Soon after walking, the group saw a group of hippos, the "king of the swamp", making a path in the river, muddy and muddy water and dung together to form a silt yellow river, and then rolling in it with impunity. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This vegan is second only to elephants and can weigh up to three tons, making it the second largest continental mammal in the world. Such a large body almost resembled a tent, and compared to its four thick short legs and short tail, it looked ridiculous.

But for humans, such a large size is obviously extremely terrifying.

Chen Ergou lowered his voice and introduced: "Audience friends: hippopotamus!"

"Have you ever seen an animal that eats grass like a lawnmower? ”

"There are not many natural predators of hippos, but it is very insecure on land, and the seemingly thick stratum corneum skin is actually a waterproof layer, which is easy to be burned by the sun, so it lives underwater all year round. ”

Needless to say, the live broadcast room was already full of emotion-

"What an exaggerated picture, last time I just watched the hippopotamus from afar, but this time it was much more exciting. ”

"Thank you, Master Dog, so that my kind of house can also appreciate the charm of Africa up close. ”

"Thank you, thank you. ”

"Be careful, don't get too close. ”

Many viewers watched hippos graze for the first time, with their mouths wide open and like a lawn mower running over a grass path, leaving a clean groove.

It's really everywhere they go, not a single inch of grass grows, and they even eat up the grass roots.

God knows how much grass is eaten in a day with such a huge size.

But this hippopotamus family, with a herd of fifteen heads, also occupies a considerable territory.

Naturally, it also blocks the way of the people, and if you want to pass, unless you take a detour through the dense forest, you can cross over their territory.

When they approached, they saw a huge male hippopotamus chrysanthemum pulling out feces from the back, and then the little short tail swept the feces around like a broom, which was very unhygienic.

Chen Ergou smiled: "This male hippopotamus must be the patriarch of this hippopotamus family, he is sweeping away the feces with his tail, and occupying his territory with the smell of feces." It's also a way to socialize. ”

"Other female hippos who want to express their admiration for the male hippopotamus will also point a chrysanthemum at him and wag her short tail at him. It looks like it's courtship, but it's just an expression of emotion. The little hippos will come and kiss him, and they are his children. In the entire hippopotamus herd, only the male hippo patriarch has the right to mate, and the other female hippos are its harem or children. ”

"6666, a dirty picture. ”

"It's still animals free and easy, offering chrysanthemums anytime and anywhere, and having such a huge harem. ”

"You might as well be reincarnated as a hippopotamus. ”

Seeing him talking to himself alone, Jenny came over and said dissatisfiedly: "Chen, we don't understand what you're saying. ”

Chen Ergou smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just introducing the habits of hippos to my audience." It's my job. Fortunately, there are also a lot of Western viewers in my live broadcast room, so next time I introduce it in English, let the Chinese audience read the translated subtitles for a while. ”

The audience was instantly dissatisfied, and used angry facial expressions to express their protest like him.

Baker pulled a pocket-sized hand-held camera from his backpack and said, "It's not a lot of opportunities to see hippopotamus colonies up close. Look, that's a wandering male hippopotamus invading the family's territory, will they fight?"

"Chen, I want to shoot some material, is that okay?"

Chen Ergou hesitated slightly, but still agreed.

Now there is still more time, and his program needs to be expanded, "Yes, but for safety reasons, please let me see what is in your backpack first?"

The trio had no objections.

Then tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room knew how simple the things Chen Ergou brought on each trip to the wilderness were.

Because now looking at these travelers' big backpacks, it's like coming on vacation:

Hiking boots, hats, gloves, raincoats, compasses, maps, knives, lighters (water), headlamps (flashlights), towels, emergency medicines, loud whistles, food jars (empty, what are you still left for), water bottles, sleeping bags, tents, moisture-proof mats, ropes, harnesses, GPS (waste, GPS in the jungle), clothes, cameras, mobile phones (still useless), notepads, etc., you name it, and even some stoves, cutlery, folding chairs.

This is just a men's backpack, the lady's backpack is even more exaggerated, with makeup, underwear, mirrors, sunscreen, and so on.

"The fire is useless, it has rained several times in the past few days, and we haven't lit the fire for two days. There's still a little bit of electricity in the flashlight. We've discarded a lot of things, and that's all that's left now. Jenny said with a look of regret, it was too little.

Chen Ergou was speechless for a long time, pinched his chin and said, "There are some things that need to be cleaned up, so that the weight can be lightened." It will also be much easier if you need to escape in case of danger. ”

Baker worried, "I knew it was heavy, and I thought about throwing it away, but they helped us a lot...... Does it really need to be like this? ”

Chen Ergou gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, professor, leave it all to me!"

"A chef who makes his companions hungry is not a good cook. It's time for you guys to lose weight. ”

Perhaps it is his strength and self-confidence that give everyone a sense of security.

Of course, the charm bonus attached to that cool face also helps him achieve social priority all the time.

The two students looked at the professor, and Baker shrugged and smiled, "Okay, Mr. Chef, we can only trust you." ”

Then Chen Ergou made a big discard, of course, not everywhere, and spent a lot of effort to bury it in the ground.

