Chapter 904: Cannibalism
Given the high probability of a blood feud between the two, it certainly can't all be buried in one pit.
When Bi Fang dug out two large deep pits under the tree, and placed the bones neatly in them, the sun had already set in the west.
"Whew, there's really not enough time, I feel like I haven't done much, and it's going to be dark."
Twilight gilded Bi Fang with a dull golden aperture, and he slapped the last inch of the ground with a stone shovel, wiping away a lot of sweat from his forehead.
The evening breeze blows on the body with a very pleasant feeling.
Coupled with the absence of mosquito harassment, it is more comfortable.
Normally, mosquitoes tend to be less during the day and more at night, but Kenya does the opposite, mainly due to the local temperature.
In the evening, the temperature drops violently, when the temperature is below 17°C, mosquitoes generally stop biting, and there is no water system nearby, so you can't find them.
It is similar to the inactivity of mosquitoes due to high daytime temperatures in the middle and low latitudes.
Therefore, even if the mosquito repellent juice applied on Bi Fang's body is wiped off with sweat, he doesn't have to worry about being bitten all over his body.
"In the evening, a lot of carnivores will be active, and we need to hurry up and find a safe place to spend the night."
Bi Fang planted a cross made of tree branches on one of the graves.
When he buried people, he accidentally found that one of the bones was hanging with a cross necklace, thinking that it should be a Christian, so he made a cross and inserted it, and as for the other one, there was nothing, no information, no proof, so it was not inserted.
Many people in front of the screen shouted exquisitely.
It's the rainy season, and in half a month, the two pieces of bare land under the trees will be covered with grass, and no one will ever know that there were two corpses buried underneath.
"Gone!"
Picking up his backpack, Bi Fang called out to Harley in the distance, but did not call it back.
This vigorous cheetah, which is about to become an adult, is standing on the dirt slope and staring into the distance at this time, unlike the usual left and right observations, it seems to have some goal, and its eyes are firmly locked in a certain direction.
Ever since Bi Fang had taught cheetahs a few times to stand on a high ground to observe for danger during their breaks, Harley seemed to have firmly engraved it in his instincts, and whenever he had free time, he would automatically look for dirt slopes, lie on them to rest, and perfectly carry out the sentry mission.
The crowd looked into the cheetah's line of sight and saw that it was a small bush.
Bi Fang's eyes saw more clearly, and he saw a large mouse in the bushes.
Hmm, no, it's supposed to be a rabbit.
"A hyrax, it looks like our cheetah has its own hunting target."
His eyes were facing the fiery red sun in the west, so Bi Fang could only squint at the target, like an observer next to a sniper, explaining the origin of the target to the audience.
With Bi Fang's reminder, everyone also found the little guy who looked very similar to a mouse in the bushes, but was bigger than an ordinary rabbit.
"Don't look at the hyrax that looks like a marmot, with an even more pointed mouth, but it's not a mouse, it belongs to the hyrax family."
"There are two common hyraxes in the grasslands, the 'Eastern Tree Hyrax' which is diurnal and nocturnal and the 'Eastern Tree Hyrax', which loves to bask in the sun."
"It's getting dark, and there will be activities at this point in time, and there is no doubt that it is a hyrax."
"Interestingly, don't look at its small size, but if you go back in time, this guy and elephants are the same ancestor, and their bones and muscles are not much different from the structure of elephants."
"In addition, there are manatees and dugongs, which are also distant relatives."
【??? 】
[Children, do you have a lot of question marks]
[This thing, the elephant will be gone as soon as it goes down]
[It can't be said that it is not like it at all, it can only be said that it has nothing to do with it]
The sailors were shocked by the outrageous size ratio between the two, and they couldn't imagine that a rabbit about the size of a marmot, full of hair, and sharp-beaked monkey gills could be related to the elephant, the largest creature on land.
In fact, the hyrax shares a common ancestor with all of these animals.
