Chapter 822: Ostrich

On the desert, the huge ostrich wings with black and white feathers were cut off little by little by Bi Fang with a dagger.

A big meal.

This ostrich is already an adult, still a male, to say the least, more than two hundred catties, and the badly injured cobra will never be able to eat.

The reason why he deliberately watched this bird and snake battle was that Bi Fang did not have the intention of picking up the omissions.

"The snake's jaw is loosely attached to the skull only by ligaments, it has a pair of bones at the jaw joint, allowing the jaw to be hinged at two points in the skull, and the ligaments are strong and soft, so that when it swallows, this structure is able to dislocate and expand so much that they can open their jaws up to 150 degrees."

"Secondly, the bones between the left and right jaws of the snake are connected into movable tenons, which are connected by ligaments and can be stretched to the sides. Thus, the snake's mouth can not only be opened up and down, but also left and right, and can expand very large to a certain extent, so that it can swallow something much larger than their mouth. ”

"The reason why they have evolved such abilities is that they cannot chew and can only satisfy their needs by swallowing prey large enough at once."

Snake teeth are thin and sharp, not suitable for chewing at all, and the teeth of animals suitable for chewing have blunt teeth, and the sharp teeth cannot grind the food and digest it, and the snake teeth can only play a fixed role when catching animals

"But for cobras, more than two hundred pounds of ostriches, it can't swallow even if it is killed, and some underage pythons are enough to choke, so they are all cheap for us."

Before hunting, the snake will evaluate whether it can eat it, and if it can't eat, it won't shoot, if it can't eat, the snake will open its mouth to the limit first, and if it can't, the snake will give up the prey.

This time it was clearly not a cobra hunting ostrich, but a battle of defense in reverse.

Venom has always been a weapon for the weak to kill the strong, although the probability is small, but it is not impossible.

"But I really didn't expect the cobra to kill the ostrich at first, my original idea was to pick up the cobra, but I didn't expect to pick up a big leak!"

Although ostriches can eat snakes, it is very unlikely that they will eat them all.

This is a semi-desert and semi-grassland area, and for players at the top of the food chain like ostriches, they often have the qualifications of "picky eaters", and they basically can't eat cleanly.

A cobra is also big enough that there are usually quite a few left.

But how can there be more ostriches left, it belongs to luck, these more than 200 catties, and then almost no need to worry about food.

The only thing to worry about is storage.

[Leak King! 】

[Despicable, too despicable! 】

[I thought there would be a dragon fight, but this handful of birds couldn't stop so quickly. 】

Unable to fly, the ostrich's feathers were extremely soft and felt very good, and Bi Fang was also careful not to stain its feathers with blood, first digging holes in the side of the neck, and then letting the blood while it was hot.

There is no good means of storage, and the containers are used to hold regular fresh water, which can only be wasted.

The blood gathered in the bunker, and a strong fishy smell came out, and it was constantly smoking under the scorching sun.

After the bloodletting, Fang began to dismember, using a sharp obsidian dagger to swim over the ostrich's body, cutting through the thick cortex, and then pulling it away, revealing a blood-red layer of musculature.

"In the wilderness, no part of the animal you hunt should be discarded, and the large animal can provide fresh meat, and the rest of the meat can be preserved, and the other inedible parts can be used to make clothes or tools."

"And, we're going to get the entrails out as soon as possible."

Bi Fang squatted on the ground and broke open the ostrich's abdomen, gushing out a large amount of internal organs.

It was all taken out and placed in separate categories, and the stomach pouches were heavy and extremely thick.

Bi Fang cut both ends of it, and suddenly, a large amount of sand and gravel mixed with stomach acid gushed out.

"Ostriches don't have teeth, so they can't chew, and they have large stomachs, which are usually sand and gravel that they usually eat, which is gravel that helps them grind their food."

"So the stomach of the ostrich is called the sand sac, which is very thick, and after the food enters the sand sac, it will be ground into small pieces to facilitate intestinal absorption, and it can be said that they have never eaten enough."

Running down the back of the stomach pouch is a long intestine, which is very long.

"The intestines of ostriches are 14 meters, which is twice the size of humans."

