Chapter 346: The Crocodile Strikes
As usual in the evening, the mini donkey McDull went out for a stroll, the lake had the tenderest grass, and the fruit was occasionally changed for a change of taste.
The white tiger Obama followed it, rolling on the ground from time to time, rubbing against the trees, leaving his own scent, and his black and white hair was stained with a little grass leaf green, which looked dirty.
It's only a few months old, and it's fun to see anything.
Seeing the crunchy wheat dull eating grass, he stretched out his head and took a bite to taste it, and his immature little face collapsed instantly.
The three horizontal bars of the brain door to both sides clearly show the "three eight", fortunately there is a vertical horizontal through the middle, and it is not very clear to see, otherwise the reputation of the Bengal tiger will be ruined by it.
He sneezed and spit out the blades of grass in his mouth, with an unpalatable look.
McDull is not happy, his own exclusive pasture, seeing that your little brother is good, he will take you to eat, and he even dislikes it.
Hear the sound of water on the surface of the river and squint to see hundreds of ducks swimming on the surface of the lake.
In the distance, a dead tree stump floated slowly, in the direction of the ducks, and when it approached the big white female duck, it quickly opened its mouth, bit the duck, and sank to the bottom of the water.
The surface of the lake rippled as if nothing had happened, and wisps of duck feathers and blood bubbled out
The ducklings were frightened, quacked into a mess and swam to the shore, shaking their fat buttocks one by one, and their hearts palpitated.
McDull and Obama stared blankly at the surface of Lake Rota, looking at each other, both of them looking at fear.
Running home as fast as he could, Obama slipped and fell to the ground, ignoring the pain and chasing McDull.
McDull was frightened and lost half her life, her tongue hanging obliquely on the side of her mouth, and her round eyes were wide and she screamed.
Han Xuan took Fat Ding to drive home from the vegetable planting area. The hazelnut tree, parasitized by the white truffle, would not be transplanted outside for a few days, and Lewis decided to observe it for a while.
He handed the bags of vegetables that Aunt Kelly had picked to Joanna and said, "Help me wash some black tomatoes." ”
Pooh lay on the couch and snorted twice, signaling that he wanted to do the same, and turned his head to stare at the TV, which showed a documentary about polar bears preying on seals.
"Okay. Wait for me to help Ava stir the alfalfa grass, the little chinchilla only likes to eat raisins lately, and is a bit picky eater, so don't feed them snacks. ”
Joanna took the bag and went into the kitchen to place it on the long table, and the voice could be heard from afar.
"Got it. As soon as Han Xuan sat down, McDull and Obama rushed in together, leaving a row of mud footprints behind them, and they hurriedly turned around. Obama grabbed him by the leg of his pants and dragged him out.
"What's the matter, don't bite, bite it. ”
Twisting the ears of the white tiger and holding its head to prevent it from moving, McDull looked crazy, opened his mouth to bite, and let out a fierce low whine in his throat, seeing Han Xuan's puzzled expression. I only hated myself for not being able to speak, and turned around and walked out. Two steps and one turn around, motioning for him to follow.
Han Xuan really didn't want to move, but sensing their anxious mood, he had no choice but to stand up.
Joanna held a fruit bowl with more than a dozen dark purple tomatoes in it and asked him, "You want to go out?" ”
"No, I don't. Put it in the fricer first, I'll eat it later, these two guys have something to do with me"
The villa is not far from the lake.
Walking through the meadow, McDull looked up at the lake, approaching cautiously.
The ducks are far from the shore. All facing Lake Rota, croaking and noisy.
There were a few ducklings still swimming in the lake, and the mother duck was restless, as if she knew that there was something terrible inside, and flapped her wings to get them back.
When Han Xuan saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning, not far away from the duckweed and aquatic plants, there were also many white duck feathers, the original few adult ducks are now missing one, it is estimated that the existing ducklings are more than thirty less than the last time I saw them, guessing that there may be some carnivorous fish coming, such as pike, sturgeon, gar, these are all possible.
Walk to the lake, drive the ducks away, and plan to raise them elsewhere, except for Lake Rota, where there are several other small ponds in the pasture.
At this moment, there was a sudden wave in the water, as if something was stirring at the bottom of the lake, and a string of blisters appeared, and a few duck feathers floated again.
Obama roared in a childish voice, ran back and forth, and found that the stake just now had reappeared, took two steps back in horror, quickly ran to the shore, bit Han Xuan's trouser legs, and retreated away from the lake.
"Come back!" shouted the bodyguards standing up in the birch grove, waving their hands, and when they returned to the pasture, they lurked around, and if they could, they would not appear.
Han Xuan followed his gaze, turned his head to look, and exclaimed, "Crocodile!?"
The thing in the water appeared for a few seconds, and then dived back, but it was indeed a crocodile, more than two meters long, dark all over, and its head was obviously an American alligator!
Montana used to have many of these crocodiles, generally living in warmer southerly regions, and after a large number of kills in the fifties, they were nearly extinct.
In the sixties, the protection of wild alligators in Montana has not been effective, and these alligators love to hunt livestock, and cowboys and ranchers do not like it, and often hunt them secretly.
And there are not many swamps in the vicinity, resulting in a scarce number of alligators, Han Xuan has been in the snow mountain ranch for so many years, and today he saw a crocodile for the first time.
Retreat to safety, the setting sun shines on the water, sending sparkling water streaks, waving to the bodyguards to signal that they are okay, calling Obama and McDull, and running home.
After searching the room, he found that his father and mother were not at home, and after asking Ava to know that they had gone to weed in the lavender field, he patted Pooh and asked him to take him to find it, and turned over and straddled the brown bear's back......
A few minutes later.
"What? You say there are crocodiles in Lake Rota? No kidding, how is that possible. ”
When Father Han heard his son's words, he straightened up and threw away the weeds in his hand, if he didn't get rid of them in the autumn, when the grass seeds were ripe and fell, there would be more weeds next year, and he could only pull them out by hand without herbicides, and found that Han Xuan's expression was serious, and he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You mean it really?!"
"Well, one of the bodyguards also saw that there were a lot fewer ducks, and there were still big female duck feathers on the lake. ”
“…… This is a headache, the pasture livestock like to go to the Rota Lake to drink, easy to be attacked by them, people will also suffer, after a long time those cattle and sheep are overly nervous, easy to get sick, to hurry up and ask Barton them, if they had before, they should know how to deal with it. ”
"Well, Daddy, they have no predators here, they reproduce very quickly, there are more than two million alligators in Florida, and they are already overflowing, and in the summer cowboys will swim in the rivers, and if there are crocodiles, no one will dare to go down. ”
"No, you can't keep them, grab them and send them somewhere else, and don't go near Lake Rota for the time being.
When I got home, I called John and Barton to get them. Han's father took off his gloves and stuffed them into his coat pocket, put his arms around the boy's shoulders and walked back.
More than 20 meters away, Han Xuan's mother saw them leave and shouted loudly: "Didn't you say you want to exercise? Don't be lazy! It's not dark yet!"
"I've got something to do!" )
