Looking at the mobile phone screen, in the high-definition image quality of the drone, a big guy with dark and short thick legs, Liu Ming spoke first:

"It's dragging the willow tree back, it's not going to be a beaver! I've heard that the beaver's favorite food is the willow tree." ”

"It was dragged to build a dam. ”

Chen Fan pointed to the gap downstream and said, "See, it's dragging it over, blocking the waterway, making stones, sediment and the like, and when the stream slowly rises, it is good to catch fish and shrimp, screws, frogs and the like." ”

"I look like a beaver, our island province is a good beaver, I saw it when I went to Wuzhi Mountain!"

Liu Ming has his insistence, and it is rare that this thing seems to have been seen.

"Let's tell you this, if you look closely, there are discarded bones next to it. There is the feces of the otter on the shore, and it is clear that this is a male otter who is preparing for courtship.

And if it was a beaver, it wouldn't let go of the willow branch at all, because that was its favorite food. ”

Sure enough, as Chen Fan said, after the drone circled around, especially when he saw that the willow branches were safe and sound and were used as materials for the embankment, Liu Ming had no choice but to admit it.

"Then Fanye, how do you tell the difference between a beaver and an otter, and what is the difference between them??"

"That's right, Master Fan, how I look at it, I can't tell the difference, is it a close relative or something?"

Facing the doubts of the two women, as well as the requirements made by the audience in the live broadcast room at this moment, Chen Fan smiled, then waved his hand and said:

"Since you have questions, then I will reluctantly make it difficult for you, let me explain it to you in detail!"

"First of all, both beavers and otters are now protected animals, and there are not many species in the world.

Secondly, the beaver is very different from the otter, it is not a close relative at all, the beaver is an aquatic rodent, it is closer to the capybara, the rat and the like, it is a vegetarian.

Whereas, otters belong to the order Carnivora, the family Mustelidae. It mainly feeds on fish, shrimp, and shellfish.

The body of the beaver is hypertrophied, there is no obvious difference between females and males, the head is short and blunt, the eyes are small, the neck is short, the limbs are short and wide, the forelimbs are short, the feet are small, with strong claws, and the hindlimbs are thick and powerful;

The tail is large and flattened. Beavers are nocturnal, rarely burrow during the day, are good at swimming and diving, do not hibernate, have very weak self-defense ability, and are timid.

Beavers like to feed on the twigs, bark and roots of a variety of plants, reproduce once a year, 1-6 litters per litter, inhabit the cold temperate and subarctic forests and rivers, mainly distributed in Europe, and the number is small in other regions.

The body of the beaver is covered with long, coarse needle hairs and dense, soft hairs. The hairs are yellowish-brown, and the base and villi are brownish-gray. Adults are brown on the back, and the head and abdomen are lighter dorsally.

Beavers are associated with frequent gnawing on trees, and their skulls are unusually solid, with well-developed bony ridges, and a sagittal crest and herringbone crest are distinct.

The nasal bones are wide anteriorly and narrow at the back. The cheekbones are particularly thick, and the incisors are thick and chiseled, which is suitable for biting off branches and trunks.

Most notably, beavers have large, flat-shaped tails, while otters are amphibious masters with much smaller tail proportions.

Otters, on the other hand, are born with their eyes open, toothless and incapacitated, and begin to learn to swim with their mothers when they are about 2 months old.

Beavers, on the other hand, are precocious animals that are born with their eyes open and can swim immediately.

In dam building, the beaver has a greater ability because it mainly feeds on trees and has a strong bite ability, and the destruction rate of surrounding trees in the area where the beaver appears will be very large.

Otters, on the other hand, build dikes, more to round up fish and shrimp, and are more random, unless they are courting and feeding offspring, the dikes will be specially prepared, as is now.

In terms of body size, the otter has a streamlined body, a thick and long tail, webbed toes, and is very agile in both land and water, swimming at a speed of about 9.6 to 11 kilometers per hour.

At the same time, otters will also move and forage during the day, and their food includes fish, shrimp, crabs, frogs, etc., usually moving alone, and will dig shallow holes in earthen embankments and other places as breeding places for young children during the breeding period.

The beaver is nocturnal, which is not what we see, with a large head, short legs, webbed toes, and a flat tail.

In the water, beavers can swim at speeds of up to 7 kilometers per hour, but on land they move quite slowly.

When they stand on their feet to nibble on trees and drag wood, their tails are used for support and balance, a bit like the groundhogs we usually see. ”

Chen Fan said that the otter over there had already dived into the water, and when it came up, a salmon had already been picked up on the small paw in front of him and gnawed there as a snack.

"Damn, this thing is really good at catching fish, it's a pity that the picture is so bloody, eat it raw, and don't let go of the internal organs?"

Liu Yan gritted her teeth and shook her head while watching.

"People specialize in eating raw, where is there any blood, let's go, let's go back and get breakfast!"

As soon as Chen Fan thought of the dozen or so matsutake mushrooms he had picked, he already thought of how to eat this thing.

"How do you eat these mushrooms?"

Chen Fan asked a few people.

"Stew, or stir-fry, our family likes to put mushrooms in chicken soup, but it's fresh. ”

Zhang Xuejuan picked up the yellow porcini mushroom.

"Yes, I like fried mushrooms. ”

"Wait, I'll show you how to eat matsutake mushrooms when I go back!"

Chen Fan remembered the food on the tip of his tongue that he had seen, and the first season started with picking and eating matsutake mushrooms.

"The best and freshest way to eat this matsutake mushroom is actually 48 hours after it is picked. ”

"So, the four of us, go back, eat the freshest, I want to show you what is the new way to eat. ”

"Hmph, pretend!"

"What's the use of saying it, it's not that I haven't eaten it, matsutake mushrooms must be stewed soup, I used to stew with ginseng and black chicken in a five-star hotel. ”

"That's because there are too few ingredients, and the quality of matsutake mushrooms is not good, and when you get to the camp in a while, I will let you re-impress this top ingredient!"

Perhaps it is a prophecy, even after many years, when these people think about how to eat matsutake mushrooms, the first thing that comes to mind is that there is a big boy named Fan Ye, with a dark and handsome face, miserable white teeth, and the sound of oil on the fire......

Back at the campsite, the fog cleared and a calm day began.

Chen Fan asked Liu Ming to light the fire, but he went to clean the matsutake mushrooms himself, and then returned to the campfire.

This is where the fish oil that was prepared before comes in handy.

Spread the fish oil out of the marching pot first, then wipe it with the fish oil, and continue, then apply the sheep fat left earlier.

"This ...... Which one did you come up with?"
