Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 866 Caught the Ostrich's Son

When you are full of water, the feeling of hunger surpasses thirst and becomes the greatest need of the body.

The ostrich with a strong physique is jumping forward on the rock pile, heading towards the entrance of the underground river, its black feathers fluttering in undulations.

Looking at the familiar route of the ostrich, it is obvious that this is also a old customer.

Harley, who had been hungry for more than a day, was eager to try. The genes in his body gave him a hunting instinct.

When it kept pressing its paws and the muscles on its shoulders surged like running water, Bi Fang held down the restless cheetah, shook his head and explained to the audience in a low voice: Don't pounce when the animal is about to drink water. Not a good opportunity.

Thirsty will weaken the animal's nerves, but when it knows that it is about to drink water, its brain will be excited for a short time, and at the same time remain highly alert to the surrounding environment. At this time, the probability of failure will be very high. Always be aware of what's going on around you.

Look at the ostrich's head, it is looking left and right, observing the environment.

Bi Fang held down Harley's head with one hand, and stretched out the other hand from between the rocks, pointing at the ostrich.

The drone filmed the past from the perspective of the finger, and the audience saw that the ostrich obviously slowed down after approaching the entrance of the cave, and at the same time, the frequency of looking around increased greatly, obviously very alert.

The ostrich's eyeball is bigger than its brain, and it has the largest eyeball among land creatures. Although there is no necessary connection, it may also be because of the excellent eyesight of the ostrich, which can see things 3 to 5 kilometers away, so be careful.

We wait for it to come out after drinking the water. That's the best chance. After drinking the water, the animal will be in a comfortable state. At this time, the nerves will be more relaxed. It is also a good opportunity for us to catch it by surprise.

Of course, we can actually catch the turtle in the urn. After the ostrich enters, we will follow in and catch it, but the cave is too dark, and we haven't explored it well. We don't know if there are other exits, or if there is any hidden danger. It's better Don't take such a risk, just wait here for it to come out.

[Ostrich: There is a dog! 】

【Drink the last meal beautifully】

[drink, drink hard]

In this way, Bi Fang and Harley chose to stand still in the face of the ostrich in front of them.

Watching the huge ostrich enter the cave bit by bit.

Watching the prey disappear in front of his eyes, the cheetah Harley became a little impatient, grabbed the cuff of Bi Fang's clothes with his paws, and opened his mouth to bite lightly.

Bi Fang retracted his hand and ignored it.

He can be sure that if Harley was really allowed to go out at that time, with the ability he grew up in the protection center, there is a high probability that he would return empty-handed.

Cheetahs are carnivores, and their main prey are small and medium-sized ungulates, including Thomson's gazelle, Gazelle's gazelle, and impala, but ostriches are also frequent predation objects of cheetahs.

Although the cheetah runs fast, because the distance it runs is limited, the cheetah will try its best to approach the prey step by step when hunting.

Approach to a distance of 10 to 30 meters from the prey and then hunt the prey.

Because the cheetah's teeth are relatively short, sometimes the cheetah can't use its teeth to bite the food to death. It often uses the upper and lower jaws to clamp the neck of the prey like pincers, causing the prey to suffocate to death.

It usually takes five to ten minutes for those large prey to die.

Let's get closer to make it easier for Harley to shoot and increase its probability.

【Ah, Lao Fang wants Harley to do it by himself? 】

【Reliable? 】

[A person and a cheetah, but we actually feel that no one is reliable for cheetah hunting. Is it in the river (eating watermelon)]

Let it try.

He had only been hungry for a day, and his physical condition was not bad, so Bi Fang didn't have the idea that this ostrich was inevitable. He was going to let Harley try it himself to see how its hunting talent was.

For cheetahs, it's even easier.

Wild animals do not have three meals a day, and whether they can eat meat basically depends on luck.

Most carnivorous animals can go without eating for a week without any problems. Only when they have cubs do they need to hunt every day. They live alone on weekdays, basically once every two days.

It's just over a day now, less than two days.

There is no problem if you can't catch it.

Compared with its compatriots in the wild, Harley's food is definitely a day in heaven. There is even a lot of fat in the body, and it feels fleshy.