After seeing that he had discarded all his lighters, compasses, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, clothes, and spare hiking boots, the three of them finally began to ache. Including when she threw away her lotion and underwear, Jenny had a look of wanting to say something, and the audience in the live broadcast room laughed.

Fortunately, Chen Ergou didn't do too much, and left tents for a few people.

Lost a lot of things that seemed to be indispensable, but he kept the stove, "Let's travel lightly, which of you has the worst physical strength, I can exchange backpacks with him." ”

"Thank you Chen, please help the professor, he is tired. ”

Baker shook his head and waved his hand, "Let's help Jenny, I feel much better." Don't think I'm old, I exercise regularly, and my physical strength is at least stronger than that of a lady. ”

Chen Ergou didn't care about them shirking and shirking, without the slightest hesitation, he put some heavier things into Jenny's backpack alone, and then exchanged his backpack with her. "Hippos can run up to 30 miles per hour on land, but their legs are so short that they have to take a detour when they encounter obstacles," he said. If you need to escape, remember to jump over obstacles to move forward, OK?"

"We know, no problem. ”

After putting their new backpacks back on, all three had the feeling of having taken off a thick layer of carapace. Jenny, in particular, exaggeratedly shouted, "Oh my God, Chen." Did you come to the wilderness empty-handed? I only see one in your backpack...... Is this a parachute? I feel like I'm so light that I can fly. ”

"That's a delusion, miss. ”

Chen Ergou said: "You can shoot, remember to be careful." You're all zoologists, so I don't need to say anything about what you shouldn't provoke. ”

"No problem. ”

The three of them nodded and happily approached to shoot.

Chen Ergou naturally did not forget to explain to his audience, "Friends, a rare hippopotamus battle scene. ”

This male hippopotamus dared to invade the territory of the "patriarch" in search of a mate, and the patriarch naturally unceremoniously opened his mouth wide to attack. The huge hippopotamus opened its mouth wide as if it were a burrow that had suddenly opened up more than a meter wide and more than a meter deep.

It looked like it was yawning, but no one could ignore its long molars.

The front four canine teeth alone are more than a foot long, and even the teeth of many elephants are not that long.

"The last time I came down from a waterfall and I was in a hurry to make a raft, I didn't have time to let everyone have a good look at this typical representative animal of Africa, and now I can make up for it. ”

"In fact, the bite force of the hippopotamus is very amazing, and it can even bite through metal, which is better than that of crocodiles. If I had drifted directly through hippos' territory on a raft, they would have bitten through the raft and even lifted it up. Their teeth never stop growing, they just keep molaring their upper molars. This kind of tooth treats other hippos and naturally has the same attack power. ”

The dog is very funny with the soundtrack of "Gladiator", and it feels even more atmospheric.

Two three-ton guys fighting in a river bay is much more spectacular than WWE.

The body thumped, the water splashed all over the sky, and the attack was accompanied by a huge roar, which was deafening.

Once bitten it is a scar. Two huge strong men fight each other, and when one loses, they are forced to run around in the hippopotamus. The hippopotamus patriarch behind him was still in hot pursuit. The scene was boiling, and the entire hippopotamus was stirred.

During this time, Rengar also comfortably found a tree trunk and lay on it overlooking the living beings.

The blue-green eyes looked wild, and the fur was as dazzling as black gold, which in the darkness of the jungle could help it be more invisible. There are also some marks on the forehead that belong to the leopard race, those very shallow circles and spots, but these small spots also disappear with age.

Unlike adult leopards, these spots become more and more visible as they grow.

But when Rengar grows up, the beard on both sides of his mouth will grow long, and the longer he gets, the harder it gets. The fangs and claws will also become more aggressive, and Chen Ergou is looking forward to this.

It just lay on the tree, lazy and elegant.

This is the posture of a jungle hunting king, not being thrown into the river like a dog thrown by Chen Ergou and jumping up to play with him.

Countless viewers were impressed by its inadvertent demeanor, no matter what the woman was, there was nothing she didn't like. In an instant, another fan was pulled.

Chen Ergou saw it in his eyes and didn't care about it.

I don't know who shouted in the live broadcast room, "Rengar's Weibo has been opened." ”

Immediately, a large number of fans ran to search, a Weibo named "Rengar", the image is Black Panther, and V has been added. Immediately, the number of followers broke through from zero to 10,000, which is extremely exaggerated!

This is naturally Sukiki's masterpiece.

At this time, the battle in the river lasted for several minutes, and the audience watched it with relish.

Baker said, "Look, the invaders are retreating. ”

The invading male hippopotamus retreated underwater, and Chen Ergou dropped the camera into the water to shoot, and schools of fish could be seen swimming around the hippopotamus. The intruder kept his mouth shut, to show that he had relented, to tell the angry patriarch to stop attacking him again.

Even animals know the vicious cycle that follows an injury.

It's a pity that the patriarch was still angry, and he seemed to be approaching plainly, but suddenly he suddenly jumped up and accelerated and rushed over. The intimidation tactics worked, and the invaders fled.

