Chapter 290: Lady Beaver

Tang Hai looked at the place where Rose pointed, and there was a dam!

This is not a man-made dam, this is a dam made of tree trunks and leaves, this is the masterpiece of 'Nature's architects'!

The small river, which is about 10 meters wide, is blocked by a small dam, and the water level here is about 3 meters at its highest, but now it should be only 1 meter, however......

Now there is a three-metre water level, which is the result of the dam!

A small 'island' stands in the water, densely packed with branches of large and small trees, so that you can't see what's going on inside.

But Tang Hai knew that this was the home of the beaver rat!

"Huo!" Tang Hai shouted, turned over and dismounted.

"Hey, fun, right?" Rose followed, and patted the red rabbit horse's body, and the red rabbit horse went around looking for something to play with.

Beavers, the hard-haired rat family, were later listed separately as the beaver rat family, which can also be called beavers, and are distributed in many places around the world, and most of them are American beavers in the United States.

It can be up to one meter long and weighs 30 kilograms......

This is because the tail is too long, otherwise the one-meter-long round creature would not be so heavy.

Seeing Tang Hai searching everywhere for the location of 'Mr. Beaver', Rose was behind and laughing. They are both people who love animals and nature, and she knows very well that Tang Hai will be happy when she sees round little animals. felt that Tang Hai seemed to be very busy and tired recently, and it was estimated that Tang Hai needed to relax and heal in his heart, so she brought Tang Hai to see the little treasures she found.

Washington State is a relatively awkward geographical location, when it comes to fishing, it can't compare to California in the south, and it can't compare to Alaska in the north, but when it comes to forest resources, it is really proud of the states, and because of its geographical location, there can be some creatures in the north and some creatures in the south.

For example, the state of Oregon to the south is also known as the beaver state. At the beginning, whether it was native, immigrant, or colonial, they all hunted beavers there, of course. No one does that now......

The difference between the climate conditions in Washington State and Oregon is very small, and beavers widely live in coniferous forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved areas or on the edges, and there are naturally Mr. Beavers in Washington State!

Tang Hai had never found anything before, but he liked this little animal very much!

Marlena went to the aquarium to see. I don't know if it's Mr. Beaver or baby sea otter, but it doesn't matter, she's got capybara and a bunch of baby sea otters now, and I guess she doesn't have any regrets about it.

Tang Hai is very good at searching for animals, especially the size of this dam, building this dam requires at least 5,000 pieces of wood, and a lot of soft mud and stones, which is definitely not something that a little beaver can do, large animals are already looking for by Tang Hai now, and Rose is a cowgirl. is better at this than Tang Hai.

On the way, I met an owl, an owl.

The owl belongs to the bird of prey, the owl is also a bird, the pronunciation is the same, especially refers to the bird of prey that looks like a cat and is nocturnal, there are about 130 varieties.

It's the only bird that can't distinguish colors, but they have an excellent sense of hearing, with about four times as many hearing cells as crows of the same weight.

Most people walk nocturnally, but there are a few types of vision that are able to adapt to the bright light of the day. It also hunts during the day.

When Tang Hai found it, it also found Tang Hai, because the eyes were fixed on the face, so the owl had to keep turning its neck to observe. Wherever Tang Hai and Rose went, it turned, and at the same time changed the order of the feathers on its body, making itself 'change face', as if it had become bigger, trying to scare Tang Hai away......

"It thought it was a little change. Is it enough to scare us away? "Rose thinks this thing is out to be funny.

"I see footprints, and Mr. Beaver is ahead." Tang Hai looked at the big footprints on the ground that looked like duck footprints, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

The two of them soon found a chubby beaver rat, standing up and looking a little like the big Rada from "Pokemon", a furry, baring front teeth, and a small forelimb like a small hand, holding a tree about ten centimeters thick and gnawing.

Finding that Tang Hai and Rose were coming, the beaver rat's small dark eyes seemed to look over......

They stop and turn to run away, with a flattened, large tail like an oar, and webbed toes between their hind feet and front paws, which is the key to their ability to swim and dive quickly!

Tang Hai and Rose didn't chase, the beaver rat stopped after running two steps, turned his head to look at Tang Hai and the two, and slowly rubbed and gnawed on the small tree.

The animals in the forest areas of the United States are strange, they are afraid of everything, they are not afraid of people!

Tang Hai is subscribing to every issue of agriculture-related and water-related magazines and newspapers in various countries, such as "Asian Geographic Magazine" and "American Agricultural Finance and Economics", he wants to know the situation of each country and know what to sell and where to make money, because seafood is the world's business, so the scope of his research is very wide, and it will not be limited to one country and one place. This is a very strict self-respecting person who will learn like this, and even Jennifer often marvels at Tang Hai's drive.

The biggest advantage of the United States is that it has a small population and a large agricultural area, and this year's pork production is about 23.9 billion pounds, and the per capita resource is 80 pounds.

The pressure of competition in agriculture is very strong here.

A lot of meat sells at a very low price, that's because you can't finish it and you have to think about exporting, who buys it if you don't sell it at a low price in the United States? Lao Mei's side judges the wealth of a family by the proportion of food expenditure to daily expenses, which proves that food is the least valuable thing here. But the daily expenses are still quite large, and Tang Hai couldn't save money to buy a dress when his salary was small before.

If you can't eat the meat with low prices and security checks, then everyone won't eat wild meat without security checks.

As a result, wild animals rarely see humans 'committing murder', so they think that humans will not eat them, so they are not afraid of people.

It's not just the United States, Australia is even more exaggerated than the United States, and wild animals in arid areas will even stop people and ask for water!

This beaver rat is a big guy, it has lived for many years, it is estimated that it has seen some humans, and knows that humans will not do black hands to it, turned around, looked at Tang Hai and the two with small eyes, and slowly walked back, lying on the tree and continuing to gnaw.

It moves very fast, and it gnaws around a small tree like a corn cob, and it only takes 2 hours to gnaw on a 40 cm diameter tree.

However, they are good for the whole ecology because they are vegetarians, and when the dams are built, they will stop going on a logging spree, and the impoundment of water into lakes will also benefit fisheries and forests on both sides. Moreover, the dikes made by beaver rats have not cut off the scale of fish migration.

Tang Hai and Rose sat on a rock, eating spicy beef strips and watching the beaver rat busy, wanting to help, but they got too close to the beaver rat and would be vigilant.

"It's a female beaver rat, they're all homework, why is it the only one here?" Tang Hai looked at it for a while, and finally recognized the sex of the beaver rat, but he immediately discovered the problem.

"The male has been eaten by wolves, there have been too many wolves recently, and I have encountered them several times, but there are red rabbits, and it doesn't matter if there are black bears."

Finally, the beaver rat gnawed down the tree to the middle point, and when it pushed, the thing fell down!

It was about to drag this thing away, when it froze, as if it was too big......

"Haha!" Tang Hai and Rose both laughed when they saw its stunned appearance.

Tang Hai stood up: "I'll help it." ”
