Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 529: A False Alarm

On the wrinkled bark, several neat scratch marks were engraved on it.

Bi Fang stretched out his hand to press on the big tree, and scratched with five fingers. The audience clearly saw that the scratch was so big that no human hand could grasp it. The owner of the paw print was definitely a big guy.

【Bear? Are there bears nearby? 】

[I'll wipe it, I'll take a quick look, is Lao Fang the first person to find the clue now? 】

【seems like it】

[Awesome, the hunting time is on! 】

The audience booed one after another, but Bi Fang shook his head and waved the drone closer.

Under the light and shadow, Bi Fang stroked the scarred bark, and looked down at the nearby soil: "It was left a long time ago, at least for a month, and there are no footprints on the ground. It should be left by a black bear passing by." down."

"Normally, the paw prints just left can cut through the bark and reveal the white trunk. Now the trunk is black and oxidized for a long time. It is impossible to find a black bear with this."

"Unless its territory is near here, which is obviously not true, because apart from this scratch, there are very few traces of other large animals in the vicinity."

It turned out to be fake!

The audience was disappointed.

I thought Boss Fang would be the first hunter to find information about the prey in the morning.

However, the sudden appearance of black bear paw prints also reminded everyone that there are really black bears in the Japanese forest, and there are a lot of them.

Bi Fang shook his head and collected his thoughts.

"Continuing the topic just now, someone asked why bears like to eat honey. In fact, among all the food of bears, honey is not the main one, but honey is very important to bears."

Bi Fang chatted with the audience while walking, this is his usual style.

This is a test of concentration. You need to observe the surrounding environment, but also check the barrage in time and respond. Ordinary people do not have this ability, and they may trip over and fall while walking.

Bi Fang felt that based on this, he had to show himself a dual-purpose skill.

"The food that bears eat is very complex, and some food is not easy to digest. Honey can promote digestion and absorption, improve the bear's own immunity, and quickly replenish their body energy."

"Secondly, when bears enter hibernation, they must rely on the conversion of body fat into energy to maintain their body's needs."

"Of all nutrients, sugar is the easiest to convert into fat. For these reasons, bears naturally like honey very much."

"Besides ant nests and honey, there are many places that are easy to observe. For example, some bushes with berries that have been trampled to pieces may be black bears."

Bi Fang explained all kinds of possible clues in detail, and casually picked a small red fruit from a nearby branch and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well, it tastes good, sweet and sour."

[Fuck, what did Boss Fang stuff into his mouth? 】

[What the hell is this? Eat as much as you want, not afraid of poisoning? 】

"Don't be nervous, it's just a raspberry, it can also strengthen yang and invigorate qi."

Bi Fangyao remembers going to the forest with the old professors for research, and the most eaten wild fruit is the raspberry.

Picking off the raspberries from the nearby bushes one by one, Bi Fang said: "In June, July, or even August, if you want to eat something good in the wild, you can try to find the raspberry, because the raspberry Not only can every species of the genus be eaten, but most species are delicious."

"Most of the fruits that have not been artificially cultivated are not delicious, they are sour and astringent, and some may even be slightly toxic, so it is really rare for Rubus to evolve itself to be delicious. "

"The characteristics of Rubus are very easy to remember: shrubs or woody vines, with prickles on the veins on the back of the stem and leaves, and the fruit is a berry-like aggregate fruit developed from multiple detached carpels. Simply put, it looks like The shape of the pomegranate fruit is aggregated, and it is very soft and tender."

"As for what the flowers look like, I won't say. Seeing the flowers of Rubus in the wild means that you came two months early."

Bi Fang plucked the small fruits from the bushes one by one, stuffed some directly into his mouth, and put some into small bags.

Ripe raspberry fruits are juicy and delicious. The disadvantage is that some varieties are too sour, but there are very few of them. The one in front of me is obviously not.

It’s also easy to eat, just roll it off and stuff it in your mouth. However, the flesh of wild species is too soft to be stored and transported, and it’s easy to be crushed when piled up, so it’s rare to see any deep processing. Even if there are species, they are basically picked. .

"However, it is easy to identify Rubus and eat it, but it is very difficult to determine which one is in the mouth, even for experienced plant taxonomists. What did I just eat? I do not know either."

The classification of Rubus is a worldwide problem.

According to different classification systems, this genus has 250 to 700 species in the world - look at the numbers and you can see how divided taxonomists are on this genus.

Just like eating squid, when surviving in the wild, some plants don't need to remember what can be eaten, just remember what can't be eaten in this genus.

"Among the squid, only the flame squid is poisonous, but all kinds of raspberry can be eaten. This is the simple memory method."

Once, after eating wild raspberries, Bi Fang wanted to do a job out of habit, but encountered obstacles in his way.

The suggestion given by a teacher he respected was: "It's better to abandon the existing species division completely, first use molecular means to build a phylogenetic tree, and then re-specify."

But at that time, Bi Fang estimated the difficulty of sampling, counted the shy funds in his own pocket, and silently gave up.

I didn't expect that now, I still can't make a suitable species, but my pockets are bulging, but I don't have much interest in classifying plants.

"The species I have now has single leaves with few prickles; the fruit is also solitary, and it has an indescribable taste besides sweet and sour. I feel a bit like some kind of pesticide smell, but it is very light and does not affect Edible, maybe it can be called 'pesticide raspberry'."

[Hahahaha, isn't this too casual? 】

[Pesticide Rubus, I never thought of getting this name in my life]

[By the way, what is the name of the species that Lao Fang discovered last time? 】

[Bi's pseudo-crocodile. 】

【Ah, yes, yes, this is it, it’s very watery】

"Where is Pichia crocodilians flooded?" Bi Fang was puzzled, and said solemnly, "Many creatures are called that, Pichia pastoris, Pichia ovata, it's the same, egg ants have no queen, they are a Kind of army ants, that's pretty cool."

【Ah yes yes yes】

[When can I see Pythagorean crocodile in the zoo?]

[Yes, does Lao Fang know the news? Didn't you find this? 】

"how could I know?"

Bi Fang shook his head. He didn't know the specific information, but it seemed that the above didn't intend to develop it at all, and instead protected it.

Even Bi Fang was told not to tell others the exact location.

But it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

The only news I know is that the vitality of the head brought back at the beginning was very tenacious. After the new arrival, it was kept in the laboratory. The place is very large, and people regularly feed it every day.

It is said that it means to bring a female crocodile to breed, and to further observe the behavior of this creature.
