Chapter 419: Who Hunts Whom

"I swear, in the future, even if someone carries a sedan chair to invite me, I will never come to this damn place!" Bai Xuefei kept cursing in his heart. ,!

In his opinion, the mysterious island is the place of death, not much different from hell, he has just experienced a catastrophe, and he will immediately encounter a fight with giant beasts, who knows if those giant beasts will rise up and kill from that side to this side.

It was a bear, Bai Xuefei didn't doubt his eyes, but he had to swear that he had never seen such a big bear in his life. The brown bear is big enough, but to stand in front of this bear, I'm afraid it's a baby bear.

He was all worried in his heart, what would happen if this bear rushed over? I heard that bears have three tricks, one shot, two hugs and three sitting.

Pat, naturally, with a bear's paw, look at the size, a slap out, I'm afraid it can knock down a bucket-thick tree.

Hug, naturally a bear hug. I'm afraid that no one in this world wants to be hugged by a bear, even a small black bear can hold people out of breath, let alone such a behemoth. If you are hugged by it, the bones of your whole body will be broken.

It's even more terrifying to sit, to be sat by such a behemoth, I'm afraid there will be only one end, and you will be directly crushed into meat puree.

Bai Xuefei couldn't help but set his eyes on the two dragons raised by Qin Xuebing, not knowing if these two guys could deal with that big bear.

He has seen the power of the two dragons, and they are basically invincible. But when I looked at the big bear again, I couldn't help but mutter, which guy is too big and violent, maybe he can really make these two dragons lie down.

"And those birds, it's not a good stubble!" Bai Xuefei muttered, those birds were a bit similar to moa. Of course, the size cannot be compared, almost three meters tall.

But these birds are very ferocious, more than a dozen of them are all besieging the giant bear together, and can fight in full swing, can they be good?

The only thing he was thankful for was that the birds had short wings that weren't enough to support flight. I guess I won't rush over.

"Brother, which of them are hunting whom?" Ouyang Xiaomei put down her glasses, and the fight was in full swing over there. But the strength is very important, and it can't take advantage of it.

Hunting is a daily occurrence in the animal kingdom, but few animals hunt a game of comparable strength. That would probably double the kill. Even if you win, I'm afraid it will be a lose-lose situation, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"It should be caused by a fight for territory, or a fight for food." Qin Xuebing speculated that animals like to divide their territory, and other large animals are not allowed to appear in their own territory, otherwise they will be driven away.

For example, tigers have a very large territory, and once other large meat indoor animals enter, the two sides will soon fight. Until one of the parties dies, or withdraws.

There is also the case of competition for food. Many animals have a bad habit of being too lazy to hunt themselves, and their favorite thing is to enjoy other people's food in their mouths. Brown bears, for example, are very fond of grabbing food. It is said that 30% of the food of brown bears is robbed from the tiger's mouth.

If it was really caused by the competition for food, I am afraid that this big bear started the war, after all, the habits of bears are not very good.

"And who do you think will win?" Ouyang Xiaomei asked again.

"Big Bear!" Qin Xuebing could feel that the life aura of this black bear was very powerful, almost comparable to the Great White Snake, even if it was placed on the Mysterious Island, it was one of the top combat power.

"That's right, Zhao Zhuo. Can you recognize these two animals? Qin Xuebing looked over, this mermaid was well-informed in the area of paleontology.

"I've seen that big bear, and it's in the rebellious world, but you haven't seen it, it's called the cave bear. However, this cave bear is much bigger than our side of the rebel world, and it should be caused by the special environment that causes mutation. ”

Fossil evidence from various periods suggests that cave bears were found in all corners of Eurasia throughout the Pleistocene epoch between 300,000 and 15,000 years ago, and that the last cave bears lived in central and southern Europe at the end of the Pleistocene. It wasn't until the end of the last glacial period that they really began to disappear.

Cave bear skulls have been found near many caves in Europe and Asia. In individual areas, their skulls are used as dragon skulls, giving rise to many local legends. In Austria, a carving known as a dragon is clearly derived from the skull of a cave bear, and was carved around 1400 AD.

