Chen Hu was riding on horseback, and he had already activated his eagle eye skills, and his eyes kept scanning the sky around him, looking for the figure of the vulture.

In the second live broadcast room, little Elle is already on video, but at the moment it is a guaranteed panda toy, falling asleep on the sofa, and the quiet picture looks like a character in a comic.

's mother, Monica, sat on the other side and read fashion magazines, she is a fashion designer, so she pays more attention to this aspect, but the popularity of the betta live broadcast room has returned to more than one million.

But the meow broadcast didn't drop much, and the barrage in the betta live broadcast room was rolling rapidly at this moment.

"Yifeng Bao: I really didn't expect that Master Hu would recognize a goddaughter, and she is a doll. ”

"Ancient Dirt: In a way, is this a happy father?"

"No one loves it: on the first and second floors, can you see the meow over there?"

"Ancient pollution: Of course you can, brother two mobile phones, directly double open, just so rich, just so capricious!"

"Guzheng & Pipa: Double +1"

"Double Open +10086"

……

Seeing the barrage, Chen Hu smiled, and when more and more live broadcast platforms are opened in the future, see if you have so many mobile phones.

At this moment, Chen Hu rode a zebra all the way north, while Isabel drove an off-road vehicle and followed closely behind, trying to find the vulture, but it would take a little time.

After about half an hour, Chen Hu found a lot of birds, including some birds of prey, but they were not vultures after all, fortunately, there was enough time, as long as he continued to search, he would always find them.

After a while, Chen Hu, who was in the state of eagle eyes, finally found a giant bird soaring in the sky, although it was a distance of one or two kilometers, he could still see that it was a black feather, the neck feathers were very sparse, and the head was even bare.

This giant bird of prey with a wingspan of three meters is none other than a vulture!

Its size is one-third larger than the African hyena, of course, Chen Hu also knows very well that even the vulture is not the largest bird of prey, a large vulture endemic to North America, with a wingspan of even four meters, can easily catch human children into the sky.

However, that kind of big vulture is also a scavenging animal, and in most cases, it still does not take the initiative to hunt.

After Chen Hu found the vulture in the sky, he immediately rode his horse to track it down, and at the same time gestured to Isabel who was driving behind him, indicating that he had found the research target.

Next, it's time to track.

Vultures mostly eat the carcasses of mammals, and mammals usually gather together when resting on plains or meadows, so when vultures learn this pattern, they pay special attention to animals or carcasses lying alone on the ground.

In addition, vultures have very strong flying ability, gliding in the air is almost physically exertional, once they find dead animal carcasses on the ground, vultures will swoop over at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

And now, the vulture in the air is obviously still foraging, Chen Hu and Isabel can only track it on the ground, fortunately, the vulture is not flying fast at the moment, they can still keep up.

More than ten minutes later, the vulture in the sky seemed to have discovered something, and then quickly landed, Chen Hu and Isabel saw this, immediately chased after it, and when they came to more than two hundred meters away, they immediately found a skeletal African bison lying on the grass.

It seemed that it had died of illness, and the vulture, which was the first to find the carcass, landed more than ten meters away from the bison carcass, but did not immediately pounce.

At this moment, Chen Hu and Isabel were already quietly observing from a distance, only to see the vulture, but they were very alert, standing not far from the corpse and quietly observing.

Seeing this, Isabel immediately took a picture with a DSLR camera, and at the same time turned on the recorder and said:

"Vultures, scavenging birds of prey, they do not eat the carcass of an animal as soon as they find it, but they observe and test it for a while, to see from close range whether the other's belly is undulating, whether the eyes are turning, and if there is no movement at all, the vultures will quietly walk towards each other. ”

As he spoke, the vulture found that the bison's carcass was motionless, and finally staggered towards the bison, while his neck swayed up and down, making a cooing sound

Seeing this, Isabel couldn't help but smile and said again:

At this time, the vulture is still hesitant, not only eager to do it, but also afraid of being deceived and plotted, so it will make a 'goo' sound, and even try to peck at the corpse in its mouth to ensure safety. ”

At this moment, millions of tourists in the live broadcast room, including little Ellie who had just woken up, all opened their eyes wide, and after seeing the vulture crying, seeing that the other party did not react, they finally pecked the corpse with their mouths, but immediately jumped and ran away.

The picture of the vulture jumping and running was very funny, and immediately caused countless laughs, and even little Elle giggled, just thinking that the vulture's guts were too small, right?

Then, after several attempts, the vulture finally determined that the African bison was dead, immediately pounced, tore the bison's belly with its sharp beak, and began to gobble it up.

Chen Hu watched the whole process, but he didn't feel that the vulture was timid, but experienced, if he wanted to survive on this land, he had to learn to be careful, otherwise he would be confused like the African hyena.

After the vulture took its first bite of food, it seemed to turn on a signal, and the smell of rotting corpses quickly drifted away, and after a while, several crows flew over and joined the feast.

Seeing this, Chen Hu knew that he didn't need to look for spotted hyenas, and believed that it wouldn't be long before the group of spotted hyenas would take the initiative to find here, and at this time, little Ellie, who was on video, asked:

"Daddy, why are vultures bald?"

Forehead...... Chen Hu obviously didn't know this question, but fortunately, the vulture was the object of Isabel's research, so he asked:

"Dr. Isha, why are vultures bald?"

Hearing Chen Hu's inquiry, as a doctor of zoology, Isabel immediately gave a professional answer.

"As a result of evolution, vultures have to stick their heads into dead animals to eat, and if they have feathers on their heads, dirt will accumulate on their heads, causing fungal infections, etc., so they gradually become bald. ”

So that's the case, Chen Hu nodded, and the tourists in the live broadcast room also felt that they had grown knowledge, but Xiao Ellie's next sentence made the live broadcast room laugh.

"Daddy, many uncles are also bald, could this be the reason?"

Chen Hu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then said:

"Probably. ”

When Isabel heard this, she felt incomprehensible, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Hu.
