"Is the wolf really that scary? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Fang Hong stared in that direction: "You guys first search for the North American gray wolf and look at the photos, and then say this." ”
"It's nothing, it's the same as a normal wolf, huh?"
"I'm Cao!"
Someone searched for a single wolf, there was no reference, and it was difficult to see the size of the wolf because it lived in North America, where all trees were incomparably huge.
But someone searched for photos taken by wolves and humans together.
In most of the photos, the North American gray wolf has the height between the chest and abdomen of a person, and if it lies on a person, it is taller than a person!
You must know that this is North America, and white people in North America are generally tall and strong, the average height of American men is 175, while the average height of white American men is 178, and the height of white men under the age of 30 in the United States is 182, which is on the same standard line as the Netherlands and Norway.
In most of the pictures, you can apply 180 as a comparison, the size of the North American gray wolf is extremely terrifying, not to mention like a calf, it is simply bigger than a calf.
"Click!"
In the empty forest, the sound of tree branches breaking was so obvious, Fang Hong took out his bow and arrow without saying a word.
Five hundred meters away, a small black dot could be faintly seen.
Three hundred meters away, the gray wolf was still advancing.
At a distance of 100 meters, the gray wolf slowed down.
Fifty meters away, the gray wolf stopped.
The back is gray, and the jaw to the belly is white, very similar to the husky's coat color.
However, the wolf is an animal with long hair on its neck, which makes it look even more majestic.
Fang Hong looked at the wolf, and the wolf also looked at this Fang Hong, one person and one wolf were fifty meters apart, and the wind in the forest seemed to be still at this moment.
"Brother Gun, turn around and run away?"
"Brother Gun said last time, don't run away when you encounter a beast in the wild, once you escape, you will be chased. ”
Fang Hong whispered: "What I said last time was not right, it should be said that when you encounter ordinary beasts, don't rush to escape, when you encounter wolves, it's useless to escape or not." ”
"The North American gray wolf can maintain an activity of more than 100 kilometers per day, and the gray wolf's range covers most of the United States and Canada. Once they have their eyes on their prey, they will always be entangled. ”
This is the characteristic of wolves, unless, Fang Hong can walk into the territory of another pack of wolves or another wolf.
And when it comes to that kind of place, it can only be said that the danger is even greater.
"If it really doesn't die, will you give it an arrow?"
"Brother Gun, how do I think that this wolf is not only eighty shoulder height, but also more than one meter and eight meters long, and more than sixty kilograms. ”
"He's M!" Fang Hong was annoyed: "I just talked about the largest wolf pack in North America, this wolf should be a lone wolf from the druid peak wolf pack in Yellowstone Park, the size is huge, at least more than eighty kilograms by sight, and the length of the head and tail is two meters, how can this size be driven out of the wolf pack?!"
It stands to reason that a wolf of this size, even if it is driven out of the wolf pack, is easy to mix into another wolf pack to defeat the head wolf and become a new head wolf, how can it be driven south to this kind of area?
"In 07, there was a fierce fight between the wolves in Yellowstone, and the number of wolves decreased sharply, I'm afraid this time is the case again, now it's close to winter, the lack of food makes the fierce battle happen again, this wolf can't mix with another wolf pack in this environment, so it was driven south to here, it stands to reason that the resident wolf pack in the forest here does not have monsters of this size. ”
"Say so much, give it an arrow. ”
"First, this wolf is a protected animal, and second, a 110-pound bow is enough to pierce it, but it also needs to be shot!"
Shoot a fixed target, shoot a rabbit with a close back, and a little bit of drama.
Shoot the wolf?fifty meters?Fang Hong can't shoot at all, even if the gray wolf stands there and doesn't move, a bag of arrows shot out may not necessarily hit, not to mention, is the gray wolf stupid?
Fang Hong could only confront the gray wolf.
What's even more terrifying is that the wolf looks like it hasn't eaten in a long time, and may have just been driven to the area.
