"What's over there! The carcass of an elephant is really rare. ”

Bi Fang, who was standing on the top of the slope, was looking at the safety of the surrounding environment, but suddenly saw a mountain of meat lying in the open space in the distance, and looked closely and found that it was actually the corpse of an elephant, and there were vultures hovering in the sky directly above.

This can surprise everyone, and the carcass of elephants, many people have never seen with their own eyes, is a great novelty.

[Did the poachers kill it?] 】

[It's possible, I heard that poachers are rampant in Africa]

[Is that to be careful]

[Maybe he was bitten to death by something?] 】

[Yes, it's all possible]

All kinds of speculations popped up, but if you want to know the truth, you still need to take a closer look before you can draw conclusions, so everyone asked the old party to come forward and check it out.

If it were another anchor, everyone might ask the other party to be careful and not to overturn the car.

But for Bi Fang, fans have long known his ability, and their inner curiosity is ready to move, and they directly began to agitate.

Do you understand the gold content of the title of Fang Shen, and the tactics are leaning back.

[Why don't you go over and have a look]

[Yes, yes, go to Kangkang]

[Charge forward, I can't ignore the righteous ones! ] 】

Even if the audience doesn't ask for it, with Bi Fang's consistent style, it will definitely pass.

However, in view of the possibility of poachers, Bi Fang did not act rashly, first observed the circle, and did not find too obvious traces around the elephant carcasses, and there were no bunkers around that could hide the car.

"I see that the corpse has been eaten, but the flesh and blood exposed inside are already very dark in color, and there are vultures on the body, it seems that a long time has passed since the elephant died, and the corpse has begun to decompose, in this way, even if it is man-made, we will probably not be able to meet the person who did it."

"To put it simply, it's too late."

After explaining, Bi Yi ran down the hillside, and kept rolling down the small gravel under him, trotting all the way, followed by an unknown cheetah, and it didn't take long for a man and a leopard to come to the elephant's corpse.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked nearby, a strong rancid smell hit his nose, so smoke that the cheetah covered his nose with his paws, and retreated step by step, refusing to take another step forward.

Even Jerry, the Gambian rat, reacted violently, curled up in his pocket and remained motionless, as if he had fainted.

Helpless, Bi Fang had to go alone.

The vulture's long, sharp beak easily tore through the rotten flesh, and they threw their heads up to swallow chunks of flesh, spotting the invading enemy.

】

The approach of the living made the vultures scream, but they did not flinch when they saw the comer.

Seeing that the intimidation was useless, the vulture took a few steps back, grabbed the flesh and jumped behind the elephant, and then gnawed, obviously unwilling to leave easily.

Bi Fang didn't care, he squatted down, held his breath, and used the stick in his hand to pick open the hanging elephant skin, revealing the inner tissue.

At the same time as the elephant skin was lifted, a large black fly flew out, startling the audience in front of the screen.

Fortunately, before the more disgusting scene appeared, the mosaic blocked everything.

But even if you look at it, everyone can guess what it will be like down there, which is nothing more than what the flies like to do, eating and laying eggs.

The weather has not been very hot lately, but as long as the temperature is above 15 degrees, it is still a suitable environment for them to spawn.

[Grass, I just had a meal here, and I have no appetite]

[Man's greatest invention, mosaic]

[That's not what you said last night]

[How long has this been rotten]

[So how did you die?] 】

[Looking at the wound, it feels like it was bitten to death by an animal, and the head is also intact, so it shouldn't be ivory]

[Is it possible that he died of old age?] 】

[Speaking of which, it seems that it is rare to see an elephant that has died of old age]

[I was killed by poachers before I died]

"Elephants rarely die of old age, and they almost starve to death before they die of old age, which has nothing to do with poachers."

Bi Fang tried to find more clues on the elephant carcass, and at the same time glanced at the barrage to answer the audience's confusion.

"Elephant teeth are very special, most mammals have only three sets of molars, which grow in a way similar to the tip of a bamboo shoot, and the teeth cannot be renewed when they are adults.

But elephants are different, they have no canine teeth, only incisors and 6 sets of molars, but because the upper and lower jaws are relatively short, they cannot accommodate 6 sets of molars at the same time, so these 6 sets of molars appear in turn, like a conveyor belt, gradually moving forward from the back of the mouth. ”

"There are very few such mammals, less than 10 of the 5,500 known species of mammals are constantly renewing their molars, and apart from elephants, only three species of manatees, rock wallabies, and frost rats have teeth that are pushed from back to front."

[Sounds painful]

[A little off san]

【What's the matter】

"It's really uncomfortable, so elephants in tooth change are usually more grumpy."

Bi Fang affirmed this statement and continued.

"Because of the long life span of elephants, the sixth set of molars will be used for twenty or thirty years, and if you eat too much hard food that is difficult to chew, resulting in tooth damage, it is equivalent to reducing your life."

"A lot of wildlife rescue non-profits, such as Wildlife SOS, feed semi-liquid food to old elephants that have reached the sixth set of molars."

"In fact, many animals will starve to death because of tooth loss, but elephants have almost no natural predators, and even if they are old, they are not provoked by meat eaters, so the basic natural death situation is starvation, not old death."

Bi Fang walked around the elephants, and the vultures also jumped around in a circle.

"When they can't eat food and are hungry, the elephants rely on water to relieve themselves."

"And old elephants tend to get older and more pink because their ears and noses fade with age."

"So we don't see old dead elephants, but we can often see pink elephants dying near water sources."

[Useless knowledge has increased]

[Awesome, this is known]

[Damn, sometimes I don't have lunch, and I don't get to dinner, when I'm hungry, I will drink boiled water, which will feel a lot better]

[Plus 1]

[Sudden understanding (funny)]

[The secrets of nature are already known!] 】

Bi Fang circled around the elephant's back, and the vultures jumped back into the elephant's belly again.

That's when he finally made a discovery.

"It's not an animal, it's a human, you see, there's bullet holes here."

Bi Fang pushed the elephant's head away, revealing the side of its neck, and the scar was as big as a bowl due to several huge bullet holes on the ground, proving that the artificial statement was correct.

"It's a female elephant without tusks, so the skull remains intact."

"African elephants are different from Asian elephants, both male and female elephants have tusks, but I remember saying that more and more African elephants are no longer growing tusks due to artificial selection."

"I don't know why those people killed her."

Bi Fang was a little puzzled.

When it comes to Africa's best-selling items, it's definitely ivory and rhino horn.

However, rhino horn is formed from epidermal keratin, which has no bone core inside, and the main component is keratin.

Unlike ivory, which is an extension of an elephant's bones, almost one-third of which grows inside the skull, means that the tusks are connected to the skull, and there is no way for the elephant to remove all the tusks while he is alive.

Therefore, taking rhinoceros horn can not kill rhinos, but taking ivory, elephants are certain to die.

But on the other hand, if you don't take ivory, why kill elephants?

"The bite wound was added later, and at least two days have passed."

Observing his surroundings again, Bi Fang made a different discovery this time when he was closer, and he pointed to a big tree not far away.

"That tree seems to be easy to ambush, let's go and have a look."
