Chapter 158: How Did the Deer Come About?
Chen Fan pointed to a few more obvious marks left by the fox.
"These thieves must have been near me, swaggering over to steal my food while I was in the water. ”
"When I look at these paw prints, I guess there are not just two, at least three. ”
Chen Fan pointed to the ground and left a little messy footprint.
"Now, it's a pity, I estimate that there are only a dozen catties of venison jerky, and five catties of dried fish, and the rest is bee chrysalis, and there are about three or four catties, well, it should be able to support the food replenishment in the next few days." ”
Chen Fan said this, and began to pack his luggage.
Less than a kilometer down the mountain, at the mouth of a small cave, several sneaky heads were licking each other's mouths, playing with each other, combing each other's hair.
Inside the cave, there is also reindeer jerky that has been bitten in half.
These animals are really foxes that live around here.
Attracted by the smell of Chen Fan's barbecue last night, four adult foxes ran over and stole a deer leg.
Farther away, the venison abandoned by Chen Fan was first discovered by a group of grassland harriers, followed by vultures and falcons.
After several species of carnivorous birds of prey visited, the fox herd found out and surrounded it.
And in the end, the lynx, which came out of the forest and arrived at the latest, gnawed the remaining bones.
On the other side, Chen Fan packed his luggage, carried a backpack, carried a jungler pickaxe as a flat burden, hung two pieces of venison jerky on the jungle pickaxe, and walked leisurely towards the forest.
"Hetao, Hetao, gone!"
Chen Fan walked for a while, and didn't see the Hetao coming, so he called it on the spot.
Fortunately, it didn't take a minute for the black figure to rush over.
And Chen Fan controlled the drone while walking towards the depths of the planned maple forest.
While walking, Chen Fan continued his live broadcast routine today......
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your support with tips and gifts, by the way, the new veterans, please help me pay attention to it, make me more popular, and it's good to share half more steamed bread money!"
"Poof, this devil anchor, blatantly wants to pay attention, it's finally exposed!"
"That's it, this guy who is the anchor, just remember that he's cool, you haven't told us yet, where did that reindeer come from!"
"Anchor anchor, how did the deer come from?"
"Uh...... Didn't I explain it to you?"
Chen Fan scratched his ears, and then apologized: "Okay, the reindeer I ate yesterday belongs to the migratory animals in the Arctic Circle, from this part of my country to Europe, and even the North American continent." ”
"They are probably land mammals that live near the ice fields in addition to polar bears! Generally speaking, reindeer reach the lower latitudes in late summer and early autumn, which is the northern part of our country to spend the winter.
On the way, the stag compete with each other, and in the end the winner has the right to mate with the doe.
The doe, on the other hand, will stay halfway to replenish nutrition and prepare for pregnancy, and when the flowers bloom and thaw in the spring of the next year, the female reindeer who are a few months pregnant will take the lead as the leader of the herd, and then go all the way north, and finally reach the tundra zone on the edge of the polar region to give birth.
There, there are few natural predators, except for a small number of Arctic wolves and polar bears, large areas of moss resources, and endless daylight.
In late summer and early autumn, when the fawn grows up, it joins its mother in search of food. ”
Chen Fan finished talking about the reindeer survival mode in the wild and nature.
Then, he teased the little loop, and then explained:
"There is another model, and one that has been passed down for thousands of years, and that is human domestication.
Because the reindeer is rich in a lot of fat and high protein, its blood and milk are high-calorie food, some humans near the ice field, such as the Eskimos, the Oroqen people in our country, such the northernmost people, they will raise the reindeer in the form of semi-captivity and half-grazing.
Domestic reindeer are basically the same as wild reindeer, and a large number of free-range reindeer are lost every year and mixed into the wild reindeer herd.
There are also large herds of wild reindeer that suddenly enter the range of humans and become domesticated animals. ”
Chen Fan thought about the massive knowledge in his mind, and he found that these people were really free-range!
Herds of reindeer, at most three or two, put a bell around their necks, and then drove them into the vast forest.
If this is in the densely populated south, let alone herding a herd of reindeer or letting a chicken out, it may become a delicacy in other people's mouths.
Chen Fan explained to the audience the size of the reindeer and his preference for food, which can be regarded as being spared.
But at this time, Chen Fan said that the rise of the reindeer, after talking about the reindeer, came to interest again, ready to talk about its close relatives:
Moose.
"Guys, it's actually about the same cousin population as the reindeer, and that's the moose, and they're the largest of all the deer families. The largest moose weighed more than 1,000 kilograms, and both fan-like horns were nearly 20 kilograms.
There are relatively few moose in our country, and there are domesticated and all wild, but the largest is about 700 kilograms, which is about half a calf.
I haven't eaten moose meat, but I've heard that it's not as good as reindeer meat.
Hehe, I've seen it today, this reindeer meat, it's really fragrant, it's roasted, mixed with shallot sauce, it's better than the flavored yak meat you can eat in Tibet. ”
As he spoke, Chen Fan took a big sip and roasted another piece, which has now become an outcrop of dried meat.
At this time, the sun had risen again, but Chen Fan had already walked down the hill and officially entered a red maple forest.
Overhead, the drone maintained a height of more than ten meters, and Chen Fan's explanation became a little difficult.
However, there is a beautiful scenery in front of him, even if Chen Fan doesn't explain, as long as he goes all the way forward, the audience can see a large piece of beautiful scenery, which can also attract a lot of audiences.
And now, outside Chen Fan's live broadcast room, between the maple trees, Chen Fan put down the river loop and let it go freely.
Chen Fan thought that when he ended this journey anyway and walked to the edge of the forest, Xiaohetao would still stay in the forest.
I don't bother with its life.
But this little thing was thrown down to the ground and walked for a while, and then it ...... Jumped on Chen Fan's shoulder again.
"Ahem, my temper tantrum!"
Chen Fan picked up a small branch and was about to throw it towards the Hetao.
But this little guy chirped and chirped, looking at people with his watery eyes, and all of a sudden, Chen Fan was a little unbearable.
"Hey, what an abrasive goblin!"
Chen Fan threw a pine cone on the ground and let him hold it for himself.
While walking, Chen Fan also wanted to gain something on the road.
When he happened to pass by a large maple tree, Chen Fan found that this super large maple tree actually had a super large tree hole at the root.
And look at that posture, it's not inherently rotten, but artificial, or dug by other animals?
"Could it be the black bear who did it?"
Chen Fan thought about it like this, became vigilant, and then called the drone and lowered the altitude......