"The stalemate, the sudden embarrassment, unpreparedness. ”
"Embarrassing? This is a pretending 6, it's just embarrassing to encounter this thing? If it were me, I would have turned around and run away. ”
"It's really embarrassing, if a hundred years ago, this wolf would have run away when he saw me holding a bow and arrow, but now, especially in the United States, wolves are not afraid of people at all. ”
In the nineteenth century, there were twenty species of wolves in North America, one of which was a special wolf species called the white wolf that was exterminated by the Interlands, and the Americans carried out a massacre of wolves in their own territory, these wolves were introduced from Canada fifteen years ago, and now the Americans do not kill wolves, so the wolf does not realize that Fang Hong's creatures are called humans - the most ferocious creatures in the world.
"It's moving!"
The lone wolf spared a giant sequoia.
Fang Hong was vigilant: "Everyone should have heard of a large number of idioms, such as embarrassment, wolf heart and dog lungs, wolf ambition, wolf greed, wolf suspicion." The wolf is a creature, and turning its head does not mean that it has given up. ”
"But I'm not prepared to confront it head-on, I keep going, out of this giant sequoia forest, if it sneaks up on me, I can only do it, if it doesn't, then forget it. ”
Fang Hong's mending knife and axe were inserted in the side pocket of the mountaineering bag, holding a bow and arrow, and made a detour to the east.
No matter how he walked, Fang Hong could still feel that this wolf was following him.
To the east, Fang Hong did not relax his vigilance in the slightest, keeping an eye on his back, and the panoramic function of the live broadcast camera also provided a tracking field of vision.
Fang Hong passed by the water source twice and did not stop to fetch water, but continued to move towards the east.
A shelter must be found before the sun sets.
In other words, it won't take long to leave the Giant Sequoia Ridge, but you must find a place where the gray wolf can't reach it.
The problem now is that with this wolf following, Fang Hong has no way to hunt and can't find anything to eat.
"The North American gray wolf, even if it is only a single one, is also one of the most ferocious land animals in the world, whether the jaguar can win when it encounters the North American gray wolf is two words, it has been following me, enough to make nearby rabbits and other creatures escape, I can't get food to replenish now. ”
Finally, out of the Giant Sequoia Ridge, on the one hand, the altitude began to rise again, and on the other hand, the temperature dropped sharply.
This is a piece of coniferous forest.
Fang Hong stepped on the soft fallen leaves and kept moving forward.
"!" Fang Hong avoided a tree: "There is actually a snake hanging on the branch of this tree, fortunately I didn't walk over." ”
The forest is already sparsely sunny, and the sun is setting, and the surroundings are already darkening.
Fang Hong didn't have any choice, and directly climbed onto a huge pindrop pine with the thickness of the two people's arms: "Fortunately, this is North America, and there are giant trees everywhere, I'm afraid I can only spend the night here." ”
Climbing to a tree branch more than six meters above the ground, Fang Hong took out a rappelling rope.
Unexpectedly, the rope that was originally intended to be used for rappelling has been used as a binding rope.
Fang Hong chose this tree, firstly because it is hard and the branches are not easy to break, and secondly, because there are two branches that are very close to each other here, which can lie down, and there is a third branch behind it.
Just as Fang Hong was knotting the net with a rope, not far away, a fat bird flew up.
The bird was whole in numb color, and it was about thirty or forty centimeters long.
"Isn't this a snowcock?"
Fang Hong was stunned for a moment, watching the bird take off.
"Dry!" the house leak happened to rain overnight!
"This is a snowcock, also known as a thunderbird, a bird of North American origin, good at running, can't fly for a long time, if it wasn't scared by me or the gray wolf before taking off, I'm in big trouble!
"The Thunderbird, so called the Thunderbird, is because it likes to fly high before the rain comes, like chasing thunder and lightning. ”
If it doesn't fly in fright, it's going to rain.
Fang Hong looked up at the sky, the sky in the north was much darker than in the south, and it could be observed through the forest canopy.
Heavy rain is coming, and it's freezing rain again!
"Grass!"
Fang Hong didn't stop doing anything, took off the safety rope, made a circle from the needle pine, and tied it into a knot: "It's really raining, I can only sleep hanging." ”
Lying on a tree branch in the rain? That's not death.
Fang Hong hadn't eaten for a long time since he had eaten two pieces of snake meat in the morning, the water in the water bag was less than a liter, and there was no place to rest, if it rained again......