In the excavations of many caves in the Caucasus Mountains, scientists have confirmed that 6 or 7 caves contain the remains of ancient human life, while the rest of the caves are often inhabited by cave bears. Through research, among the remains of ancient human food remains, scientists have confirmed the partial remains of 2 to 6 cave bears. In Switzerland, two of the 15 caves with burrowed bear remains are also related to ancient humans, and these remains are almost certain to be in the Magdalan period; The remains of cave bears in the German Alps are also in the Magdaland period.

According to research, the number of cave bears was significantly declining long before the appearance of the Krummanon in Europe. This suggests that Neanderthals had also begun to hunt cave bears, but the rate of extinction was further exacerbated by the advent of more advanced humans with their relatively advanced tools and hunting techniques.

Through the study of cave bear fossils, it can be roughly inferred that the size of the male cave bear can reach 1,000 kilograms, and the female is much smaller, and the largest bears today are the Kodiak bear and the polar bear, which can weigh up to 800 kilograms, with an average weight of 500 kilograms. A typical cave bear skull is about 50 centimeters long, while today's bear skulls are only 20-25 centimeters.

Of course, this inference is used to analyze prehistoric cave bears, which is clearly incorrect for cave bears here. Qin Xuebing through visual inspection, this Nobita's weight is definitely more than two tons, and it may even reach three tons.

"No, cave bears seem to be herbivores. If so, it should be these birds hunting cave bears. "The beautiful snake remembers that she seems to have read a report about the eating habits of cave bears.

"Senior sister, when did you read the report?" Ye Zijing did not miss the opportunity to fight her rival in love, and talked eloquently.

Over the past 30 years, studies of the skulls, jaws and teeth of cave bears have shown that cave bears are likely to be herbivores. Furthermore. The bones of cave bears in Central and Western Europe also correspond to the skeletal characteristics of herbivores, such as low levels of nitrogen 15. There are 15 more neutrons in the nucleus of nitrogen 14 than in nitrogen 14. During feeding, animals accumulate nitrogen-15 in their bodies, much more than herbivores.

But French and Belgian researchers have analyzed the teeth of cave bears and found that cave bears are omnivores, not "vegetarians" as previously speculated.

In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, it was introduced. To test this hypothesis, and to investigate the cause of the extinction of cave bears, they selected the skulls of 40 cave bears that had hibernated in a cave in Belgium. Scratches and spots on its enamel were analyzed. Previously, scientists often used this method to judge the food composition of animals.

The researchers' latest analysis found that the cave bears are not vegetarians. Before going into hibernation. It eats a wide variety of foods, including poultry and mammals, invertebrates, seeds, and a variety of dried and fresh fruits. Like the vast majority of omnivores, it will only go into hibernation after it has stored enough energy.

"What about the birds?" Qin Xuebing decisively diverted the topic, he didn't want to fall into the battle between two women, he would definitely be in a dilemma of life and death.

But he is used to this kind of thing, and the best thing to do is to change the topic so that these two women can't fight.

From this point of view, he is still very qualified. Of course, from the point of view of women in the new century, he is absolutely unqualified. It's the kind that should be shot.

"Titan Bird, although I haven't seen it, it is recorded in the classics of the clan." Zhao Zhuo said that the history of mermaids far exceeds that of humans, and they are close to animals. There are detailed records of animals from various periods.

Sadly, many animals have been lost over the years. It's gratifying enough to see so many prehistoric animals on Mystery Island.

The Titan has a huge beak and its vestigial wings are impossible to fly, but it has evolved a pair of claws to grasp its prey. This pointed hook can easily shred prey.

It has a muscular body, a long neck, and a small head. It has a round and blunt beak, two large toes and thick thighs. The Titan Bird's forelimbs have degenerated, leaving only small wings, and its feathers are very similar to those of the emu, making it a giant bird that is good at running and jumping, but cannot fly. The Titan is a representative of the early bird's development towards largeness, and it survived harmoniously with the other animals on the island for a long time.

