Chapter 31 Bear Training
Li Cheng, who returned to reality, was busy in the space for a day, exhausted, if he hadn't eaten the golden rice and golden carrots grown in the space, it is estimated that he would have lost his strength a long time ago, and it can be seen that the vegetables and staple foods grown in it still have a certain effect, at least it will make people feel infinitely energetic! Considering the particularity of the ingredients in the space, Li Cheng felt that he was not short of this money, in addition to the expenses for buying the ranch and the money remitted to his parents, he still had 8 million Canadian dollars in his account, so why take the risk to develop things in the space?
If something comes for no reason, once the amount is too much, it is easy to make people suspicious, and it is in a foreign country, and when you are not familiar with the place, it is even more necessary to keep it secret.
Therefore, he felt that this kind of planting was more cost-effective to breed horses, cattle and sheep that already existed in addition to his own use.
"Let's experiment with the horses, cattle and sheep that came with it, and feed them for a month to see how it goes." Li Cheng still feels that he does not fully control the operation of the grizzly bear ranch, there is no need to increase the scale of breeding, now the ranch is owned by him, not leased, there is no need to worry about the time, if the scale is increased, the cost of forage will drag Li Cheng down, and now the price of forage has begun to soar, increase the intensity of feeding, which means that the daily expenses will increase, in the absence of opening the market, Li Cheng's current idea is to keep the success, not to actively carry out the work, After adapting to the life and operation of the ranch to be able to increase the proportion of capital investment, Li Cheng was still in the exploration stage in the early stage, and did not generate profits, basically in a state of loss, of course, it is currently a small loss, and it has not had any impact on Li Cheng.
After waking up the next day, Li Cheng ran to the warehouse to visit Xiong Da and Xiong Er, and he didn't see him for a day or so, the two bears smelled Li Cheng's smell and ran over, rubbing Li Cheng affectionately, and when he went to the rattlesnake tribe, Li Cheng handed over the little grizzly bears to Deku and others to take care of, it seems that in addition to routine feeding, there is no interaction with them, the little grizzly bears of this age are basically equivalent to human children about 2-3 years old, and they are an active age, Li Cheng fed a pot of minced beef, and took out a basket of carrots, Grizzly bears are omnivores, carrots are also their favorite, eating some fruit after meals is good for the health of grizzly bears, these days to keep them in the warehouse, but also really stuffy bears, bear two, so feed the two little grizzly bears, Li Cheng tied the chain as usual, led them around the ranch for a walk, smelling the fragrance of the grass, under the slight weight of the pull of his hands, Li Cheng was very passive to speed up the pace, controlling the direction of the two grizzly bears made Li Cheng a little focused.
"When Xiong Da and Xiong Ertou grow up, I won't be able to hold it at all, I still have to train from an early age, lest I grow up and be disobedient, and it will be a big trouble." Li Cheng thought of the advice given by Claire before, which showed that the Calgary Zoo was extremely interested in the two grizzly bears and might find fault with him, so Li Cheng had to be careful, lest those guys find an opportunity, then Li Cheng's hard-won adoption procedures would be invalid.
How to train bears, in this regard, Li Cheng has no experience to talk about at all, and he has raised a few Chinese pastoral dogs in his hometown when he was a child, which is completely free-range, and there is nothing jishu to speak of.
The reason why he raised bears, in addition to being a whim, Li Cheng went abroad and also wanted to experience the fun of breeding some wild animals, which can be regarded as catching ducks on the shelves.
It is not difficult for laymen to ask for sheep and wild animals, but to really tame them, it is not a simple thing, there are special falconry trainers in China, maybe you can ask them for advice, but Li Chengyuan is in Canada, if you return to China, you will inevitably have to toss, and the falconry trainers are in the north of the motherland, Li Cheng, who is not familiar with that place, may be in vain if he goes, after all, the skill of eagle training is a craft handed down from generation to generation by their ancestors, and it will not be so easy to recognize people, and eagle training and bear training always have to say, There is still a difference.
"Eskimos seem to be bear trainers, huh? Eskimos in the Arctic Circle often tame polar bears, as I read in that book. When Li Cheng was in Canada, he read some English novels, and one of them told a story, that is, the story of the Eskimo people taming the polar bear.
Grizzly bears and polar bears are a subspecies, the difference is not very big, many of the habits of life are basically the same, if the Eskimos really master the skills of taming polar bears, then grizzly bears should also be able to tame.
Li Cheng took Xiong Da and Xiong Er to walk around the pasture, turned back to the ranch, everyone had already gotten up, after bolting the little grizzly bear, Li Cheng began to clean the horse's back for the red rabbit, add forage and pasture, everything was in full swing, almost done, Noah was late, it is estimated that Li Cheng's actions last night made Noah sleepy, and he got up a little late today.
