The so-called swamp is not the swamp that everyone habitually thinks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone's understanding of the swamp comes from texts or movies and television.

It's not so much a swamp as a mud pit.

"As you can see, this is a forest swamp transformed by forests, and the characteristics of the swamp are the special topography of the wet ground and a large area of bare water formed by the constant wetting of the ground and underground soil. ”

"Actually, as long as you see clearly, the possibility of getting stuck in the mud is not very high. ”

"First of all, there is a reason for the formation of silt, and if there is not a lot of water, how can there be silt? That is, the silt actually comes from the bottom of the water and is exposed in the water-poor period, and it is impossible to tell the difference between the plants and mosses. If you want to step on the bare mud like a tidal flat, you are dead, and the water will not save you. ”

It's the rainy season, the water level is rising, and most of the mud that is simply impassable is back under the water.

However, the difficulty of walking here comes more from the flora and fauna.

First of all, this is the forest, there are tall trees and shrubs, plus the water level changes, so the shrubs here are taller than people and some are shorter than people.

Secondly, each pond is not as independent as it seems at first glance, and if it is connected, then there may be electric eels.

Third, crocodiles often make long treks to a second waterhole after eating food from a separate waterhole, not to mention the simplicity of this migration over a large area of wet land. That is, even if it is a freestanding waterhole, it is possible that there is a crocodile hidden.

Fang Hong was here, and he saw the little anteater crawling on the tree, the armadillo, and the capybara.

When capybaras appear, it means that the neighborhood is barely safe.

The fact that the traces of the forest worm are not revealed, but that does not mean that there are none, and the forest worm is accustomed to completely hiding the water swimming, rather than swimming with its head out like a human.

"Speaking of caimans, I want to warn everyone, don't raise crocodiles......"

"Wow!" the water parted, and a two-meter-long crocodile rushed out of the water.

However, when it reached land, it immediately turned around and retracted into the water.

"Paralysis, halfway through the conversation, startled me. ”

"Caiman, this head is about two meters, and it is very timid. ”

The caiman has a low IQ, but it is not particularly low, and it can clearly distinguish between mammals and herbivorous mammals.

In this forest, its status is not so high.

"Damn, Brother Gun, this crocodile rushed out of the water at once, and then retracted again. ”

Fang Hong explained: "The crocodile's eyesight is not fixed, it has two layers of eyelids, and when it is underwater, its eyesight is very poor, and it can't see clearly, it can only judge what is happening on land, but it can't see what it is." When they arrived on land, their eyesight was the same as that of humans, so the first time they saw me, they were stunned. Most of the crocodiles in the world are small crocodiles, and small crocodiles are not interested in humans, but you still have to be careful, don't provoke it, it won't scare me, but if you provoke it, it won't weigh whether to bite or not. ”

In recent years, there have been enough people raising all kinds of poisonous insects in China, and I don't know why there is a trend of raising South American animals. The first is the finger monkey among the tree monkeys, which are absolutely protected animals, and it is illegal to raise them. The second is crocodiles, crocodiles like caimans, although they are not big, but they will grow to more than two meters after raising them for a long time. Kill your own pets, reluctantly. If you sell it, it's illegal. Therefore, recently, I often hear about the news of crocodiles found in urban waters or parks and meadows. ”

"You said that you would throw away a kitten and a puppy, but if you raise a crocodile and throw it away, why don't you raise a brown bear and release it?"

In the name of love, many people are doing iniquity.

Release, is that release? Alien species, casually released into the wild or even in the city, what is the release?

"The last time I saw in the news, a stupid fork released 20 king cobras into the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, suggesting a new law to treat the release of alien species as an attempted murder. ”

"Just thinking about it, my scalp is numb, and I also released crocodiles, my Nima doesn't have the reaction of Brother Gun. ”

Fang Hong was embarrassed, because just before he could react, the crocodile turned around first.

"Let's not talk about that, let's continue to talk about crocodiles, although they are separated by two or three meters, they still look quite scary. Fang Hong: "Of course, crocodile's eyelids protect the eyeballs, but sometimes this mechanism can also bring disaster to them. In the next state of this state, there is a jaguar that has been studied by scientists. The year before, the jaguar was drinking by the river when he was bitten by a caiman and went blind in his left eye. Since then, the jaguar's recipe has changed, and for three years, all caimans in the jaguar's range have been slaughtered. ”

"As I've said before, tigers are very brutal creatures, and they are rare creatures that hunt when they are full. The jaguar concentrates the characteristics of a leopard and a tiger, on the one hand very cautious, and on the other hand also has a violent heart. The jaguar pounced into the river twice in three days to hunt caimans without needing to eat. It is a typical retaliatory behavior that is very rare in the whole feline. ”

"Jaguars are such dicks. ”

"The crocodile is probably a deified creature, in fact, only a small number of crocodiles, such as bay crocodiles, black caimans, saltwater crocodiles, and Nile crocodiles, will actively attack human hunting behavior. The other crocodiles are lizards that live in the water. ”

The so-called hunting behavior is to treat people as prey, and the situation of anger does not count, the dog jumps the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites in a hurry.

"There are too many crocodiles in this forest swamp, you look there. Following the direction pointed by Fang Hong, many people found crocodiles. ”

For many mammals, it's a piece of dead wood that floats, but the human eye is far more sensitive to color than any other mammal. Most mammals are colorblind and can only distinguish between black and white, in other words, they basically have no ability to distinguish colors, only the intensity of light.

In this case, it is difficult for them to see the crocodile.

As for humans, as long as they are not careless, they can generally tell the difference between crocodiles and dead wood.

This is also the reason why tigers and other creatures need to be ambushed and hunted in protective colors, but they only have stripes on their bodies, and they are still colors that do not match the environment, because their prey cannot distinguish the color.

"Caimans like to thrive in slow currents with sand and silt, so there are plenty of caimans here. Caimans are also the easiest crocodiles in the world to farm, and compared to them, the Chinese alligator is less than a thousandth of their ability to reproduce. Because of their ease of farming, 75% of the world's crocodile products are supplied by caimans, and their skins are so cheap that no one wants to poach them. So, caimans are not protected animals. ”

Just like the American alligators, there is no criminal penalty for killing them, at most a fine, and if you get a hunting license in advance, there will be no hair.

Just as Fang Hong was speaking, the lake next to him made a slight wave.

In the Amazon, it was too normal for insects to hit the surface of the water, or for fruit leaves to fall to the surface of the river, and Fang Hong didn't care about this detail at all.

"Some indigenous people still have the custom of roasting caimans, and they eat crocodiles as a regular food. To be honest, this crocodile meat won't be too ......"

"Wow!"

This time, the momentum was much louder than just now!

Fang Hong jumped back quickly.

This isn't the caiman, it's their big cousin, the black caiman!

Similar in appearance to caiman, the body length is more than four meters, and the black spots are all over the top of the head, and Fang Hong has no time to see more areas at all.

The explosiveness of this crocodile is far from being comparable to that of a caiman, three meters from the water's edge, and in just one second, the black caiman rushes to it.

If Fang Hong jumped back a step unvigilantly, he would have been bitten at this moment!
