Chapter 419: Hippos Can't Swim?
The sailors in the live broadcast room, staring at this scene with wide eyes, just want to shout 666.
The hippopotamus actually stood honestly, not at all like the ferocious appearance of the crocodile that had just beaten it.
It's back to being cute and honest again, exactly the same as the hippos in the zoo in the city.
It makes people feel as if the scene they just saw is all an illusion.
A scene of harmony between man and animal, nature.
Ye Tian looked calm, patted the hippopotamus's head, and said directly: "Da Hei, can you help me cross the river?"
The sailors were a little confused when they heard this.
What the hell is this name.
People didn't trample on you, forget it, you even made a request.
β666β
"God is so dark!"
"It's like a dog's name, rhubarb, rich, it doesn't seem to sound like this. β
"Anchor, you say, if the hippopotamus can understand, will it trample you to death. β
"I feel like most of the anchors will step on it to death. β
"Hahahaha~~"
Then just when the sailors were complaining, the hippopotamus slowly squatted down its little short legs and lay down in front of Ye Tian.
Sailors: "......"
The hippopotamus not only accepted the name, but also obediently lay down.
This is a hippopotamus with no discipline at all!
Ye Tian immediately turned over and beckoned to Ami and Brother Pingtou.
Brother Pingtou looked vigilant and walked over.
Ami also hesitated for a moment, and slowly approached.
It wasn't until Ami and Brother Pingtou climbed onto the hippopotamus's back that Ye Tian smiled and stretched out his hand and patted the hippopotamus's head, and the hippopotamus slowly got up again.
Step by step, walk back into the river and slowly dip into the current.
Ye Tian sat on the back of a hippopotamus, with a casual look, and said to the live broadcast room: "Let me popularize it to you, in fact, hippos can't swim." β
Originally, the shocked sailors who were still thinking about the scene of the hippopotamus crossing the river with Ye Tian on their backs at this time came out one after another when they heard this.
βhatοΌοΌβ
"Hippos can't swim?"
"Anchor, you're lying to a child! How can a hippopotamus not be able to swim!"
"That's it, anchor, you also said before, hippos can't leave the water most of the time, how can they not swim? β
"Uh-huh, anchor, you're fooling us again. β
"Anchor, it's really fake, I also feel that your words are quite unreliable!"
"You all calm down, listen to the anchor first, after all, it's a politeness, and then we'll spray. β
"Hahahaha~~ Upstairs, you're a little skinny!"
"That's not right! Baidu Encyclopedia says that hippos are good swimmers!"
"This is a bit of a sassy!Anchor, what else do you have to say? β
"It seems that the anchor planted it this time, and I'm quite happy. β
"Hey, hey~~ Upstairs, fellow travelers"
However, everyone is still relatively unified, that is, most of the hippos stay in the water, how can they not swim?
This question, use your brain, think about it, and you can understand it.
How is it possible to soak in the water all day and not know how to swim?
There are even water friends with fast hands, who directly inquired about Baidu Encyclopedia, and asked Du Niang if there is something.
Immediately saw that the information on the hippopotamus said that he was good at swimming, which is still false!
But often the truth is in the hands of a small number of people.
For everyone's reaction, Ye Tian also completely expected it, as for Baidu Encyclopedia, it was just a reference, not rigorous, and continued: "Hippopotamus is an amphibian, likes to live in groups, is afraid of cold, likes warm and humid climate and environment, they sleep or rest in or near the river almost throughout the day, and come out to eat at night, mainly feed on aquatic plants, occasionally eat land crops, mainly grass, when there is a shortage of food, they also eat meat."
But that doesn't mean they can swim, hippos are huge, but they are light enough to walk in the water and look like they can swim.
As for why it can't swim, it can still survive well in the river, because the hippopotamus generally lives in shallow waters, and it has a special set of It uses flexible muscle tissue like a valve, and can close its ears and nostrils when diving, and can last about 5-10 minutes per dive to eat aquatic plants in the river, but it is not as physiologically adaptable to water as aquatic mammals, and it lives on land for a long time, and can run at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, so it can only be regarded as a semi-aquatic animal.
In normal times, the hippopotamus will submerge its whole body in the water, and only expose its ears, eyes and nostrils to the surface of the water, so that it can not only breathe normally, but also detect danger in time without being detected by the enemy. In addition to being safe and cool, water can also help support its large and heavy body, allowing it to walk freely in the water.
So although the hippopotamus always stays in the water, it can't swim and can only dive. When frightened, it is common to avoid water. Spend most of the day in the water, and generally breathe with your head out of the water every 3 to 5 minutes when you are lurking underwater, but you can stay dormant for about half an hour without coming out of the water to breathe. β
Listening to this, some of them were immediately messy, they were originally grass on the wall.
Looking at what Ye Tian said seriously, it didn't look like a lie at all, so they didn't know which version to believe for a while.
In general, it is Ye Tian who is more convincing, after all, he has said so much information.
"Really?"
"I feel like what the anchor said makes sense. β
"The anchor didn't miss it, the anchor was right. β
"But Baidu Encyclopedia clearly says that hippos are good swimmers!"
"I also feel like the anchor is right. β
"I still believe in Baidu Encyclopedia, after all, this is a perfect and integrated data upload. β
"But Baidu Encyclopedia is also written by people!"
"Anyway, I believe in the anchor, and it's right. β
There are many people who are willing to believe that what Ye Tian said is correct, but after all, some people say that the hippopotamus is good at swimming as written on Baidu Encyclopedia, so these people didn't speak, just looked at it curiously.
Ye Tian was originally not interested in this kind of argument, but seeing that the quarrel between the sailors slowly turned sour, and even began to scold, he had to take care of it.
waved his hand and said, "Stop, let the facts speak!" Baidu Encyclopedia, that's just a reference, not rigorous, hippos encounter emergencies, just like us, people who can't swim, there will also be dog planing, that is the instinct to survive, but that is not swimming, as for the proposition of good swimming, it is impossible to stand, now the hippopotamus wants to carry us across the river, the depth of the water in the middle of the river, is definitely more than the height of the hippopotamus, you see when the hippopotamus crosses the river, has been floating on the water, or slowly sink down, good swimming will never slowly sink to the bottom. β
A simple and effective way to let the facts speak for themselves, more convincing.
If he keeps explaining and talking about flowers, some people still don't believe it, because they have seen with their own eyes how it is written on Baidu Encyclopedia.
Ye Tian's words immediately aroused the echo of many people.
"Makes sense!"
"Yes, yes, let the facts speak. β
"That's right, Baidu Encyclopedia is also wrong! I found one last time, and it's not completely correct. β
Everyone immediately stopped arguing, and they all looked at the picture in the live broadcast room curiously, and followed the hippo towards the center of the river.