"Hey! Boss, I admired your courage last night, if you run into the national forest alone, if the glory of Itsana fails, then you will be surrounded by wolves! As soon as Noah thought of this, he immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly, attracting the attention of old Peake.
"No wonder I wasn't restless last night, Cheng, you're doing dangerous moves again." Old Peake was not surprised by this, but he didn't expect the Chinese to have such a strong spirit of adventure now.
Li Cheng smiled innocently, deliberately changed the topic, brushed the horse's back, patted the red rabbit's armor, and then said: "Noah, I heard that the Inuit are good at taming polar bears, and the rattlesnake tribe has tamed grizzly bears in national parks?" ”
"The Inuit of the Arctic Circle have tamed polar bears, but few people will train bears, and the behemoth polar bears are the overlords of the Arctic Circle, and even the beluga whales in the ice can be slapped to death!" Noah said this, he was still quite afraid of bears, after all, this giant beast that stood several meters taller than humans was terrifying.
"Oh, then you'll train a bear? You also know, I adopted two grizzly bears, if I can't get them to listen to me, then it is inevitable that they will be sent to the Calgary Zoo when they become adults......" Li Cheng knows very well that the zoo pays attention, it is nothing more than bullying Li Cheng is a layman, the little grizzly bear is relatively not very aggressive in its juvenile stage, and it cannot cause harm to humans, but once it becomes an adult, its strong physique and lethality may even be eaten by the owner, so in the open air, it is impossible for the grizzly bear to leave the ranch range, And they have to be locked in an iron cage at any time, and the food provided every day is also an astronomical amount, if you can tame the grizzly bears and let them obey Li Cheng's orders, it is also a good thing to act as an expert in hunting!
And Li Cheng feels that when he goes out hunting in the future, he can also release wolves for collaborative hunting, so the effect of his hunting can be imagined.
Noah said while brushing the horse: "I still have a little experience in training bears, and I heard the old man of my ancestors say that the most important thing in training bears is to cultivate the resoluteness to carry out the master's orders from an early age. ”
"How?"
"Hungry! Hungry grizzly bears will sense your changes and can be hungry for a few days, and when they are hungry, you let them learn your movements, and then give them food to eat, come and go, and slowly master your gestures and instructions, of course, this process is very long. Noah understands the habits of animals very well, if the grizzly bear is in a state of food and clothing all the time, it will not obey the instructions of humans at all, and it will not be able to make the little grizzly bear really understand the orders of humans if it is trained like play.
"This is a solution, well, I'll give it a try, now that the bears are in the development period, if they don't train, they won't have time, do you want to take them to hunt?"
"This is a must, wild beasts can only be wild when they see blood, and those who have been kept in captivity are dogs!" Noah talked about dogs, and Li Cheng realized that this kid is still an expert in dog breeding! There are also many dogs in the rattlesnake tribe, such as huskies, shepherds, and the like.
Li Cheng continued to ask: "If you have a puppy, can you feed milk?" ”
"No, this is a common sense problem, the dog's stomach can not adapt to milk, easy to diarrhea, is not good for the growth and development of the dog, it is recommended that if you want to raise a dog, or feed it professional dog dairy products, or goat milk."
Noah is an expert in dog ownership, and since he was a child, the Eskimos have had several dogs, and as a loyal friend of humans, he has always been a good companion for their hunting.
Li Cheng said secretly: "Not good! The little wolves in the Crystal Palace, I stole two cows for them, and now they've been drinking for so long, don't anything happen? ”
He has always felt that wolves are the ancestors of dogs, and there are many things in common, if dogs can't drink milk, then can't wolves either?
At this time, Deku counted the cattle and found that there were two white cows missing, and reported it to Li Cheng.
"I guess it was the last time the grizzly bear invaded, it frightened the cattle and ran away, it's ......nothing," Li Cheng finished speaking, and said to Noah: "So the wolf cub can drink milk?" ”
Although Noah was puzzled by Li Cheng's question, he was the right person, the rattlesnake tribe used to raise a few wolves in the past, and later released them into the mountains and forests, so there is an authoritative explanation for raising wolves.
"Although wolves and dogs have something in common, the stomach of wolves is not as delicate as that of dogs, and I can tell you for sure that wolves can drink milk!"
"Oh? Then I'll rest assured......" After Li Cheng got a positive answer, he was still not at ease, he found a lot of information on the Internet, and saw an article about the experience of wolf breeders, talking about the knowledge of feeding milk, and finally let go of the hanging heart, if the litter of wolf cubs is sick, it is definitely not possible to go to the veterinarian openly, so in terms of feeding the wolf cubs, it is still necessary to inquire more about this knowledge.
Bear training has a clear guiding ideology, and after that, it is implemented.
