794 Supplemental knowledge
The grassland elephant has the heart to trample on the flat-headed brother.
Tineema was annoyed.
It's been dangling in front of you, showing that you're going to fight.
It took a step forward, Brother Pingtou immediately retreated, and circled its body, the grassland seemed to have a fire that couldn't go out, and there was really no way to take Brother Pingtou.
The little things are too flexible.
It is thirsty again, and a wide range of activities will continue to consume the water in the body, and after a period of entanglement, it will stop moving.
Liu Wei looked at the grassland elephant and said to Fatten: "Sometimes when facing an opponent with a large disparity in strength, you don't necessarily need to defeat it to achieve the desired effect, Fatty, at this point, you have to learn more from Brother Pingtou, so that you can make a provocative move!"
"Wang~Hmph~"
Chubby snorted, and he didn't like this tactic in his heart.
But in fact, it has the effect that the owner wants to see.
The steppe elephant bows its head and uses its long tusks to pry the soil and absorb the moisture in the soil.
More than an hour passed.
The team of experts contacted by Yoda arrived in a hurry.
When they learned that the water source was contaminated, they also brought in three water trucks and a forklift.
These large pieces of equipment are provided by IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare).
A middle-aged research expert from the famous Depeng hurriedly walked up to Liu Wei, shook hands with him, and after introducing himself, asked directly, "Liu, what's the situation now? Where is the location of the water source?"
Three hundred meters in front of the position.
Because of the arid climate, the water evaporates too much, and the water level of the pond has dropped so much that it is impossible to see it directly in the past.
"OK! Liu, please take me over!" Depeng said.
Liu Wei took Depeng and a team of experts to the team, where the researchers extracted the water, tested the water quality, and used instruments to measure the hydrogen compounds and heavy metals in the water, far exceeding the normal drinking water standards for wild animals.
"It's disgusting!" said Deppon angrily.
"What do you do now?" asked Liu Wei.
"We have to fill this pond up!" Deppon said.
This is the most straightforward method.
However, heavy metals and chemicals in the water can also pollute the land, affect the growth of herbs, and may still cause animal poisoning.
Liu Wei trusts the team to draw up a detailed treatment plan, and his biggest concern now is where the animals around him will find water after the water source is filled in and before the rainy season begins.
Depeng proposed his idea to Liu Wei: "We will contact the local government department as soon as possible to build an artificial reservoir in the shortest possible time and use pipelines to divert water from the Nile River basin!"
Liu Wei shook his head slightly, "Depeng, this is not a simple drinking water project!"
Depeng said: "Actually, we started planning two years ago, and the funds were provided by the foundation, and now we need the cooperation of the local government department!"
"I hope you can successfully complete this project!" Liu Wei said.
Depeng arranges for forklifts to fill the water source.
The grassland elephant is enjoying the moisture brought by the waterwheel, and after taking a sip, spraying water on the body to dissipate heat.
It noticed that the water source was being damaged and immediately ran to it.
A few experts simply couldn't stop it.
Depeng looked at the rushing grassland elephant and said to Liu Wei, "Liu, you need to keep doing its work!"
Pointing to the steppe elephant.
"Leave it to me!"
Liu Wei didn't let Brother Pingtou and Chubby go to the grassland elephant this time.
It satisfies the body's need for water, and its mood calms down a lot.
Liu Wei stretched out his hand and stroked its ear, "The water there can't be drunk!" We are working together to find a way to solve the drinking water problem!"
The steppe elephant did not show angry emotions and walked to the right.
Liu Wei followed it.
It stopped abruptly and stretched out its nose to sniff at the body of the already dead impala. Shih Tzu literature
Then he raised his head and curled his nose and roared.
Seems to be venting his emotions.
It seemed to know the cause of the impala's death.
To survive until now, this steppe elephant must have escaped from poachers many times.
After venting.
The steppe elephant looked back at Liu Wei, blinked, and put his long trunk on Liu Wei's shoulder.
Liu Wei stared into its eyes.
As if seeing the grievances on the face of this "old man".
"It's okay! With us, we won't let you be hurt!" Liu Wei held the elephant's trunk with both hands and gently stroked and comforted.
The grassland elephant did not continue to stop the expert group from filling in the water source, and its huge body snuggled up to Liu Wei's shoulder.
It feels the sincerest kindness of humanity.
Busy all night.
Liu Wei didn't sleep all night.
Depeng and several experts set up a makeshift camp here to continue their work.
Liu Wei took the grassland elephant back to the place where he camped last night.
Pack up your tent and turn on your live streaming phone.
The steppe elephant has started the daily life of "eating and eating" again.
Liu Wei calmly faced the camera, and did not say a word about what happened last night, "Brothers, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."
After a night of hard work, I have developed a strong bond with the prairie elephants.
Look!"
Walk up to the steppe elephant and caress its body without hesitation.
"~, what did we miss again?"
"Ah Wei, how did you do it?"
"Your uncle, every time it's exciting, it's broadcast, and next time it's like this, I'll take it off!"
"Hahaha, weren't the previous shows frequent?", Liu Wei smiled, "Now the weather is still relatively cool, taking advantage of the time when the grassland elephants are eating, I will give you a brief science popularization of the grassland elephants."
In fact, the whole elephant family is the same in many of its habits.
We have seen Asian elephants and Borneo elephants before, and we have also popularized a lot of elephant knowledge.
I'm going to give you a little bit more about African savannah elephants.
The first is its trunk, which is very flexible and cannot be used without it for eating and drinking.
The tip of the apparatus elephant has a finger-like protrusion, unlike the Asian elephant, which has only one protrusion, while the African savannah elephant has two!"
Liu Wei crouched down to photograph the proboscis that was curling grass, "Its trunk is more powerful than other elephants, and it can pick up more than a ton of objects." ”
"A ton! Damn, the weight of a van!"
"As soon as the proboscis comes out, it sweeps across the board!"
"I can't help but pinch my nose!"
"The elephant's trunk is really strong, and the thief is flexible, you just put a small peanut, it can pick it up!"
"It's called stretching!"
"I suspect you're driving again!"
Liu Wei got up and said, "The last time I introduced Asian elephants, I just mentioned to everyone that they use infrasound waves to communicate.
The propagation distance of infrasound waves is affected by the air flow, under normal circumstances, the propagation distance is about 11km, if the medium caused by the air flow is uneven, the propagation distance may be reduced by more than half, if in this case, the same kind of people need to continue to communicate, like the group will stomp together, produce a strong roaring sound, this method can spread the sound up to 30 kilometers away.
Therefore, although the soles of the elephant's feet have thick foot pads, they can still make a deafening sound.
The most surprising thing is that the elephant can use the bones to conduct sound waves, which travel along the soles of the feet through the bones to the inner ears.
In addition, the fat on the elephant's face can be used to amplify sound for better reception, which, like many sea creatures, is called amplification fat in the industry. ”
