"It was indeed a dolphin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Fang Hong looked at the dolphins that jumped out of the river again in the distance: "Pink dolphins, living in the depths of the Amazon Basin, are lucky enough to let us meet them." Dolphins are not fish, and it is not surprising that the Amazon River is wide and inhabited by dolphins. ”
"There are five species of dolphins in the world that live in freshwater: the endangered white-sided dolphin in the Yangtze River in China, the Yangtze River, the dolphin in the Ganges River in India, the pink dolphin in the Amazon and Orinoco rivers, and the blind dolphin in the Indus River in Pakistan. ”
"Actually, they should be called pufferfish, white-sided dolphins and finless porpoises do not belong to the same family as other puffer fish, and the finless porpoise does not even belong to the same family as them, the Yangtze finless porpoise belongs to the dolphin, and the other categories are pure freshwater dolphins, I remember that in November last year, someone found two pink dolphins in the Pearl River basin, if you can take detailed pictures or catch a live body, you may be able to identify a new genus of puffer fish. ”
"Brother Gun, isn't the puffer fish that is poisonous and can be eaten, I have eaten it in R Ben, this is called pufferfish?"
Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "After all, the power of the people is strong, and the people call the final appearance the finale, so the dictionary was forced to change the definition of the finale, and the people called the frightened as a dumb chicken, so the idiom dictionary could only change the meaning of the dumb chicken." In the same way, the people called pufferfish pufferfish, and biology books had to change pufferfish to pufferfish. One is the pure half, and the other is the home half. ”
"Damn, why, the official came forward to correct it?"
"I guess the Education Bureau is trying to cultivate everyone's self-confidence. After all, if you see this kind of news, ordinary people like you and me will suspect that you are illiterate. ”
Fang Hong put down the wooden pole, pulled out a fishing line in his bag, and then took out the bag containing a rabbit-like creature: "Since the schools of puffer fish are here, it means that I can fish in troubled waters." ”
"What kind of fish are you touching in troubled waters?"
Fang Hong cut off a bit of meat, hung it on the hook of the fishing line, tied the fishing line to the wooden pole, and then stabbed the rabbit-like creature and threw it into the river.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After only three seconds, the river seemed to be boiling.
The sound of rattling and rattling is endless.
In an instant, the boiling water of the river turned red, it was blood.
", what the hell is this!
Fang Hong threw the hook into the water at this time: "Piranha." ”
"Piranhas, also known as piranhas, have delicious meat, similar to black fish, with teeth between them, and are aggressive. ”
"Piranhas! Are there piranhas, do these dolphins dare to stay here without fear of being dismembered?"
This point of view really made Fang Hong drunk.
"Piranhas, no matter how powerful they are, are also fish, in the lower middle of the food chain, caimans, forest snakes, electric eels, spiny catfish, all include piranhas. So it's no surprise that the recipe for pink dolphins, or Amazon pufferfish, also includes piranhas. ”
"In the Amazon, there aren't many fish that can form a school of fish, and pink dolphins tend to live alone and only congregate when hunting. Seeing a school of puffer fish means that there is a large school of piranhas nearby. ”
"The piranhas you see in the movie are indispensable, dominating the rivers and rivers, they are all nonsense, and the isolated piranhas are not timid. Even if it's a swarm of piranhas, it's just a fish. ”
The line begins to pull.
The wooden pole sat under Fang Hong's buttocks, and even if the piranha was twice as strong, it was equal to zero.
Fang Hong picked up the wooden stick and began to roll the thread: "For my dinner, I don't need to eat raw bananas." ”
"I'll go, Brother Gun, do you really want to eat piranhas?"
"What if the piranha you ate has eaten someone. ”
"The food you eat may also be purpose-oriented. What's more, piranhas are not so easy to eat people, and the locals are not stupid and will not die. ”
The piranha was smoothly pulled onto the raft by Fang Hong and jumped on the raft.
Fang Hong took out a knife, nailed the piranha to the raft with one sword, picked up the mending knife axe, and chopped off its head with the knife in his hand.
