Chapter 304 Rainforest Leopard Hunts Forest Pig

The rainy season is approaching, and the growth progress of the three young Shoebills has fallen behind.

When Zhao Yanling and Fatty returned, they saw the whalebill stork slowly and quietly poking it into the water with its huge beak.

When it looked up, the water friend was surprised to find that what it poked was a wooden stick soaked in the water.

Everyone burst out laughing!
Oh, it's not a fish?
The shoebill was stunned for a moment before spitting out the stick.

While laughing, he was even more worried about the fate of the three cubs.

It took a few steps forward and stood still again.

Water friends said it was stupid, but Zhao Yanling said: "Shoebill stork's hunting and viewing are average, but its terrible patience can make it succeed every time. They are quiet and cold. Don't look at it as if it is stupid and not moving, in fact, there is something wrong with it." A show of patience. Once prey emerges, it kills with one blow."

As he spoke, he took the branch in the fat man's hand and poked it into the water.A lungfish was disturbed by him and fled towards the shoebill.

The shoebill's movement was not fast, but it firmly grabbed the lungfish, raised its neck, pecked back and forth a few times, and swallowed it into its stomach.He looked sluggish, but he was a powerful player.The lungfish struggles vigorously, but the shoebill's large head and wide mouth remain motionless and unaffected.

When it stretched its bent neck, with the feather crown behind its head, it looked like a Tyrannosaurus rex.

When it wants to feed its young, it regurgitates the fish from its stomach and stuffs it directly down its young's throat.

"Am I the only one who thinks that the Shoebill looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex?"

"Me too, especially when it's hunting."

Zhao Yanling walked over, put his hand on its head, and instilled the energy of the holy spring.The Shoebill stork was always dumbfounded, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Zhao Yanling went to the bird's nest again, stretched out her hands to instill energy into the eldest and second child respectively, and finally held the youngest third child in the palm of her hand, who was also the most miserable and dying.

The shoebill stork didn't stop him, his eyes were calm, and he looked at everything indifferently.

"Take only the smallest? What about the others?"

"Then the second child must die?"

Zhao Yanling took out the smaller one from the collapsible pot, picked up a few handfuls of withered grass, softened it with his hands, and put it inside.The little thing is only the size of a palm, dry and pitiful.

Put it in a small basin, and asked the fat man to weave a small basket not much bigger than a grasshopper cage, and a small basket woven from water onions filled the small basin.

For the sake of it, Zhao Yanling caught two more fish and put them in the fish basket for the fat man to carry.

Seeing that the water friend was not finished, he clamored for him to take over the second one.

He could only say: "Although you pity the whalebill storks, you must know that the survival of the fittest has always been like this. If we take the second child away, and the eldest one suddenly falls ill and dies, then the adult whalebill storks will be unprepared." If I keep the second child, one of them may die, but there will be an extra wild shoebill. So, I will only take the weakest one, don't push too hard .”

He and Fatty decided to head south along the river, to give the sleepy third child the energy of the holy spring and make him feel better.He also scooped up a small handful of water, scattered it into water droplets and poured it on its body, cut a piece of fish meat and fed it to it.Because it ranks third in the bird's nest, Zhao Yanling directly named it the third child.

Even so, Zhao Yanling was not sure if it could persist.It's really in a bad state. If he didn't help, the deadline is probably within two days.

After listening to his persuasion, most water friends are relieved, but they have a better understanding of the cruelty of nature.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, used to be just a slogan.The sales world uses wolf nature as an example. In fact, they don’t understand what the real wolf nature is. The wolf nature of nature can abandon wives, eat children with poison, and kill each other. It is really for survival and for reproduction Opportunity even at the risk of life.

Therefore, when Zhao Yanling saw a book like "The Way of Wolf Nature" in a bookstore, he would feel that the author was very stupid.If he stood in front of him, he might whip him like a crocodile, teaching him the true way of being a wolf.

The two spent too long in the swamp area by the river, and the river was very wide, and they didn't want to take the risk of swimming across it, so they agreed to go downstream along the river.

The colorful sunbird has a long tail, and the needle-tailed Vida bird with a strong ability to stay in the air is an eye-opener for water friends.

These are ornamental birds that money can't buy, but they abound along the river.After walking for one kilometer, I saw more than 20 kinds of birds, which can be described as a paradise for birds.

The river has steep bends, twists and turns, and flickers in the jungle.

Zhao Yanling took out a compass for comparison, nodded and said, "Fortunately, this river runs fast, otherwise it must be beautiful."

The audience rejoices.

Without the obstruction of the river, the two overcame the thorns and thorns, and then entered the jungle.

After walking for a while, the peppermint stick insect extract sprayed earlier evaporated, and the sun was setting to the west, and more mosquitoes and flies became active, and some went straight into the eyes.In the blink of an eye, the eyelids can even pinch a winged creature the size of a grain of rice, which is very annoying.

On the fat man's arm, there was another thick layer, which looked like a sweater...

