The body of the Chinese alligator is black and shiny when exposed to the sun.

Liu Wei took the live broadcast phone from the head to the tail, swept it once, and then returned to its mouth, and said: "I think everyone is most interested in the crocodile teeth, the bloody scenes you see in documentaries or movie clips are made of its sharp teeth, but the crocodile teeth do not help it much to eat!"

Liu Wei reached out and gently pinched the teeth arranged on the edge of the Yangtze crocodile's mouth, the teeth were not long or short, there were many of them, and they looked extremely sharp.

The sunbathing alligator twisted its tail slightly, reminding Liu Wei that it didn't like humans to touch it with such movements.

Liu Wei touched the head of the Chinese alligator to soothe its emotions and make sure that it would not choose to leave out of boredom, "Brothers, crocodile's teeth are all allotted teeth, and this kind of tooth can quickly grow back after falling out.

Its biggest defect is that it cannot bite and chew food, which greatly reduces the function of its strong and long-grown jaws.

Therefore, when the alligator eats, it can only hold the food in the mouth and swallow it.

When a crocodile pounces on a larger land animal, it cannot bite them to death, but drags them into the water to drown. Conversely, when crocodiles pounce on larger aquatic animals, they throw them onto land, killing their prey from lack of oxygen.

When encountering a large piece of food that cannot be swallowed, the crocodile often "clamps" the food with its large mouth and violently smashes it on a stone or tree trunk until it is soft or broken, and then opens its mouth to swallow it.

If it doesn't work, it simply throws its prey aside, lets it rot naturally, and then swallows it when it is rotten enough to be swallowed, so the Chinese alligator is also called a "scavenger" because of its habit of eating carrion.

Although the crocodile's teeth cannot chew food, it has developed a special stomach with high acidity and acidity, which makes the crocodile have a good digestive function.

Crocodiles also often eat sand and stones, which are used in the stomach to help grind food and facilitate digestion, similar to chickens. ”

After listening to Liu Wei's popular science, the audience had a lot of questions, and changed their understanding of crocodiles.

Originally, in their opinion, crocodile's teeth can tear all opponents, as long as there is a crocodile in the water, that water will be red with blood, I didn't expect it to eat food so hard.

"All I can say is that I may have misunderstood crocodiles!"

"It's boring, I thought Ah Wei was going to fight with the Chinese alligator, but it turned out to be like an uncle, so enjoyable!"

"It's a crocodile!

"Brothers, we also have to gain knowledge from the show, instead of thinking about fighting and killing every day, now is a harmonious society. ”

“……”

The wooden boat leaned against the shore, and the alligators that were active in the triangle bend all dived into the water and disappeared, leaving only two alligators still lying on their stomachs enjoying the sun.

Zhang Kui went up and made a simple record, Yang Zi Crocodile slowly felt the oppression brought by humans, it writhed its body into the water, and then dived into the water.

Liu Wei said: "There are too many of us, and the Chinese alligator can't adapt yet!"

Zhang Kui smiled: "I have done some simple data analysis, I am very lucky to be able to meet the wild Chinese alligator group today, Ah Wei, you are a lucky star of wild animals!"

Liu Wei smiled and nodded, this nickname sounded pretty good, and he happily took it.

Director Zhang glanced at the time and said, "It's still early, I'll take you to see the growth of the Chinese alligators we released last year!"

"Listen to your arrangement!" Liu Wei said with a smile.

The group re-got in the car and drove for two hours to the westernmost part of the Yangtze Alligator National Reserve in Jing County, where the ecosystem is relatively intact and far away from the influence of the city.

Zhang Kui took Liu Wei to meet an old man, the old man's name was Li Jinyin, who was the "crocodile guard" they hired.

Before the establishment of the Yangtze Alligator National Nature Reserve, Li Jinyin had contact with wild Chinese alligators active in the reserve for a long time.

Although his education level is limited and he cannot analyze 123 like Liu Wei and Zhang Kui, he has invested in the Yangtze alligator, and this affection makes him very familiar with and understand the Yangtze alligator.

Liu Wei and Li Jinyin shook hands.

Li Jinyin said with a smile: "I'm just going to feed some meat to Zhu Polong (the local name for the Yangtze crocodile), I'll take you to see it, the pig Polong released last year is growing very well!"

The water area is half an hour away from Li Jinyin's house, and it can only be walked.

Liu Wei learned that Li Jinyin would bring food to the alligators on time every day to serve dinner, and considering that the alligators that have just entered the wild need a long time to adapt and may have insufficient food, the reserve will hire some villagers who are familiar with the alligators to take care of them.

Arrived at the edge of the pond.

Li Jinyin chopped the few chickens he brought, and then took the meat with tongs and shouted into the water: "Li Long, here, Li Long, eat meat!"

Li Jinyin's accent was very strong, Liu Wei didn't understand, and asked curiously, "Uncle Li, what did you just shout?"

"Li Long, my surname is Li, I treat them like children, so I named them Li Long!"

After Li Jinyin finished speaking with a smile, the head of a Chinese alligator came out of the water, and he excitedly pointed at the Chinese alligator and said to Liu Wei: "Look, it's out!"

The smile on his face is as innocent as a child.

The alligator that emerged from the water was not yet an adult, and it stared at the people on the shore for a while, as if it was identifying Li Jinyin and them.

"Come on, Li Long~" Li Jinyin summoned again.

The alligator swam to the shore, Li Jinyin handed it over with the food, it bit into its mouth, and then quickly got into the water.

Liu Wei asked, "Can I feed it?"

Li Jinyin smiled and said: "Of course you can, you can rest assured, it is very obedient and will not bite!"

Liu Wei took the pliers and clamped a chicken leg, and also shouted into the water: "Li Long, here, Li Long, eat meat!"

"Hahahaha, it's the same as a dime!"

"Ah Wei, it's useless for you to shout, people ignore you!"

"If Ah Wei can call out the Chinese alligator, I'll wash my hair upside down!"

“……”

A Chinese alligator, about the same size as the one just now, popped up on the other side, and like the previous one, it stared at Liu Wei and them for a while, and then watched the meat between the pincers swim to the shore.

Liu Wei stretched out, the alligator raised his head to bite, Liu Wei took it away at once, the alligator bit empty, Liu Wei saw Li Jinyin laughing, he guessed that there should be no problem in teasing the alligator like this.

Liu Wei handed it over again, and then pulled it back little by little, and the little Yangtze crocodile tried hard to climb the mountain bank with its short thick feet and neck, and kept staring at the food in Liu Wei's hands with its mouth open.

It swung its body and chased after it, Liu Wei put the pliers back again, it stopped in place, and its mouth was long, as if begging Liu Wei: You hurry up!

"Laugh, cry, laugh!"

"Ah Wei, you're so bad!"

"I won't give it to you, you bite me!"

"Ah Wei, I order you, feed it quickly!"
