Chapter 678: Kruger

The temperament of the animals themselves is undoubtedly revealed in nature.

The giraffe gives the impression that an animal with a long neck can eat tall grass and forage in layers with others, but its appearance is still relatively straightforward.

Lin Musen saw them in their home at this moment, and felt that they were already beautiful just standing there.

He really wanted to sit in the reiki kettle space and take a good trip to see the real nature, because of the wilderness activities that he had brought to Oyuan Island for a long time.

One of the biggest ailments of Lin Musen is that he doesn't have much chance to see large animals.

Although this regret has been made up in Malaysia, the animals in Malaysia look more delicate, and even if they are not delicate, they have no way to get up close.

In South Africa's national parks, from the very beginning, one can feel a sense of majesty and immensity.

This national park is half the size of Oyuan Island.

That is to say, it is equal to the same area, the area of the entire central mountain range, and this land is mostly vast wilderness, and the Dayuan Island where the mountains converge, it is a completely different feeling.

The national park they went to was called Kruger National Park.

Kruger National Park was established on 31 May 1926 as the first national park in South Africa.

Kruger National Park is the largest wildlife park in South Africa and is considered by many to be the best international park in South Africa, covering an area of 19,485 square kilometres.

It is located on the borders of Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa, but his administration is in the hands of the Republic of South Africa.

As we all know, there are many wildlife national parks in African bazaars, but the degree of protection varies greatly from place to place.

Perhaps due to the difference in attention, Kruger National Park, as the largest national park, is still relatively high in terms of protection, and the facilities in the park are constantly improving, which is quite international, allowing you to enjoy the comfort of internationalization and also be able to experience the vastness of Africa, in the vast land, you can still see a large number of wild animals, especially large wild animals running back and forth.

Perhaps it was established relatively early, the Kruger National Park has almost maintained its most pristine state, and the national park of Dayuan Island has almost been developed, and it looks no different from the ordinary countryside, there is a big difference.

"For two-legged human animals, we are classified as dangerous animals, so animals move into the bushes or tall grass as early as they see us, so it is impossible or very rare to find so many animals on two legs and get close to them. ”

When they arrived in the local area, a group of people naturally invited a local tour guide, and the local tour guide also had a paperwork connection with the wilderness, so the standard seemed to be much higher than that of the average tour guide.

At least he speaks fluent Chinese, not English, so that everyone is relieved, although almost everyone knows a little foreign language, but because there is no long-term application, so most people's foreign language is still relatively not able to use very fluent, if you listen to it, you may pause for two or three minutes to be able to react, what you are talking about.

But if you talk continuously, he will have a headache, and it will take him a minute to tell what you mean.

What's more, when introducing wild animals, there are a lot of proper nouns, and for ordinary people, there is relatively little understanding of the proper nouns of wild animals, unless they are immersed in it every day.

Not all of these people are experts, some of them are just some rich entrepreneurs who have the opportunity to come out.

Having a good guide is very important for this trip.

What is a piece of grass, a tree, or even an animal you see?

Maybe some people know, but more people actually don't know everything about him, the greatest joy of the process of travel is to know more things in the world.

If a person is not curious, he can catch up with this world, then this world is only black and white for him, and only everything in the world can fill this color.

What happens to their presence? What does it do to affect everything around them? What are they doing? What does this move convey? What does it matter to people? Only by understanding all of this will people realize what nature travel is really about.

During the trip, the guide explained a lot of animal knowledge to Lin Musen, treating them as ordinary tourists, not experts from the wilderness.

In fact, if they were experts, they would have more communication with the guide, but it would not affect all of the guide's communication, and in every visit, there will always be most things that are unfamiliar to people, even those who are familiar with the wilderness.

The environment of each place has its own characteristics, and it is only through local introductions that you can learn more about it.

"We have to look for animals, in fact, there are certain methods, the circular footprints of elephants, the three-toed footprints of rhinoceros and the four-finger footprints of hippos......"

"Look at the dung, and the dung tells us what kind of animal it is. ”

"It's really different from my feces, how do you look at animals with feces?"

"The elephant's droppings are very large, and there is a lot of undigested grass in them.

The giraffe's feces are small, like chocolate beans, because the giraffe has several stomachs, and the only thing he eats has to ruminate, so there is no grass residue in its feces, which is very tight and not easy to break. And because there are several bits, it is also easy to store food, even if there is no food to eat for a long time, his body can still provide nutrients. ”

"Also, don't think that all grass can be burned, even if some plants are dropped, they can't be used as fuel, and burning food will be poisoned. ”

"Oh my God, it's really a matter of knowledge, when I used to cut down the trees in my house, I burned them directly, or I would just pile them next to them and use them for barbecue. ”

This knowledge has caused a lot of discussion, if it is a person within the Wilderness Association, most of the knowledge is relatively rich, this knowledge can be known for most of the time, not to mention anything else, the black tree that is very common on the streets of Dayuan Island is a thing that cannot be touched and burned, but before the mechanization, the black tree was a good thing with a treasure all over its body, and now it can only be used as an ornamental tree, and all its functions have almost been replaced.

