191 Your uncle's, Chinese alligator
Liu Wei focuses on the head of the alligator, and its eyes and big mouth look a little fierce, but compared with the world-famous American alligator, there is a lot of difference in size, weight and temperament.
Liu Weipu said: "Brothers, the Chinese alligator is one of the only two freshwater crocodiles left in the world, and it is the smallest crocodile of the alligator family. The crocodile has a docile and lazy temperament, and humans can easily come into contact with it. ”
Zhang Kui continued: "Many wild Chinese alligators live in densely populated environments, and after they have eaten their fill, other creatures are allowed to share an ecological environment with them.
There are only three situations in which the alligator will become irritable.
One is to escape danger, one is to catch food, and the other is to fight for territory, and the humans living in the reserve are not only not afraid of the alligator, but have also accidentally injured the alligator many times before, causing it to die.
As the conservation work progresses, people have a new understanding of this endangered protected animal, and the government will also subsidize the villagers' fishing and breeding if the eating of the Chinese alligator causes damage to the villagers' fish farming.
Generally speaking, the relationship between Chinese crocodiles and humans is relatively harmonious!"
Liu Wei nodded, such a result came from the efforts of Director Zhang and other front-line workers day after day.
After visiting the crocodile pool, Liu Wei went to the exhibition hall with Zhang Kui to learn about the development process of the Yangtze crocodile, mainly for the audience in the live broadcast room and played a propaganda role.
The materials in the exhibition hall are all some easy-to-understand knowledge, and the audience can understand it at a glance.
In the evening, Zhang Kui arranged a nearby residence, which was a duty studio, "Ah Wei, it's far from here to the county seat, and we'll leave early tomorrow, so I've wronged you!"
Liu Wei took a look, there were beds and quilts, all of them had just been changed, he was very satisfied, much better than him sleeping in the wild, and joked: "Director Zhang, the most unpicky thing about me is the sleeping place, if you give me a tent, I can also fall asleep at the door, and the audience in the live broadcast room calls me the Wilderness Sleeping God!"
"Hahaha, then you rest early, I'll let you know tomorrow morning!" Director Zhang instructed that after Liu Wei answered, he left.
After a simple wash, go straight to sleep.
……
Had breakfast.
Zhang Kui took the two young people from the workstation, plus Liu Wei, and the four of them went to the countryside to look for wild Chinese alligators.
The car drove to a wetland with many lakes and fish ponds, surrounded by dense forests, and of course, the villagers also cultivated some wetlands for farming.
Zhang Kui said: "Before the government stepped in to manage the wetland, the wetland was badly damaged, and the villagers were trying to earn a living, so they didn't manage it much.
However, after the discovery of wild alligators here, the practice of cultivating wetlands was banned, and fish farming was allowed within reasonable limits. ”
Liu Wei asked, "Have you found wild Chinese alligators here recently?"
Zhang Kui nodded, "I came here once last year and found one, I hope I can have good luck seeing it today!"
The staff borrowed a wooden boat from the villager, and four people rowed the boat in the waters of the wetland.
Liu Wei said to the two young boaters, "Walk against the edge of the woods and see if you can find its burrow? The nest of the Chinese alligator is usually hidden at the edge of the water, which is conducive to its predation and activity." ”
The wooden boat walked against the shore.
Liu Wei suddenly stopped.
Zhang Kui: "Did you find anything?"
Liu Wei instructed: "Take a closer look!"
The bow of the boat leaned against the junction of a bamboo forest and the water, and there were dense vines growing at the edge of the water, the vines were very strong, Liu Wei squatted down to shoot, and there was an oval-shaped cave under the vines, and the vines hung like curtains, which were very hidden.
Zhang Kui went up and shook the large vines upwards with a little force, and he said happily: "It's the cave of the Chinese alligator." ”
Liu Wei turned on the flashlight and shone it in, shook it, and found nothing.
He said to the live broadcast room: "Brothers, the burrows of Chinese alligators are very complicated.
It has a superb ability to dig holes, and its head, tail and sharp toe claws are its tools for burrowing.
Its caves often have several openings, some of which are in the place where the bamboo forest on the shore is thick, which is the cave we see now.
There are also entrances and exits, ventilation openings and side openings that adapt to various water levels, and the winding paths of the caves are criss-crossed, just like an underground labyrinth.
When the weather changes and the water level rises, it is able to find multiple exits to escape.
So it's hard to determine if it's in a cave just by the hole we've found now?
According to the analysis of its living habits, the alligator likes to stay in the burrow during the day, I just shook the flashlight, the eyes of the alligator will turn red when it touches the light of the flashlight, so as to determine whether it is hidden inside?
As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, the young man in charge of rowing reminded: "Director Zhang, Teacher Liu, where do you look?"
Liu Wei turned his head to look in the direction of his finger, and a pair of eyes surfaced.
Liu Wei smiled, "Brothers, this alligator is moving around, its head has already surfaced, it is staring at us, see? ”
“111111”
The Yangtze crocodile stared at the boat for half a minute, and then its whole body appeared on the water, its body was very flexible, swam in an S-shape, and it was swimming in the direction of Liu Wei and them.
Liu Wei said excitedly: "Brothers, in ancient times, human beings called the Yangtze crocodile (tuo, two sounds), which is a very representative hieroglyph, you turn this word upside down to look like the Chinese alligator swimming in the water in front of me?"
"Upside down?
"Anchor, I'm illiterate, I don't listen!"
"Huh~, it's gone, Ah Wei!"
Liu Wei observed the water surface again, and the Yangtze crocodile was gone, so he should have dived into the water.
He began to undress.
Zhang Kui was surprised: "Ah Wei, what do you want to do?"
Liu Wei handed the mobile phone in the live broadcast room to one of the young people, "You help me shoot it, I'll go into the water to see, what is it doing?"
"Ah Wei ......" Zhang Kui was ready to remind Liu Wei.
"Beep~".
Liu Wei had already plunged headlong into the water.
“66666”
"100 points of diving in this wave!"
"Do you think Ah Wei will be eaten by a crocodile?"
"Didn't Ah Wei talk about it just now? The Yangtze crocodile has a docile temperament. ”
"Ah Wei's water nature is very good, when he chased the water snake, it was called a fast, I believe he will protect himself even if he encounters danger!"
Zhang Kui looked at the worried barrage in the live broadcast room, and took the initiative to calm the audience's emotions, "The Yangtze crocodile has a docile temperament and generally does not attack people, even if it is launched during the irritability, it will not cause substantial harm to human beings, if it regards Ah Wei as an enemy, it will first choose to escape, so don't worry, Ah Wei is professional, we believe Ah Wei!"
Half a minute later, Liu Wei emerged from the water and said, "It's still around, the light in the water is cloudy, I can only roughly determine its direction, I'm going to chase it now." ”
After saying that, he plunged into the water again.
