Chapter 605: Winter Animals

Snowmobiles do not have wheels, but are tracked, which can be non-slip and have a top speed of about 30 kilometers per hour.

In normal times, it may feel slow, but when it runs at this speed in the snow, it will have the illusion of racing like a drag race.

The wheels of this snow-clearing vehicle on the road are also tracked, and the red bulky guy is not in a hurry or slow to move forward.

A herd of about 20 bison, covered in frost and snow, is a gang of mischief who rely on animal protection laws to roam around several nearby pastures.

The thick brownish-yellow fur allows the bison to ignore the cold weather.

With upturned corners, weighing more than a ton, and a natural temper, no one dares to anger them easily.

When Pig Slav met these two stunned people, he had to walk around.

When Han Xuan was a child, he saw them kill a strong cougar in the snowy mountain pasture.

The cougar was John Sr.'s pet, named Simba, a name that Han Xuan helped to give.

Simba, who had always been well-behaved, was wandering the prairie that day when he suddenly became interested in sneaking up on a lone little bison.

Not wanting to provoke the bison herd, they caught up with it at a terrifying speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and Simba unfortunately died, and the cowboys tried to save it, but it was too late

The bison are now in the middle of the road, keeping the snowplows out of the way.

The driver lit a cigarette, opened the window and smoked slowly.

You can't compete with these cow-tempered guys, and when the first of the bison is bored, it will naturally leave.

The bodyguards drove slowly past them, and the herd of bison was in constant contact with people, so as long as they didn't provoke them, there would be no problem.

After speeding forward for a while, the vegetable plantation arrived

As soon as Han Xuan got out of the car, he saw a white animal running past the corner of the office building with a fat groundhog in its mouth that was constantly struggling.

The groundhog's face was distorted in pain, and after discovering Han Xuan, he asked him for help pitifully.

The white animal is a rare arctic fox that lives in cold regions near the Arctic Circle.

You can trek 4,600 kilometers in five and a half months, so you can also see arctic foxes in snow-capped places like Glacier National Park, staying on the snow-capped mountains in summer and autumn and only coming down after the weather turns cold.

Although arctic foxes can occasionally be seen in snowy mountain pastures in winter, they are quite rare, and most of them can only be seen with ordinary red foxes.

In addition to the eyes, nose and tail tip, the white fox has white fur that blends perfectly with the snow and is the best camouflage color, and in other seasons it turns gray and brown.

Occasionally, mutant species such as the Shadow Fox, the Arctic Pearl Fox, the Arctic Sapphire Fox, the Arctic Platinum Fox, and the White Arctic Fox are collectively referred to as the "Colored Arctic Fox".

At this time, it also saw Han Xuan, with some blood on his mouth, turned his head to look, and stood there motionless.

After a while, as if to please him, he offered his prey to his mouth, and left the place with four round, fluffy little white foxes.

The arctic fox can withstand the extreme cold of minus 50 degrees Celsius, and often follows the polar bear during the Arctic to pick up some leftovers from its food.

Polar bears generally do not refuse to follow them, and use the arctic fox as a reserve ration, and after fattening, they cannot find food to eat......

Other seasons, there are towering alfalfa grasses in the shade, so not many animals can be seen, but now after the snow, they are all exposed.

Daddy Han Qianshan also likes animals, as long as he doesn't threaten people's habitats like British Columbia wolves, he never deliberately kills, and sometimes a few cattle and sheep are missing, so forget it.

For more than a decade, intelligent animals have known that the snow-capped mountain ranch is safe and loves to run here.

The groundhog was bleeding from his back, but he was lucky to save his life, stood up and bowed his hand to Han Xuan, and walked back with difficulty.

"It's an arctic fox, right?

They are so beautiful, I have seen pictures of them at photo exhibitions. ”

Anya pulled Han Xuan's clothes and said to him.

Han Xuan stepped on the snow and walked forward, reaching out to hold her hand: "Well, there were more than 400 in Glacier National Park a few years ago, but in 1990, there was an inexplicable epidemic of "crazy dancing disease" among foxes.

After this virus invades the nervous system, the sick arctic fox will become extremely excited and excited, unable to control itself, and run around and bump around.

They even dared to attack the dogs and wolves that passed by, and then died after a few months, and the hunters took the dogs around that year to find them, and took the pelts from the carcasses of the arctic foxes to sell.

I'm afraid there are less than fifty arctic foxes left in Montana right now, and I'm lucky enough to see them today. ”

"This fox has appeared several times this year, and every few days he came to the greenhouse to catch marmots, was chased away by our dog, and came back.

I'm going to get medicine and give this fat guy an injection, otherwise the wound will become infected, and the fox has bacteria in his mouth and paws.

Last time the Arctic fox scratched a Labrador, and half a month later the Labrador suddenly went crazy.

It's as horrible as the virus in your "Resident Evil" novel, biting everywhere, but luckily it was chained at the time, and later I had to shoot it, I suspect it was rabies. ”

Dani said, pointing to the chubby groundhog.

In the animal kingdom, including rats, cows, sheep, dogs, cats, etc., rabies virus can be carried.

The most common in the United States is to get sick after being bitten by a bat, and it is estimated that this is the prototype of vampires.

Some vampire bats bite domestic animals, inject a substance similar to an anesthetic, and unknowingly, lie on the animals and suck blood.

Sometimes the calf comes across a large group of vampire bats that like to gather in groups, and even bleeds to death.

It happened once at Gonzalez Ranch a few years ago, and then Gonzalez Jr. angrily found the hole infested with vampire bats and filled it in completely, not thinking that the government would reward him with 5,000 US dollars for it.

Last year, about 200 people died in the West a year because of vampire bats, far more than crocodiles, jaguars and other animals combined, and you can imagine how much people hate these vampire bats that carry a lot of germs......

"Let's isolate it for a while and then wait and see.

If you go crazy in a group of groundhogs, it will affect other groundhogs. ”

Han Xuan said, followed it into a greenhouse, and found that it was full of rabbits, lemmings, marmots, etc.

As soon as it snowed, I asked people to help rescue them, but I didn't think that there were so many now, and I immediately added: "There are other animals"

Dani came in and avoided a pile of feces and sighed, "I've been busy taking care of these guys lately, and I can really pull and eat."

Holly, Holly, are you there?"

A little guy who was sleeping on the floor raised his head at the sound of a voice (to be continued.) )
