Chapter 310: The Platypus (4/5)

Wang Hao also did not dare to say whether it was gold or chalcopyrite, because the two ores were very similar and people often made mistakes. He didn't specialize in ores, so he had to play with these two stones and put them in the space ring, and let people who knew how to see them when he returned.

No matter what, Wang Hao still gently patted some magic power into the crocodile's body, which was a small reward, "I actually know how to give me the baby, and I didn't raise you in vain." ”

Wang Hao didn't dare to use the ripening technique on the crocodile at all, because after performing it a few times before, the crocodile's size increased significantly and began to develop twice.

As the oldest creatures on Earth, crocodiles have a long history of genes that can grow into giant monsters once activated.

Wang Hao didn't want to get a monster out with his own hands, so he had to use simple magic power to inject it into the crocodile's body, which could only relieve the cravings, and had no substantive effect, at most, it was to make the scale armor hard and beautiful, and make the teeth sharper.

After receiving Wang Hao's praise, the crocodile didn't say anything, it returned to its original position and continued to bask in the sun, and then closed its eyes to sleep.

After sitting with the crocodile for a while, Wang Hao was a little dizzy, he quickly moved to the shade of the tree, and then walked slowly downstream along the lakeside.

The druid's aura allows him to swagger after the mallard, or he can take out his phone and take a selfie with an osprey, none of which regard him as an enemy.

The scale of Wild Duck Lake is very large, and Wang Hao occasionally bends down to pick up flat stones to float, and the stones jump quickly over the water. I jumped five or six times before I stopped.

A cool breeze blows from the surface of the lake, dissipating the summer heat. Wang Hao slowly came to the exit of the lake, which looked relatively quiet. The water in the small valley is gentle and the water is not clear.

Suddenly, Wang Hao saw two bubbles gurgling out of the water, and then a duck's beak came out. At first he thought it was a stray mallard diving to catch fish, but after a few seconds he realized he might be lucky.

The strange creature, which was only a little more than a foot long, slowly surfaced for a breath, and it was indeed oddly shaped, with a wide duck beak, webbed duck feet, and a body covered with animal hair.

It's no wonder that the early British got the platypus specimen from Australia. Many prominent biologists agree that this specimen was a forgery made from a patchwork of several different animals.

This is Australia's national treasure platypus, Wang Hao came to Australia for so long and it was the first time he saw a wild platypus, but he didn't expect that this animal, which was determined by scientists to only grow in Tasmania and South Australia, would actually appear in the pasture.

Perhaps because the environment is particularly well protected here, and it is sparsely populated, the platypus living here has never been discovered. As a small tributary of the Murray River, it is suitable for its growing conditions, both in terms of climate and food.

The platypus gently swam in a circle on the surface of the water. He is a natural swimmer. It is covered with soft fur, like a fine waterproof coat, and has an extremely wide and flat mouth. It is attached to the head like a mask, resembling a duck's beak, and has a soft texture. It's like leather.

Terry the platypus is cute, but it's one of the few mammals that uses poison to protect itself. On the back of the knee of the male platypus there is a hollow spine. When stabbing an enemy with its hind limbs, it releases venom. Platypus secretes poison to show their dominance during the mating season. The male platypus secretes toxins through small barbs under the paws of its feet

Encountering a platypus in the wild should never be taken lightly. Because the toxins in these little guys are very complex, different combinations have different detoxification methods, and if they are mistaken, they can easily cause symptoms such as inflammation, nerve damage, muscle contraction, blood clotting, and even death.

However, platypuses are shy, and usually sleep in hidden burrows during the day, and they can be seen foraging in the early morning and evening, but they only emerge when they need to breathe, so it is difficult to take clear pictures.

And Wang Hao was obviously lucky, and along the way, he actually saw five or six different platypus! These ancient creatures that existed 25 million years ago have apparently made their home here for many years, and Wang Hao doesn't want to bother them by taking pictures.

Once someone is discovered, animal protection personnel will definitely come to protect it, but no matter what form of protection, it will break the peace. Wang Hao would rather not say anything, just let this group of little guys survive and reproduce here.

The platypus is a mammal, although the mother also secretes milk to feed the young, but it is not viviparous but oviparous, which is also the most amazing species on the earth, and scientists cannot classify them, only to say that this is a miracle of nature, a model of reptile to mammalian evolution.

Reluctantly watching the group of little guys return to their lair, Wang Hao wrote down the location and then turned back, he was going to warn the crocodile, but don't rush down and prey on the wild platypus.

On the contrary, he even wants the crocodiles to act as guardians of these wild platypus, which are comparable to giant pandas, to protect them from other predators.

The Golden Ranch is not large, but there are many kinds of animals in it, and the common animals in Australia can basically be seen, and several of Australia's most representative rare animals are also here.

From time to time, kangaroos jump past the living area, koalas who wake up and eat and fall asleep when they wake up on eucalyptus trees, Australian ostriches and emus who are regarded as their source of income, and this group of wild platypus.

Sure enough, the mountain is not high, and there are immortals. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. This small ranch is full of spirit and the environment is suitable for a variety of animals.

Now that there are holy oaks regulating the surrounding climate, it is expected that more animal traces will be found in the future, making this an animal kingdom.

It was a beautiful accident to meet the platypus, Wang Hao felt that it was really worth it to come out this time, so the hard-to-find pasture naturally could not be sold.

Trying to communicate with the crocodile, Wang Hao tried to tell the crocodile his thoughts, but he couldn't read minds after all, and he didn't know if the crocodile listened to it.

In a good mood, he rode a motorcycle on the vast grassland, and then suddenly a fire fox rushed out of the grass and followed the locomotive on all fours.

When Ahri came out to hunt hares, he happened to see Wang Hao riding by, so he even left his prey behind and ran wildly to catch up with Wang Hao.

Stopping the car, Wang Hao sat on the grass and rubbed Ahri's hair, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go back to the living area to see us now?" If I hadn't happened to meet you this time, I would still be thinking that you were skinned by someone else! ”

Ahri's fur is very valuable, so Wang Hao doesn't dare to let people with bad intentions see it. And Ahri himself is used to life in the wild, and returning to the living area always makes him a little uncomfortable.

Hearing Wang Hao's words, Ahri waved his front paws and turned sideways disdainfully, as if he would not be so bad. (To be continued......)