[In other words, this bird is so big]

【What a big bird】

[No wonder there are more than 200 catties, it's too much]

Bi Fang squatted on the ground, and with a reference, the audience could see how big the ostrich was.

Seen from the front, the ostrich's corpse was almost as tall as Bi Fang who had crouched down!

"Normal, in fact, the height of an ostrich is the calculated body height, just like the height of the shoulders like a horse, if you count the head, most male ostriches are taller than humans, they are still very oppressive, and their strength is also very large, and they can carry adult males to walk."

"Speaking of which, I still have the light of the Egyptian cobra, otherwise it would never have been possible to eat this ostrich."

"In the wild, it is generally believed that the four subspecies of North Africa, Somalia, Masai and South Africa are still very distinguishable, and the neck color and feather characteristics are obvious, and this is the North African subspecies in front of us."

"There are not many subspecies in North Africa, unlike the South African subspecies, so they are protected, and if it weren't for the natural death in front of everyone, I wouldn't have been able to actively hunt."

It is a well-known fact that Bi Fang does not touch key protected animals, on the one hand, it strictly abides by the treaty, and on the other hand, it takes the initiative to maintain the ecological balance and set an example.

As a public figure, if you eat this bowl of rice, you have to bear this fruit.

It doesn't make sense that Bi Fang has developed by live broadcasting, and he can do whatever he wants.

If it is in China, Bi Fang will go one step further, and will not even touch protected animals that have died of natural causes, because it is a legal law.

You can't open this opening, otherwise next time everyone will have an excuse to say that the animal died of natural causes.

Fortunately, it is now a foreign country, although it is generally not possible to eat protected animals that have died naturally, and the restraint is not so strong.

For Bi Fang, who has a professional hunter certificate, he is able to take the initiative to handle and protect animal carcasses.

Moreover, this is also a witness to everyone.

Skillfully cutting along the body structure of the ostrich, Bi Fang completely removed all parts of the ostrich, and also peeled off the complete ostrich skin.

"Ostrich feathers are soft, plump and elegant, and have excellent thermal insulation performance, and ostrich feathers are the only feathers that do not have static electricity, which can wipe precision industrial instruments, and are the best ingredients for the garment industry, we can take them off and make a small cloak, which is also very good."

The Sahara is cold at night, and some protection is still needed.

After taking the ostrich meat, Bi Fangyou stared at half of the cobra's tail for a while, not knowing whether to take it or not.

After thinking about it, I gave up.

Snakes eat their own tails.

It's not that it's a parasite, but that after eating half full, it arouses an exuberant appetite. Look around for food to swallow, and in the process, you suddenly find a moving tail, so you swallow it.

Snakes are creatures of low intelligence and do not think that their tails and bodies are their own, and if they do not feel pain, they may actually devour them.

"Snakes in the wild generally do not devour themselves in a wide environment, but in a small environment where they are bred alone, without the interference of other things, they are particularly easy to find their tails."

"In addition to a strong appetite, there are environmental pressures and so on......"

"Although dogs also bite their tails, it is more for itching and playing."

"The cobra has been seriously injured and will not survive, but everything is not absolute, it may come back and eat its own tail."

"If we take it, it may be ruined."

There is enough ostrich meat, and the Sahara is hot, and the food is prone to spoilage, and it is impossible to eat another cobra.

With a large amount of ostrich meat, Bi Fang quickly left the canyon, which was full of blood, and immediately began to process the ostrich meat after walking out.

In order to preserve, it is natural to remove the moisture in it, and making it into jerky is the best way.

For this reason, until the night, Bi Fang did not stop the smoking work.

No life can do without water, and the same goes for bacteria and microorganisms, without which they cannot survive.

Therefore, bacon, sausages, and dried grains are stored for a long time and are not easy to spoil.

It would be better if it could be pickled, the concentration of salt in the pickled food increases, and the moisture of the bacterial cells continues to seep into the food, and the bacteria lose water and die.

Therefore, the shelf life of pickled products is also long. as

Pickled and dried, it's simply king fried, with a shelf life of several years, and it's okay for decades, just like ham.

It's just that it requires a lot of salt, which Bi Fang can collect, but he doesn't have it on hand.

However, the smoking is enough, and it will be successfully crossed in about another month, and there is no need to last that long.

