53. Victoria's Secret (XIII)
"Roar!~"
Yang Wu walked under the baobab tree and let out a low roar, almost scaring a group of monkeys who were concentrating on finding fruit on the tree.
Although they grasped the trunk nimbly and quickly, the fruit of the baobab tree in their hands could not be saved.
"Bang, bang, bang, ......"
Like rain, more than a dozen baobab fruit fell from the monkeys' hands.
Yang Wu didn't expect that just clearing his throat to make these monkeys less unscrupulous, looking for a sense of existence, he would get so many fruits in one throat?!
"What a monkey!
Yang Wu looked for the fruit of the baobab tree that had been opened or broken, and his mouth watered when he smelled the smell.
"Tsk!tuck......"
The monkeys on the tree only reacted at this time, and they all shouted angrily, their eyes were bursting with anger, and they strongly accused Yang Wu of his evil deeds!
Their voices were full of indignation! "You say you are a lion, you don't eat meat, you come to rob us of the fruit?! You are too ashamed of the lion! We despise you!"
No matter how indignant the monkeys were, Yang Wu still went his own way and ate what he deserved.
The monkeys denounced Yang Wu for a while, and seeing that Yang Wu didn't pay attention to them, he also felt bored, so let's look for Guoguo again, anyway, there are more on the tree.
In fact, Yang Wu did not eat the fruit of the baobab tree to satisfy his hunger, but to miss the taste.
However, judging from the lion's taste, he still thinks that the meat is delicious, and this fruit is not very attractive.
After eating a few, that's it, it's not that scene anymore, that mood, and you may lose the delicious feeling you should have.
It's a feeling, monkeys, you don't understand!
Yang Wu casually ate a few fruits and left.
"Roar~!"
He took a few steps and looked back and roared.
The monkeys on the tree, who were concentrating on finding the fruit, were startled again!
"Smack!"
A monkey was frightened and shook its body because it was hooking a branch to hold the fruit with great difficulty, and broke the small branch.
"Poof", fell to the ground, but it was still relatively soft on the ground, but it was nothing.
Yang Wu was also a little speechless when he saw this scene, he originally wanted to make a joke with them, but he didn't expect another one to fall, sin! Monkey, my sin!
Today's day's food has not been settled, and Yang Wu is going to go to the front again to see if there is any suitable prey.
After walking about a kilometer forward, the heat wave was rolling, the grass was hot, and with Yang Wu's strong physique, he also felt a little hot.
"Huh?"
Yang Wu walked through a tall grass bush, and a dwarf grassland tree suddenly appeared in front of him.
He didn't pay attention to the prairie tree, but the two white rhinos that were enjoying the shade under the prairie tree!
As of 2013, according to the IUCN African Rhino Expert Group survey, there are about 20,405 white rhinoceros surviving, which is the largest number of rhinoceros.
The white rhinoceros is the most evolved, intelligent, and latest to appear in the living rhinoceros (2 million years before the Pleistocene), and has the highest intelligence of any living rhinoceros, with a brain weighing 360 grams.
The name white rhinoceros comes from the Dutch word "weit", which means "wide", and was later mistaken for "white" for their wide and flat lips, hence the name "white rhinoceros", also known as "square-billed rhinoceros".
The white rhinoceros can be divided into two subspecies, the northern white rhinoceros and the southern white rhinoceros, and the southern white rhinoceros is mainly distributed in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and other countries, and there are still about 20,000 individuals.
There are only five northern white rhinos left in Kenya and other regions of East and Central Africa, and the world's last surviving male northern white rhino "Sudan" has been removed from the horn for 24 hours to protect it by four heavily armed armed policemen in an effort to save the subspecies.
The white rhino is the second largest of terrestrial vertebrates, after the African elephant, the African forest elephant, the Asian elephant and the Indian rhino, and larger than the hippopotamus.
The body length of the white rhinoceros is 340-420 cm, the tail length is 55-65 cm, the shoulder height is 165-205 cm, and the weight is between 1300-3600 kg, 3600 kg is currently the largest individual white rhinoceros recorded, although there are more than 4000 kg of non-wild white rhinoceros in captivity.
The white rhinoceros has a round and stout body, smooth skin, about 3-4 cm thick, only the ears and tail have hair, and there is no armor formed by large folds and wrinkles, the head is long, about 120 cm, and the eyes are small, which grow on both sides of the head.
Their tubular ears can rotate and their sense of hearing is more sensitive, the cheek teeth in their mouth are very thick calcareous layers, their upper lip is flat and broad, and they are square, so they are called bottlenose rhinoceros and square snouts, and their horns are long on the nose, one large and one small, one in front and one behind.
The horn of the white rhinoceros is also the longest of all rhinoceros, with a record of 158.7 cm, slender as a whip, standing tall and very special, while usually the anterior horn is longer and slightly bent backwards, with a length of 60-90 cm, and the hind horn is shorter, about 50 cm in length, and the horn of the female is longer than that of the male. Its horns are not bony, but derivatives of epithelial tissue, made up of keratin fibers, so they do not grow on bones, but on skin, but are exceptionally hard and sharp, and are weapons for self-defense and attack.
The main habitat types of the white rhino are tropical and subtropical savannah, (sub)savanna and shrubland, which require a relatively flat terrain with shrubs as shelter, and abundant pastures and water sources.
The white rhino is gentle and gregarious, with females and calves usually living together in the herd, while adult males mostly live alone.
White rhinos have poor eyesight and rely mainly on hearing and smell, and can run at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour.
The white rhinoceros is the only herbivorous rhino species and feeds almost exclusively on short grasses.
The white rhino does not have a set estrus period and can mate all year round, and the male beast makes a strange sound when courting as a love song. Females give birth every 3 years, and the gestation period is about 547 days, and each litter only lays 1. Newborn pups weigh 45-50 kilograms, have a high-pitched cry, are hardy, and follow their mothers for three days after birth, after which they generally run in front of their mothers. The lactation period of the baby white rhino is about a year, but from 3 months onwards the baby white rhino will gnaw on the turf. At the age of 1, the weight can reach about 218 kg, and the sexual maturity is 6-9 years old. The lifespan of a white rhino is generally 35-45 years.
Yang Wu saw the white rhinos, although they were very large and should be able to provide him with a lot of life origin, but he didn't want to feed on them, first, their stock was already very small, and second, they had a gentle temperament, Yang Wu felt that they were very cute and had a good impression of them.
