The reason why we continue to follow the herd is because this may be the first time in history that icekeepers have recorded such a large-scale reindeer migration in the glacier areas of the Arctic Circle.
There is no land here, and there is very little food. In previous years, the reindeer would not have taken this route when migrating.
Huoyu needs to record more video data so that the icekeepers of the Department of Biology can study the reasons for this phenomenon.
This plays a significant role in protecting wild reindeer in polar regions.
As the live broadcast progresses, the Icekeeper Biology Department is also working intensively.
Xie Jie touched his head with few hairs left, and murmured with a headache:
"It's this boy, why is it this boy again, why is it always this boy."
Now Huoyu has become something like a mascot in the biology department.
As soon as he starts broadcasting, icekeepers from the biology department will follow up and observe, and as expected, they will often find some surprising things.
No way, Huo Yu met more protected animals in one live broadcast than an ordinary icekeeper would meet in a year.
Huo Yu, who was sitting in the car and looking at the deer in boredom, let out a long sigh.
It is very interesting to watch the migration of deer.
The herd of deer is vast and orderly, with no end in sight.
This feeling is a bit like hiding in the bathroom when I was a kid and watching other students running around on the playground.
Many human beings are born with the habit of watching such big scenes.
But it’s the same thing after seeing it too much. Even Huo Yu still feels a little bored now.
But I can't leave now.
According to the regulations of the Ice Keepers, large-scale animal migrations require full protection and tracking until they enter the responsibility of other Ice Keeper bases.
The problem is that there are no other Ice Keeper bases within a radius of 100 kilometers.
Judging from the direction in which the deer are heading, they may enter the responsibility of the 009 scientific research station tomorrow.
"Friends, it looks like I'm going to be ready to camp outside tonight."
Huo Yu rubbed the dull hair of the little fish next to him and said helplessly to the camera.
When the audience heard the word "camp", they immediately showed strong interest.
For many ordinary people, the words camping, adventure, and wilderness are synonymous with fun, and it feels like going out for a spring outing with classmates and friends.
But in fact, most explorers will die on the way.
Surviving in the wild has never been a fun thing. Death is always around, making it a truly high-risk occupation.
Huo Yu glanced at the temperature gauge on the car and continued:
"Speaking of which, this is my first time camping in the Arctic wilderness, and it can be considered a sleepless night."
"However, camping in the Arctic is not comfortable at all. The temperature, humidity, and environment are not suitable for human rest. Moreover, it is extremely dark and it is not dark yet. These will make it difficult to fall asleep."
The audience felt the same and gave Huo Yu advice:
"If that doesn't work, Mr. Yu, can you imitate the Eskimos and dig an igloo to sleep in?"
"Be content, Mr. Yu, at least you still have an Arctic wolf, so you don't need to keep vigil at night."
"It's not me who told Xiaoyu to keep vigil at night. Isn't this reliable?"
"Xiao Yu worked hard all night. When Master Yu woke up in the morning, he found that the reindeer behind the car only had a skeleton."
"But the conditions are very difficult. The only good thing is that there are no mosquitoes in the Arctic."
Huo Yu looked at the busy audience and smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, everyone, even if I sleep outside, I have the ability to sleep as comfortably as possible."
"Moreover, it's not that there are no mosquitoes in the Arctic. On the contrary, the mosquitoes in the Arctic can be said to be extremely ferocious."
"Actually, many people have a misunderstanding. The North Pole and the Arctic Circle are not exactly equal. For example, I am currently in the Arctic Circle, near the edge."
"After a while, in the summer months of July and August, the temperature in some places in the Arctic Circle can even reach 30 degrees Celsius above zero. It can be said that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is understandable that mosquitoes will appear."
After hearing Huo Yu's answer, the audience immediately cheered.
"Tell me a little trivia." Huo Yu got into a good mood, sat upright and said to the camera:
"Do you know? The mosquitoes that buzz around you and bite people on weekdays are actually female mosquitoes. Male mosquitoes do not suck blood."
"Because female mosquitoes must suck blood in order for their ovaries to develop and reproduce."
"Every mosquito that everyone shouts about is actually a hard-working mother, running around looking for food for their babies."
Huo Yu said to the camera with sincerity:
"So, stop complaining that you don't attract the opposite sex. At least you attracted female mosquitoes."
Audiences:???
Grab the bamboo shoots!
After a period of daily "friendly" interaction with the audience, Huo Yu turned his attention back to the deer.
The migration speed of the deer has returned to normal, and it seems that the wolves have left here.
All the reindeer held their heads high and walked leisurely on the snow, leaving behind a string of cloven-hoof-shaped footprints.
This is what the original reindeer looked like, unhurried and quiet.
Reindeer are originally elegant creatures, but they are busy running for their lives when threatened by wolves.
Huo Yu also slowed down and followed the deer not far away to observe.
In terms of time, night has fallen, but the sky is still as bright as day, and the sun is shining brightly on it, without any intention of getting off work.
For people who have never seen Jidu, this kind of weather may be quite exciting.
But for Huo Yu, extreme daylight seriously affects his judgment of time, making it difficult to get high-quality sleep.
The deer not far away had begun to stop, and they gradually gathered together to form a large circle.
Looking at the herd of reindeer, which was almost packed with deer next to each other, Huo Yu seriously doubted whether the innermost reindeer was suffering from hypoxia.
It really lives up to the famous saying, the deer that wants to get in can't get in, and the deer inside can't get out.
As the entire herd was gathered together, Huo Yu also found a location with leeward where he could observe the deer and parked the car.
We will most likely spend tonight in the car. An igloo or something is too strenuous, and most people are not used to it.
After settling down, he began to observe the entire herd.
There are really many reindeer. They are so densely packed at first glance that it is impossible to count them all.
Just like ancient scouts counting enemy troops, there is also a method for counting wild animal populations.
Ancient scouts needed to count the number of enemy troops through a large amount of data, including the number of flags, drums and horns, stoves, baggage, camp size, etc.
Huoyu counts these reindeer based on density.
For example, how many deer are there per square meter, and how many square meters does the entire herd occupy? Then multiply the two to get the approximate number.
After calculation, the final result is obtained.
This is a very large herd of approximately 1,200 reindeer.
This is the first time so many reindeer have appeared in the Arctic.
Such a large number of deer has great scientific research value and economic value.
If Huoyu is willing, he can make a small profit by following them to pick up deer droppings and sell them to the fertilizer factory.