"I'll go, it's really humane, it's dead thoroughly. ”
Fang Hong shrugged: "You said that slaughtering mammals is humane, and killing fish is humane." I was just afraid that the virus in this rabbit meat belt would contaminate the piranha, so I chopped it off with a knife. After the hook is removed, it is also burned with fire. ”
The piranha was quite big, enough for Fang Hong to eat twice.
"Brother Gun, why do piranhas grow into such strange shapes? ”
"It's not weird, it's just a discus, but this size does affect its speed. Scientists speculate that in the course of evolution, piranhas evolved to prevent cannibalism. ”
"Piranhas are so ferocious, do you want to prevent cannibalism?"
Fang Hong explained: "Generally, many viruses do not spread across species, but the probability of transmission of the same species is very high. If one of the same species is hunted, only one of them will be sick and the population will become extinct. It's like...... Mad cow disease. ”
In fact, BSE was first discovered not in cattle, but in humans.
Cannibals, a super primitive native, should also be sick.
The virus was the first to infect sheep, and I don't know what Europeans thought at the time, but they actually fed cattle with cow bone meal, which led to the widespread spread of this virus. Since it can be transmitted to humans, it causes panic.
In our country, even seventy or eighty-year-old ladies in rural areas who have never read know that the swill when eating pork cannot be fed to pigs.
Cannibalism is another reason for the extinction of many powerful animals throughout history.
Just when Fang Hong carefully removed the hook, threw away the piranha head, and began to burn the hook with fire, the sailor made a new discovery.
"Brother Gun, dolphin, dolphin!"
"Huh?"
The dolphins actually came.
Maybe it's because the piranha is tearing the rabbit so loudly that the dolphin's radar catches it.
"Dolphin brains have one more structure than any other animal in the world, and that's bioradar, which they can use to probe the waters. They must have found a school of piranhas to hunt. ”
Underwater, there are many dark shadows, and the surface of the water is constantly stirred up by piranhas.
A small dolphin actually stopped in the middle of the hunt, poked its head out of the water, and looked at Fang Hong.
Fang Hong was puzzled for a moment: "It shouldn't bite me, there are no large animals in its recipe." ”
Fang Hong stretched out his hand and touched the little dolphin.
The little pink dolphin rubbed it up excitedly, revealing the dorsal fin of the cute dead man.
"This dorsal fin, I'm damned, good Q. ”
Unlike other dolphins, which have shark-like dorsal fins, pink dolphins have small protrusions.
The little dolphin rubbed Fang Hong's palm back and forth, his body did not move, and he shook his head left and right.
"Unlike all dolphins, the Amazon pink dolphin has no neck bone and no skull solidification, in other words, all dolphins have the ability to twist their heads. ”
Probably because of this ability, the skin of the jaw of pink dolphins is not as tight as that of other dolphins.
After a while, the baby dolphin turned its head and sank into the water.
Fang Hong was also stunned.
It came suddenly, and it went suddenly.
As a result, a few tens of seconds later, the little dolphin came out of the water again, turned his head, and threw the fish onto the raft.
Fang Hong was in a hurry, this special piranha was not dead yet, if he was bitten, he would lose a lot.
The knife turned out to be a piranha, and Fang Hong saw the little dolphin slowly turn around and enter the water again, this time it was really leaving.
Fang Hong sighed, this should be the effect of his animal affinity.
Let's just say that this skill has not been helpful to me.,It turns out,It's only effective for all kinds of cute things.。
"666, I've only seen people feeding dolphins, and the first time I saw dolphins feeding people. ”
Fang Hong stretched out his arm: "Dolphins should eat at night, and today is really our luck." These dolphins are in this river, so the forest pythons and caimans will not be near this area. However, the next few river crossings may not be so lucky. ”
300 meters, 10 minutes. Facing the river bank that was close at hand, Fang Hong frowned.
Just as it was about to land, a forest snake hung from a tree.
Fang Hong propped up the wooden pole and slid downstream for some distance, removing all the lashing lines from the raft, and then cutting off the vines.
With his bag on his back and two headless piranhas, Fang Hong walked into the dense forest.
