Chapter 171 170. Breaking away
With the backpack buckled under his ribs and holding the polar bear cub on his chest, Su Yun hurriedly followed the footprints of the polar bear.

Under the begging of the audience, Su Yun reluctantly exposed the cub to the camera.

[Is this a polar bear cub?Are you sure you're not a rat, why is there no hair? 】

[Wuhu, so pink and tender! 】

[Why is your belly so big?Is there something wrong with Mao? 】

Su Yun tightened his clothes to ensure the temperature the cub needed, and said, "The newborn polar bear cub has no hair on its body, and its skin is pink and tender, so it looks very much like a newborn mouse cub."

"But polar bear cubs are much bigger than mouse cubs. A newborn polar bear cub is about 30cm long and weighs about 600g. The cub in my arms is heavier because its round belly is filled with Milk.”

The right foot was slightly hot, which was due to the blood circulation driving the temperature of the whole body to nourish it. Su Yun moved his toes freely and walked faster.

"Because newborn pups have no hair on the epidermis and no fat under the skin, they need a comfortable and warm environment."

Then, she turned her head and pointed to the hidden position of the female bear and said, "So, when the female bear gives birth in winter, she will dig a snow cave and seal it up, keep the temperature in the cave at zero degrees Celsius, and wrap it in her own hair. The cubs, prevent the cubs from freezing to death.”

"That's why the female bear quickly sealed off the den after driving away the male bear, she had to keep the temperature to keep her cubs alive."

"But no matter how much the mother bear takes care of her cubs, the mortality rate of her cubs being frozen to death is still hovering between 10% and 30%. In addition, after the beginning of spring, if the mother bear cannot catch food, not only will she not be able to feed her cubs, but for herself Survive and even eat their young to feed themselves."

"And the male bears will also attack the cubs to fill their stomachs, so the cubs that have not grown up will have a lower chance of survival."

The snow was deep, and walking on the footprints made by the bear's paws was very energy-saving.

Holding the sleeping cub, Su Yun said, "The mother bear definitely knew that a cub was missing, but she didn't look for it, but chose to raise only one, which is a better choice for her. With less stress in life, I can easily raise my only cub.”

"And the cub I picked up was contaminated with human scent and couldn't be sent back. It would definitely be eaten by polar bears. In addition, I can't just watch it freeze to death. I can only raise it first and wait for observation. After the polar bear hunt, it was sent to the official Canadian animal base."

[So cruel?Newly born cubs say no to it? 】

[Only we feel cruel. Animals have no moral sense in order to survive more easily. Don't bring your own thoughts to the female bear. 】

[The anchor said that polar bears will eat their own cubs, and the cubs in the snow cave just now were screaming loudly. The mother bear must know that she lost one. Do you think the mother bear will deliberately let the cubs freeze to death? Then go out and eat the cubs without any burden in your heart. 】

[Good guy, conspiracy theories are out]

The figure of the polar bear was still invisible, but Su Yun was not in a hurry. It was impossible to lose such traces as footprints.

Su Yun sniffed and said, "As the largest animal among carnivores on land, you can tell the size of the opponent from the footprints."

"The paws of a polar bear can reach a width of 25 centimeters, and the sharp claws are about the same as those of a brown bear, about 10 centimeters. The height of a polar bear standing upright is about 2.8 meters, which is not much different from that of a Siberian tiger."

"But the weight is far greater than that of the Siberian tiger. The maximum weight of the Siberian tiger can reach about 350 kilograms, but the maximum weight of the male polar bear can reach 800 kilograms. Even the maximum weight of the female polar bear can reach 400 kilograms. It is worthy of being the largest on land. Predators.”

"Relying on the wide soles of polar bears, the other party can not only walk freely on the snow, but also use the soles of their feet as paddles in the water. Therefore, polar bears are the only bears that can be regarded as marine mammals kind."

Around the mountainside, the terrain begins to descend, and standing at this position is just right to see the moving polar bear in the distance.

