Chapter 305: The Great Snapping Turtle
"Qin, Qin, what is this? Is it a turtle? Or is it a crocodile?"
Listening to Mo Becca's stammering voice, Qin Xu also scratched his head a little, and he didn't know if he should continue to pull the fishing line in his hand. Fire and Literature? ??? .?r a n?en`org
That's right, what appeared in the eyes of the three of them was neither the Asian carp that Qin Xu imagined, nor the precious trout. Rather, it is a creature with a body length of nearly one meter, which looks like a crocodile but not a crocodile, and looks like a turtle but not like a turtle.
"Get it, get it. ”
Lin Yue, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke with curiosity.
Hearing this, Qin Xu didn't hesitate, anyway, it had already reached this point, so it was better to get it up and take a look.
Glancing at the creatures in the water, Qin Xu unexpectedly found that the fish hook was not swallowed into his stomach by this guy, but hung on the scale armor on one side.
And, it seems that because of the struggle, it actually wraps around the body.
Seeing this, Qin Xu suddenly wondered, no wonder this guy couldn't escape no matter how hard he struggled. It turned out that he was playing with himself and tied up.
Since this is the case, Qin Xu is no longer polite, 'hehe' sneered a few times, divided by two in three strokes, and got this guy ashore.
Afraid that this guy would escape, Qin Xu deliberately ran a few steps and threw him directly into the newly opened river, then he clapped his hands, looked at the second daughter with a swaggering face, and said with a smile:
"Well, do you see, this is strength. ”
"Cut... ”
In response to him, there were two disdainful boos, and then the second daughter surrounded him with a curious look on her face, and began to look at the creature in front of her.
"Qin, what kind of animal is this? Could it be an alien creature?"
Looking at the creature in front of him that looked like a crocodile, but with a shield on its back and a red tongue that looked like a turtle, he asked Qin Xu curiously.
"This, I don't know, you wait, I'll wash my hands, check it out. ”
Saying that, Qin Xu washed his hands by the water, comforted Xiao Jin, who was still nearby, and asked this guy to wait next to him first, this little thing can't be done, and he should be punished.
I have to say that the Internet is really a good thing, Qin Xu just entered the characteristics of this guy, and a lot of them came out as soon as he searched for it.
I picked one at random, clicked in and took a look, and suddenly understood, looked up at the second daughter with a smile, and said:
"This guy is really a turtle, the scientific name is the real snapping turtle, also known as the big snapping turtle, the snapping turtle, the alligator bite turtle, it only grows in the Mississippi River Basin in North America. It is one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world. ”
Saying that, Qin Xu was amazed, this guy is really a turtle. It doesn't look like it at all.
Qin Xu really didn't have it in this guy, and he could see that there was something that maintained the characteristics of the primitive turtle, the mouth, the back armor shield, and the red tongue were all very peculiar. The upper and lower jaws at the tip of the mouth are hooked, and they are long and like an eagle's beak, and they look extremely sharp.
It is estimated that this guy, with this oval body shape, and those four little short legs are a bit like a turtle, and the others are really like crocodiles.
"Mr. Qin, I remember, this guy seems to be a protected animal, right?"
Hearing Qin Xu report the name of this guy, Lin Yue looked at the guy who looked a little half-dead at the bottom of the pit, and immediately spoke.
"Really? I'll take a look. ”
After speaking, Qin Xu lowered his head and flipped through the mobile phone again, looked at two pages, and really found this news.
According to the report of the World Wildlife Federation, in the ranking of endangered rare creatures in the world, the North American giant snapping turtle has long become one of the important members of the world's endangered wild animals and protection Red Book.
Okay, Qin Xu pursed his lips, really, didn't they all say that Lao Mei's wild animals were not protected? Why did Qin Xu find that most of the animals he encountered seemed to be protected animals?
Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Xu could only complain about the things he had seen before, all of which were nonsense, saying that there was little wildlife protection in the United States.
But in fact, wild boars and wolves are indeed not protected, but some of the really endangered ones are still quite protected.
No, Qin Xu seems to remember that there seems to be a genus of North American wild wolves that are protected.
"So what now?"
As soon as she heard that it was a protected animal, Mobecca was a little anxious, and those of them who lived close to the mountains were quite concerned about protecting animals.
"What else can I do, let it go. ”
Although he was a little helpless, the results of such a half-day effort were in vain, but Qin Xu still decided to let this guy go, it was useless to keep it anyway, looking at it like that, he knew that the meat was not good.
After getting this guy ashore again, the snapping turtle looked a little frightened, and kept trying to recover its big head, but their head was not like a real turtle that could be recovered.
After working hard for a long time, he had no choice but to give up, lying there honestly, letting Qin Xu lead its head and neck, and put it directly into the big lake.
Well?
Suspiciously, he turned his head and looked at these two-legged monsters, and actually let himself go?
A confusion flashed in the big snapping turtle's small eyes with some fear, but then it used all four feet together and swam desperately towards the bottom of the lake.
And it also has a long memory, and next time it can't come to the lake again, it comes out to breathe, and it almost dies inexplicably.
"Haha, look at it, it's so funny. ”
Seeing this big guy paddling on all fours, looking panicked, the three of them couldn't help but laugh kindly.
"By the way, Qin, what about the helper you said, why didn't he come out?"
At this time, Mobeka remembered the unknown helper again, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Well, there. ”
Pointing to the side, Qin Xu beckoned Xiao Jin over and asked him to meet the second daughter.
"Wow, this time koi, such a pure color, how can it be so big?"
After Xiao Jin showed her figure, before Mo Becca had time to express her opinion, Lin Yue on the side shouted, obviously, she was no stranger to this kind of koi.
"What is a koi fish, and is it precious?"
Looking at the two of them with question marks, Mobeka really hadn't heard of any koi, although she also felt that the fish in front of her was very beautiful, but looking at Lin Yue's surprised look, it seemed that it was still very precious.
"The ordinary ones are not very precious, but they are so big and the colors are so bright and pure, and they are estimated to be worth a lot of money. ”
Shaking his head, Lin Yue looked at Qin Xu's eyes at this moment, and he was even more curious, he really didn't know that he had found so many precious animals there, and looking at them, it seemed that they were still very obedient.
Yes, obedient!
Lin Yue looked at the koi in Qin Xu's hands, constantly rubbing, and there was only one thought in his heart.
"Alright, it's almost noon, let's go back too. ”
After arguing with Xiao Jin for a while, Qin Xu shook his clothes that were wet by it, and after looking at the time again, he said to the second daughter.
"Aren't you fishing?
Mobeka looked at her watch, it was only ten o'clock, she still wanted to see how much Qin Xu could catch.
"No, we won't be able to eat all of that, and if we fish again, then why don't we put it." ”
Carrying the big fish in the net, Qin Xu was a little sad, just thinking about betting, he caught so much at once, when will he eat it?
By the way, bet that the bet has not been paid yet?
