The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Not far away were a few trees that were propped on the ground like umbrellas, and a few baboons were standing on the trees and looking towards them.

"It's an acacia tree. It's full of thorns. Except for baboons, ordinary animals can't climb it. This kind of tree is also an evergreen tree in the prairie.

The ancestors said that giraffes' necks were not that long at first, but in order to survive, they had to work hard to make their necks longer, and then they could eat the leaves of acacia trees. "

The tour guide explained to them while driving.

This legend is very interesting, and it also made Tang Tian and Olsen laugh.

"what is that?"

The car drove forward for a while, and several barrel-like trees appeared in front of their eyes, and it seemed that at least a dozen people would hug them.

The top leaves of the tree are sparse and very odd looking.

"That is a gift from God, the totem of Africa, the greatest wealth of our ancestors, the baobab tree."

When the tour guide mentioned the tree, a strong piety appeared on the originally lazy face.

If he wasn't driving a car, he might really kneel down like worshiping a god.

From the mouth of the tour guide, Tang Tian and Olson heard the function of this tree.

After listening to them, they can also understand why the tour guide is so pious.

Africa is a paradise for wild animals, but it is also the most water-scarce continent. Take Nigeria as an example, the water here costs 50 RMB per ton.

And the trunk of this kind of tree, which looks like a big bucket, is basically filled with water.

When water is especially scarce, Africans will open a few holes in trees, and then drink water directly.

And it's not just the water in the tree. On the few trunks at the top of the tree, something called baobab fruit will grow.

According to the tour guide, the fruit tastes like bread when baked, and it tastes delicious when fried.

At first Olsen was only interested, but when he heard that it was delicious, he directly directed the tour guide to drive the car there.

There is a group of baboons on the top of the tree, and they scream when they see them approaching.

The tree is called the baobab because the fruit of the tree is a favorite of monkeys and baboons.

The tour guide is very professional. After going down, he greeted the bodyguards in the back car and yelled very threateningly at the baboons in the tree.

After losing the momentum, the baboons all ran down from the baobab tree and fled in a panic.

Tang Tian and Olsen stared behind him in a daze.

Sure enough, the solutions to the problems here are the most primitive.

After driving away the baboons, the tour guide pulled out the climbing tools directly from the trunk.

It can be seen that he usually does this kind of thing.

The texture of the tree is very loose, but fortunately it is not very high. The guide climbed up nimbly, and then directly knocked down the fruits.

The fruit is yellow and looks a bit like an immature coconut.

They shot a dozen or so, put them all in the trunk of the car, and then continued to drive forward.

When they arrived at the temporary camp for rest, they all got off the car one after another.

The tour guide and bodyguards went to bake baobab fruit, while Tang Tian and Olsen watched the scenery on the grassland in the distance with binoculars.

Because it is summer and the weather is hot, it is almost noon at this moment.

Those animals that used to walk on the grassland were hiding under the shade of the trees as much as possible to avoid the evaporation of water in their bodies.

Under the shade of these trees, they saw the king of the prairie, the African lion, which they had never seen before.

The African lion is the largest lion, second only to the Siberian tiger among cats, and is the veritable king of the grassland.

The manes on the male lion's head look domineering.

Where they are, other animals stand far away, for fear of becoming their prey.

Fortunately, the lion is a solitary animal, otherwise the biological population in this grassland would be greatly reduced.

Olsen took out the telephoto camera to take pictures, while Tang Tian turned the binoculars to other places.

In a relatively low-lying place, a group of African wild buffaloes gathered.

There should be a pond there.

Wild buffaloes are big and have horns. Even the pinnacle female lions dare not attack them at will.

As soon as they stopped there, they directly occupied the entire water source.

Other animals can only wait outside, and then go in after they finish drinking.

This is the magical place of the African grassland, where predators and prey are in a relatively balanced state.

But just as he was watching, suddenly a lame and injured lioness came into Tang Tian's sight.

Its belly was flat and it looked like it hadn't eaten in a while.

Tang Tian had watched some of Zhao Zhongxiang's programs before, and he still had some understanding of the survival of African lions.

The most impressive thing is the African lion and the "flat-headed brother" honey badger. The honey badger is not afraid of the sky, nor the earth, nor the African lion.

But in fact, the fundamental reason why African lions don't fight honey badgers is that the pay-return ratio is very low, and the risk is very high.

It is only a small piece of meat if you win, but once you are injured, you may face death.

