Chapter Forty-Six: Foodie Xiaobai
After this little wolf cub has been strengthened by the strongest title system, its gastrointestinal function seems to be much stronger, and Lin Ya will eat whatever it gives, and those who come will not refuse, and they are not picky eaters at all.
Seeing that Xiaobai was so easy to feed, Lin Ya simply bought a large bag of snacks in order to save trouble, and then threw them on the back seat of the off-road vehicle.
Xiaobai is very smart, and after Lin Ya demonstrated it a few times, it learned to unpack the snacks by itself.
The wolf is a national second-class protected animal, with a total of 46 subspecies, with a medium-sized and well-proportioned body, slender limbs, and toe-walking, which is conducive to fast running.
The head and palate are pointed, the face is elongated, the nose is prominent, the ears are pointed and erect, the sense of smell is sensitive, and the sense of hearing is well developed.
well-developed canines and fissures; The upper molars have distinct cusps, and the lower molars have a small cusp and heel cusp on the medial side; The diameter of the crown of the molars is greater than the height of the lateral incisors; The tooth type is. The hairs are coarse and long.
4~5 toes on the forefoot, 4 toes on the hind foot; The claws are thick and blunt, unable or slightly retractable. The tail is hairy and more developed.
Good at fast and long-distance running, more like to live in groups, often chasing prey, feeding on herbivores and rodents.
Inhabits forests, deserts, mountains, boreal grasslands, coniferous forests, grasslands. It is distributed all over the world, except for Antarctica and most of the islands.
The appearance is similar to that of dogs and jackals, with long feet and thin bodies, squinted eyes, long pointed upper jaw bones, wide and curved mouth, erect ears, slightly narrow chest, and a straight tail hanging between the two hind legs.
The coat color varies depending on the place of origin, and the hairy color is brownish-yellow or grayish-yellow, slightly mixed with black, and the lower part is white.
It has a wide range of habitats and strong adaptability, and wolves live in mountains, forest areas, grasslands, and even ice fields. He is active at night, has a keen sense of smell and good hearing.
Alert, suspicious, good at running, strong endurance, often using the way of exhaustive pursuit to obtain prey. Wolves are carnivores, mainly feeding on deer, antelopes, rabbits, insects, mice, etc., and can withstand hunger.
Wolves are predators, and wolf packs are formed in the form of a nuclear family, including a couple and their children, and sometimes adopted juvenile wolf cubs. Wolves belong to the typical food chain secondary predators.
Usually in groups, wolves were killed by humans by the end of the 20th century because they prey on sheep and other domestic animals, and some subspecies such as the Japanese wolf, the Newfoundland wolf, the Florida black wolf, and the Kenai Mountain wolf are extinct.
Two million years ago, there were 3 top killers of the fastest food chain on the earth, in descending order of power, namely the Titan Bird, the Saber-toothed Tiger and the Wolf.
After 2 million years, we can only see the existence of wolves today, why is it that the titan bird, which has a huge size, moderate endurance, fast running, and rapid attack, has become extinct in all directions for hundreds of thousands of years?
Both the Titan and the Saber-toothed Tiger are more powerful than wolves, not only in size, but also in speed, but both lack a social system.
Therefore, the biggest disadvantage of living alone or hunting is that it is not possible to effectively protect the offspring of young or even hatching (titan birds) when they go out to hunt.
Secondly, even if the ability to kill prey is strong, the speed of digestion and eating is also important for the reason that it can protect the prey it catches.
Wolves work as a team and can more effectively protect their offspring from other predators.
Moreover, the wolf moves quickly and cooperates to attack the opponent's weakness by biting off the Achilles tendon of the prey's thigh and paralyzing it, even if the risk is equivalent to digging his head into the fan (biting the thigh of the prey with his teeth).
Eventually, within 20 minutes, the wolves could eat up a deer and turn it into a pile of bones, giving no chance to other people waiting for an opportunity to plunder their wealth.
In this way, over time, the other top killers all died out, and the wolf became the overlord at the top of the food chain for a time. A million years later, this position began to be replaced by humans who were more adept at working in groups.
Wolves are omnivorous and feed mainly on deer, antelopes, rabbits, etc., and sometimes they also eat insects, wild fruits, or steal pigs and sheep. can endure hunger and be full, but it is estimated that there is no one who eats snacks like Xiaobai.
Seeing Xiaobai eating potato chips and egg yolk pie with taste, Lin Ya couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Xiaobai, you foodie, leave me a few egg yolk pies." ”
Xiaobai seemed to understand Lin Ya's words, he didn't continue to eat the egg yolk pie, and flatteringly handed the egg yolk pie to Lin Ya, who was driving, with two front paws.
Lin Ya saw that Xiaobai was so sensible, so she touched its round head as a reward.
Xiaobai narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, and the fluffy tail behind his butt wagged happily.
The wolf's tail should be very stiff, but Xiaobai's tail is as soft as a dog, and now it is shaking fast.
In addition, Xiaobai's head is not sharp and narrow like a wolf, but big and round like a pug, with snow-white hair and a round figure, Lin Ya can already imagine that when Chen Mengmeng sees Xiaobai, he will definitely look like he has been transformed by Xiaobai.
Lin Ya fed a vacuum-packed braised chicken leg to Xiaobai, and after it licked the palm with his tongue, Lin Ya said to it with a smile: "Xiaobai, don't lick blindly, this habit is not good." I'll buy you a toothbrush when I get home, and you'll have to learn how to brush my teeth. ”
With Xiaobai by his side along the way, Lin Ya suddenly felt that the journey back to Harbour City became a lot more interesting.
When she got home and rang the doorbell, Chen Mengmeng, who saw Xiaobai for the first time, behaved as Lin Ya expected, she snatched Xiaobai into her arms with little stars in her eyes, and she looked like she couldn't put it down.
Although Xiaobai's body size is not small, it is mainly fluffy fur, and the actual weight is only about ten catties, so Chen Mengmeng can hold Xiaobai.