According to current evolutionary theory, birds are descendants of Mesozoic carnivorous dinosaurs, and the titan bird, like its "distant relative" Tyrannosaurus rex, mainly relies on the great lethality of its head and beak for hunting, with strong hind legs suitable for ambush attacks, and forelimbs, or wings, which are greatly degraded to support a heavier head while maintaining body balance.

While listening to Zhao Zhuo's introduction, he watched the battle. The battle situation on the opposite side has entered a white-hot state, and through the telescope, you can clearly see a Titan bird lying to the ground, with more air out and less air in, and there is no possibility of continuing to survive.

At this time, the beautiful snake said: "I have read a report, according to those scientific inferences, the meat of the titan bird is rich and delicious, the feathers are slender, can be used as decorations, in the past, the inhabitants of the island of Madagascar often hunted the titan bird, eat its meat, the face feathers as decorations on the body, they also use the leg bones of the titan bird to make a necklace, wear it on the chest." ”

"Brother......" Ouyang Xiaomei's eyes lit up immediately, only the ant meat seemed too monotonous, if you can get some bird meat back to stew soup, then today's dinner will be much richer.

"Gluttonous girl!" Qin Xuebing smiled helplessly, it seemed that he was inevitably going to take food from the bear's mouth.

The battle was extremely fierce, but it didn't last long, although the cave bear had many wounds on his body, he also managed to leave three Titan Birds behind, and the other Titan Birds ran away.

Qin Xuebing took Xiaolong and Jiaolong to fly to the opposite side on the Sky Eagle, preparing to grab food from the bear's mouth. At this time, Ouyang Zhanjun slapped his head hard, and hurriedly rode the Condor with the camera to follow: "I'm stupid, I should have done this just now, I can shoot at close range." ”

The cave bear roared with his head held high, finally defeated the enemy, and today's food was gone. No, everything has settled in the past few days, and the three Titan birds are enough for it to eat beautifully for three days, and then it can sleep with its belly propped up, and it doesn't have to eat again for the next half a month.

At this moment, two large birds flew over, and the cave bear glanced at it, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. This bird can be seen almost every day, and it has little ability. It will only fly around in the sky, and if it comes down, it can kill several of them with a single slap.

To its surprise, the two big birds really dared to come down, so they stopped not far away, and there were two people on the back of the birds, which belonged to creatures it had never seen.

Today he had hunted enough food and had little interest in the two big birds. It can't be eaten after killing, and it stinks after a long time, so it only has a loud roar. Just try to scare away.

But the two big birds were indifferent, which made it very angry, and these flying wastes dared to ignore Uncle Xiong. It's really unbearable to be a guest.

That being the case, then shoot them all to death, and continue to eat if you can't finish eating, it's a big deal to hold on, anyway, this kind of thing has not been done before.

Just as it was about to move, two huge animals appeared in front of it and couldn't help but stop. It admits that it had a bad eye and didn't see the two dragons suddenly grow larger. But it could sense that these two dragons were powerful and could threaten itself.

"Xiaolong, you go. Don't kill it. "Qin Xuebing has never been prepared to kill wildly on the island, as long as these monsters can't threaten him or tourists, he has no interest in making a move at all.

Oh...... The dragon's groan sounded, and the little dragon rushed out. Straight into the hole bear. In terms of size, the black bear is much larger than it, and this kind of direct collision has the smell of hitting a stone with an egg.

Ouyang Zhanjun held the camera and muttered: "Is the little dragon stupid, its most powerful thing is its tail and claws, there is no need to compete with this big dog bear." ”

However, after a collision, Ouyang Zhanjun realized that he had underestimated Xiaolong. The little guy actually knocked the cave bear out directly, and the hole bear hit a big tree again, breaking the big tree as well.

Roar...... The cave bear was furious and frantically counterattacked. At this time, Qin Xuebing patted Jiaolong: "Hurry up, get a Titan bird to swim back." ”

Qin Xuebing's purpose is very simple, to grab food from the bear's mouth. It's just that Jiaolong is a little dissatisfied, it is the king of all beasts, why can he only watch Xiaolong participate in the war and be a thief himself.

