Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 91 Looking for Shanlizi ([-])
The three of them waited for a long time, during which snowflakes were still falling. After a while, their bodies were covered with a layer of snowflakes, but there was no trace of Shanlizi. This should not be the case. Zhang Peng was also a little unsure. Oh, could it be that Shan Lizi noticed something strange?

This is also possible. Maybe Shanlizi is nearby observing their every move. Seeing such an obvious pie, it has its own judgment. Thinking of this, Zhang Peng was suddenly startled, turned around and pointed the gun at Behind him, he kept scanning, looking for suspicious spots, but the shrubs were too dense. Although there were no green leaves, he still couldn't see clearly.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli were both startled. They were also very surprised when they saw Zhang Peng suddenly turning around. They turned around quickly and carefully observed the situation behind them. Zhang Peng didn't answer, and then he hugged the front, and then As the gunfire rang out, a yellow figure suddenly sprang out from the rear right, and then ran quickly towards the back.

Zhang Peng was waiting for this moment. Following the running trajectory, he calculated the next move in advance, then quickly pulled the gun bolt and fired two shots. The yellow shadow seemed to pause for a moment, and then disappeared. Stop and continue running forward until it disappears.

"Second brother, let it run away again. It was too dangerous just now," Wang Xiaoli said from the side.

Because the time interval was so short, he still hadn't realized what was going on. Why did Zhang Peng suddenly turn around and shoot, and Shan Lizi also jumped out at the same time? He was very surprised.

Zhang Peng also put down the gun in his hand. There was still a little sweat on the palm of his hand. It was too dangerous just now, and this time Da Huang and Xiao Hong still didn't react. What was going on? Just now Zhang Peng suddenly I thought that since they were hunting, the mountain raccoons were also hunting. The mantis stalked the cicadas before the oriole followed, and the mountain raccoons must have used it.

"Well, it was too dangerous just now. We are lucky to be able to discover it in time."

"But why didn't Dahuang and Xiaohong react? This shouldn't happen. The mountain raccoon wasn't too far away from us just now. There should at least be a warning." Zhao Chunming asked in confusion.

"I guess it's because of the weather and wind direction. It's been snowing now, so the smell is somewhat obscured. In addition, we are always in the windward position, so the smell can't spread at all, so the noses of Big Yellow and Little Red can't. It just failed.”

Zhang Peng lowered his head and looked at Dahuang and Xiaohong who were sitting next to him. He was also a little helpless. This mountain raccoon was very good at choosing ambush positions. He would not reveal his whereabouts and could attack his prey. He was indeed one of the best hunters in the mountains. , they still have to think about it in the long term. Even if they want to find it, they have to be prepared for a sneak attack from behind. This is not an option.

If they meet head-on, Shanlizi is really not a heavyweight for them. They will probably be knocked down by Zhang Peng and the others in a face-to-face encounter. But now Shanlizi has remembered them and plans to fight guerrillas. It's really difficult to do.

Zhang Peng also lost his temper. This guy really didn't believe it. A little mountain fox could make them run around?Then he wouldn't have to go up the mountain anymore.

Then Zhang Peng took Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli to check the route that Li Zi had just escaped. Following the route, they found an obvious blood stain left on the snow. It was very obvious that Da Huang and Xiao Hong also ran away. Go over, then smell the blood on the ground, then raise your head and keep sniffing.

"Second brother, this mountain raccoon is injured, so he shouldn't be able to run far. Let's walk along the blood trail."

"Well, let Dahuang and Xiaohong lead the way. Let's walk along the trail. If we don't knock it down today, we won't go back." Dahuang and Xiaohong had just memorized the smell of the mountain civet. , and Xiaohong was even more familiar with the mountain raccoons and seemed very excited. Although the mountain raccoons were top-notch existences in the forest, they still had opponents, among which the wolves and the jackals were their biggest opponents. , of course, the corresponding mountain raccoon is also the natural enemy of wolves and jackals.

In our impression, wolves and jackals are social animals. In fact, in the season when food is abundant, that is, in summer, wolves and jackals will live alone or in pairs, because food is relatively abundant at this time, and lone wolves You can also hunt enough smaller prey to be able to eat and drink enough without having to share it equally with others.

In the season when prey is scarce, that is, in the cold winter, there are fewer small animals and it becomes increasingly difficult to catch them. Catching large prey requires the cooperation of several wolves or jackals. At this time, they are more inclined to live in groups.

When wolves or jackals live in groups, it is a disaster for mountain raccoons, because they will also attack mountain raccoons and rob mountain raccoons of their food.

The diets of wolves, jackals and mountain raccoons overlap, and mountain raccoons like to live alone. Only mothers and underage children will live together temporarily.In this context, wolves and jackals will take advantage of their large numbers to rob the mountain raccoons of food. The mountain raccoons have no choice but to temporarily hide and give the food to them.

However, both the wolf pack and the jackal pack have one advantage. The uneaten food is left on the same place. After eating, the mountain raccoons can still eat some leftovers.Like tigers and leopards, mountain civets have the habit of "hiding food", hiding uneaten food and waiting to eat it next time.

Wolves and jackals will also attack mountain raccoons, because mountain raccoons are their competitors and also a source of energy during times of food scarcity. If the mountain raccoons are not quick when faced with a group of wolves or jackals, If you avoid it, you will be in trouble.

But in the season when lone wolves or pairs of jackals live, everything will be reversed. Mountain wolves will specifically attack smaller wolves or jackals, and will even take advantage of jackals or wild wolves. When parents are not at home, they kill little jackals or wolves.

The advantage of this is that the survival rate of young wolves or jackals is low. The diets of wolves, jackals and mountain raccoons overlap. With fewer jackals and wolves, the prey of mountain raccoons becomes more , which is more conducive to the survival of mountain civets.

At the same time, killing wolf cubs or jackal pups can also lead to a reduction in the number of wolf packs and jackal packs during the group living season, and the development of wolf packs and jackal packs will also be inhibited.

If there are too many lynxes in a mountain, the wolves may fall into negative growth and may even be expelled from the mountain.

It can be seen from the relationship between wolves, jackals and lynxes that lynxes and wolves have overlapping diets and overlapping activity areas, so conflicts will break out after they meet.

During the period of wolf pack activity, lynx are at a disadvantage; during the lone wolf activity, lynx are relatively strong. They will attack smaller lone wolves, but they are powerless against larger adults.

And Xiaohong has a feud with Shanlizi, so she is particularly excited to find Shanlizi.
