Chapter 423: Little Luck (3rd Update)
Seeing Olsen's sad expression, Tang Tian comforted her for a while, and the two of them then went back to their temporary camp.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a smell of bread, and it was mellow.
Sure enough, nature is the most amazing place.
The tour guide used a knife to get out the breadfruit and cut it, and the smell came out again, which really made people drool.
The fruit inside is petal-by-petal, and it is picked out and eaten directly with a knife.
Tang Tian blew a piece cold and handed it to Olsen, and then ate a piece himself.
It's sour in the mouth, and although it smells like bread, it's a lot worse to eat.
This is also normal, the African continent has plenty of sunlight and scarce water, and no matter what kind of tree it is, most of the fruit that can bear is rich in vitamins.
However, this kind of sourness is within the acceptable range of people, and it stimulates the appetite when eaten.
Olsen was having a good time eating on the sidelines.
"Whew! Oh! ”
At this moment, some baboons appeared dozens of meters away from the camp, screaming at them, and their saliva was sloppy.
They obviously smell the scents.
This should be the one they drove away before.
Olsen took a toasted breadfruit and prepared to throw it over.
"Hey, my friend, don't do that!"
The tour guide saw her actions and immediately called out to him.
"Those monkeys, it's okay if you don't give them food, if you give them food, they will attack people if they don't eat enough."
The tour guide then explained.
It's very African, even the monkeys are so lazy.
Olsen heard this and put the breadfruit down.
"Whew!"
Just then, another roar was heard outside the camp.
When the baboons heard the sound, they ran away in a blink of an eye.
"It's a lion!"
A bodyguard shouted, and everyone else picked up the guy one after another.
Guns are not banned in Nigeria, and firearms for self-defense are allowed as long as you get a permit to enter the reserve.
But in general, animals in protected areas do not attack humans, so this is an emergency.
Tang Tian protected Olsen behind him, and then turned around to follow the voice of the security guard, and found that it was a female lion who had broken into the camp, her abdomen was dripping blood, and she was limping away.
"It's it."
Olsen was a little nervous at this time, but he still recognized the female lion as the one who had attacked the buffalo herd earlier.
It seems that it is being cornered.
The lions are approaching, and the guides are already loaded with bullets.
"Don't shoot just yet, throw some of the food we brought with us."
Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
Olsen's love is more overflowing, which can be seen from saving Mei Short before, to feeling sorry for the lioness in front of him, and wanting to give the baboon breadfruit.
If the lioness was shot in front of her, her whole holiday would have been ruined.
When the bodyguard heard what he said, he immediately turned around and went to get the food.
You can shoot animals when they are in danger in the reserve, but it's also troublesome to follow the procedure, so you don't want to kill them if you don't want to.
Some of the meat products that had been made before were thrown away.
The female lion didn't dare to move at first, and after the guide motioned for everyone to back off, the female lion picked up the meat, looked at them, and then turned around and left.
The little crisis was lifted.
Tang Tian looked back and saw Olsen's happy expression, this bit of food was worth it.
Having eaten and drunk, they continued deeper into the heart of the reserve.
The reserve is large and off-limits to the rainforest, which they follow the route prescribed by the reserve, ending in the upper reaches of the Niger River.
The Niger River is the third largest river in Africa after the Nile and Congo rivers, and it is also a necessary place for the great migration of Africa.
By the time they arrived, there were already a lot of other tourists gathered there.
At this time, a herd of wildebeest gathered on one side of the river, and there were one or two thousand of them.
"My friends, you are really lucky to be able to witness the most spectacular view of the natural area as soon as you come."
The guide pulls up to a spot with a good view and beckons them to get off.
The Great Migration of Africa is one of the most spectacular scenes in Africa.
Africa is short of water, and in the summer, because there is little rain upstream, aquatic weeds cannot meet the needs of animals, so they migrate downstream with more rainfall.
This migration is not a few hundred or thousands, but tens of thousands of animals.
Wildebeests, antelopes, and zebras are the main force, and African hyenas, lions, and leopards that feed on them also follow them all the way.
The whole process is difficult and dangerous, and many animals will also thrive in this big gathering process, giving birth to more new life.
The tour guide said that they were amazing because now the wildebeest herd had arrived at the Niger River, where the Great Migration took place.
As the third largest river in Africa, even the narrowest river upstream is tens of meters long, and migratory animals can only force it to cross.
In addition to the lions and hyenas on the shore, there are also many saltwater crocodiles poking their heads out of the river.
But in order to survive, they have no choice.
Amid the cheers of the tourists, the wildebeest began to move, and they began to jump into the water in an orderly manner, and then swam hard to the other side of the river.
At this time, the crocodiles in the river seemed to be boiling, and chased wildebeest frantically.
Several wildebeest were bitten and dragged into the water to be bitten by several crocodiles, and the scene was quite tragic.
At this moment, a very touching and shocking scene appeared.
A small wildebeest was swimming too slowly and had been targeted by a crocodile.
At this moment, a wildebeest jumped into the river, swam forward as fast as he could, and then came to a halt between the small wildebeest and the crocodile.
There is a distance of about four or five meters between the two sides.
The wildebeest turned his head and gave the little wildebeest one last blank look, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, and then he was dragged into the water by the crocodile.
It didn't even struggle much.
That should be the mother of the little wildebeest.
The little wildebeest swam to the other side and stopped for a long time.
It was not until the wildebeest herd passed that she did not wait for the wildebeest mother, and finally turned around and left the shore.
Olsen couldn't hold back his crying at this time, and this scene was very touching to watch.
After a long stop by the river, they drove back.
Stops and stops along the way, taking photos and seeing the scenery are basically the main takeaways of this trip to the reserve.
More than a dozen kilometers away from the previous makeshift camp, they stopped to take one last set of scenic photos.
Then they saw another lion, but a male lion, standing in the shade of a tree, fighting with the female lion they had seen before, hungry and wounded.
Tang Tian was thinking about the time when he was going to witness the tragic world today, when the female lion who had limped and been injured before broke into their sight again.
This time, though, instead of coming towards them, it walked straight towards the male lion.
