Chapter 79, African Savannah
When we got to the kitchen, there were a lot more people eating dinner than at noon, all of them black, wearing camouflage uniforms. My daily work is to patrol the grassland, go out after breakfast, and then come back for dinner after dark.
Some are not even from animal protection organizations, but retired fighters from this country.
Hong Wenlin is supposed to be the only yellow patrol here, but his skin is no different from that of a black man.
At this point, Ye Kai has seen all the people in the base, there are four vehicles on patrol, a total of sixteen people, Phyllis is the director of the base, Chen Zhai is a veterinarian, and there are three breeders and several researchers.
Song Leyong sat next to Ye Kai, and when chatting with him, he asked: "There are so many of us patrolling, and there are poachers who dare to poach?
"Life?"
Song Leyong has been in Africa for a long time, and when it comes to this word, it is not as serious as in China, "For many Africans, what is fate, money is much more important than life." ”
Phyllis opened a bottle of wine and said, "New colleagues are coming to us today, let's welcome them......"
Grain wine is very expensive in Africa, and today there is such an opportunity to drink, the black uncles are naturally very happy, and after eating the wine is gone, they take the common fruit wine in Africa, go to the courtyard to dance and continue to drink.
Ye Kai inevitably accompanied them to jump a few times.
African dance moves are very similar to dancing gods, with an ancient atmosphere that belongs to the wilderness. This dance, which used to be performed for sacrifices and prayers, has become a performance in Africa today.
Many people come to Africa to travel to safer countries, and there are often African dance performances or African tambourine performances on the way.
The night ended in a bustle, and tomorrow must be an even better day.
........................
Phyllis is going to take Ye Kai to the grassland to see the cheetah.
In recent decades, humans have cut down a large number of trees, and the living environment of African grassland animals has been further compressed. Coupled with the greenhouse effect caused by the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide, the dry season in Africa is getting longer and hotter every year.
Cheetahs are just one of many animals that can't stand changing their environments faster and faster.
There are fewer and fewer cheetahs in Africa now.
Sitting in the car, Phyllis told Ye Kai: "There are some places in Africa that have not had rain for six years, and many animals are now functionally extinct. ”
"We rarely publicize such things in our country, and although we know that the greenhouse effect is now irreversible, we don't know how much damage it has done to humanity now. ”
"Huaxia is in a good position, and the damage caused by the greenhouse effect will not threaten Huaxia for the time being. ”
The car drove along the rough road, and the blazing sun baked a loess pavement, turning the once fertile land into yellow sand that would be lifted by the slightest wind.
What he thought would be a crisis for many years to come was already happening now.
"Especially since the poachers are still hunting what few animals are left...... Phyllis gritted her teeth at this point, and the biggest enemy of animal protection groups is poachers.
"With the governance of the country, poaching will definitely become less and less, and it may be protected by the state at any time, just like the giant pandas in our country. ”
Ye Kai could only comfort Phyllis like this.
There were four people in the car, in addition to Ye Kai and Phyllis, there were also two members of the patrol, and they would encounter poachers at any time in this grassland, so they had to be guarded against.
For poachers, being caught is tantamount to a death sentence, so they can do anything to avoid being caught.
The vehicle passed through a herd of zebras.
"Zebra, can you ride it?"
This is a problem, Ye Kai is so big, he has never seen anyone ride a zebra, he has the skills given by the system, can he try to ride a zebra?
Ye Kai was eager to try and stopped the car.
"Don't do that, it's too dangerous!" Phyllis admonished.
"Rest assured. Ye Kai jumped out of the car and said, "I won't take risks, I just want to go over and take a picture." ”
Even if the intimacy has tripled, there are some dangerous things that cannot be done, Ye Kai knows very well that he cherishes his life very much.
Riding on a zebra may cause a riot in the herd, but getting close to them shouldn't be a problem, at least the zebra won't treat itself as an enemy.
Zebras are also a type of horse, and of course they can be ridden. It's just that zebras are wild and difficult to domesticate, so no one will choose to tame zebras.
"Hey, don't be nervous. ”
Ye Kai whispered and slowly approached.
No matter how grumpy an animal is, it is also an animal, not a madman, and in the absence of danger, they do not lose their temper with a creature that is not a threat.
Approaching the zebra herd, taking a few photos, and then touching the neck of the wild zebra, Ye Kai was satisfied.
Carefully retreating to the car, he excitedly clenched his fists and shouted, "yes yes yes!"
Zebras can get close, but what about wild lions and tigers!
Ye Kai bred the idea of pooping all the animals.
If Ye Kai was given more time to contact the zebra herd, he would be 100% sure that he would be able to sit on it and perform some simple driving movements.
Intimacy has turned most of the beasts into dolphin-like approachable animals.
Ye Kai shared the photos he had taken with Phyllis, and the vehicle continued to move forward, their purpose was to find the cheetah.
Phyllis was really worried about Ye Kai, and now she was terrified, looking at the photo, she said: "Very beautiful, you are likely to be the best animal photographer." ”
I've never heard of anyone with such a high affinity for animals.
The patrolman drove the car into a forest and said, "Get off here, there is an abandoned house in front of it, built by the former tribal nobles, where you should see the cheetah." ”
The scenery is amazing, and not far from the car they got off was a house built on the water's edge, and a three-meter-high observation deck was built on the water.
On the other side of the water is the plain, which is a drinking point for many animals in the vicinity, and you can see animals drinking on the opposite plain.
A herd of elephants is eating leaves on the plains, African chimpanzees are playing in the meadows, and male lions are bringing their families close to the drinking point.
The lions don't seem to have any thoughts about the animals, and it seems that they have a full meal in advance.
Where there are lions, there will be no cheetahs, it seems that they came for nothing today, but it is also an unexpected joy to see a group of wild lions, Ye Kai changed to a lens for shooting a long shot, and magnified the movements of the lions and filmed.
