798 Measure hippopotamus bite force
The female hippopotamus who intimidated Liu Wei had no choice but to turn around and go back to take care of her children so as not to be attacked by the male beasts in the group.
At this point, the entire hippopotamus herd begins to move towards the shore.
The fat round body was exposed one after another.
Although the hippopotamus spends almost all day in the water, its swimming skills are quite poor, which has a lot to do with its size, and its stubby legs are not good at floating.
Hippos that stay in the water, with almost all their limbs on the bottom, have strong diving skills.
It has a special set of muscles that can be used like valves, and when diving, the ears and nostrils are closed, and the dive can often reach up to 10 minutes, and then the head rises to the surface to slow down.
Staying in the water can avoid many dangers and keep your body fresh.
However, it does not have the physiological conditions of aquatic mammals to adapt to water, so sometimes it will run to the shore, especially after the evening, and adult hippos will often quietly run ashore alone to eat, and it is known that it eats a lot by looking at its size.
However, hippos do not run too far, and their range of activity is roughly 500 meters around the water source, and if they are in trouble, they can quickly escape back into the water.
In the water, except for the steppe elephant, it is basically not afraid of any opponent, even the fierce Nile crocodile, it has to give it three points.
At this time, in Liu Wei's field of vision, the hippopotamus should have come ashore to rest, bask in the sun, and take a nap.
"Brothers, look at that hippopotamus!", Liu Wei pointed to the far right of the hippopotamus herd, "it is too round, it weighs at least three tons, and its body is covered with the scars left by the battle we said before, and no hippopotamus in the group dares to disturb it, presumably so far, there has not been a hippopotamus that has defeated it!"
"I like little hippos, they're so cute!"
"A few little Hanhan, bouncing!"
"Hahaha, before I opened my teeth, I started to open my mouth to scare people!"
The audience's attention is on the baby hippopotamus.
The two baby hippos have a large mouth and their mouth against their mouth, showing their strength, and compared to the deterrent power of an adult hippopotamus opening their mouths, the two baby hippos can only be regarded as playing.
looks like a fierce milk.
The hippos all came ashore and began to feed on the spot, grazing on the grass that grew on the edge of the lake.
Although the little hippopotamus has no teeth, it is also imitating its mother's appearance and biting hard, but unfortunately it is lonely.
Several baby hippos still need to eat milk for several months before they can feed on their own.
Liu Wei sat on the branch of the tree, admiring the scene of the hippopotamus feeding, not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile, "Brothers, this time I want to do a task that has not been completed in the industry!"
"Damn, are you going to die again?"
"The live broadcast room should be called: the daily life of a dead anchor!"
"It's going to be online again!"
"Do you want to a hippopotamus?"
"Poof~", Liu Wei didn't swallow a mouthful of water, looked at the barrage and laughed, raised his arm, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "You should have heard that the bite force of hippos is very strong, and the bite force of adult hippos can reach more than 800kg, which is much higher than the two feline bosses, lions and tigers."
But I want to tell you that it's just the bite force of an adult female hippopotamus.
Because of the high risk, many attempts by scientists to measure the bite force of adult male hippos have failed.
Measuring the bite force is not the same as measuring other data, it is necessary to ensure the freedom and mental state of the beast, and to test it in the most natural situation, in short, only on the hard head.
All I'm going to do in a moment is measure the bite force of the biggest hippopotamus.
Its head is larger than that of any other hippopotamus in the group, and its bite is sure to be stronger!
But now is not the time, I am a little nervous in front of a herd of hippos, I am afraid that they will open their mouths to bite me at the same time!"
Liu Wei observed the hippopotamus and looked for an opportunity to climb down from under the tree.
The hippopotamus that was eating did not distract Liu Wei.
Liu Wei retreated into the distance, found a tree trunk more than three meters high with the thickness of an arm, cut it off directly, and kicked out the branches, "You just saw the hippopotamus attacking people, if I go up and measure it directly with my hands, it will be equivalent to death, so I need to make a simple tool!"
After picking out the branches.
Liu Wei took out a small force measuring instrument from his backpack, wrapped it in several layers of cloth, and finally tied it to the front of the trunk.
"As long as the hippopotamus opens its mouth to bite on it, the force measuring instrument will instantly calculate its bite force!" Liu Wei pointed to the tools he made to show the audience, "Because in the field, there is a lack of precise instrument calculations, so there will definitely be errors, but the error will not exceed 3%, and the final result is relatively ideal!"
The gaze returns to the hippos.
"I have to say, they are really edible!" Liu Wei sat on the ground, "Let's wait, according to the living habits of hippos, after eating, they will lie down on the water's edge to rest for a while!"
Half an hour passed.
Several playful baby hippos closed their eyes one after another and lay on the ground, and the female leader used her body to block in front of them and protect them.
Gradually, the other hippos also lay on the grass one after another, closed their eyes, and began to enjoy a good lunch break.
A female hippopotamus is left to guard her young, and the largest male hippopotamus is left to guard the herd.
"Here's your chance!"
Liu Wei observed the demeanor of the hippopotamus, sleeping one is more dead than the other, no different from a pig.
Picking up the equipment he had made, he bent down and groped for it.
It was soon discovered by two hippos who did not rest.
The male hippopotamus immediately raised his vigilance, slowly moved his thick legs, and turned around to face Liu Wei.
"Hey, it's already spotting me!It's watching my behavior!" Liu Wei whispered.
A few steps further, the male hippopotamus instantly opened his big mouth, and his stubby legs ran forward a few steps quickly, and the fat bumps all over his body were not stopped, and there was inertia.
The audience was already laughing in the live broadcast room when they saw such a scene.
The female hippopotamus saw that the male hippopotamus warned the intruder in advance, and he did not behave abnormally, and remained in place to continue to guard the baby hippopotamus.
"OK! It doesn't seem to want to bite yet! I need to give it a little more stimulation!"
Liu Wei grabbed the long pole with both hands, stretched it out, and moved his steps forward.
In the hippopotamus' field of vision, this swinging long pole is full of provocation.
It ran a few steps forward again.
"That's it! Take out all your anger!"
Liu Wei continued to swing the long pole in provocation.
The hippopotamus suddenly closed its mouth, then opened it with a mouthful, reaching its maximum, and its limbs rushed straight towards Liu Wei as if they were suddenly equipped with a motor.
"Friend! Bite this! That's your goal! Your goal is not me!"
Liu Wei controlled the direction of the long pole as much as possible, trying to send the front end of the force measuring instrument to the hippopotamus's mouth.
The hippopotamus is aiming at Liu Wei.
"~"
Faced with the three-ton volume that rushed and a big mouth that could bite off half of his body, Liu Wei didn't dare to hesitate at all, and ran backwards with his legs!
