983.Stealing Eggs (3/10)
The giant sequoia is the largest living creature on Earth, and of course this has to be discovered on the premise that it has been discovered. The ocean is vast, and humans have not yet explored it, and we don't know if there are any deep-sea monsters that have not yet been discovered.
Many people may be excited about the species of giant sequoia, which is one of the mahogany.
Mahogany furniture is the best in furniture, if a giant sequoia is 100 meters high and 10 meters in diameter, how much mahogany furniture can be made? But there are so many raw materials, why is mahogany furniture so expensive?
The reason is that although the giant sequoia belongs to mahogany, it cannot be made into furniture, and its texture is brittle, not only can it not be polished into furniture, but it is not even suitable for building materials. This wood is often used as roofing planks, fences or matchsticks......
In addition, they have another purpose, which is to become a nest for birds of prey such as golden eagles and bald eagles!
Qin Shiou has long known that there is a giant sequoia jungle on Mount Kanbal, but he has never entered, this kind of tree grows very vigorously, and it covers the sun all day long since spring, and the forest is full of moisture, with many rotten leaves, snakes and insects, and tourists will be warned to avoid this place when they go up the mountain.
In winter, the jungle of giant sequoia becomes a lot of depression, and the leaves fall, leaving only the branches, standing straight on the mountain, towering into the clouds, majestic and turning, and the thick trunks seem to be the chimneys of steel mills, piercing the sky!
Father Qin stood outside the woods and looked up, muttering, "God, why is this tree so tall!" How young is it? Little gull, no wonder you run here and refuse to go home, what do you say here, environmental protection is really good! ”
Qin Shiou said with a smile: "Environmental protection is good, but in fact, it has nothing to do with this kind of tree, this tree has no use." You can't build a house, you can't polish the furniture, and it's a lot of effort to cut it. Who's going to collect it? ”
Again, there is no buying and selling, no killing. Not to mention the danger of cutting down the giant sequoia, the tree dozens of meters high fell down with a bang, and the tree was fragile, and the trunk would basically be damaged, so neither the state nor the private person would cut down the giant sequoia.
Of course, no one is going to maintain it either.
Now people have set up so many protected areas, wild animals and rare plants have to be protected. In fact, the vitality of animals and plants is very tenacious, if there is no human persecution, there is no need for protection at all, they can grow well on their own.
The giant sequoia jungle ground was full of rotting leaves and snow, and the shade here was large, and it was difficult for the sun to shine in, so the snow was thicker, and Qin Shiou stepped on it, and it didn't reach his knees at once. Iverson hurriedly dragged him out.
If such a group of people cannot enter, they will not know what Bush Jr. is going to do.
Bird took out the binoculars and searched for it, then handed it to Qin Shiou, pointed in the direction and said, "BOSS." Look over there. ”
Qin Shiou looked at it, and in the lens, he clearly saw the figure of George W. Bush. Nimitz hovered and flew higher, while George W. Bush stepped on a thick branch. And King Simba doesn't know where to go.
Unable to find the little lynx, Qin Shiou was in a hurry. He searched left and right, and suddenly saw a huge lair.
The nest is really huge, with an outer diameter of nearly 2 meters and a height of 1 and a half meters, and it is made up of dead branches piled up in the shape of a disc, and if you look closely through the binoculars, you can see that the nest is covered with twigs, pine needles, grass stems, fur and other things.
What bird in the Campal Mountains would build its nest so high and so big? Qin Shiou suddenly remembered the golden eagle who had beaten Nimitz and was unbearable, but was eventually pecked out by Nimitz in the end!
They came to climb the mountain last autumn, and they saw the one-eyed golden eagle still wandering on this mountain, and it also found a female eagle to marry a couple, so this nest is naturally theirs.
Qin Shiou continued to search, and after his vision swept over Bush Jr. and Nimitz a few times, he suddenly had a feeling that Nimitz was hovering in the air, as if he was sentry, and Bush Jr. shrank on a branch and looked around, how could he look like a thief?
Suddenly, Qin Shiou had a conjecture, he immediately put the telescope on the nest, and soon after, the fat head of the little lynx was exposed.
It timidly swept left and right, and then opened its mouth to Bush Jr., who immediately flew up, stretched out his big rough claws and pinched its back, lifting it up.
Qin Shiou was shocked to see that King Simba's four paws were firmly holding a gray-brown egg, just like a mouse stealing an egg, and his limbs were clasped in......
"it! These little bastards, I'm going to have to let Winnie smoke them to death when I go back! They steal the eggs of the golden eagle! Qin Shiou scolded angrily, as if he saw his son stealing other people's things.
It's better not to learn!
After expressing this emotion, Qin Shiou felt that something was wrong, damn it, he had always sat upright and walked upright, never through anything, not to mention Winnie, the four children were very self-disciplined, so who did they learn from the vice?
Hearing Qin Shiou's roar, the group gathered around and asked what was wrong, at this time Bush Jr. had already slowly flown down, it flew cautiously, its paws easily and cautiously grasping Simba, Simba was almost scared to death, holding the giant egg the size of a baby's head.
After flying down, Bush Jr. went straight to Qin Shiou, Qin's father saw this scene clearly, and said hesitantly: "What are these two children doing?" Why do you look so much like a mouse stealing eggs in the early years of my hometown? ”
Qin Shiou scolded in English just now, but the old man didn't understand.
It's true, Qin Shiou was fortunate to see a mouse stealing eggs when he was a child, and the big mouse can really do what he did in the cartoon, one looked up to the sky and held the egg on all fours, and the other opened his mouth and bit its tail and dragged it into the nest.
Now Simba is the 'mouse' holding the egg, and Bush Jr. doesn't have to drag it, it catches and flies.
Qin Shiou hurriedly opened his arms to hug the little lynx, and after he waited for him to hold it steadily, Bush Jr. opened his paws, flapped his wings and quacked, looking triumphant, and flew up again after whistling twice.
"Come back, come back to Lao Tzu!" Qin Shiou shouted.
The little lynx let go of the golden eagle egg in its arms, and hurriedly got into his hood, it poked its head out to look, and saw Bush Jr. flying down, and quickly retracted its whole body into the hood, obviously being tormented by Bush Jr.
Qin Shiou was so angry that he scolded: "How the fuck did these little guys learn to steal other people's eggs? I can't go back and let Winnie teach them a hard lesson! ”
Bird looked at the egg and said, "This is a golden eagle egg, right?" Yes, it's a golden eagle egg, I've caught egg thieves before, I've seized this thing, that's what it looks like. ”
He paused and said to Qin Shiou: "BOSS, don't be angry, you can't blame Bush Jr. and Nimitz, they are forgivable for stealing this golden eagle egg." ”
Qin Shiou said angrily: "The golden eagle is a protected bird, how can you steal its eggs?" (To be continued......)
