I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 703 The Unsolved Mystery of the Little Lemming, a Sacrifice for Survival!

In the shot of the live broadcast room.

Although they have experienced several failures, the group of foxes are not discouraged. Obviously, in previous hunting activities, such scenes have happened more than once.

For such a failure, they are not discouraged. In the snow-capped snow and tundra, they search for the traces of the little lemmings, and use them as their own lunch.

Before that, the lemming, which appeared in the camera and revealed its whereabouts with its red hair, has disappeared now.

In fact, they do not have such a strong psychological quality as we imagined, standing still, allowing themselves to become fish and meat, and become a prey for predators.

After they hide their tracks, at least for a short time, they will not be noticed by arctic foxes.

Immediately afterwards, in the screen of the live broadcast room, the scene that appeared before was repeated.

Some of the little arctic foxes started digging holes in the snow, while the other part, after determining the approximate location of the lemming, smashed it down hard.

Although the success rate of this relatively sandy hunting method is relatively low, there are still many small lemmings captured by arctic foxes.

Unlike Lin Yang and Yue'er who rescued the little arctic fox with an injured leg and nearly fractured back, the injured arctic fox had a leg injury due to human factors.

And the picture that appears in the camera at the moment is completely a game between the food chains of nature.

On the one hand, lemmings need to seek opportunities to survive in the cracks under the memory of predators.

On the other hand, as the only mammal native to Iceland, the arctic fox can be regarded as the flagship species on this land of Iceland.

The so-called flagship species, Lin Yang has mentioned this term more than once to the water friends in the live broadcast room during his previous sea voyages.

He and his water friends have popularized science about the ecological responsibilities of sea turtles, which are flagship species in the local area.

The so-called flagship species is a species that can check and balance the number of wild animal species within a certain range.

On the other hand, as a relatively representative creature, it can become a local business card, and the arctic fox is a flagship species in Iceland. Their appearance can effectively check and balance the number of lemmings that spread without limit.

Before that, Lin Yang also explained to the water friends how strong the reproductive ability of lemmings is.

If there are no species at the top of the food chain to check and balance the overall population, then lemmings will still spread in the wild.

Well, it won't be long before lemmings make holes everywhere in the land of Iceland, whether it is in uninhabited tundra areas, or even spread to residential areas in coastal areas, which will have a great impact on the local ecology. destroy.

Although in the live broadcast room, the water friends saw the process of the arctic fox hunting and killing the lemmings, and they were worried for the little guys.

But in the laws of nature, the number of species needs to be weighed, so that the ecology can be balanced.

During the billions of years of the earth's evolution, this ecology has stabilized. Since we live in the vast world, we must follow the cruel law of the jungle.

If we say that before that, among the more shots recorded by Lin Yang, there are pictures of the harmonious coexistence between nature and species.

But at this moment, under the relatively sandy hunting method of the arctic fox, what is being interpreted is the relatively cold law of the jungle.

Hunted by groups of arctic foxes, the lemmings flicked around and changed positions constantly.

Under the ice and snow, they are playing games with huge predators. Although there is a huge difference in size, the whole game process is not as one-sided as the audience imagined.

The lemmings are not defeated like a mountain. On the contrary, in the process of competing with the arctic fox, these little foxes all hit a wall, and the number of failures is far more than the number of successes.

But having said that, the number of lemmings is relatively large.

Before that, no less than a dozen lemmings were recorded in the footage of the live broadcast room, and there may be tens of thousands of lemmings hiding under the ice and snow.

Even if water lovers are worried about the plight of lemmings, if you see tens of thousands of black mice hoarding under the ice and snow, the picture will definitely make the dense phobia suffer from self-isolation on the spot.

Yue'er has been observing the behavior of the little lemmings from the beginning to the end, and she suddenly said to Lin Yang with bright eyes like Mooseton:

"Brother Yang, I seem to have noticed some clues. These little mice don't seem to commit suicide to expose their positions."

After hearing her words, Lin Yang was also very surprised.

But I really want to hear what unique insights this girl has.

At this moment, tens of millions of water friends in the live broadcast room also have the same doubts.

After all, before this, the operation of these lemmings was too fascinating. It seems that there is no way to explain why they want to expose their positions in the ice and snow, attracting the coveted eyes of predators. .

Everything has a spirit, not to mention that lemmings are mammals, not just simple-minded single-celled organisms.

There is absolutely no need for them to make fun of their own lives. After all, it is not easy for other creatures except humans to walk around in this world.

Being able to involve and survive in a huge group in this icy world, there is no need for them to actively expose their position and let their prey kill them.

This behavior is too stupid, normal people can't do this kind of thing, and normal mice can't do it either.
Under the attention of thousands of water friends, Yue'er slowly expressed her opinion.