Here, the laws of nature are brutal.

Just like the lioness Tang Tian saw, due to injuries and being unable to complete the hunt, starvation, the combat effectiveness was further reduced, and death was only a matter of time.

"What are you looking at?"

Olsen's voice came over at this time.

"That lion is so pitiful. Does it want to drink water?"

Olsen should have also picked up the binoculars and looked over there.

"Not necessarily, it looks hungry."

Tang Tian said.

There was a hint of surprise in his tone when he said this, because the lioness was already ready to attack.

But for a wounded lioness to attack such a herd of wild buffalo is almost suicide.

"what!"

Amidst Olson's screams, the lioness charged towards the buffalo herd, and her goal was a calf.

But before it rushed over, all the adult buffaloes stood together to protect the little buffalo, and the buffaloes outside used their horns to hit the lioness.

The lioness's reaction seemed a little slow, her stomach was almost pierced directly, although she avoided it, she was still injured, and blood flowed down from it.

It limped away from the buffalo herd, stood unwillingly in the distance for a while, and then left with its head bowed.

It should not be far from death.

Olson felt a little distressed.

But Tang Tian didn't react too much.

If the lioness really kills the calf, it's time to feel sorry for the buffalo again.

Just like the previous tour guides who drove away the baboons to get the breadfruit, the natural law of competition in Africa is the most direct, and the strong survive.

Chapter 423 Little Lucky (Third)

Seeing Olsen's sad expression, Tang Tian comforted her for a while, and then the two returned to their temporary camp.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled a smell of bread, and it was a mellow kind.

Sure enough, nature is the most amazing place.

The tour guide took out the breadfruit with a knife and cut it open, and the smell came out again, which really made people have the urge to drool.

The fruit inside is petal by petal, and you can pick it out with a knife and eat it directly.

Tang Tian blew one piece cold and handed it to Olson, and then ate one himself.

The entrance is very sour. Although it smells and tastes like bread, it tastes much worse.

This is also normal. The African continent has sufficient sunlight and scarce water sources. No matter what kind of tree it is, most of the trees that can bear fruit are rich in vitamins.

However, this kind of sourness is within the acceptable range of people, and it tastes very stimulating to the appetite.

Olson ate happily.

"Ow! Ow!"

At this moment, some baboons appeared tens of meters away from the camp, screaming at them, drooling all over the place.

They obviously smelled these fragrances.

This should be the group that was driven away by them before.

Olson took a baked breadfruit and was going to throw it over to them.

"Hey my friend, don't do that!"

Seeing her move, the tour guide stopped him immediately.

"Those monkeys, it's okay if you don't give them food. If you give them food, they will attack people if they are not full."

The tour guide went on to explain.

It's very African, even the monkeys are so lazy.

Olsen put the breadfruit down when he heard it.

"Ow!"

At this moment, another roar came from outside the camp.

After the group of baboons heard the sound, they ran away in an instant.

"It's a lion!"

A bodyguard yelled, and everyone else picked up the guys one after another.

Guns are not banned in Nigeria. As long as you get a permit to enter the protected area, self-defense guns are allowed.

But generally speaking, animals in protected areas do not attack humans, so this is considered an emergency.

Tang Tian guarded Olsen behind him, then turned around following the voice of the security guard, and found that the one who broke into the camp was a lioness with blood dripping from its belly and limping.

"It's it."

Olsen was a little nervous at this time, but he still recognized the lioness as the one that attacked the buffalo herd earlier.

It appears that it has been cornered.

The lion was approaching, and the guides were loaded and loaded.

"Don't shoot yet, throw some of the food we brought to it."

Tang Tian said.

Olsen's love is overflowing, which can be seen from saving the beauty before, to loving the lioness in the front, and wanting to give breadfruit to the baboon.

Had the lioness been shot right in front of her eyes, her whole holiday mood would have been ruined.

When the bodyguard heard what he said, he immediately turned around and went to get the food.

Animals can be shot and killed when the protected area is in danger, but it is troublesome to follow the procedures later, so I definitely don't want to kill them if I can.

Some meat products that were prepared before were thrown away.

The lioness didn't dare to move at first, and after the guide signaled everyone to back off, the lioness picked up the meat, glanced at them, then turned and left.

The small crisis was resolved just like that.

Tang Tian looked back and saw Olsen looking happy, this food was worth it.

After eating and drinking enough, they continued to go deep into the hinterland of the reserve.
