502.Which is the strongest king of the waterway (1/5)
Coping with the homeless man, Yang Shubao waited intently for the Swedish royal family documentary recording team.
But the team hasn't come yet, it's a bunch of fat-headed, small-eared guys coming.
These fat-headed and small-eared hippos are hippos.
More than half of the 20 square kilometres of grassland that Director Rice applied for him were wetlands, and his reserve officially had a valuable wetland.
The wetlands in the Great Santa Lucia Park can be connected, and if he has a wetland here, he has all the animals and plants related to the wetland in the park.
The animals and plants that could theoretically live in the park's wetlands can now all live on his territory, as long as they arrive.
This time, a herd of hippos came.
There are a large number of hippos that come to the country, and generally the size of the hippopotamus herd in the wild is twenty or thirty individuals, which is the most common, but in a few cases they can reach the size of hundreds of individuals.
The hippos that arrived along the river were somewhere in between, with about 50 hippos in size.
The lead hippopotamus is a large female hippopotamus who comes to the bank of the swamp and climbs up directly to it, then enters the meadow and begins to look for food.
Hippos are herbivores that are attracted by the abundant and fresh pastures of the reserve.
The female hippopotamus took the lead, followed by the other hippos, and an army of fat paper came ashore.
The male rhinoceros, who were stomping their feet on the shore, were stunned, thinking that they had come to the door to grab the land and smash the field.
As a result, the male rhinoceros shared the same hatred, and they gave up disputes and united with the outside world, and firmly implemented the Chang Kaishen-style strategic policy of fighting outside the country and first securing the inside.
Male rhinos are bigger than hippos, and no one is afraid of anyone when they meet.
There is a sub-adult male rhinoceros that is the most ferocious, he is not yet full of size and is smaller than an adult hippopotamus, but he has slipped through the net when he cut the horns of the rhinoceros at the rescue station, and he still has large horns on his nose.
So it rushed up to a hippopotamus with a fierce momentum......
The hippopotamus blocked it and opened its bloody mouth......
The hippopotamus's mouth can be spread at 90 degrees, and the little rhinoceros hits it, and it has no time to dodge and simply opens its mouth to wait for the rabbit.
Rhinos are much faster on land than hippos, and hippos are less flexible once they go ashore.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the big mouth, the little rhinoceros hurried to brake urgently.
But the grass was smooth, and it failed to brake and crashed into the hippopotamus's mouth.
Seeing a hippopotamus shut up is a tragedy: according to the test, the bite force of an adult male hippopotamus can reach a whopping two tons!
The hippopotamus did close its mouth, but it did not bite hard, because the hippopotamus's mouth is not full of fangs like mammals, mainly four rough canines and two lower incisors.
Their lower incisors do not grow up and down, but back and forth, like a flat shovel in the gums.
In this way, the head of the sub-adult rhinoceros is not big enough, and it happens to be stuck between the four fangs, and the hippopotamus does not bite it when it closes its mouth, and it has a rhinoceros horn, and the rhinoceros horn is against the jaw of the hippo, and the stinging hippopotamus is painful.
So the situation is a little awkward.
Hippos can't keep their mouths shut completely, and rhinos can't pull their heads out.
When Yang Shubao arrived, he saw such a scene, a hippopotamus with a rhinoceros head in his mouth, two iron Hanhan riding tigers in a difficult confrontation, several rhinos and a group of hippos surrounded like a fool to watch the excitement.
Seeing this, he was so angry that he went up and kicked the ass of a rhinoceros: "What about the excitement?
The rhinoceros arched forward with its head down, the hippopotamus squinted at it, and the little tail on its ass spun like a propeller.
Within a radius of 10 meters, rain and dew are wet!
The rhinoceros arched a few steps forward and hurriedly turned its head and ran, not because it was afraid of dirt or smell, but because it hurt to hit the body.
Hippos are very powerful, they have short tails and are powerful, and slapping them on the eggs and throwing them away is like a softened chain hammer, because the acceleration is strong, and the blow is strong.
If you encounter a hippopotamus that is constipated, the eggs thrown out are called terrible.
Yang Shubao hurriedly retreated and said to John, who followed him: "Be careful, don't be hit." ”
John said nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid of getting dirty." ”
"It's not a dirty problem, it's that it hurts, you have to know that this thing can kill fish in the water!" Yang Shubao said solemnly.
John was shocked: "Really? Do they spray bullets?"
Yang Shubao sneered: "Actually, it's fake. ”
Here, the big hippopotamus flicks its tail, and several other hippos excitedly rush up and circle around it.
John asked, "They seem excited, what's the matter with these animals, is that their hobby so unique?"
"They don't love dung, they seek strength and strength," Yang said. You must not believe it, these hippos can attract the opposite sex by defecating, especially the male hippos, and the feces flying far means that the tail is strong and the body is strong. In the same way, the female hippopotamus will also fly at the male hippopotamus to show her unique charm. ”
John really didn't believe it: "You're kidding me?"
Yang Shubao said: "This is true, and there are scientific research data to prove it. ”
Now is not the time to discuss this, the sub-adult baby rhinoceros is in a hurry to come to the rescue, and John whistles to calm the hippopotamus, goes up and breaks its mouth and drags the little rhino's head out.
The baby rhinoceros is very urine, and when it comes out, it immediately retreats, lowering its head and preparing to find another direction to attack.
Yang Shubao pushed it away.
There was plenty of grass on the shore, and the hippos immediately lowered their heads and ate it.
They are lawn choppers, with large mouths skimming over the pasture, and blades of grass are shoveled off by their incisors and enter their mouths.
A few starlings flew over and squatted on their backs and pecked, and these hippos must have quite a few parasites on them.
The arrival of hippos brings the wetlands to life.
When they have eaten and drunk, they return to the wetland and squat to bathe, squinting their eyes and shaking their little ears, looking very happy.
The wetlands under the jurisdiction of the reserve are now very large, covering thousands of acres, and Yang Shubao took the males away and scattered them in order to prevent conflicts between the male rhinos and the hippos.
John stayed on the shores of the wetland to keep an eye on the hippos, which had not yet been domesticated and that Yang was afraid that they would harm tourists.
It is rumored that 3,000 people have been killed by hippos in Africa, which is an exaggerated number, and hippos are not so terrible.
But it's true that from time to time someone dies in their mouths, hippos have a very strange personality, and most of the time they seem to be very peaceful, and they like to hide in the water and peep out only with their eyes and ears exposed.
However, when stimulated, they go berserk, and the sources of stimulation are diverse, including but not limited to: animals that come to the river to drink, large birds flying overhead, and changing weather.
Last month, Zhang Jinjie told Yang Shubao about a man-made accident in South Africa, a mother took her daughter to see a hippopotamus, and she wanted her daughter to get close to the hippopotamus to take a photo, but it was a little dark at that time, the camera was suddenly exposed, the hippopotamus was stimulated, and the girl was hit and killed.
Today, there are tourists on the grasslands, and the wetland area is the second largest tourist destination after orchards, and every wave of tourists will come to see hyenas, wild dogs, rhinos, giant frogs, and now there are more projects to see hippos.
John was sent to guard the hippos to prevent them from causing trouble.
