Chapter 11 Encountering a Saber-toothed Tiger
Behind the big tree, there was an animal lurking, hiding most of its body. Unfortunately, its body was too big and too long, and even the trunk of the tree couldn't cover it, leaving part of its body behind exposed.
The fur on that part of the body is yellowish brown with a few light markings, and the tail is very short, only about 20 to 30 centimeters.
It may be as high as one meter and two meters, Wang Yang is not as tall as it, and its limbs are extremely thick. Just looking at the back part, it may reach two hundred kilograms, if it is based on one-third ratio.
Doesn’t that mean this animal weighs six hundred pounds?
The 600-pound behemoth is exactly six times the weight of Wang Yang.
Wang Yang held his breath, carefully and gently took out two awls and held them in his hands. What he was thinking about was not taking out a wooden spear to attack, but being able to climb the tree immediately.
He turned his head and estimated the distance of the big tree behind him, which was almost seven meters, and said to himself: "Seven meters is enough for me to run and step on the tree a few times."
After thinking about a life-saving strategy, he changed his mind and secretly thought about what this animal was.
Bear?
An animal with fur, a stout body, and a heavy weight. Wang Yang first thought of dangerous bears.
In people's minds, bears always have an image of being grumpy and clumsy. In fact, bears are actually quite good-tempered. As long as they don't invade their territory or steal their food, they are willing to avoid conflicts.
Wang Yang was very sure that he did not steal its food, but it was unclear whether he entered its territory.
And no matter what kind of bear it is, its sense of smell and hearing are very developed. In fact, this sentence is almost equivalent to farting. Most of the carnivores in the forest have well developed sense of smell and hearing.
No matter who it is, it must have found itself.
The most dangerous tree is that bears will climb on it!
Moreover, the bear runs extremely fast and is definitely not clumsy.
If you encounter a bear, you will be in serious danger. Whether you run away or climb a tree, it is not safe.
But Wang Yang himself wasn't sure what he encountered. There shouldn't be any markings on the bear, right? And looking at its lower limbs, the thickness of its thighs and calves was very different. It shouldn't be a round animal like a bear.
So what exactly is it?
deer?
Probably not. He had never heard of a deer that was so big.
Could it be said that they are lions living in the forest? Doesn’t it mean that lions generally do not appear in the forest?
Leopard? Tiger?
Is it a mistake to grow so big?
Wang Yang's thoughts turned over and over again, thinking about one possibility after another, but he found that this era was too far away, and the large size of animals already surprised him. Who knew if he would encounter a freak?
He didn't dare to move. He was afraid that his hasty movements would be misinterpreted by the other party as provocation or attack, so he had to keep a close eye on the guy's lower body to see if it made any movements.
After staring at it for a while, the guy moved!
It raised its hind limbs, took two steps forward, and hid its lower body in the trunk of the tree.
Wang Yang quickly looked at the other end of the tree trunk to see what would emerge.
He saw a front paw step out. The front paw was very thick, and the claws were like kitchen knives, shining coldly under the sunlight.
Then, a head popped out.
The head appeared very abruptly and very high, like a tumor suddenly growing in the middle of the tree trunk. The head was huge.
From the side, it looks a little like a leopard or a lion, but it doesn't have a long mane.
Two long fangs grow down from the upper jaw, a full dozen centimeters long.
Seeing this, if Wang Yang still doesn't understand what kind of animal he has encountered, he can really hit the wall.
"Saber-toothed tiger!" The cold sweat on Wang Yang's forehead rolled out like soybeans, flowing down to the lower part of his neck along his Adam's apple.
The image of saber-toothed tiger is familiar to everyone. It is often mistaken for saber-toothed tiger. In fact, the two fangs of saber-toothed tiger are not that long, and the power of saber-toothed tiger is at a higher level than that of saber-toothed tiger.
The Smilodon looks majestic due to its two tusks of more than ten centimeters, but its hunting ability is average, and has been questioned by many experts and scholars.
The reason is that because the fangs are too long, even if it opens its mouth, it cannot bite like other big cats, which limits its ability to kill an enemy with one bite.
Moreover, those two tusks are very brittle and the sides are easily broken, making it difficult to kill a wild boar.
Scholars suspect that Smilodon used its huge size to fight its prey, held the prey down with its strange strength, and then stabbed its fangs into the prey's throat to kill the prey.
Or perhaps, the saber-toothed tiger waited for other animals to eat and then went up to eat the leftovers.
In this way, Smilodon doesn't seem very scary.
But Wang Yang was afraid. It looked like a hill and could crush him to death.
The saber-toothed tiger turned its head. Wang Yang couldn't tell the emotion in its eyes, but it felt like he was being stared at by the god of death. The cold wind was blowing and his back was chilling.
"Roar!"
It suddenly let out a loud cry, probably feeling angry that it had been discovered by its prey, and rushed towards it.
"Dong dong dong!" Every time it falls, it hits the ground like a big mountain with a dull sound, and the speed is not slow at all.
Wang Yang's scalp suddenly became numb. He calculated the distance between it and himself. Twenty meters should be enough.
He immediately turned around and ran, as fast as lightning. He ran to the big tree, put a strong force on his feet, and jumped up. He took three steps on the tree trunk, took the awl and thrust it high, using both arms hard.
mentioned.
The strength continued to explode from the waist, and the feet stepped upwards desperately. At the same time, he kept pulling out the awl and inserting it higher.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Wang Yang felt the saber-toothed tiger pounce on the tree. It jumped so high. Even though Wang Yang climbed so fast, it reached a height of at least four meters. He could feel the hot breath from its mouth behind his back.
.
He climbed a few more meters until he reached the second fork of the tree trunk, then stopped and looked down while wiping his cold sweat.
This time, he could clearly see the entire Smilodon tiger.
It is about two meters long and very large, a full circle larger than the average tiger. It has well-developed limbs and light markings on its fur.
It looked at Wang Yang on the ground, and made another unwilling leap. This leap might have reached a height of one meter. It moved its paws forward and penetrated deeply into the tree. Unfortunately, its body was too heavy.
He couldn't climb trees, so he reluctantly grabbed the tree and slowly slid down, leaving ten deep claw marks.
Wang Yang gave a false alarm, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough, climbed trees quickly, and had already thought of a countermeasure, otherwise he would have been killed in one fell swoop.