Complaining now is completely because I haven't had a hard time.

After living more in the wild, this guy will understand what cruel nature is.

Bi Fang led Harley forward for a few meters and came to a place closer to the entrance of the cave.

This location is not as good as it was just now. It can't hide the figure of one person and one leopard. However, the main purpose of ambush is to surprise them. When the ostrich comes out, the direction changes, and they can't be seen directly.

Waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Bi Fang, who put his head on the rock wall, became alert. He didn't hear anything from the ground, but the ostrich's head appeared in sight.

Harley's breathing became low, and his eyes fixed on the ostrich in front of him.

Even Jerry poked his head out of the backpack, a pair of small dark eyes fixed on him.

Chasing, throwing, biting, remember these? Go!

Bi Fang spoke in a low voice, wondering if the cheetah could understand human speech, and finally slapped the cheetah on the butt.

Driven by this slap, the already condescending cheetah jumped out of its entire body in the air. It only touched the ground twice, and it covered a distance of more than ten meters, and came behind the ostrich.

At this time, the ostrich didn't react at all until Harley landed on it. Under the feedback of the touch, the whole body of the bird trembled and let out a cry full of fear.

The whole process was too short, and the audience in the live broadcast room didn't have time to see it clearly. They only felt that as soon as Bi Fang's voice fell to the ground, a black shadow jumped out from him, and after landing, he kicked and landed on the ostrich. Just don't know what happened.

Perhaps the audience can only see it clearly after the live broadcast is slowed down afterwards.

Only Bi Fang, who had amazing dynamic vision and superhuman nerve reflexes, could see clearly. Looking at the cheetah pounced on the ostrich, he clenched his fist and felt excited.

Well done, you can have ostrich meat today!

But just when Bi Fang thought so, he saw the frightened ostrich jump up into the air, and then the cheetah behind it lost its grip and fell to the ground rubbing the ostrich's feathers , and fell to the ground at its own speed, rolling several times in succession.

When he got up again, the ostrich had already escaped ten meters away.

The sum of the two distances exceeds 30 meters, even Bi Fang is powerless at this time.

However, Harley, who rolled several times on the ground, obviously didn't think so. Maybe he felt ashamed. After getting up from the ground, he continued to run after him.

The hunting instinct engraved in the genetic instinct made Harley desperately chase the escaped ostrich.

Bi Fang was not annoyed when he saw this, everything was expected, he grabbed his spear and chased after him.

Soon, the audience before the live broadcast saw the cheetah chasing the ostrich and Bi Fang chasing the cheetah through the drone flying high in the sky.

But soon, everyone saw the terrifying speed of the ostrich and the cheetah.

On the vast African grasslands, the ostrich took the lead, and the cheetah followed closely behind. It was almost only less than ten meters behind, and it looked like it was only half a body behind.

Compared with the first two, Bi Fang, who was at the back, seemed to be stretching his hips, and the distance was constantly lengthening.

In fact, Bi Fang's running speed at this time may not be half of the speed of the first two.

Almost a few breaths later, the taillights of the two guys in front were almost invisible.

Only spectators can keep up with the fierce competition between the two beasts through the high-altitude drone.

It was not until a few minutes later that Bi Fang saw the cheetah squatting on the ground and sticking out its tongue.

Clearly, this was a fruitless hunt.

[Good guy, failed]

【No surprise at all】

[So are you going to be hungry again today? 】

【Give you a chance, you are useless】

It doesn't matter, I have been mentally prepared for a long time, I can only say that it is expected.

Panting, Bi Fang stood not far away and looked at the cheetah behind the bushes, and laughed, not at all angry or annoyed because he couldn't catch the prey.

At his current level, even if he really can't catch prey, he can survive by looking for plants, beetles, etc., but the quality of life will drop a lot.

Bi Fang didn't care about these things, so there wasn't much of an existential crisis.

After adventuring again and again, there are still many events that can bring a sense of crisis to Bi Fang. Encounters with poachers, top predators, and rare natural disasters are extremely dangerous times.