And from Lin Yang's point of view, the girl's understanding didn't seem to be a big problem.

Under the watchful eyes of the water friends, Yue'er said slowly: "In my opinion, these lemmings don't seem to be actively exposing their positions so that predators can kill them."

Her words were very short, but there was too much room for imagination.

Before Lin Yang could speak, the water friends in the live broadcast room began to discuss crazily.

"I seem to understand what Sister Yue'er said, and I'm terrified when I think about it!"

"I hate you riddlers the most, half-speaking, can you take care of our not-so-bright audience?"

"Sister Yue'er's meaning is very simple. Since these little lemmings living on the ice and snow tundra in Iceland voluntarily exposed their positions instead of letting the arctic fox hunt them down, then there is only one result, which is to hunt down their companions." !"

"I seem to understand that by exposing their position, the arctic foxes will be led to places where there are more companions. In this way, more companions will be hunted by natural enemies, and their living space will be expanded. It's not as serious as being involuntary!"

"That is to say, some of the little lemmings are likely to be taken away by the arctic fox while eating hot pot and singing songs in the cave? They don't even know how they exposed their position from the beginning to the end. ?”

"Oh my god! Listening to your analysis, this cute little mouse seems to have become black-bellied qaq."

"It would be incredible if they were like that!"

Although there is no way to understand the code of conduct of wild animals under specific behaviors with the logical way of thinking of human beings, it is undeniable that by exposing their whereabouts, they serve as the introduction of natural enemies, and then have a very dense population of the same kind Go hunting.

In this way, their own living space will be relatively spacious, and there will be no competition from the same species even for digging up tree roots.

Anyway, the vigilance of the little lemming that exposed its figure will be much higher, and it has even planned an escape route.

Therefore, even after the whereabouts are exposed, the little lemmings that were successfully hunted and killed by the arctic fox captured in the footage of the live broadcast room may not be the one that exposed themselves just now.

After hearing Yue'er's analysis, Lin Yang looked at this girl with admiration. After all, her analysis was indeed clear and logical, and based on the analysis of the recorded pictures so far, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Yue'er scratched her head and said with a smile: "Maybe I think these little guys are too scheming, but if lemmings have a very strong reproductive ability, they can occupy a piece of land in a short period of time and form a relatively If the density is high, they are likely to do such a thing!"

Although all things have spirits, not all small animals have human nature.

They tried every means to reduce their own kind, make their habitat wider, and dig out more grass roots.

Then their survival will greatly reduce the threat, and they can live better on this land.

In short, no matter what these little lemmings are actively exposing their positions to attract natural enemies, their ultimate goal is definitely not to actively die, but to be better and better in ways that people can't imagine. Live, even at the expense of your own kind.

"From Sister Yueer's words, it seems that they are not so cute qaq."

"Being able to act as a guide and hunt and kill one's own kind in order to spread one's own habitat range is obviously a little unreasonable."

"It's all for the sake of being able to survive. There's nothing real or not."

"Maybe the family of this little lemming was also hunted and killed by natural enemies when the last little lemming acted as a guide?"

"All in all, because the overall number is too inflated, we humans have no way to judge their code of conduct from our own perspective."

In the screen of the live broadcast room, the arctic fox, who has experienced obstacles everywhere, finally, after trying again and again, occasionally gains something.

Soon, due to the scattered lemmings, the arctic fox lost its target, and the hunt ended with the death of several mice.

And the arctic fox that got the food continued to wander in the ice sheet after a full meal.

Lin Yang's Voyager RV continued to head further north along Highway [-].

On the RV, the little silly dog ​​Aoao and the little cloud leopard Yaya were observing everything on the verge of happening from the beginning to the end.

They can't quite understand, in the wild environment, the efforts made by those animals to have a full meal.

After all, these two little guys have lived in an unnatural environment on a yacht since they were born.

In a sense, these two little guys are already fundamentally different from wild animals.

And the injured little arctic fox resting on the RV curled up and closed its eyes from the beginning to the end.

Before that, the injuries and hunger and thirst he experienced made him so exhausted that he fell asleep for a long time.

Lin Yang stretched his waist, and said to the water friends in the live broadcast room: "These lemmings have a very strong reproductive ability, so you don't have to worry about being hunted and killed by the arctic fox. Without a trace of lemmings, there are too many of them and they may even become a potential hazard for local people."

After farewell to the arctic fox and the little lemming, the Voyager RV continued to head north towards the more inaccessible areas of Iceland.

As Lin Yang drove, he gradually continued along Highway No. [-] towards the north of Iceland.

And those arctic foxes that appeared in the live broadcast room before are also drifting away.