From Johannesburg from the northeast, that is, the south gate of the park, into the car about six to seven hours, the area of the park is very large, a total of nine entrances and exits can not be effectively visited in a short period of time, unless you stay in it for a few days, this time Lin Musen they have accommodation planning in it, and most of the accommodation planning, is not a fixed point, there are twelve camps, they stay in different camps every day.

The camp can provide tourists with rest, accommodation, supplies, and even refueling the car, but only cash can be paid, so the leader of the group has already changed enough cash and brought it with him, and it doesn't matter if others don't have cash, just exchange money with the camp leader.

Some of the luxury accommodations in it are privately run, after coming for a few days, Lin Musen thought a little about the location of luxury accommodation to stay, and traveled in this place for a few more days, he found that this place made his whole mind open-minded, although this place is very desolate, but the aura is very rich, he can absorb enough aura in this place.

However, the aura of this place is very weird, some places are very desolate, and some places are very rich, and they are not dense, which may have something to do with the very different environment of this place.

"This map on the wall is very practical, everyone has seen where they are, what animals are marked on the map, even if the text is not understood, but compared to the road and the water, you can probably find the animals you want to see. ”

"From this map, lions and leopards seem to be the least visible, but with this map, we have a much higher chance of finding the animals we want to see, but from yesterday's and today's distribution maps, they don't always move in the same area. ”

"There seems to be a wildlife museum in the camp, don't need money, should we go in and have a look? I don't need money, I don't have too many coins to change this place, and it's troublesome to find the team leader to change it." ”

"How can you go to a country without exchanging local money?"

"Because I want to say that South Africa is also a country with a developed economy, that, like us, you should be able to use your credit card everywhere, so we are ready to use our credit card everywhere. ”

"There doesn't seem to be any credit card equipment in the national park, and everything is done in cash. ”

"Anyway, the team leader has already thought about us, we don't have to worry too much, when the time comes, the cash will be changed, and when the time comes, we will have to change back, and we will lose a sum of money, how much money do we need now, just exchange it for cash with him." It seems that he already knows where we will use the money, so the money has been prepared for a long time, not to mention that he seems to be able to change it at any time, after all, he is familiar with this place. I also had some dollars on me, not a big dollar. ”

Lin Musen also belongs to young people, and he is very popular with a few young girls, so a few young girls asked Lin Musen to lead them to the Museum of Zoology.

In a few days of activities, they have found that some of the team is more familiar with each other, and they can help the guide in many things, Lin Musen is also one of them, and he is very young and kind, so they often ask Lin Musen if there are any special good skin care products that can keep his skin so good.

What's more, Lin Musen is also very rich in field knowledge.

These young people also have a great enthusiasm for the wild, and Lin Musen feels that they can be cultivated well, so it can be said that they have to answer all questions.

"A wildlife museum that focuses on elephants, and in this place you can see the complete skeleton of the elephant, and if you take it back and sell it, these two tusks can sell for a very high price. ”

"These aren't elephant bones, you see this is obviously a skull, big and small, I don't know whose bones this bone is. ”

"Isn't there a picture next to it?"

"Even if there are pictures, we can't read them......"

"Let me introduce you to you!"

In the eyes of ordinary people, the most valuable things in the park are ivory and rhinoceros horn, and there are a lot of ivory in the museum, but the rhinoceros horn is not seen.

From the introduction, it can be seen that the ethnic composition of elephants is also very complex, different elephant groups have different distribution zones, and their appearance is slightly different.

The camp is protected by a reinforced power grid around the perimeter of the camp, and there are heavily armed guards guarding it 24 hours a day, because this camp stands in the Kruger National Park, not that it is surrounded by wild animals, and if there is no armed ammunition to protect it, maybe any group of wild animals will break in, and the people inside will suffer.

It is estimated that the situation is the same in every wild camp here, because there is absolute security in the camp, and beyond the gate is another world, and this event is the world of wild animals, that is, he implements the law of the jungle, if there are no guns, humans are weak animals in this world.

When I got out of the museum, I saw a smoky place, and I asked the people in the camp, it turned out that this place was a barbecue restaurant, not a restaurant.

They ran to ask the team leader if they could come to this place for a barbecue, and did they have any prepared materials?

"We're going to have a barbecue there tonight, and the meat is still thawing!

"Okay, okay, let's help. ”

The little girls were very enthusiastic, and the other two young women were already helping out. They had already seen that the team leader had prepared a lot of food, and they had asked the team leader what he was going to do, so they took the initiative to help.

Speaking of which, this team leader is also a volunteer, and by the way, he is also here to play, but it's not true, the team leader they hired. Like that teacher, he has a passion for nature and hopes that more people can get in touch with nature, care for nature, and love nature.

Only more people love this nature, and form a force, in order to make the world better preserved, only one or two people love nature, but only weak, not understood by the people around them, people will not know how important it is to love nature, most people live in this world, are busy with their own needs to live more passive, not that they do not care about the things around them, but in their knowledge and interpersonal relationships have not been exposed to this, and they are naturally excluded.

What's more, when it comes to protecting animals, it seems that people have to make money, but people don't realize that in fact, their own care and support can also promote the actions of people who really have money and the power to act. I want to talk about "Global Greenland Tycoon" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
