The giant frog is very large, with a body length of 30 centimeters, and if you stretch your front and back legs, it can be more than a meter.

The frog's main habitat is in the tropics near the equator, such as Cameroon, and South Africa's giant frogs are less abundant and only exist in the Great St. Lucia wetlands, where the climate is not the frog's favorite, but they like the environment.

When Yang Shubao saw this group of giant frogs, he beckoned to John and said, "This side is not far from our territory, so bring them all." ”

John asked, "Toads too?"

Yang Shubao explained: "This African giant frog is now relatively rare, it is an endangered species, a species that is banned from trade globally, and of course they must be protected. ”

John asked, "Why are frogs endangered?

An adult African giant frog is three kilograms, which is a considerable weight, and in the hands of a Chinese chef, this giant frog is a large pot of spicy frogs and dry pot frogs.

But it is not because of eating that the giant frog is endangered, but because people in Europe and the United States like to use it to hold high jump competitions.

Giant frogs are also particularly important for their survival, and the distance from Africa to Europe and the United States is so high that some conservation groups call it the second African slave trade.

Yang Shubao wants to protect giant frogs, in addition to their endangered stage, because they can eat rats, mosquitoes and flies in wetlands, protect the environment, and maintain the balance of insect populations.

In addition, the reserve is now open to the public, so many tourists have arrived, and the giant frog jumping four or five meters high is also a kind of viewing star.

John whistled and called for the giant frog, and a nearby frog emerged from the muddy water, jumped three and a half meters, and jumped straight over.

The first to surrender to Cheng must be rewarded, and Yang Shubao released a little spring of life.

The giant frog flicked its tongue and accurately captured the fountain of life and retracted it from its mouth.

It was easy to buy, and after eating the Fountain of Life, it opened its mouth and screamed.

The giant frog had a big mouth, and the mouth opened like a bag, and Yang Shubao thought it was going to roar like a lion, but it turned out to be a sharp whistle......

Hearing the whistle, he suddenly remembered a description of giant frogs, saying that they had no vocal cords and therefore could not croak like other frogs.

But now they may not be able to croak, but they can make other sounds.

The whistle sounded like a assembly post in the barracks, and when the whistle was heard, the other giant frogs lurking in the muddy water jumped out and ran towards them.

Yang Shubao said: "John, you take them back first, and we will walk slowly - what is this for?"

The little blacks were stunned for a while, and when the giant frogs came to John, they suddenly knelt down, and began to fold their hands in worship in front of Yang Shubao and John, kowtowing and muttering words.

Yang Shubao was helpless, this was probably frightened by their ability to summon giant frogs, and he regarded himself and John as some god in the tribe.

African tribes rely on gathering and hunting for food, so their myths and legends have gods who control animals, and it is normal for the little blacks to regard them as such gods.

He didn't understand the language of the little blacks, and he couldn't explain it, so he simply didn't explain, so he just stood there and made them kneel.

This has the advantage that it will be easier to manage later.

Sure enough, when the little black people stood up, their attitude towards him was even more humble and pious, Yang Shubao pointed forward, and they immediately ran forward.

John walked back with the giant frog, and after about half an hour he came back, riding a zebra and followed by a zebra.

After catching up, he said to Yang Shubao: "City Lord, ride a horse, so fast." ”

Yang Shubao shook his head and said, "It's useless to be fast, look at them, they can't ride horses, can they keep up with us?"

John said, "Then I'll let them go back." ”

Yang Shubao said: "Forget it, you can ride, you will encounter any animals worth bringing back later, you can ride a zebra back and forth faster." ”

He was going to ride the giraffe, and he would ride it when he found it.

John rode a zebra and trotted around, and Uncle Yang led the little blacks to walk on the grassland.

After walking for a while, Eight took the lead, and they sang a ballad together.

Yang Shubao couldn't understand what they were singing, and felt that the score was not good, but the tune was desolate and long, but it was quite appropriate for the occasion, and he felt that it was better to listen to it, and it was better to talk than nothing.

The diversity of flora and fauna around the wetland is impressive, and they encountered many animals and birds along the way, and in one pond they saw the Ferzerui tail fish.

This fish is very beautiful, the body is brilliant red, the dorsal fin is wide like a small flag, there are gold and blue, different fish dorsal fin color is different, when a group of fish swim in the water, it seems to open a bunting exhibition.

Yang Shubao called John over to come and see, and John asked, "Do you want to bring it back too?"

They have ponds for fish, and now some of the fish can be fished out for cooking.

Yang Shubao shook his head and said: "No need, this is a Foze Ruiwei fish, a meteor in the water, and it can only live for six weeks." ”

"So short, no wonder they're so small. John said in a tone of pity, "They don't have time to grow." ”

The fact that the Ferze tail fish can only grow up to five centimetres does have something to do with their longevity, which is the shortest-lived vertebrate fish in the world.

Although short-lived, the population of this fish remained stable, as they reached maturity soon after birth and began to reproduce, and a female fish could produce more than 100 juveniles in her lifetime.

Yang Shubao said: "So there is no need to bring them back, these fish may be coming to the end of their lives, let them stay here." ”

The wetland area is very large, but the area of this pond is small, only two or three square meters, like a puddle.

The small fish live very freely in it, and it is a world for them.

After taking a few photos of Xiaoyu, Yang Shubao got up and clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, continue on the road." ”

The little blacks did not continue on the road, they waited for Yang Shubao to get out of the way, and then pulled out the long cloth draped on their bodies and began to work: using the long cloth as a fishing net to catch fish.

John asked, "What are they going to do? Do you think we want to take these fish? No, no, we're not going to want them." ”

Yang Shubao said: "I'll communicate about this, you go find the giraffe first." ”

There's no way to communicate about this, and the little blacks are looking for something to eat.

They went into the water for a while and caught some small fish.

Those who don't go into the water go to find thin branches, and then string up the small fish and make a long string.

No. 8 came out of the pond and shook the chicken and smiled at Yang Shubao, holding up a string of fish and muttering to him.

Yang Shubao stretched out his hand to show that he didn't understand, and then asked him to quickly wrap the strip of cloth: "What conditions do you play Guoben? Hurry up and put this on." ”