However, for the sake of Qin Xuebing's daily use of vitality to help him sort out his meridians, he reluctantly wronged himself and helped him with this.

The cave bear is extremely angry in his heart, is it easy to fight to the death by himself? Finally managed to get three Titan birds, these damn robbers dared to rob the food, it was a crime to die.

It wanted to rush over to block the dragon, but the little dragon stopped in front and couldn't break through the defense line at all, and was whipped away by the dragon with its tail several times.

"Third brother, stop shooting, let's go." Qin Xuebing was hungry for a long time, and now he wanted to go back to taste the food, but he was not interested in watching the battle here.

"Good!" Ouyang Zhanjun did not hesitate, hurriedly climbed onto the back of the Condor, and continued to shoot with the camera.

Qin Xuebing had also already climbed onto the back of the Sky Eagle and shouted, "Little Dragon, it's flashed." ”

Xiaolong decisively abandoned the cave bear, shrunk in size, jumped on Qin Xuebing, and rose with the sky eagle.

Roar...... The cave bear roared in rage, these damn bandits.

Anger had annihilated its sanity, and it jumped into a cliff to chase it down.

Qin Xuebing had already landed on the other side at this time, and Jiaolong had already returned with his prey, and when he saw the cave bear chasing after him, he couldn't help but laugh: "This stupid bear is really a stunned character, and he can't see the situation clearly." ”

After speaking, he borrowed a bazooka directly from a soldier and pulled the trigger in front of the cave bear, only to hear a boom and splash.

Whining...... The black bear turned around and left, it was very hurt, how did it run into a group of monsters.

It decided to stay away from the monsters, and as soon as it came ashore, it dragged its food deeper into the plains to avoid plundering the last of its food.

"The feathers are indeed quite beautiful, Qin, how about giving me one?" Bernard came over again, this kind of bird has only one, and there are few feathers, it is impossible for everyone to have one.

"No way!" Qin Xuebing winked at Bernard and decisively refused. There are so many bird feathers, it is not appropriate to give it to anyone or not.

"Then forget it." Bernard has long been a human spirit, and he doesn't understand what Qin Xuebing means.

A large pot was set up, fragrant everywhere, making people appetizing, even Bai Xuefei, who was in a very bad mood, had to admit that this was the rarest food in the world.

It is impossible to prepare food in this environment, and all of them are boiled in plain water in the simplest way. But even so, the aroma still makes people drool.

If you can find a chef who knows this ingredient, you will definitely learn about the most delicious food in the world.

He could even conclude that if the Ant Monster lived not on the Mysterious Island, but in the outer world, it would definitely be the first target of poachers. Even if the number of ant monsters is very large, they will quickly disappear into the long river of history.

Human beings, that's how terrifying!

"Apprentice, remember to get more back." Old Man Qin knows very well that this kind of thing is hard to find, so he won't get some back, and he wants to eat it again in the future, unless he comes to the Mysterious Island again. Is it easy to get here?

"Grandpa, don't worry!" Without Old Man Qin's explanation, Qin Xuebing would not let go of this delicacy, and he would definitely have to put a few tons of frozen in the freezer of the cruise ship. It happens that tourists consume a lot of food during this time, and there is a lot of space in the freezer.

"Get those who are alive back." The ancient can see clearly, not all of these ant monsters are dead, and some of them have fallen into a coma in the secret arts, so they can be taken back and raised, and they can eat at any time they want, and they are fresher.

"Uncle Shi, do you want me to get the queen ant back?" Qin Xuebing joked and got an ant queen back, maybe he would be able to reproduce.

"Little brother, that's right, just do it!" Ouyang Zhanjun's eyes lit up, this animal is extremely delicious, and it is unique to the Mysterious Island, if it is taken outside, it will definitely be able to sell for a high price.

At that time, there will be no need for large-scale breeding, only small-scale and high-end routes. In this way, the Ouyang family is equivalent to another way to make money.