In the course of evolution, this ancestor evolved in different directions: one group gradually became larger and adapted to aquatic life, forming the current manatee and dugong; One group was much larger, forming the elephant it is today; Another one gradually became smaller, forming the current hyrax.
There may be other directions, but they have not yet been discovered, or have long since become extinct in the long run.
"I've heard that at the Serengeti visitor centre, these hyrax are so smart that they sell them to tourists and beg for food."
"But this is not a visitor center, the hyrax is very athletic, flexible, likes to live in the trees, is an expert in climbing trees, on the contrary, I have said many times, because the cheetah's claws are semi-retractable, it is inconvenient to grasp the trunk, and the ability to climb trees is very poor, so it is still unknown whether Harley can catch the hyrax."
After speaking, Bi Yi closed his mouth, stopped speaking, and gave all the lens language to Harley, who was engrossed.
From lying on his stomach to standing, Harley never looked away.
The hyrax in the bushes gnawing on the young leaves was completely unaware of the impending danger, and the night was approaching, and after resting for the day, it was hungry and munched on the young leaves in front of it.
By this time, Harley had already descended from the dirt slope, lowered his center of gravity, and quietly approached the target.
Just when everyone thought that another tense and exciting hunt was coming, a terrible howl resounded throughout the grassland.
The sound was so miserable that it was terrifying.
The hyrax who heard the sound was fascinated by the food, and at this moment realized that the situation was wrong, and disappeared into the bushes in a flash, turning into a black shadow, and when everyone saw it again, it was already in the canopy of a tree not far away, and the whole process did not take more than five seconds.
Harley looked around, and quickly returned to Bi Fang's side, as if this would bring some security.
Bi Fang stood up, came to the dirt slope where Harley was standing before, raised it three or four meters, and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was a herd of African bison, the famous widow maker.
At this time, there was obviously some turmoil in the African bison herd, and the baby bison were all protected in the middle of the herd.
The African bison certainly can't make such a high-pitched and penetrating sound, and the voice is dominated by a herd of hyenas next to the herd.
Hyenas again.
Seeing the old acquaintance again, the sailor couldn't help but feel that the road was really narrow, and he was worthy of being the second brother in Africa, and he could see it everywhere.
Only this time, their situation was not good, as if there was infighting, and the members of the group surrounded a lame hyena and attacked.
After zooming in on the picture, with the ultra-high definition, everyone can also see that the besieged hyena has already been disemboweled, revealing its pink entrails.
Even the head had a big hole, half of the ear drooped down, revealing the bright red musculature at the junction, and a hyena stepped forward to bite the wound, and the injured hyena turned desperately to try to stop it.
The scream just now was undoubtedly made by the injured hyena.
Bi Fang only glanced at it, and he roughly understood what had happened.
"This group of hyenas has probably not caught prey for a long time, they launched an attack on the bison herd, but failed, one of the low-level hyenas was injured, very seriously injured, you see the abdomen of the injured hyena, it is too far away for me to tell, but it is almost certain that it was caused by the horns of the bison."
As Bi Fang spoke, one of the three drones quickly approached to shoot, and the audience quickly confirmed the statement, the big hole in the flank was too obvious for the hyena to inflict such a wound.
"Low-grade hyenas, badly injured and unsuccessful for a long time, this pack of hyenas is ready to attack their companions."
Seeing this scene, the audience who heard Bi Fang's analysis all felt horror and fear in their hearts at this time.
It was not completely dark, but Bi Fang took the lead in changing the screen to black and white to reduce the impact of the picture.
What happened next was not as expected, the picture was so impactful that it had to move the camera, but the sound did not disappear, and the audience only listened to the hyena's screams, and goosebumps all over their bodies.
Even, because the hyena is too vigorous, even if the lower half of the body is hollowed out and scattered all over the ground, the injured hyena still gets up from the ground and struggles several times.
"Let's go, this place is not safe anymore."
Rao is Bi Fang, seeing the scene in front of him, he was a little uncomfortable, called Harley on the side, and quickly moved away from this place.
