Elephants are social animals and are matrilineal clan societies with families as a unit.

In other words, the elephants in the same herd are basically "relatives" belonging to the same family.

In normal times, whether it is foraging, resting, or moving habitats, it is commanded by the female elephant with the highest "seniority" in the family. Adult males are usually only responsible for patrolling around the herd, keeping their families safe and driving away predators.

This is a bit similar to the population structure of bees, except that the males in the bee colony are a bit miserable. After mating, they will die.

The lifespan of an elephant can be as long as 70 years. This is a very long-lived group in the animal kingdom. Moreover, the size of the first on land also determines that even if you are not standing at the top of the food chain, you will not easily have an unsightly animal to provoke them. After all, those long fangs are not good, and if you are poked, you will die.

If they have been living so leisurely on the grassland, they can definitely be called happy without natural predators. However, all this, after the emergence of human beings, has undergone a huge change.

In the past, Africans hunted elephants mainly for meat and skins.

However, due to their size, the meat of elephants is very rough and covered with various parasites. Elephants don't care because of their rough skin and thick flesh. But once humans come into contact with it, there is basically no possibility of intact.

Therefore, except for the wild tribes who can't open the pot, the average African people will not choose elephant meat as food when they have food.

However, after the 70s of the last century, another organ in the elephant became a new target for humans. That's ivory.

Not only because of the rapid increase in demand for ivory in the international handicraft market, but also because of the turmoil in the financial markets during that time.

At a time when the international financial turmoil swept the world, ivory, like gold and diamonds, was regarded as a hard currency with a stable value, and was then purchased and stored by some large Western banks.

As a result, the financial crisis, which obviously couldn't fight with elephants, made the elephants all over the world fall into blood mold.

By the early eighties, the annual turnover of ivory on the international market had reached 1.3 million kilograms, of which more than 90 percent came from Africa.

In just 10 years, the purchase price of African ivory has risen from US$13 per kilogram to US$156 per kilogram.

12 times the profit, behind it is far more than 12 times the madness.

Africa's wild savannah elephants are extinct at an exaggerated rate. In those days, herds of slain elephants could be seen lying in pools of blood everywhere in the grasslands. Bloody ivory was carried away by cartloads. After taking the ivory, people often leave the elephant in the wilderness, leaving hyenas and lions to eat, leaving only white bones behind.

Today, under the operation of the World Wildlife Conservation Organization, the endangered elephant is a first-class protected animal in countries around the world. Various countries in Africa have even issued laws banning the killing of elephants. Once the poachers are caught, the fate is no better than that of the elephants that are hunted.

People who have not experienced the wars in Africa cannot understand the true meaning of those rangers' "armed patrols".

When Wang Ping was at the WAP headquarters, he once heard the members of the first team brag about how the captain of the first team once led them to catch a poaching gang that poached African savannah elephants. Unfortunately, while a team was chasing them, the gang had already destroyed all the evidence.

In this case, the captain of the first team made a decision that no one expected, but it was also expected. He took the poachers to the herd's territory and tied them to trees, leaving the herd, who had lost three family members, to decide the fate of the poachers.

Wang Ping remembered the narrator's expression at that time, and he was simply embarrassed. The poachers were trampled to pulp by the angry elephants on the spot, and they didn't even have a decent mosaic left.

It is true that elephants are docile, but that doesn't mean they have no temper.

The breath of a family member, an elephant can remember for up to ten years. And every time a family member dies, the elephant herd will continue to mourn even for a few years.

So when you smell the scent of family members on the poacher, the ending is already doomed.

At this time, looking at the elephant herd that had been screaming from a distance, Wang Ping suddenly felt how fucked up life was.

Gu Lang was already completely shocked.

At this moment, Gu Lang was opening his mouth wide, looking at the elephant herd in the distance with a blank expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head. It's just that the dagger in his hand is held very hard, and the green tendons on his hand have exploded.

It can be seen that in the herd, from time to time, there will be elephants with their heads down to turn over the corpses of their companions who have fallen to the ground. The long snout sniffed over the corpse, driving away the mosquitoes and flies that flew on the corpse. After five or three times, you will raise your head and scream in sorrow.

A herd of elephants that is constantly moving, occasionally revealing the carcasses in the middle.

Through the gap between the huge bodies, Gu Lang and Wang Ping both saw that two elephants, one large and one small, had fallen to the ground. The larger one, with its head in disarray, and a huge bloody gap in the tusks. A pair of tusks are missing.

Unlike Asian elephants, which do not show their tusks, African females have the same tusks as males, but also have a pair of long incisors. It was originally a weapon used to protect himself and his family, but now it has become a talisman.

But the baby elephant fell at the elephant's feet, and his body was full of blood holes, and blood flowed all over the ground. Even the grass in the vicinity is red.

Wang Ping has even made up the picture of last night.

A playful baby elephant moves away from the herd, and then its mother, a sturdy female steppe elephant, finds her all the way and falls into the poachers' trap.

Snipers lurking in the woods pierced the female elephant's head, causing her to fall in a pool of blood.

Frenzied poachers rushed out and violently dismantled the ivory before it was spotted by the herd.

When he found out that his mother had been killed, he angrily attacked the poachers to protect the female, and was finally shot to death at the female's feet.

"!"

Gu Lang suddenly cursed in a low voice.

Wang Ping turned his head to look and found that this product didn't know when, and he was already in tears.

"Smack!"

Gu Lang suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, making Wang Ping stunned.

Gu Laosan's brain was burned out?

"I'm going to do something! You can't stop me this time!" Gu Lang suddenly looked at Wang Ping very seriously, and his tone was extremely serious.

Let's talk about it first, what is it!

Wang Ping tilted his head, a black question mark on his face. It's just that this face is now, and it's quite cute, but I can't see it at all.

Fortunately, Gu Lang didn't just talk to himself, and then said his plans.

"I know that your experience with Xiaohua has made you extra sensitive to the camera. But we can't be the only ones who know this scene in front of me! Although I, Gu Lang, are soft-spoken, there are still tens of thousands of viewers in my live broadcast room! I have to let them know...... You have to know it......"

Gu Lang still had an expression of explanation at first, but after speaking, his voice had weakened, as if he was muttering after grief and indignation, and like some kind of regretful sigh.

Wang Ping was even more puzzled.

In the live broadcast room, there are still tens of thousands of viewers, they all got the wrong script, and they are still so crazy, do you know the director!