After discovering that the lemmings had a good meal, those arctic foxes walked less hurriedly. Maybe there are more little lemmings under the ice and snow, but that is not important anymore.

Yue'er said to the water friends in the live broadcast room with great emotion: "It seems that the faster reproduction speed, in a sense, is not particularly good."

This is true.

Prior to this, water friends learned about this kind of little lemming that lives in the vast land of Iceland and has a strong reproductive ability after going through Lin Yang's science popularization for the first time.

They also believe that under the premise of having a strong reproductive ability, the ecological environment of these lemmings is relatively much better than they thought.

Lemmings are small, after all, and Iceland is big.

In the world of ice and snow, you can find your own place, even if you are hunted down by natural enemies, even if you experience accidents and die young in the process of growing up.

But the sheer number of species allows them to huddle together for warmth.

But in fact, it seems that it is not what the water friends imagined.

Because of Yue'er's previous analysis, these little lemmings are not so cute in the eyes of water friends qaq.

In order to allow themselves to have a wider habitat, they use all means to attract natural enemies to hunt and kill their companions. Such behavior, at least from the perspective of human beings, is incomprehensible.

What the water friends didn't expect was that Yue'er's analysis, after being disseminated in the live broadcast room and the Internet, the abnormal behavior of lemmings actively revealing their location and living towards death in the ice and snow has also aroused the attention of biological scientists. The relevant concerns of experts, and this set of theories, from a logical point of view, there is no problem.

Therefore, the local Wildlife Research Association in Iceland is trying to verify the behavior of lemmings by tracking the exposure of lemmings and hiding their tracks based on Yueer's theory when conducting scientific research on Icelandic wildlife next time. Possibility of inferring guesses.

Such news naturally reached Lin Yang and Yue'er through the live broadcast room.

With Lin Yang holding the steering wheel, the Voyager RV continued to follow Highway No. [-] and continued northward.

She smiled and teased Yue'er: "Maybe our Yue'er's theory can become an important basis to support the unsolved mystery of lemmings. In the future, your name may be included in biology papers."

Of course, Yue'er also knew that Lin Yang was just teasing.

She scratched her head with a smile, and replied, "I just made a random guess. If the results of the final research and investigation are really as I guessed, it's just a coincidence."

Although that is the case, if Yueer's relevant guesses can indeed find a more logical basis in the observation of wild animals.

Then the unsolved mystery surrounding the lemmings is likely to be solved.

The water friends in the live broadcast room joked one after another:
"Sister Yue'er: I was just traveling with Brother Yang, how did I solve the unsolved mystery of the lemming? This is ridiculous!"

"But it is undeniable that Miss Yue'er's observation angle is indeed somewhat novel, and logically speaking, the more you think about it, the more reasonable it becomes!"

"These little lemmings are really bad!"

"No way, the increase in the number makes them involuntarily serious. If you don't want to completely lay down and die, you can only find a way by yourself."

"Although lemmings are not highly intelligent animals, under the threat of survival, they will behave abnormally, which I think is very reasonable."

"After all, the survival of small animals is just to survive."

This is true.

As the water friends said, although these lemmings are small mammals, their intelligence is not as high as that of primates.

All the actions they do are just to enable themselves to live better.

In essence, they just want to survive. What is wrong with them? If they have to say something wrong, it is at the expense of the lives of their own kind in exchange for a more comfortable habitat for themselves.

Ridicule is ridicule, but the code of conduct for all animals in the wild environment is nothing more than a set of survival rules found in the process of evolution.

They survived in their own way, but this scene was recorded by Lin Yang's camera.

And on the wider earth, before the unknown evolution of the earth billions of years ago, such things were happening in every corner of the earth.

It is part of the law of the jungle of nature, a chapter in which all things continue.

Maybe it was because I learned a lot during the sea voyage with Lin Yang, and the water friends also opened their eyes again and again.

Their understanding of wild animals is naturally not the same as before. They understand that in the wild environment, the living conditions of animals are not as comfortable as people imagined.

The same is true for the little lemmings living in the cracks. Since they have no way to compete with giant natural enemies in a relatively cruel environment, they can only use some small means to find some bargaining chips for their own survival.

As Voyager traveled all the way north, the arctic foxes in the distance had disappeared.

In front of it is the sky full of wind and snow and the endless water source. The tundra exposed on the land makes this land even more desolate.

In an inaccessible environment, the Voyager RV is like driving on the snow-covered lunar surface.

If we say that after entering Iceland for the first time, what Lin Yang and Yueer recorded through the lens is like no man's land, more like a world lens.

But with the inaccessible environment, and as far as the eye can see, there are no traces of human activities at all. This place is more like another planet, rather than the end of the world.
