Chapter 299 Better Than a Cat
Looking at the little guy who suddenly ran over, the brown bear in the distance licked the corner of his mouth, but after looking at the fish next to him, he finally sat down.
Zhang Bei rubbed the soft hair on the little guy's body, tore open the chicken leg that was sealed in the hotel this morning and handed it to him.
While enjoying a sumptuous lunch, I shared some knowledge with the audience in the live broadcast room.
"This guy is called Red Fox, which is what we usually call a fox."
"This one chewing on chicken legs is the Tibetan red fox, a subspecies of red fox."
"There are 47 subspecies in total, distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, and it is the most widely distributed animal in the order Carnivora."
"Like other foxes, the main food source of red foxes is small rodents."
"Common voles, house mice, chinchillas, kangaroos, chipmunks, etc. are all in its diet."
"Everyone has seen him peeing more than once. Foxes are several times better at catching mice than cats."
"A wild fox can hunt up to fifty mice in a day."
"Basically not many people in our village keep cats, so you can take on the task of eradicating rats by just peeing."
When Zhang Bei said this, he swallowed the sea cucumber in the self-heating box with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Although the red fox species is classified as Least Concern, only the Tibetan red fox is a second-level protected animal."
"Because of the sharp decline in their population due to year-round hunting, red foxes that were once ubiquitous in Tibet are now very difficult to see."
"And the red fox has a very long history. This creature was written about more than once in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"."
For the first time, the audience in the live broadcast room felt how dark Zhang Bei's heart was.
A cute little fox is here, and no one wants to leave the live broadcast room.
But this is a delicacy compared to what people eat now!
If you want to watch the little fox, you have to endure the delicious food constantly displayed in the live broadcast room.
Occasionally, this beast even smacked back after taking a few bites, making the entire live broadcast room full of resentment.
"After so many years of fighting with hunters, the red fox has developed a unique skill, which is to pretend to be dead."
"The red fox caught by the hunter can temporarily breathe weakly and seems to be dying."
"But if you're not careful, this guy will suddenly jump up and flee the scene."
Zhang Bei's science popularization was as good as ever, and all the attention in the live broadcast room was focused on this strange monster.
The red fox itself looks very good-looking, and its hair appears reddish-red in the sunlight.
Coupled with the white bellyband on the chest, she looks like a little fairy!
Zhang Bei spent more than twenty minutes destroying his lunch, poured out the excess water, and put away the box.
He turned around, picked up the red fox that was licking its paws, and rubbed the little guy's belly.
The sound of screaming suddenly filled the live broadcast room.
After seeing the fox, sometimes when I think about it carefully, I really can’t blame King Zhou.
No one can refuse a cute little one who can make noises!
Tibetan foxes have a peculiar smell, which is inevitable.
But if this kind of peculiar smell is not indoors, it would be acceptable.
If it is a domesticated fox, the smell will be very weak after the operation. If you bathe frequently, you will basically not be able to smell it.
Of course, anyone who owns a fox will know one thing: the guy must not be scared.
There is a secret weapon in the body of the red fox: the anal glands.
The smell secreted by this thing can be called a biochemical weapon. Humans will feel weak and nauseated after smelling it for more than five minutes.
For those wild animals with a well-developed sense of smell, smelling this smell is no less than a form of torture.
Zhang Bei played with the red fox for a while and stood up after feeling that his stomach was no longer stretched.
"The red fox's estrus period is from January to February, and the cubs are usually born in April."
"Since red foxes can be seen in this area, it means we should be able to find cubs."
After saying hello to the big brown bear who was working hard, Zhang Bei continued to move forward with the red fox.
The Tibetan brown bear is busy replenishing the fat consumed in hibernation. Not to mention Zhang Bei, even the old monk would not pay attention to it if he stood in front of it.
It can only be said that the time is wrong. If he had come in June, Zhang Bei would still be able to enjoy the joy of being carried on the shoulders of a brown bear.
Time is like a snack in the middle of the night, always eaten without realizing it.
Zhang Bei and the red fox moved forward, and it took them a full hour to find the traces of the red fox cub.
After rubbing the ears of the red fox in his arms, Zhang Bei quickly walked up to the large and small children not far away.
The little guy was lying on the head of the female fox at this time, and his little black paws were trying hard to hook the weeds in the distance.
The children, one large and one young, looked at the man and the fox walking towards them with curious eyes.
Zhang Bei was not polite to it, he directly picked up the little guy, glanced at the male and female, and then shook the weight.
"Red fox cubs grow very quickly and can basically practice hunting under the care of their parents in about two months."
"When the cubs are trained for two to three months, they will begin to survive independently."
"Most red foxes will give birth to at least three and up to 12 cubs in a litter."
The alligator gets beaten every day: [Twelve???]
Nanri: [Isn’t this more fertile than an old sow? 】
Rili Wanji: [I suddenly had a bold idea!]
Contemporary netizens are always able to do something unexpected.
Even the well-informed Zhang Bei sometimes has to admire the brains of these people.
What kind of education can teach such a large group of perverts!
Looking at the aggrieved little fox in his arms, the smile on Zhang Bei's lips also filled up.
"This afternoon we are mainly going to look for the golden eagle. Time is tight. Let's take a screenshot and enjoy it before we set off!"
Compared to cute little guys, Zhang Bei still prefers those predators.
The golden eagle is also a member of the predator group. As a bird of prey in the sky, it is full of domineering power!
Of course, the premise is that it flies in the sky and does not fall to the ground and become a free-roaming chicken.
After leaving a few minutes for screenshots in the live broadcast room, Zhang Bei put down the little fox and walked up in a higher direction.
Many creatures in Tibetan areas live in the snow layer. Zhang Bei has been wandering around the outside for the past two days and has never gone deep.
Now that most of the animals have been seen, it's time to go to the snow layer and look for the unique creatures there.
But before Zhang Bei could walk very far, two figures coming out of the cave attracted Zhang Bei's attention.
Seeing these two little guys, Zhang Bei silently moved the camera, diverting the attention of the increasingly yellow audience in the live broadcast room.
Chapter completed!
