Termites in burrows are scurrying headlessly.

The big anteater was lying on the anthill, looking like he was enjoying it.

After licking for a moment, it stopped, stood next to the anthill, shook its nose, and looked left and right.

"Full?"

"According to the way it is eaten, it will be full in a few bites!"

Liu Wei smiled and said: "You have misunderstood, the big anteater eats a very large amount, it can devour three to forty thousand ants a day, and after a while, it eats a few thousand at most, and there are many ants in the cave, and it is not ready to continue licking."

The Great Anteater implements a sustainable development strategy, unlike the Malayan bears we have encountered before, which will lick and eat clean when they see an anthill.

It will take into account the recovery status of the entire colony, and the amount of food that cannot exceed the capacity of the colony to recover so that there is still food to eat next time.

So you see, although the big anteater moves very rudely when digging the anthill, it is coarse and fine!"

Liu Wei pointed to the cave road that was opened by it, "Several major caves have not been destroyed, but the structure of the edge of the anthill has been damaged.

The big anteater knows that as long as the anthill is not completely destroyed, the termites will not leave, and they will be able to eat here next time, so they don't have to look for it anymore!"

"That's a bit clever!"

"The anchor's sustainable development strategy is well used!"

"Just kidding, a great student, politics is a thorough study!"

"This live broadcast room exudes a cultural atmosphere at any time, which makes me feel out of place!"

"Hahaha!", Liu Wei looked at the barrage and smiled, "Actually, there is another important reason for the big anteater to give up and continue eating, because the soldier ants in the termite colony are slow to react, and the big anteater must eat as much as possible before the soldier ants react, once the soldier ants start to fight back, its tongue will suffer unbearable pain." ”

Liu Wei turned his head to look at the big anteater who was licking his tongue and asked, "Am I right?"

It seems that its tongue has been bitten by a few soldier ants, and it is a little uncomfortable, and it needs to secrete mucus to heal it.

The tongue of the great anteater is rich in mucus, and there are two main types of mucus, one is the mucus secreted by the salivary glands, and the other is the mucus secreted by the parotid glands, which helps to lick termites and repairs wounds.

The great anteater lay on the ground again, dragging its tail crookedly and hurrying forward.

"It's going to the next place to eat!"

Liu Wei followed all the way.

The big anteater had fully admitted that Liu Wei could move around him, and he was not making any angry movements on the way.

This time, it chose an ant's nest located on a slope.

I dug the hole casually.

Then he stuck his long tongue in.

It's also fast.

"The anteater's most dear food is termites, and ants can only be considered improvised, so if you look closely at its expression, it doesn't look like it's enjoying it as much as it just now.

But in order to fill its stomach, it can only ignore the taste of food!"

Liu Wei leaned on the slope, tilted his head to observe the big anteater, and stared at the cave with all his heart, looking a little ugly.

Reaching out and touching its back, the big anteater stopped eating and glanced at Liu Wei.

"I'll help you go smoothly! Liu Wei spread his hands and said.

The great anteater turned its head again to study the ant burrow.

Liu Wei: "Its body fur is very thick, it is not easy to be pierced, it has a strong protective effect, there are few natural enemies in the wild, and its survivability is also extremely strong."

But human hunting has led to its endangerment for the simple reason that its meat is edible.

Originally prey by the original inhabitants of the Amazon basin, it has become a dish on many restaurant tables, and although governments have taken it seriously and enacted corresponding conservation policies, it is difficult for this species to return to normal wild populations.

The feeding habits of large anteaters who are protected and kept by zoos have been changed, and they eat more insects and jams, because keeping ants in zoos is a very troublesome thing and costly. Large zoo-reared anteaters have been eating insects and jams for a long time, gradually losing the licking ability we see now.

Brothers, we are fortunate today to be able to meet the great anteater in the pure wild and learn about its life by observing its behavior. ”

"Other countries should also legislate to ban the consumption of wild meat!"

"All along, this problem has not been completely cured!"

"Arrest when you should be caught, sentence when you should be sentenced, be decisive!"

"I may only be able to see this thing in Ah Wei's live broadcast room in my life!"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly became a little heavy.

The big anteater suddenly turned its head, with a long nose and small eyes kicking Liu Wei, looking naïve, making the audience laugh wildly.

"Hahaha, break the gong in one second!" , Liu Wei couldn't help laughing, "You're too funny, aren't you! Brothers are still sympathizing with you!"

It didn't understand what Liu Wei was talking about, this hole was almost finished, and it needed to rush to the next hole, lie on its stomach and continue to walk forward.

Liu Wei kept following until it was full, and after it was full, the big anteater rolled twice on the ground, stroked its stomach with its two forelimbs, and lay on the ground.

"Are you going to rest? Then I'll go?" Liu Wei said.

He turned around and walked a few steps, looked back and saw the great anteater looking at him.

"What's the matter, I can't bear to go!" Liu Wei said narcissistically.

He thought that the great anteater would follow, and after encountering the beast in the past and establishing a good relationship, the beast would follow him for a distance.

This time he was overthinking.

The big anteater didn't follow.

Liu Wei shook his head and smiled, feeling too good about himself.

Return the way you came.

De Ye has already set up the camp and sat on the ground to rest.

"Liu, did it run away?" asked De Ye when he turned around.

"I'm full, I'm resting!" Liu Weidao.

"Liu, it's behind you!" De Ye looked back and observed the slender head of the big anteater and said in surprise.

"Huh?"

Liu Wei looked back and smiled, "Aren't you resting?"

The large anteater came out from behind the trunk and tried to get closer to Liu Wei.

De Ye was a little excited, the first time he saw it at such a close distance, he immediately stood up, forgetting to put down the saber he had just used to cut down the tree.

His movements frightened the great anteater.

The big anteater was startled, stood up instantly, spread its arms, and danced a few times seemingly ferociously.

Liu Wei couldn't stop laughing, "You misunderstood again!"

Hurriedly said to Deye: "Deye, the knife in your hand scares it!"

De Ye scratched his head and smiled, put the knife on the ground, then squatted and waved his hand at the big anteater, and looked up at Liu Wei, "Liu, it's so cute!"

Liu Wei smiled: "The audience thinks it's ugly!"

De Ye smiled: "Ugly cute!"

The big anteater waved its claws twice more to scare Deye.

"Hahaha, Master De, it seems to understand what you say!" Liu Wei smiled as he observed its stupid appearance.

De Ye walked up with a smile and said softly, "You are not ugly, you are very cute, I like a cute animal like you the most!
