It is reliable to have ostriches watch over the grassland and their eyesight is better than that of dogs.

So when there are any large animals or large groups of animals approaching the reserve, they can give a good warning.

This time there were a large group of large animals close to the reserve, and naturally they couldn't hide it, but they didn't expect these animals to be so fierce, and an ostrich ran slowly and was caught and hammered to death on the spot and eaten.

Standing under the parasol, Yang Shubao looked south, a group of black-haired animals wandering around the grass, some climbing on all fours, and some standing up and walking.

"So many baboons?" asked Nicole curiously.

Yang Shubao nodded: "Yes, they are guinea-tailed baboons, the most capable group of baboon families." ”

It is not uncommon to encounter guinea-tailed baboons in southern Africa, and they are widely distributed because they are highly adaptable to the environment, and they can be found in tropical arid grasslands, lowland grasslands, upland grasslands, coastal forests, and mountain forests.

In addition, they have a very mixed diet, the fruits, leaves and roots of plants can be eaten, and small animals such as insects, rodents, and birds can also be eaten, and they are not picky eaters.

Pick a random spot on the South African grasslands and give it to them, and they will find something to eat.

John explained to him, "Are they called baboons? Well, these baboons are very hot-tempered, and the ostrich flock tried to drive them away but was attacked, but fortunately the ostrich flock ran to me in time, otherwise I am afraid that they would have perished." ”

Yang Shubao said: "These ostriches are too small, let them stay away from the baboon herd, although it is said that baboons generally eat plants, but they can also eat meat, especially guinea tail baboons, they are large, strong attack, and can even catch small antelope, grass hare and wild mice for food." ”

Attracted to orchards, baboons are omnivores but love sweet and juicy fruits.

Two strong baboons came from the side to try to get into the orchard, and just as they approached the grove, a big yellow dog came out from behind the bushes and barked at them.

These are two male baboons that have just come of age, they are very bold and fierce, they are not small, they stand more than a meter tall, their shoulders are wide and their hips are large, like a dwarven warrior.

So after encountering the big yellow dog, they are not afraid, at most they do not move forward, but they definitely do not retreat.

One of them sat down to confront the big yellow dog, and the other sneaked to the side, not knowing whether to go around and enter the orchard or attack from the side.

Yang Shubao can't guess its intentions, baboons are cunning and cunning, they are very intelligent animals, baboons living with people in the city can even learn to open the door of the house, baboons who have seen people fight will also learn to smash things with stones.

He was afraid that the big yellow dog would suffer in a confrontation with the baboon, so he said to John, "Remind the dog and let him be careful." What are you looking at here? Go and send them to the fruit forest, we have a big forest here and a lot of fruits, so there is no pressure to feed them. ”

Nate smiled and said, "Don't worry, city lord, let's take a look at the excitement first." ”

John explained: "These animals have a very bad temper, I just had a brief encounter with them, they are wild and untamable, and they always attack small animals, so I asked the dogs to teach them a lesson first, so that they know who is the boss here." ”

The big yellow dog is not afraid of the baboon's tricks because it still has companions.

The baboon had just walked to the flank of the big yellow dog, and before it could attack, another dog appeared, this time a Rottweiler, who stood up from the grass and bared its teeth.

Seeing these two baboons, they did not hesitate, turned around and ran wildly.

The dogs did not go after them, and saw the baboons leave them and sneak into the grass and hide.

Green stomped his foot regretfully: "These baboons are so cowardly that they don't dare to go on one-on-one?"

"They are not timid when they face chicks. John snorted.

Yang Shubao recognized his strategy, it is good to clean up the baboon herd, this thing is indeed very wild, there are baboon herds in some cities in Africa, they dare to do whatever they want, break into supermarkets, set up stalls, drill buildings, beat children, and there are many people who are injured by baboons every year.

In 2010, when Cape Town hosted the World Cup, the South African government tried its best to manage the city's policing to prevent homeless people and gang members from harming foreign fans, but foreign fans were still injured, which made the baboons scratch.

To this end, the South African Government has provided more than $600,000 in additional funding to dedicate to the management of baboons.

The baboons are not timid, the two male baboons came to explore the way, and when they found that the dog was not chasing them, they stopped and changed directions to approach the orchard.

John ambushed a number of dogs in the woods, and as soon as the baboons approached, another dog appeared.

The two baboons ran and stopped, and after many temptations, they ran back to find the baboon king.

The baboon king is the strongest and fiercest of the group, and it enjoys the most resources, and it will have four or five baboons around him to groom him and catch lice.

Not knowing how the baboons communicated, the baboon king finally pushed away the female baboon next to him and stood up, she turned her head and squeaked around, and all the baboons that had been rolling in the grass gathered around him, and then they rushed to the orchard under the leadership of the two spy baboons.

Nicole quickly counted and said, "There are so many baboons, there must be a hundred, right?"

Yang Shubao said: "It should be about eighty, this is a group of guinea-tailed baboons, they also contain some small families, not all of them are one family, so there are so many male adult baboons, otherwise the male baboons will be driven out once they grow up, just like a lion pack." ”

Since the advent of modern zoology, the study of baboons has not stopped, this is one of the closest animals to humans, especially their social structure is particularly similar to humans, they can form a group with a family unit, and can also form a large group with a small group as a unit, much like the tribal civilization in the early stage of human social development.

The attack behavior of the baboon herd is also similar to that of humans, first with two spy baboons leading the way, then the baboon king charging at the front like a general, followed by other male baboons, and at the end with small beasts with young beasts.

More than eighty baboons charged with great momentum, and when a dog came out, they were not afraid at all, and pounced on it with their paws.

John pursed his lips and whistled loudly, and the shadows of dogs swayed in the grass around the orchard, and at least thirty dogs rushed in from all around.

When the confrontation ensued, Nicole was shocked: "This is incredible, it is simply a war! The baboons are the infantry, the dogs are the cavalry, the infantry attack the main cavalry position, and the cavalry outflanks from the flanks! Nature is amazing!"

Yang Shubao said to John: "Be careful, the cavalry has a natural advantage over the infantry, but they are good at attacking but not good at defending, once the infantry breaks through the cavalry position, the attack behavior of the two wings is useless." ”

John laughed, "What did they rely on to break through my position?"

As the baboons and dogs meet, Lucy whistles again, and at this moment a mighty figure rushes out from behind a bush in the fruit forest: the wind blows the mane, the roar is earth-shattering, and Simba has been recruited!