Can be used as the most basic, routine dilemma.

The lack of food, the lack of water, these most basic difficulties can hardly bother Bi Fang anymore.

This is evidenced both at the North Pole and at Point Nemo.

This is the prairie. It doesn't always pay off. I believe Harley is not stupid at all. He has a hunting talent in his body. As long as he tries a few times, he will always discover it in the end.

After a while, Bi Fang stepped forward to call Harley back, but just as he looked over the bushes, his footsteps froze.

The audience who had been a little disappointed also stared wide-eyed.

Not that Harley caught the ostrich.

The ostrich was not caught, but the ostrich's child was caught by Harley!

Several huge ostrich eggs suddenly appeared in front of Harley, the clean and thick eggshells glowing milky white in the sunlight.

Harley panted heavily, turned his head to look at Bi Fang, then lowered his head and licked the ostrich egg.

Bi Fang raised his eyebrows and stroked his screaming belly.

Well, it seems that Harley is still a good hunter.

We have eggs to eat.

click.

The dry branches were broken off and thrown into the bonfire.

In the burning fire pit, an ostrich egg was thrown directly into it, and it was soon blackened by the flames.

The other two were lying intact on the sand beside them.

Many animals eat or abandon their young. Perhaps the ostrich deliberately lured Harley to its nest and used its young to drag the predator. This is a successful reproductive strategy.

In front of the fire pit, Bi Fang was explaining to the audience why Harley was able to find the ostrich eggs.

Soncidal behavior in animals is very common, and we can often observe this phenomenon in animals such as hamsters, cats, rabbits, and fish that we have more contact with.

From a biological point of view, the ultimate purpose of life is to survive and reproduce.

We cannot live forever, but as long as we have children in our lifetime, we can pass on our unique genes.

On the African grasslands, after the foreign male lion drives away the old male lion, the first thing to do is to kill all the young lions, so that the female lion can stop breastfeeding, so that the female lion can re-enter the reproductive period, and the new male lion can reproduce itself. The offspring will pass on their genes.

Sometimes lions will eat their own cubs in order to reproduce, especially if the cubs are poor in physique, disabled or sick, the probability of lioness cannibalism will be greatly increased.

For the lioness, if one number is useless, it is better to eat it quickly, so as to seize the time to reproduce and practice the next number.

On the other hand, in addition to the cub's own problems, infanticide often occurs due to external factors, such as other odors on the cub's body.

In many zoos there have been incidents of cubs being eaten because they smelled of people.

Animals can't recognize DNA and have a keen sense of smell.

When it smells human from the cubs, it can't tell if it's its own, so it eats them.

This rule is very cruel, but in the animal world there is no emotion at all, only the benefits of reproduction.

Thus, to some extent tortellosis is a successful reproductive strategy.

Lizards, birds, snakes, and fish all eat their own eggs due to certain factors, and the long-tailed lizard is the most prominent.

When the long-tailed lizard is in crisis, it will eat all its eggs at once.

Instead of being eaten by other people, it's better to eat it yourself. These eggs are the 'meat' that fell from your body. Eating these meat can better prepare for the next round of reproduction.

No matter what kind of animal cannibals, they have the same goal by different routes. Everything is just to better pass on their own genes and continue the inheritance of the entire race.

Abandoning children is actually the same. For animals, if they can contribute their children in exchange for their own lives, it is also a very cost-effective deal, just like otters will hold out their children when they are in danger. Win the sympathy of the predator.

[I know this, when I saw it for the first time, I thought someone made it up, but it turned out to be true]

【It really shocked me】

[The cats and cats made great contributions! 】

Of course, it can't be ruled out that it was a mistake. The ostrich took the cheetah to its nest in a panic.

Bi Fang poked the ostrich eggs in the flames with a wooden stick, and turned them over so that they could be heated better and mature faster.

The shell of the ostrich egg is very thick, so we need to bake it for a while. It would be even better if there is soy sauce on it. It is absolutely delicious when it is directly poured on the soy sauce after roasting.

After baking for about a quarter of an hour, Bi Fang felt that it was almost ready, so he used two branches to stand it out.
