The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 298 297. Dances with Wolves
We returned to the ranch at two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.

The temperature suddenly rose to 28 degrees without warning, and it had not been excessive in the previous few days, but it suddenly became hotter.

Summer has arrived in a second, and the clothes he wore when he went to Cassidy's house in the morning can no longer be worn. Lin Feng went back and changed into short-sleeved shirts to feel the arrival of summer in advance.

The cattle and sheep are very smart. They spontaneously gather under the shade of the trees, especially by the quiet lake, where the trees are lush and the lake is sparkling, providing them with rare coolness.

David climbed into the back of the pickup truck and looked at the two wolves carefully with his hands on his hips.

"Uncle, look what kind of dog this is. I have never seen such a big... dog." Lin Feng said while drinking water.

David moved the wolf's head with his hands, opened his mouth and looked at the teeth.

Lin Feng didn't quite understand what this had to do with teeth. The breed could be roughly guessed from the appearance.

"It should be more time to watch the wolves." David said.

Lin Feng didn't understand because the name was a bit difficult to pronounce.

"As far as I know the North American gray wolf is the largest canid, but these guys look bigger than gray wolves!"

Among them, the Kenai Peninsula wolf was once the largest subspecies of all canids, with a body length of more than two meters, a shoulder height of one meter, and a weight of more than 1925 kilograms. It was considered completely extinct in .

"This is the North American gray wolf."

David exhaled a puff of smoke and his eyes deepened: "This may be because their habitat has been affected by climate warming, so they began to migrate south. It is also possible that human activities have violated their territory, forcing them to Looking for a new habitat.”

Lin Feng had never heard the name of this kind of wolf.

"There are many subspecies of gray wolves in North America, and the Mackenzie wolf is one of them, and it's the largest of them all."

"This type of wolf is mainly found in northern Canada and Greenland and is known for its huge size. Seeing their size, I guessed they might be Mackenzie wolves, and seeing their teeth, I was even more sure."

Judging from the evolutionary timeline, canines appeared earlier than cats, but cats have successfully completed "overtaking in corners" by living alone and getting larger and larger in size, so from some large Since dogs became extinct, canines have been suppressed by cats.

Take the extinct Kenai Peninsula wolf, for example. Among today’s wolves, the largest is the Mackenzie tundra wolf.

David calmly lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said, "This is a Mackenzie wolf, also called Mackenzie tundra wolf. There are other names, such as Michigan timber wolf."

It turns out that North American gray wolves are a general term. In addition to Mackenzie wolves, there are also Great Plains wolves, Arctic wolves, Eastern American wolves, Mexican wolves, etc. In addition to the existing species, there are more than ten species that have become extinct.

"Snow, why are they here?" Lin Feng frowned.

The uncle took a few puffs of cigarette and then spoke slowly.

Lin Feng nodded, finally understanding what David meant.

Among the existing canids, the largest is the wolf, but there are too many subspecies of wolves, some are not as big as dogs, and some are as big as jaguars.

David's words made him even more confused. Moreover, the old man liked to tell the truth and divided a sentence into several sentences.

"If global warming occurs, shouldn't these tundra wolves continue to migrate north? How could they go south?" Lin Feng asked.

David spread his hands and said that he was not a biologist, so how could he know this? He just said it casually.

However, this has indeed attracted the attention of relevant departments. Although tundra wolves can also live in the plains, they tend to prefer the cold, so that their fur can function and their hunting success rate is higher. As for what to do with the two big wolves he shot, Lin Feng originally planned to use their heads or something to make handicrafts, but now he has lost that enthusiasm and buried them on the spot.

Given the geographical location of the lakeside ranch, it is almost impossible for the tundra wolves to visit Lin Feng's territory because it is quite far away and there are more than a dozen ranches in between, unless they can clear the border step by step.

The Cassidy family has nothing to worry about. What they should be wary of are those small pastures with relatively weak defense capabilities. Some pastures have old fences that can smash an adult wild boar to pieces.

Speaking of wild boars, Lin Feng has been looking for a companion for the big wild boar in the small world, otherwise it will be too lonely.

But at this stage, her "pig of the same age" cannot be found, and I am afraid that the little sow will be ruined by the big guy.

There is also a planned chicken coop. Seeing that the number of turkeys is increasing, more manual intervention is needed, otherwise they will lay eggs everywhere and it will be difficult to collect them.

Just after he and David had dealt with the two wolves, Paul called. This guy's appearance was often accompanied by good news.

Sure enough, Lin Feng guessed it correctly, and Paul helped him contact a local yacht manufacturer in Seattle, and he was able to get a good price.

In this way, Lin Feng still needs to go to Seattle again. After several trips back and forth, he has already developed feelings for that city.

Paul told him to fly over and take a look when he had time, and talk about cooperating in opening a restaurant. Lin Feng was also interested.

As a rancher who can come and go freely, Lin Feng immediately booked a flight for tomorrow. This kind of thing needs to be done as soon as possible. After all, the island in the middle of the lake is still waiting for him to come back and develop it.

Paul was very happy and started making plans to play with him the day after tomorrow, and drinking would definitely be necessary.

Lin Feng's travel habit is to travel light. A set of clothes, a bank card and a mobile phone make up the list of all his belongings.

This time I didn't call my parents. On the one hand, the couple has been busy working every day since they expanded the vegetable garden. On the other hand, they planned to make a quick decision this time and come back as soon as they are done.

Jasmine was preparing for the horse racing competition. When the two were chatting, she said that if she could win again this time, she planned to quit her job in the police station and focus on her horse racing career.

Lin Feng absolutely supports it. He told Jasmine a long time ago that he can pursue his dream of being a rider without any worries, and he is her strong backing.

After chatting with Jasmine, I checked Instagram for a while to see what other beautiful photos the celebrities had posted.

He follows a lot of female stars, from Taylor Swift to the Kardashian family to Jordan's "quasi-daughter-in-law" Larsa Pippen, to South Korea's Lee Ji-eun and so on.

It has become one of the pleasures of life to come back and open ins every night to "peep" into the private lives of celebrities. I believe many people have this habit.

Of course, Lin Feng is now also an "Internet celebrity" with one million fans, and there are fans who look forward to seeing his authentic ranch life every day.

What surprised him was that NBA star Stephen Curry's wife Ayesha also followed him. Although she didn't leave a message, it was enough to make Lin Feng excited.

Maybe one day I can become friends with a circle of celebrities, which sounds worth looking forward to.

Turn off the lights and go to sleep. Since the window is open, you can hear the sounds of animals on the other side of the quiet lake.

He suddenly remembered something and sat up suddenly.

Fake, you must have been so busy these days that you forgot about the mountain lion in the small world.

I don’t know how the big guy gets along with the native pig.
