Chapter 666 Catching puffins

Most people directly think that Greenland has a polar ice sheet climate, but in fact, the Gotthob area in the south of the island has a polar tundra climate, and only the uninhabited northern area has a polar ice sheet climate.

The tundra climate is mainly distributed on the northern edge of the North American continent and the Eurasian continent, part of the coast of Greenland and several islands in the Arctic Ocean

The ice sheet climate is distributed in the polar region and its vicinity, including Greenland, several islands in the Arctic Ocean, and the ice sheet plateau of the Antarctic continent.

Here is the birthplace of the ice-ocean air mass and the Antarctic air mass. It is in a state of perpetual night throughout the winter. Although it is perpetual day in the summer half of the year, the sun shines obliquely and the heat gained is weak. Therefore, the climate is very cold throughout the year, and the monthly temperature is below 0°C.

Most Inuit people basically live in the tundra climate. Starting in spring, the snow on the ground will gradually melt, revealing green lichen or moss, and the river will not always be frozen, at least there will be a window period for a period of time.

However, Bi Fang's location at this time is the climate of the ice sheet, which is even harsher than the tundra.

Otherwise, lichens and mosses would not be so scarce, and it would take a long time to find them. If you encounter something that is inedible, your mentality will easily collapse.

This is the reason why I have traveled so far here and never met an Inuit.

But vitality is tenacious, even if it is an ice field, plants can still be found.

Especially by the river.

Whenever there is liquid water, it is possible to find woods nearby.

Conifers, birches and willow groves, these hardy plants and trees can endure amazing cold.

Bi Fang used a self-made small shovel to dig through the snow layer, and occasionally found leaves, twigs and remnants of plants, which proved that there is indeed a plant area nearby.

The woods, which means a more advanced ecological chain, are likely to produce big goods, such as arctic musk oxen, reindeer, etc. After the snowstorm comes, many animals will also enter the woods to hide. These two days are definitely a good time to catch them opportunity.

Perhaps the traditional Inuit food that Bi Fang chanted yesterday played a role. Bi Fang walked along the river bank and found some small black animals.

Even though the reflected light on the snow field was so intense that it was hard to open one's eyes, Bi Fang still spotted them, a small flock of puffins, a hundred meters away.

[Puffin? where? 】

[Didn't it say it was extinct? 】

[I didn’t listen carefully when I saw it yesterday, it was the great auk that became extinct, not the puffin]

[Is the great auk not a puffin? 】

【Great auk is a puffin, but a puffin is not a great auk! 】

【.】

Out of nowhere, a group of water friends quarreled in the live broadcast room, as if they were about to start an accumulated debate around the classification of puffins.

From Bi Fang's point of view, the audience couldn't spot the puffins at all, even though their colors were very different from those of the snow field. After all, these guys couldn't break away from the category of birds, and they weren't large carnivores like wild geese and falcons, which were not big in size.

Even the extinct great auk is the largest of all auks, with an average body length of only 75 to 80 centimeters and a weight of 5 kilograms. The size of common auks is less than half that of the great auk.

Moreover, the audience does not have such strong eyesight as Bi Fang, he is a man who can see the craters of the moon clearly with naked eyes.

Fortunately, there was not only one drone. A smaller drone approached quietly, finally allowing everyone to see the puffin clearly.

This, isn't this a penguin?

The representative of the first class in Bi Fang’s live broadcast room, Guoba, opened his eyes wide and was surprised to see the puffin on the screen.

Not only class representatives, many people think so, this is exactly what a penguin looks like?

The sides of the head, chin, throat and wings are dark brown, while the abdomen is pure white, but the body proportions are a bit strange. It looks like the neck is protruding and longer, and the belly is not so big compared to penguins.

But compared to the normal birds, they are fat and not good at flying.

"Fat must be fat, otherwise the Inuit would not regard it as a delicacy. Animals that can survive in the Arctic are basically full of fat." Bi Fang chuckled.

In the Arctic, animals with more fat are the real good ingredients.

"But if you said you can't fly, you guessed wrong. Puffins can not only fly, but they are also all-around players."

For animals in the natural world, God is very fair, and will always give you a skill that is enough to settle down.

For example, birds are good at flying, fish are good at swimming, cheetahs run super fast, and pandas are born cute...

However, not all animals are satisfied with having one skill. Some animals in nature have multiple skills. For example, puffins are this special bird species.

Bi Fang lay on the ground and approached slowly. At the same time, because the distance was still far away, he also explained incidentally: "According to the biological classification, puffins belong to the order Aves and Gulliformes. The reason why they are special birds is that Because this bird not only can fly, but also has strong swimming and diving abilities."

"They can dive into the sea like penguins to prey on small fish, and they can hardly miss every dive attack. When they reach land, puffins don't just run around like many birds. They can also walk. , and this kind of strange bird loves to take the overlord's step, it looks very funny."

"So their body size is between penguins and normal birds, and they have both advantages. It can be said that they are 'penguins' on the Arctic ice sheet."

While talking, the drone has captured the puffin walking.

The puffin, which looks like a penguin, opened its wings and then folded them up high, as if putting its hands in its pockets, and strode on the snow. It was completely different from the jumping of normal birds, which was quite interesting.

In terms of temperament, puffins are naturally optimistic. This is a very party-loving animal. There are often large groups of puffins gathering together to play and rest.

And the occasions where they gather are also uncertain, sometimes they will gather on the coast, and sometimes they will float in groups on the sea or in the snow.

This is why Bi Fang can meet them here.

But due to the lack of materials, Bi Fang didn't have any cages or other ropes around him that could be used to catch birds.

I can only tie the shovel to the tree stick and use it as a sharp weapon. I hope to wait until my character explodes and take the opportunity to knock one out. Of course, it would be best if I can send more.

At this time, Bi Fang had already touched within ten meters, but the puffin was still unaware.

In terms of intuitive survival skills, puffins are relatively good. They can fly, swim, dive, catch fish, and even take the bully step.

Therefore, there are not many animals in the Arctic that can threaten puffins, and they are not too vigilant at all, which gives Bi Fang an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Bi Fang rushed out suddenly!