You can also eat barbecue by the way.

To remove moisture, you can't use roasting, you can only smoke and dried, and Bi Fang made a rack on which to hang the meat.

There was no idle on the fire below, roasting today's dinner.

It was a huge ostrich leg with cuts on it, making it easy to taste and roast.

The firewood crackled, and a little fire drifted out in the darkness, illuminating Bi Fang's face red.

The plants of the Sahara are very dry and easy to burn, but they are not resistant to burning, and the same burning time and scale require more wood to be consumed.

"Although this ostrich was poisoned by a snake, I have always said that snake venom is mainly composed of protein and peptides, which can be killed by high temperatures, so birds bitten by poisonous snakes, as long as they have not deteriorated, can be taken back to eat, and can even supplement protein, but the premise is that they must be cooked at high temperature for a long time before they can be eaten with confidence."

Snake venom has two functions, anesthetic and digestive juices, and the chemical essence is basically protein.

Even if it is not denatured by heating, when the protein reaches the stomach, its peptide chain will be broken and denatured under the action of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, and the spatial structure of the molecule will be destroyed by gastric juice, so that it will lose its activity and function and be converted into non-toxic substances.

Animals bitten to death by poisonous snakes are actually equivalent to pre-digestion, and theoretically there is nothing wrong with eating them directly, but it is necessary to confirm that there is no damage to the human mouth and digestive tract.

"The only thing to pay attention to is that animals that have been bitten by poisonous snakes must be eaten in time, otherwise they will rot faster than normal ones after a long time."

"There is a special race in Africa, it is rumored that they used snake venom as a weapon when hunting, and there is a local poisonous snake called the bulging belly viper, which can poison a strong bison in a short time, and people see its strength, so they use it to catch bison and feast on it."

"But instead of applying snake venom to the bow and arrow, they are more intelligent, and when they catch the snake, they directly tie it up and set a trap, tie it to a tree by the river, and when the bison comes here to drink, the snake will jump up and bite it, and then they will go to look for the poisoned cow, pull it back and cook it, and it will not be poisoned."

[666, this is too showy, isn't it]

【Creature Trap (Doghead)】

[Damn, I'm so hungry, this barbecue is so fragrant]

[I haven't eaten ostrich meat yet, and I'm drooling]

There are also many spice plants in the desert, and Bi Fang has seen a lot along the way, sometimes picking them by hand and drying them, which can be dried in only one day, and turned into crumb powder with a slight rubbing by hand.

Combined with the collected rock salt, it is a good condiment.

Sprinkled with salt and spices, Bi Fang used a dagger to separate a piece of cooked meat on the surface, and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the scalding, Si Ha inhaled and swallowed it for a long time, exhaling refreshment.

The skin is golden and crisp, with a clattering sound under the scratching of the dagger, and the surface is also full of grease, and the salt particles melt at high temperatures, and with the spice powder collected on the journey, it exudes a strong fragrance.

Just looking at it through the screen is mouth-watering.

Creatures that have lived in the wild for a long time have strong muscles, especially legs, and do not have much fat, so they will inevitably taste dry and difficult to eat.

But after all kinds of treatment, there is no smell, and the taste is good, even if the taste is not good, but there is a large amount of advantages.

Saharan supplies are hard to find, and Bi Fang has not eaten so freely for a long time, usually half-full, and then mixed with some water, barely enough to be satisfied.

"You can't eat too much, it's easy to get sleepy if you're too full, it doesn't matter in normal times, but it's dangerous in the wilderness, because you need to be on high alert, especially when you need to keep a vigil."

chatting and eating with the audience, Bi Fang feasted a lot, and the whole ostrich leg actually ate most of it, which shows Bi Fang's good appetite.

Although the meat is firewood, it may not be as good as it is now.

But even so, he only ate an eight, and restrained himself.

In this way, dried during the day and smoked at night, the moisture in the meat evaporates a lot.

In less than two days, all the ostrich meat was made into dry food by Bi Fang and hung on Alpha's back.

With ostriches as a food supplement, there is no need to worry about resource shortages for at least a month, in addition to the need to find fresh water, the foot is a little faster.

However, in the semi-grassland area, it is easier to find some water resources, and the function of plants can also be used.
