Chapter 45: I Didn't Expect You to Be Such a Dog

In the jungle, there were not many animals that dared to approach Fang Hong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But fortunately, the live broadcaster can still find the footage on its own.

A tree porcupine snorts past from under the camera.

"This is the tree porcupine, a creature that is found all over the world and is not endemic to South America. ā€

"In this forest, there are mostly small animals, almost all large animals have disappeared from history, and the real threat is all kinds of viruses and bacteria, so I have to choose more than 20 minutes of cooking for anything, among which my favorite is stir-frying and frying, what virus in the oil pan for five minutes and then stew, will die ugly. ā€

"Brother Gun, aren't caimans and pythons big animals?"

Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "The ancestor of the caiman, the Amazon Morse crocodile, has a body length of more than ten meters and a weight greater than that of a tyrannosaurus. The ancestor of the Sycod, the Titan Python, is more than fifteen meters long, and they are all big guys, and compared with them, Caiman and Constrictor are all small babies. ā€

"Running like a baby weighing several tons?"

"Brother Gun, why are you filling a bottle of fish?"

"It's not like the gray wolf made trouble last time, can't I hide if I can't afford to provoke it, bring an emergency meal, so as not to take unnecessary risks. ā€

"Brother Gun, is there a bear here?"

"Does a honey bear count?" Fang Hong smiled: "Raccoon...... If the honey bear under the classification of instant noodles is considered a bear, then there is. The former South American land is also the area dominated by bears, short-faced bears and slender-toothed giant bears, are the largest carnivores, among which the slender-toothed giant bear should be one of the largest carnivores ever seen in history, but according to scientific research, they are too large, but not easy to hunt, so every time they encounter a famine years, they are easy to extinction, short-faced bears evolved into scavengers, and they have not escaped the fate of extinction. ā€

Throughout the afternoon, Fang Hong had been heading in the predetermined direction, but he still rarely encountered animals.

It's different from the forest where water friends imagine that the forest is full of animals.

Many small mammals choose to come out at night to avoid being killed by predators.

And the ecosphere of a forest is fixed, and how many animals can be supported by how big the forest can be determined.

The further you go, the denser the water system becomes, and the canals are like natural dividing lines, dividing the forests into semi-independent ecospheres.

Throughout the afternoon, the sixth-chance encounter actually came from a sloth.

A big sloth crawled and climbed on the ground with a small sloth, and walked very slowly.

"What's this lying on the ground?"

Fang Hong shrugged: "It's not lying on the ground, it's crawling, hurrying." ā€

The sloth is basically moving, and its crawling posture is not like that of a mammal, but rather like a lizard's slow crawl.

"What the hell, this is the Amazon, why isn't this animal extinct yet?"

"Don't you see how small he is? Their close relative, the big sloth, a super omnivore larger than the Asian elephant, was slaughtered by humans 10,000 years ago. ā€

"Bigger than an Asian elephant?"

Fang Hong pointed at the sloth: "They are not small at all, and the big sloth can destroy the saber-toothed tiger alone." There is fossil evidence. ā€

All the large animals that survived the extinction died by human slaughter, while the small animals lived well.

"In fact, the big carnivores in the entire Amazon, including tiger cats, eat sloths, but the meat of sloths is very, very, very unpalatable, and carnivores are generally not interested in them. ā€

A mammal that doesn't move, doesn't grow fat, doesn't bathe, and is covered in green algae, and probably not many predators want to eat it.

Chewing them is no different from chewing pine wood, and it hurts more than chewing wax.

"However, this animal rarely goes to the ground, and it must have swam from the other side of the river, proving that there are neither forest snakes nor caimans in this vicinity, which is a rare treasure. ā€

"So Brother Gun, you're going to camp here?"

"Camping?" Fang Hong stared at the branch above his head: "I feel that the tree is still safe." ā€

Fang Hong was chopping tree branches to make hammocks, and the sloth next to him was still crawling slowly, looking worried.

"Don't call this animal a sloth, let's call it slowly. ā€

Fang Hong snickered: "As the saying goes, things must be reversed, this animal is slow, but it also has a fast side." ā€

"What?"

"Breeding. Fang Hong shook his fingers: "It's been so long." ā€

Of course, it is not about the pregnancy and giving birth, but about the mating process.

"Holy, Lightning!"

"Lightning, indeed. ā€

Half an hour later, the hammock was lifted into the air, but this time it was not a hammock covered with leaves, but a large shelf with a grid of vines hanging from it.

The sloth finally disappeared from view, and this adventure began in the river, and they were the first strange, slow and very calm.

"Brother Gun, don't hunt today?"

"The rodents here, I don't want to eat any of them, the devil knows what viruses they have, I'd better collect some wild fruits to deal with it, stomach problems during the Chinese New Year, I have gained a lot of pounds in eating, and I just lost weight. ā€

Losing weight is not something that can be lost without eating.

Because the human body has a protective mechanism, it must be in the presence of food for the body's functions to be fully activated.

In a state of starvation, the body does not actively break down fat.

Eating polysaccharide fruits can not only activate the body's activity, but also replenish trace elements, and at the same time, it is not easy to absorb sugar, and most importantly, it is antiviral and improves immunity.

As the saying goes, there must be an antidote to poison within three steps.

In the Amazon rainforest, any fruit that can be eaten is a good antidote.

Just as Fang Hong was collecting the fruit, a group of animals that were a little bigger than rabbits ran past Fang Hong's feet, and Fang Hong was stunned.

The cheekbones of this animal are smooth, the eye sockets, the bridge of the nose, and the entire snout are basically smooth, and the head is like a xun (an elliptical instrument with one large and one small).

"I'll go, isn't this an otter? Brother Gun, why is the otter running so fast. ā€

Under the live broadcaster's moving shots, the detailed features of these animals are not hidden, yellow-brown fur, smooth head top, not too high nose, the entire back is extremely smooth, the curve is connected to the skull, and there are no shrugged shoulder blades. The legs are short, with long flippers, about four or five kilograms, and the body shape is like that of Pekingba.

Fang Hong thought for a moment: "This is not an otter, this is a dog." ā€

"I'll go, don't tease Brother Gun. ā€

"How can this be a dog, is it inhabited here?"

Fang Hong thought for a moment and patted his head: "Indeed, it shouldn't be called a dog, it should be called a canine, a canine, a South American jungle dog, likes to live near rivers, and is the only canine with flippers." Small in size and short in legs, all adapted to running under the bushes. ā€

"Not really an otter?"

"Otters don't run in groups on land, they are African bush dogs. ā€

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"You're in luck. Fang Hong explained: "This kind of dog is very, very rare, because it lives in the depths of the Amazon basin and likes to live in semi-swampy areas with dense water systems, so it is rarely photographed or videographed by humans, and it takes a long time for a documentary team or scientific expedition to find them." ā€

"If you look closely, its head resembles that of an otter, but its ears are erect and outward, and its face is rounder, and its fur is fluffy, and its tail is very short. ā€

"yes, it looks different from an otter. ā€

"There are no common otters in Brazil, only one animal called the giant otter, which is on the verge of extinction. With the intelligence and social habits of the giant otter, the jaguar is also a flight for its life when it encounters the giant otter, this creature is very difficult to encounter, and I guess it is not so lucky. They are less common than South American jungle dogs. ā€

"666, I didn't expect them to be dogs. ā€

"I didn't expect you to be such dogs. ā€
