Chapter 727: Catching the Arctic Fox
Just as Bi Fang was thinking about how to leave safely, the polar bear lying on the ice suddenly moved.
Everyone tensed their nerves, but soon they knew that the polar bear was not targeting Bi Fang, but was attacking the creatures under the ice.
With the sound of water splashing, a fat seal emerges from the sea, nothing more than being bitten by a polar bear on the neck.
"Looks like it's not targeting me."
Bi Fang's tone was relaxed, and he crawled back.
If the polar bear didn't catch the seal, he would have to worry a little, but now, Bi Fang doesn't have to worry, no one will skip a big meal, go to eat toast, or big leba bread, and the same is true for animals.
Nutrient-rich seals are an important part of the winter for polar bears, and in order to keep warm, seals also accumulate a lot of fat, which is the favorite of polar bears.
A 100-pound seal is enough to provide energy for a polar bear for 8 days.
However, when polar bears are well fed, they only eat the fat part of the seal and discard the meat because they prefer calorie-dense fats, which is why arctic foxes, which are less predatory in winter, follow the bears in search of food.
One of their sources of subsistence is leftover meat from polar bears.
[Ma Dan, almost scared to death]
[Who is honest, even if the polar bear really has something to think about Bi Fang, it is not necessarily Lao Fang who has an accident in the end (covering his face)]
[This is true, I have slaughtered several bears on this trip]
[Polar bears are still different, right?]
The smell of blood gradually wafted through the air, and the polar bear munched on it as Bi Fang slowly left.
[Anyway, polar bears don't hibernate?] 】
[Yes, I remember that it seems that polar bears hibernate]
"Polar bears hibernate depending on the situation, if there is food, polar bears will not hibernate, if not, they will, and if it is a pregnant female bear, they will basically hibernate."
"The hibernation of bears is also very different from other animals, even if they hibernate, sometimes they will suddenly wake up and go up to a circle, and the muscle strength and bone atrophy of bears during hibernation do not change much, but if people lie down for a few months without any activity, they will definitely have muscle atrophy and osteoporosis."
Bi Fang withdrew fifty meters away, stood up again, and looked at the polar bear that was still eating not far away.
"Winter is actually an important season for polar bears to hunt seals, and in the summer, polar bears are much less able to forage."
"The main reason is that polar bears rely heavily on ice floes, and on stable and suitable sea ice, polar bears will be successful every 5-6 times. On open water sea ice, polar bears' success rate in preying on seals drops to less than 5%. ”
"We were actually lucky to see a polar bear catch a seal, which is very unlikely."
Polar bears usually have two types of hunting patterns, the most commonly used being the "waiting" method.
Seals use their sharp claws to leave 10-15 breathing holes in the ice, and they surface in one of them about every 5-15 minutes, and polar bears wait for them near one of their breathing holes, sometimes for hours, but sometimes for days.
Polar bears wait for hours until the seals emerge before launching a surprise attack. Use a sharp claw to drag the seal out of the breathing hole.
Another mode is to attack seals near the coast, which is a normal hunting activity.
"An interesting statistic shows that polar bears spend most of their lives about 66.6% 'static', such as sleeping, lying down to rest, or waiting for their prey. 29.1% of the time walking or swimming on land or on ice. 1.2% of the time in raiding prey and enjoying delicious food. ”
"So it's really rare to be able to see the polar bear hunting scene."
After eating and drinking, Bi Fang saw the polar bear carefully cleaning his hair. Remove food residue and blood from your body, keep your body fresh and clean, and then leave slowly with your ass shaking.
After the polar bear disappeared, several small white objects jumped out, which was really the arctic fox that Bi Fang had tracked before.
"Heh, I didn't leave."
Bi Fang smiled, he didn't even notice where these little guys were hiding just now, after all, the white hair was too deceptive, almost integrated with the environment, so he thought he had run away, but he didn't expect it to come back.
After making sure that the polar bear ran away, Bi Fang directly stepped forward and drove the arctic fox away, and the audience was dumbfounded.
[Good guy, Lao Fang, you have also learned to bully the weak now? ] 】
[I misread you]
[The arctic fox is so cute, can it be a pet?] 】
[Wait for it to become a fine and turn into a human form.] 】
[Yes, as long as you don't dislike the smell of foxes. 】
"The body odor of the arctic fox is not strong, only the urine is unpleasant, and it is no different from the average carnivore." Bi Fang, who has a keen sense of smell, has the right to speak.
drove away the arctic fox, Bi Fang did not directly take away the remaining seal meat, but directly set up a trap in the same place, and the audience was stunned.
As an adult, Bi Fang said that he wanted them all, and in order to reduce the vigilance of the other party, Bi Fang also took away more than half of the seal meat.
Sure enough, the Arctic fox, who was reluctant to leave, was fooled, and as an opportunist, he would not miss it if he had food.
It wasn't until Bi Fang grabbed the fox's neck that it regretted not doing it at the beginning.
It's just that after being fooled for the first time, the Arctic fox behind was a lot smarter, and they scattered in a hurry and never approached again.
Bi Fang happily tied the limbs of the arctic fox and stroked the fur of the arctic fox, I have to say that the feel is really good: "Hey, this is the first living creature I have caught for so long." ”
[Nonsense, doesn't the fish you catch count?] 】
"I mean land animals."
Bi Fang didn't care, to be honest, seeing the Arctic fox so cute, he couldn't bear to eat it, "Just use it as a reserve of food." ”
Carrying the bound fox, Bi Fang found the sleigh tied to the spot, put it back, and drove the dog away.
These days, there is always a harvest of bits and pieces, and there are times when they miss, the Arctic Rabbit and the Arctic Fox are more difficult types to catch, the rabbit has caught two, the taste is good, and the fox is the first time.
On the eightieth day of survival, the time has entered January, and coincidentally, Bi Fang once again encountered a polar bear at close range, this time he met a big man.
It's just that the distance is more than fifty meters, and when the other party chased after him, Bi Fang escaped with his superb driving skills.
[Anyway, didn't I hear that polar bears are having a miserable time now?] Why did Lao Fang meet all fat people? 】
"Therefore, he died a long time ago." Bi Fang was speechless, "And the polar bears in Greenland are not the same as those in other places. ”
