Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 798: Bite Marks

Burkina Faso sounds like a little-known small country in Africa, but when it comes to other nicknames, many people may have the impression that it is a country of gentlemen.

The country's name comes from its national language, which means a country of honest men and gentlemen.

The positive argument is that in Africa, where public security is extremely unstable, the people of Burkina Faso live a self-sufficient and leisurely life.

But from Bi Fang’s point of view, poverty and hardship are the true portrayal.

This is one of the poorest countries in the world. Nearly 80% of the country's labor force is engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. However, because the country is located on the edge of the desert, the land is flat and cannot retain water vapor, so the cultivated land is scarce and waterless, and it is very barren.

If you don’t have money, you can plant land, but you can’t grow famous. It’s probably such an endless cycle.

At this time, the land under Bi Fang's feet was even more desertified, with a large amount of sand and gravel mixed with fine sand grains. When encountering some steep slopes, it was easy to slip.

Rain is a big thing here. If a child is born in the rain, the people there will think that the child is born lucky and blessed by God, so they usually name the child Pa. Tewa means rain.

The local people even directly use clay to make houses, mix it with water, and then build walls and roofs, without worrying about what will be wet by rain and cause collapse.

While looking for prey, Bi Fang did not forget to give some explanations to avoid making the audience feel monotonous, but this undoubtedly increased the water consumption in his body, and he often had to stop to take a sip of water.

Due to its proximity to the equator, Burkina Faso is quite hot in late May.

Especially at the northernmost point where Bi Fang is located at this time, the highest average temperature during the day has exceeded 37 degrees, and a little strenuous exercise under the scorching sun can cause a lot of sweat.

Looking up a little, you can see the heat distorted by the high temperature in the distance, layer upon layer, denser than the waves blowing under the typhoon.

A handful of gravel slid down the hillside, and Bi Fang, who was wearing a light khaki expedition suit, stepped out and ran towards the top of the hillside.

When crossing the Sahara, the system only allowed a small amount of low-level system equipment. Bi Fang finally chose a khaki expedition suit that looked like Professor Indiana Jones. He said it was khaki, but the color was very light. Under strong exposure, it even looked like pure white.

The quality is as good as ever, easy and quick to dry, and there will be no embarrassing situation of sweat stains.

Standing on the hillside, Bi Fang looked around, the loess land was flat, scattered with a few thin trees, which were pitifully short.

Facing the sun, Bi Fang narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to find the prey.

It will be June in two days, and he only plans to spend three days to get a camel that is obedient enough, and he will set off on June 1 at the latest.

The best arrangement is to be able to gain something today and spend a day or two running in.

After all, catching it doesn't mean you can ride it, and some simple training is needed.

Most parts of Burkina Faso are plateaus, but the average altitude is not high, only about 300 meters, and the terrain is flat. The highest peak in the country is only 749 meters above sea level. Too good for us to ambush camels.

Bi Fang pointed to the great plain in front of him, glanced left and right, and said some basic knowledge about camels.

The camel is a very tall animal. When it is an adult, it is more than two meters tall, with a body length between 2.8 and 3.2 meters and a weight of close to 1,000 kilograms. It crushes horses and mules in terms of size.

In nature, big is strong, so the camel is undoubtedly one of the land overlords.

However, it looks cumbersome, but it is actually very flexible, and its body is very flexible. Their necks can be bent into an S shape like a cobra, which allows them to look around at any time and escape quickly.

The most important thing is that camels are also very fast, especially some dromedary camels used in competitions. They are full of explosive power, and their sprint speed is similar to that of wolves, up to 50 kilometers per hour.

Once December comes, the speed of camels will increase, because December is the estrus period for male camels. During this period, camels are extremely violent and in a state of excitement all the time, and their running speed has reached a new level. It is said that Up to 70 kilometers per hour, faster than a Mustang.

【Good guy, is this the power of love? 】

[What flows in the blood vessels is not blood, but the hormone of love]

[This hormone is more powerful than gasoline, powerful]

This speed also brings a powerful impact to the camel, just like a cannonball. Any animal hit by them will either die or be injured. In addition, the most common kick of ungulates is very dangerous, so grab Camel is not a simple thing, can use the terrain, is the best way.

When catching some large beasts, the use of terrain is particularly critical.

The most common way is to have a small soil slope, with both sides on one side, which can not only block the line of sight, but also block the spread of smell to a certain extent. When it suddenly appears, the distance that is pulled in quickly can also make the animals in a certain degree of deterrence. state.

Of course, it would be even better if there was some headwind.

Smell and sight are completely blocked, and Bi Fang rarely misses when the distance is less than 20 meters.

The record of capturing reindeer and black bear undoubtedly proves this point.

On the ground, a low shrub hangs down on the ground. Bi Fang squatted on the ground and helped some up.

The drone approached, and everyone clearly saw the bite marks left on the stems of the plants.

The manner in which the bark was peeled off, the shells of nuts left after eating, the teeth marks on partially eaten berries and shoots, the carcasses of carnivorous animals left over, and the condition in which the nests of prey were destroyed, etc. etc., will help you judge the types of animals living nearby and their living habits.

Bi Fang pointed to some obvious places, then raised his head, and said to the live broadcaster:

Many deer animals that gnaw on the tender stems of plants leave corresponding tooth marks, and the bark of the stems leaves a broken edge mark. The bark edge mark eaten by rabbits is smooth.

In summer, the bark gnawed by deer is torn and dragged into long strips, completely exposing the xylem of the tree. In winter, the bark is tightly attached and will only be bitten into scars. At this time, a large number of Clear tooth marks.

Sheep and goats also eat bark. Their teeth marks are usually oblique, while deer's teeth marks are vertical.

Rodent marks are often at the base of the stem - the hares are often the work of stripping young trees. The indefatigable beaver's gnaw looks as though it had been hacked with a hatchet, A deep scar with a conical top.

Squirrels will climb the tops of tree stems and strip the bark of young shoots. Sawdust and bark fragments are usually scattered under the trunk. But if there are also nuts or pine nuts scattered under the tree at the same time, it indicates that this may be Nut stealing birds did it.

Near a pile of empty husks on the ground, there is likely to be a burrow inhabited by rodents.

[write it down, write it down]

[Fang is amazing! 】

[Dry goods of professional hunters, collect them]

[Why, do you still expect to use it one day? 】

Bi Fang talked about the traces left by many common herbivorous animals in one breath, which opened the audience's eyes, but he changed the subject in the end.

But camels are different from all the above animals. They have a mouth full of tusks. At first glance, they don't even look like herbivores, but closer to carnivores, such as tigers and leopards. The traces can be seen at a glance.
