Chapter 900: Invasive Alien Species
Ignoring the need to continue eating, he followed the anxious Pooh and walked deep into the cotton field. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bodyguards didn't know why it was so grumpy, but every time the clever Pooh made this expression, it was a sign that something was going on, and its nose could smell danger.
Gabriel and the others pulled out their guns to protect the people around them, and let Han Xuan stay away.
Dry and hard cotton branches, it hurts to scrape on the body.
When he came to pick cotton today, Han Xuan deliberately wore a long-sleeved shirt, because he needed to pick cotton, so he didn't wear gloves, and a few red marks were drawn on his hands.
After walking more than a hundred meters deeper, Pooh stopped.
It stomped its forelimbs, whining, and making animalistic instinctive threatening gestures that seemed to intimidate something.
People came to the place where it was and found a snake more than seven meters long, lying on the ground.
The belly bulged, clearly outlining the appearance of the dwarf sheep, which should have just eaten the sheep for a long time, and had not yet digested it.
Seeing that there were so many people, the giant python subconsciously wanted to escape, but was trampled on by Pooh......
There are many exotic species in California, including this African rock python in front of you.
These pythons, which were once pets, were abandoned or fled on their own, settled in the wild, and multiplied and mated, growing their populations.
Unlike other alien creatures, the African rock python is the largest and most aggressive man-eating python in Africa.
These brutal pythons are huge, hot-tempered, and have no natural predators, and they run rampant in California.
In addition, the Burmese python, a large python native to Southeast Asia, has also invaded California, and the combined number of the two has exceeded 1,000, causing serious damage to California's ecological environment, and some small mammals have been wiped out.
This isn't the first time an African rock python has come to Gambo Sea Ranch.
After discovering that it was it, people calmed down a little, only Anya, who naturally hated snakes, was afraid of this python, grabbed Han Xuan's clothes and hid behind him.
Han Xuan thought in his heart, can this python swallow him and Anya, and after coming to the conclusion of "can't", he calmly comforted her.
Then he said: "No wonder I think the number of dwarf sheep has become less than the last time I came here, and the head of the snake is only so big that it can actually eat dwarf sheep, it's really terrifying." ”
"I've heard that this snake can even eat a whole adult antelope.
Pygmy sheep are small compared to the size of adult antelopes, and it is too easy for African rock pythons to eat them. ”
Jason kicks the African rock python in an attacking stance.
This snake is not venomous, and since the invasion of California, there have been no cases of human attacks, mostly rabbits, mice, marmots, cats, dogs and other animals have suffered.
"If it can swallow an adult antelope, wouldn't it be able to swallow Anya too?"
The girl's face suddenly resented, she was very dissatisfied with Han Xuan's use of herself as an example, and said angrily: "You are not much taller than me, it can also eat you!"
"Stories of anaconda eating people happen a lot, but most of them are proven to be fake news in the end.
When humans encounter them, they will definitely resist and run away, and these pythons are not very fast.
The reason why they were really killed by pythons was mostly suffocation by entanglement, and most of them were children. ”
George's bodyguard continued: "I spent some time in Africa, where there were hunters who specialized in hunting pythons and selling skins.
They took advantage of the python's habit of not eating living creatures, pretending to be a corpse and lying at the mouth of the cave, holding their breath when the snake came out, and when the snake swallowed them halfway, they cut off half of the snake's head with a single sword.
This needs to be cut with the eyes together, otherwise the python will retaliate and die with them, I have seen it with my own eyes.
Of course, this requires making sure that the python starts with the feet first, and if it swallows from the beginning...... Then it's dead.
In Africa, I don't know how many people die on python hunting alone. ”
"It's like sharks eating people.
I don't know how many people who have been shipwrecked have been eaten by sharks, and the dead have no way to tell others the news that they were attacked by sharks.
In the same way, people who have been eaten by pythons have no way to tell others, in short, they are dangerous. ”
Han Xuan was worried about the question "Where should this python go next?"
If you put it back into the wild, the other animals will suffer, and you say, "Catch it and put it in the zoo."
I remember that the African rock python can only grow to more than seven meters, which is already considered a big snake.
Send it to the Forestry Administration, and they will definitely kill the rock python, and California law does not stop people from hunting invasive alien animals, especially if this snake is very harmful. ”
"How about giving it to me as a pet?"
Jason stepped on the head of the big snake with one foot and asked Han Xuan.
In his muscular mind, he thought it would be cool to raise a python of this size.
If it weren't for the fact that some Americans like to breed pythons, these African-native creatures wouldn't have had a chance to harm California's local ecology.
"Raise a python?
Did you want to break up with Alexis after just a few days of dating?"
Han Xuan asked rhetorically.
The Alexis he was talking about was the blind shopkeeper he met in the café on the second floor of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas a few days ago.
According to the big-mouthed Owen, Jason has been chatting with her until late late.
Looking at his often spring-like face, it seems that Jason's spring has really arrived.
Although the female shopkeeper has some physical defects, if it is true love, Han Xuan and the other bodyguards will still sincerely bless him.
Jason couldn't help but blush a little when he heard this.
Together with the French-born bodyguard Gardjanon, he struggled to carry the snake, straightening one end and one tail as much as possible, so as not to give the rock python a chance to entangle himself.
"Don't talk nonsense, Alexis and I are just friends now.
I have to work every day, how can I have time to fall in love......"
"It doesn't matter if you are one of the bodyguards, anyway, there are still many alternates in the company who can't find formal job opportunities.
If you don't fall in love now, do you want to get married after the age of forty?"
Gabriel quipped, not thinking that he was still a single......
Jason finally gave up the idea of raising this python, and found an excuse that it was wild and too vicious.
He refused to admit it because he was afraid that Lady Alexis would not like snakes.
The African rock python, brought back by someone sent by the zoo, will be locked up for an exhibition.
It's true that you lost your freedom, but at least you won't risk being cut off by someone else, and it's a good destination.
After eating the lunch that was already cold, continue picking cotton in the afternoon.
The next day was busy pruning the vines with extra branches.
Early in the morning of the third day, the helicopter parked at the door set off, and Han Xuan was about to go to Silicon Valley, the world's science and technology powerhouse in northern California...... (To be continued.) )