"It's a pity that we can't photograph the underwater scene. Baker was excited, still teaching the two students, and said, "In general, areas with hippos have huge schools of fish. They live underwater for a longer period of time, and the underwater scenery must be more beautiful. ”

Anthony retracted his camera like a baby, "Why is that, Professor?"

Baker didn't answer directly, and suddenly asked Chen Ergou, "Chen, do you know?"

Chen Ergou smiled: "I know a little." All I know is that hippos need to take good care of their heavy skin, and that there will be tentacle whitefish and fine-scaled fish to clean it off underwater. Its manure also fertilizes the river water. ”

"Is that right, Professor?" asked Jenny, impatiently.

Baker laughed, "That's right. Animals have their place in nature, and hippos are no exception, and they respond by spraying feces into the river. Their manure is an important source of fertilizer for the river. Hippos are herbivores and their droppings are never useless, eating a lot of grass and excreting a lot of their excrements every day, which provides vital organic matter for the river ecosystem. This makes the whole ecosystem have such a variety of rich animal and plant forms. Wherever there is a hippos, there are many fish. ”

Suddenly, compassion was compassionate to humanity: "Yet human beings occupy the top of the food chain, taking too much and giving little to nature, so that they cause too much destruction and pollution. If no one wants to protect them, I can't imagine what it will be like in the future. ”

His two students were apparently too much of Amway's reply, and immediately showed a virgin expression.

Chen Ergou also nodded silently, this is the view of old scholars, and they are more concerned about ecological balance. And as a hunter, he pays more attention to animal weaknesses and living habits.

As for ecological conservation, he didn't care about that before. The more you get in touch, the more you know, and listening to the old professor's words can be regarded as a lot of benefits.

Jenny laughed, "I'd like to know what size of the hippopotamus would have to be if they used lipstick." As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ergou.

The humor of the Americans, but unfortunately Chen Ergou was not cold, and Jenny was instantly disappointed.

"I don't know what size it is, but I'm sure red is the right color. Anthony couldn't bear to be snubbed by his goddess, and echoed her with a smile: "It's red now, like blood." Professor, is that blood?"

Old Baker laughed, "It's just sweat, kid." ”

"Don't look at their skin, which is five centimeters thick and can be easily burned by the sun. They spend 18 hours of the day underwater, and if they need to get out of the river, it's like humans go to the tropics and apply sunscreen. They usually wrap themselves in a layer of mud, and those cracked skins are actually reserved for mud. This is why hippos like to carve out mud pools in swamps. ”

Several birds also landed on the back of the hippopotamus, and they were eating the small insects on the hippopotamus's back.

Of course, it's also looking in the cracks of the wrinkled skin. river

Horses never drive away birds, even if they fly into the mouth of a hippopotamus and find food between their teeth.

This is the way animals behave.

The audience in the live broadcast room didn't have much affection for the three guys who suddenly broke into the camera at first, after all, there was another person who shot Chen Ergou. At this time, he gradually accepted that no matter whether he was sincere or not, or what chain of interests was behind it, at least someone was protecting these animals. There are too few people willing to do that now.

…… It's just that I suddenly have to watch subtitle translation, which is a little unaccustomed.

Baker said in a high-spirited manner, "I'm going to document this location." When I returned, I had to apply for funding to set up a long-term observation site for hippos. ”

The old guy's morale was not bad, but Chen Ergou couldn't stay here longer, so he interrupted him and said, "It's time for us to go, the crocodile has gone into the water." ”

"Huh?"

It turned out that this river channel did not stop there, and several large crocodiles were drilled out of the woodland on the bank, the largest one was more than four meters long. Although it is much smaller than the king crocodile encountered in the Congo River, it is not easy to get along with.

And they've been standing here for so long that they've caught the attention of the hippos. The mother hippos opened their mouths wide from afar and demonstrated towards them. This is the calf guard protecting the cubs and never allowing any creature to get close.

"Sometimes hippos and crocodiles fight together, and the hippos drive people into the water, and then the crocodiles attack. But once the crocodile enters the range of hippo cubs, it can also cause attacks. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two female hippos suddenly burst out of the nearby water, and it turned out that they had already dived so close.

The fat body rushed to the shore and rushed towards everyone.

The three of them immediately panicked, and Jenny exclaimed, "They are so bulky, they probably won't catch up with us." ”

Chen Ergou's face was solemn, and he said sharply: "Don't be lucky, don't forget to listen to my command!" Now run with me immediately, Anthony, I will open the way behind your palace, I will jump immediately if I tell you to jump, don't fall behind." ”

He doesn't like to be a babysitter, because the most annoying thing is not to listen to commands and be self-righteous!

But we can't ignore these people and let them die in the wilderness.

The scene instantly became noisy, but fortunately, Chen Ergou was not chaotic in the face of danger, showing his command skills that he had never shown before, leading everyone all the way across the bushes and vines and woodlands, and gradually broke away from the pursuit of hippos.

When we finally crossed a forest, the scene ahead suddenly opened up.

The scene in front of me is simply entering another world, and people are stunned to see.