Holding a tree, he turned around and said, "No, just spray more, if this continues, the two of us will be eaten by mosquitoes."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to scratch the red envelope on his body, and the scratching became more and more itchy.

Zhao Yanling was also bitten badly, and immediately took out the spray, and the two of them sprayed it all over their bodies, and the effect was immediate.

At this time, the fat man pointed his fingers and said disgustedly: "The resin from this tree is like milky white glue, which is a bit disgusting."

Zhao Yanling looked over and saw that the tree the fat man was leaning on had a diameter of one meter, the bark was very thick, and there were countless cracks.There are dense knots of knots on it, the tree is 10 meters high, and the top is bent.

He said happily: "It's right, this is an avocado tree."

There are not a few trees that bear fruit in the tropical rainforest, but they are similar to those in the South American tropical rainforest. 90.00% of them are inedible, and some are so poisonous that even monkeys will not eat them.Some contain some alkaline substances, which have hallucinogenic effects when eaten.

The fat man looked up and said, "Things are good things, it will take a lot of effort to climb up to pick them."

The canopy of the avocado tree is spread out, and in the middle of the rainforest, there are at least 500 trees per acre.It is so dense, of course, we have to compete for sunlight resources. There are many trees that can grow to a height of 60 meters in a few decades.The crowns between trees are usually separated by height and height, as if by convention.

This is just entering the jungle, and the height of the surrounding trees is limited, so the avocado tree has a place.

Zhao Yanling put the third child's basket on the ground and took out a whip: "Stay back and don't get in the way."

As he spoke, he swung the whip and hung it on the low tree trunk next to him.Then put on your gloves and start climbing.

Climb up the overgrown trunk, and then swing the whip to the trunk of the avocado tree.

The audience of "Discovery Channel" couldn't help being surprised when they saw this. Isn't this Indiana Jones' method?
"Indiana Jones!"

"The whip is very skillful."

If domestic water lovers listened to their words, they would definitely sneer: "The three axes of Indiana Jones are no farts in front of Lao Zhao."

With a flick of Zhao Yanling's wrist, the whip was shaken off, and with a pull back, the whip was neatly folded and held.He has been practicing diligently for several housekeeping skills, and of course they are far from being comparable to Indiana Jones' clumsy appearance.

Picking fruit from the tree, the fat man picked it up on the ground and put it in his pocket.After a short while, twenty fruits were stuffed, which heavily filled the empty space in the backpack.During the period, an avocado missed the third child.

"Old Zhao, come down." The fat man raised his neck and shouted. "It's almost enough, I can't carry it any more."

Next, they found plantains and coconuts.There were a lot of coconuts, and they were everywhere. Zhao Yanling packed a lot of plantains on his back, and the two of them tried the coconuts on the spot, and lost the shells.

The further you go, the deeper the forest becomes.Arbors pierce the clouds, cover the sky and block out the sun, bushes are overgrown, and there are countless exotic flowers and grasses.

But seeing the verdant grass and trees and the darkness, the lizard lying on the leaves waited for the catcher of the prey, and stared coldly at the two uninvited guests.

The abundance of biological species makes water friends dizzy and dazzled.There may be countless tiny lives hidden within a square inch.

Zhao Yanling put down the cuffs of his shirt: "In Congo, if you use a satellite map to look down from the air, you will find that the human settlements are bare and yellow like a desert. Because the rainforest is really not a livable place. The plants here are mostly spiky. Thorns and venom. The arms of Fatty and I have been scratched with blood, and Rinko is already red and swollen. Let me teach you how to distinguish water vines from wisterias..."

He pulled out his leg fork and chopped off a water vine and a wisteria. One flowed clear water, one had white pulp, one was smoother, and the other was scarred.

He and the fat man connected to the rattan pipe and drank some water.The water in the water vine is relatively sweet and has a unique fragrance.

The fat man muttered, "Not to mention, the water in this kind of vine is a bit sweet!"

Zhao Yanling suddenly stopped her movements and listened attentively.

Seeing this, the fat man took out his ax and was ready to strike at any time.

The bushes that were separated were rattling, and the sound of running was heard.

Zhao Yanling heard the unique groaning sound of the pig's nose.

The grass in front of them was separated, and a half-large forest pig less than one meter long showed its head. It spotted the two of them from a distance, and their movements paused, as if hesitating whether to run this way.

In such a short period of time, the Congo rainforest leopard with colorful body and strong muscles rushed from behind, with its front paws resting on the back of the forest pig.The rainforest leopard hooked its claws on the forest pig's flesh, and the rear half of its body swung forward inertially.

With its own weight, the forest pig was pulled down, and the rainforest leopard stretched out its head, split its bloody basin, and took a big mouthful under the forest pig's neck, biting its trachea.

All this happened so quickly that many people didn't even see the process clearly, and the forest pig couldn't even bark.

The beautiful streamlined body of the rainforest leopard, its clean hunting movements, and its flexible orientation changes are amazing.

However, Zhao Yanling's eyes lit up: "There is meat for dinner today..."

"..."
