be no danger for a while. Let's go to rescue them."
What are you waiting for? Belsinger quickly called the bodyguards around him, whether it was a machine gun or a pistol, all loaded with bullets. If this lazy bear doesn't open his face and hurts his workers, Belsinger doesn't mind eating grilled bear paws tonight.
Which is more important, beasts or humans? Which one is lighter, Belsinger knows it clearly. Although the number of sloth bears has plummeted in recent years and their living conditions are very miserable, he is a beast. Humans have emotions, but beasts do not. Belsinger does not allow beasts to hurt their subordinates. Hurting one person is equivalent to hurting a family.

So he quickly called people, and a large group of people rushed towards the direction where the two people disappeared. At this time, the two people who were directly facing the sloth bear covered each other and pulled out the machetes at their waists, and then retreated little by little.
Keep your front facing the sloth bear to prevent the crazy female bear from attacking. If you really give your back to the beast, then congratulations, nine out of ten times you will not survive.
