Chapter 146: Crocodile Gathering Place
Suddenly came a few staff and guides, their serious expressions. It also made the eight realize at the same time that they were here for this dwarf crocodile...
"Can I say a few words?"
The one who spoke was the bespectacled male assistant who had been following Liu Tao, and the sexy female assistant in "The Rules of Survival" didn't know where to go.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the man with glasses held a few pieces of paper in his hand and said solemnly, "Although the African dwarf crocodile is still relatively large in some places, the overall population has declined greatly compared with the past, and it is listed as a moderately threatened or endangered species. Although it is possible to reproduce in captivity, no farms have yet been established. So the local guide told us that it is indeed a great pleasure for you to find an adult dwarf crocodile in this pond, so you can't eat this dwarf crocodile..."
As soon as these words came out, the others instantly understood that this crocodile was an adult dwarf crocodile. No wonder it's so small, it's really inexplicably stupid.
"Since it's a protected animal, it's not impossible for us to hand over this dwarf crocodile..."Fang Xiaotian smiled and said, "Your program team also has to show us the way, right? We searched for a long time, but we didn't find the Nile crocodile we saw yesterday..."
The man with glasses saw Fang Xiaotian looking at him with such a smile, and it was not difficult to understand his words. So he thought for a moment, and exchanged words with a few other pathfinder staff for a moment.
"Within 500 meters of the lower reaches of the Ruaha River, there is a gathering place for Nile crocodiles, and you can definitely find a lot of Nile crocodiles there..."
Hearing him say this, Fang Xiaotian and the others also had some confidence in their hearts. After coming out for so long, I finally heard a reliable news.
"Then this dwarf crocodile, you can take it!" Fang Xiaotian said with a smile, "Let's set off first!"
Hearing Fang Xiaotian say this, the man with glasses hurriedly nodded to the other staff members, signaling them to quickly carry the dwarf crocodile away.
"It turns out that this crocodile is called a dwarf crocodile, and it has risen in posture!"
"Hahaha... Dwarf crocodile, it sounds a little stupid and cute for some reason, what the hell!?"
"This crocodile is not stunted, it turns out that it is not a desert butcher!"
"Tut-tut... It turned out to be a protected animal, but it's a pity..."
"I guess the people in the program team also know that it is impossible to protect animals! Otherwise, they would not be so nervous..."
"Why does the news of a dwarf crocodile changing a Nile crocodile feel a little uneconomical?"
…
In the live broadcast room, there was a discussion about dwarf crocodiles again, after all, it took so much effort, and in the end, it was still unacceptable. That's the most hurtful thing...
At this time, Fang Xiaotian was still walking in front to lead the way. None of them had any opinions on Fang Xiaotian's approach. Since the dwarf crocodile is a protected animal, it must not have any thoughts about it! If it really violates the laws of Savannah, it is estimated that even a big panda company will get into a lot of trouble!
Fang Xiaotian didn't have any doubts about the words of the male assistant with glasses. After all, he told him the news in front of the live camera, that is, in front of the national audience, and the credibility can be imagined.
Because of the previous hippopotamus herd, the group made a detour for a long time before walking back to the river.
Stop and go all the way, about ten minutes later. Fang Xiaotian, who was leading the way in front, suddenly opened his hands, blocking their footsteps from moving forward.
"The aquatic plants around here are growing well, everyone be careful!" Fang Xiaotian said solemnly.
Of course, this can't be blamed for him suddenly becoming so cautious. Because of the nearby water surface, there are suddenly a lot of aquatic plants and water hyacinths, as if breaking into a swamp.
Hearing Fang Xiaotian say this, the other people's expressions became a lot more cautious. A pair of eyes are looking around at the surrounding shore and aquatic plants.
At this time, Liu Feng pointed to the water surface more than ten meters away, "Look, there's a crocodile there!"
The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, on the water next to the water hyacinth. There is indeed a crocodile floating its head, with a pair of eyes and half of its head exposed on the water, which is quite conspicuous.
Seeing that these people on the shore were staring at him, the crocodile also dived. Only a series of blisters on the surface of the water remained...
"Everyone, pay attention, where there are a lot of aquatic plants in this kind of place, crocodiles really like it very much..."Fang Xiaotian said casually.
After walking along the river for about 400 meters, the group found more than a dozen Nile crocodiles one after another. Sure enough, as the male assistant with glasses said, this is the Nile crocodile colony! There are a lot of Nile crocodiles nearby!
It's just that the Nile crocodile they met was either not in the water, or not on the opposite bank. Therefore, Fang Xiaotian and the others really didn't find a good target for a while.
At this time, Fang Xiaotian, who was walking in the front, stopped again. For he noticed that under a bush of trees on the bank of the river in front of him, the tail of a crocodile was exposed.
"Brother Fang, what should we do now?" Yang Bingbing said nervously.
Because the crocodile's tail was indeed too conspicuous, others also noticed that there was a crocodile under the bushes in front of them.
"Yes, Xiaotian, what are we going to do now?" Liu Ruyan was also a little cramped, because she also understood. With so many people, Fang Xiaotian has experience. Just caught the dwarf crocodile, which has already shown his courage and sophistication.
The entire body of the Nile crocodile is olive-green to brown in color, with black spots and reticulation patterns. As soon as he saw the color and spots on its tail bones, Fang Xiaotian knew that it was a Nile crocodile. But now its exposed tail alone is more than a meter, which inevitably makes people imagine its huge body.
"I think we should make some preparations first, this Nile crocodile is not small, and if I don't make preparations, I'm not sure that I can successfully kill it..."Fang Xiaotian turned around and looked at them very seriously and said.
Everyone saw that Fang Xiaotian was acting so seriously, and of course they knew that this Nile crocodile had put a lot of pressure on him.
"You've all seen the crocodile lock sleeve on TV, right?" Fang Xiaotian said, "That kind of thing can help us a lot!"
Crocodile lock sleeve?!
The women had no clue about such tools. Liu Feng and Zhang Tianyou, who have made up a lot of wilderness knowledge, are not novices!
"Isn't that thing just a movable knot?" I know..."Zhang Tianyou spread his hands, "Our rope is too thin, and we don't have a stick, what should we do?"
Liu Feng shook his head and smiled, "It's not difficult, our existing rope can be made into a thicker rope, but this harpoon is a bit inappropriate to use as the handle at the back, right?"
Fang Xiaotian pressed down with both hands, "Don't make it so complicated, process the string first, don't use it without a handle." The crocodile was clearly resting in a tree hole. Maybe it's because the body is too big and we can only keep our tail outside, so this period is a very good time for us!"
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and weave the rope!" Li Xiao urged.
Just as they started to get busy, Fang Xiaotian fell into thinking for a while...