Slowly slide down the hill, pat your butt and continue to follow up.

The ice sheet is not flat, but made up of many finely broken ice floes, which are uneven. In some places, the floes protrude nearly half a person's height.

Su Yun walked very steadily. A fall in this place would not do any good. Some sharp coldness was exposed outside, making one's spine shivers just looking at it.

Su Yun can only step on the places where polar bears have stepped, which is not only safe but also saves effort.

Glancing at the polar bear cub on his chest, Su Yun frowned and said, "It seems that I have to face another difficult problem now, which is what should the polar bear cub eat when it's hungry."

"Although the cub is not hungry now, the milk in its stomach will be consumed sooner or later. Without calling for support, I have to think about how to feed the cub's stomach."

"The only reliable option is to find a female seal and rub it. But following the polar bear's ass is basically impossible to encounter a live seal."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Su Yun sighed, "I hope the polar bear can be hunted as soon as possible, so that I can leave here directly, and then the cub's milk problem can be easily solved."

"If the polar bear still hasn't caught food in another two or three hours, then I can only choose to give up tracking the polar bear and look for the female seal."

[Can polar bear cubs drink seal milk?You won't have diarrhea if you drink it. 】

[Young Cub: My good fellow, I never thought I would have such a good fortune. 】

Su Yun thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't cause diarrhea. The milk of seals is very rich. It is much richer than the milk of polar bears anyway. Maybe the cubs will be more resistant to hunger after drinking the milk of seals. After all, the milk of polar bears has no fat content." Seal milk is high in content.”

Su Yun is also not sure whether polar bear cubs will have diarrhea if they drink seal milk, but common sense tells Su Yun that they will not have diarrhea. As a wild animal, they have strong adaptability, and it is almost impossible to drink milk to have diarrhea, let alone seals are polar bears. The main food, meat can be eaten, why can't milk be drunk.

After walking again for more than half an hour, Su Yun stood on a huge raised ice block and looked at the polar bear in the distance. At this time, the polar bear was gnawing on the carcass of a seal with a mutilated body.

Although incomplete, most of the fat remained in place, enough to meet the polar bear's food needs.

The seagulls were very dissatisfied with the polar bears who appeared. They thought that the polar bears had robbed them of their food, but they didn't dare to approach them, so they could only wait obediently.

Su Yun nodded and heaved a sigh of relief, "Since the polar bear has picked up the food left by other polar bears, it should not continue hunting in a short time, so we just left it to find the mother seal to feed the polar bear cubs. "

After saying that, Su Yun took another look at the polar bear, avoided it, and headed south. Only in the south, close to the coast, could it be easier to find the female seal.

"Following the polar bear all the way, we didn't get what we wanted, but the other party got food, and we should also be thankful for it."

"It is becoming more and more difficult for polar bears to catch prey. Some experts predict that the species of polar bears will be completely extinct by 2100. I hope that during this period, humans can help polar bears rebuild their homes."

Without the footprints of the polar bear, Su Yun could only carefully step on the thick snow on the ice and feel his way.

"Animals like polar bears don't store food. Basically, after catching food, they eat the fat that is most helpful to them, and then leave the body on the ice and leave."

"As we have said before, arctic foxes are very willing to follow behind polar bears in order to obtain the leftover food that polar bears eat."

All the way to the south, the snow on the ice layer became thinner, and the ice sheet formed by the uneven broken ice also began to flatten. Su Yun felt a little relieved.

Along the way, Su Yun was watching for seal cubs on the ice. As long as he found the seal cubs and stayed by his side, he could find the mother seal.

Don't brag, get close to the mother seal, Su Yun thinks this is a matter of hand, if the affinity is raised, the mother seal can be dealt with.

Under the ice, densely packed affinities appeared from time to time. After seeing these affinities, Su Yun determined that this was a very good hunting ground. A large number of fish would attract predators, and seals might choose this place as their temporary residence. it's here.
