Chapter 169 I Didn't Expect You To Be Such A Dog
In the jungle, there are not many animals who dare to approach Fang Hong.

Fortunately, the live broadcaster can also find the lens by itself.

A tree porcupine snorts past under the camera.

"This is a tree porcupine. Porcupines are distributed all over the world, not unique to South America."

"In this forest, there are mostly small animals, and almost all large animals have disappeared into history. The real threats are all kinds of viruses and bacteria, so I have to choose cooking methods that last for more than 10 minutes. Among them, my favorite is frying and frying, any virus will die ugly if it is put in the oil pan for 5 minutes and then stewed."

"Brother Gun, aren't caimans and anacondas considered large animals?"

Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "The ancestor of the caiman, the Amazon Moseri crocodile, was more than ten meters long and weighed more than Tyrannosaurus rex. The ancestor of the anaconda, the Titan python, was more than 15 meters long. They are big guys. Compared with them, Kai Alligators and anacondas are babies."

"It runs like a baby weighing several tons?"

"Brother Gun, why did you pack a bottle of fish?"

"Isn't it because the gray wolf made a fuss last time? I can't afford to hide if I can't provoke it. Bring an emergency meal to avoid unnecessary risks."

"Brother Gun, are there any bears here?"

"Does the honey bear count?" Fang Hong smiled: "Raccoon... If the honey bear under the category of instant noodle king is considered a bear, then there are. South America used to be an area dominated by bears, short-faced bears and slender bears. The giant toothed bears are the largest carnivores, among which the fine-toothed giant bears should be one of the largest carnivores that have ever appeared in history, but according to scientific research, they are too big and difficult to hunt, so often In times of famine, it is easy to become extinct, and short-faced bears evolved into scavengers, but they have not escaped the fate of extinction."

Throughout the afternoon, Fang Hong kept heading in the predetermined direction, but he still rarely encountered animals.

It is different from the forest full of animals that the water friends imagined.

Many small mammals choose to go out at night to avoid being hunted by predators.

Moreover, the ecological circle of a forest is fixed, and how many animals can be supported by a forest is determined.

The further you go, the denser the water system, and the canals are like natural dividing lines, dividing the forests into semi-independent ecological circles.

Throughout the afternoon, the sixth encounter came from a sloth.

A big sloth crawled on the ground with a small sloth on its back, walking very slowly.

"What is this lying on the ground?"

Fang Hong shrugged: "It's not lying on the ground, it's crawling, hurrying."

Sloths are basically moving, and the crawling posture is not very mammal-like, but more like the slow crawl of a lizard.

"What the hell, this is the Amazon. Why isn't this animal extinct?"

"Didn't you see his small size? Their close relative, the giant ground sloth, a super omnivore larger than the Asian elephant, was slaughtered by humans 1 years ago."

"Bigger than an Asian elephant?"

Fang Hong pointed to the sloths: "They are not small at all, and the giant ground sloth can single-handedly wipe out the saber-toothed tiger. There is fossil evidence."

All the large animals that survived the extinction were killed by humans, while the small animals lived well.

"In fact, large carnivores in the entire Amazon, including tiger cats, eat sloths, but the meat of sloths is very, very, very unpalatable, and generally carnivores are not interested in them."

A mammal that doesn't move, doesn't gain fat, doesn't bathe, and is covered in green algae. Probably not many predators will eat them.

Chewing them is no different from chewing pine wood, and it hurts more than chewing wax.

"However, this kind of animal seldom comes to the ground. When it comes to the ground here, it should have swum from the other side of the river, which proves that there are neither anacondas nor caimans nearby. It is a rare treasure."

"So gun brother, you want to camp here?"

"Camping?" Fang Hong stared at the branches above his head: "I feel safe in the trees."

Fang Hong was already chopping branches to make a hammock, and the sloth next to him was still crawling slowly, looking worried.

"Don't call this animal a sloth, call it slow."

Fang Hong snickered: "As the saying goes, extremes lead to opposites. This kind of animal is slow, but it also has a fast side."

"what?"

"Reproduction." Fang Hong shook his finger: "It's only been so long."

Of course, it is not pregnancy and childbirth, but the mating process.

"Damn it, Lightning!"

"It was indeed lightning."

Half an hour later, the hammock was lifted into the sky, but this time the hammock was not a hammock filled with leaves, but a large frame with a grid made of tree vines hanging on it.

The sloth finally disappeared from sight. This adventure started from the river, and they are considered the first strange thing. They are extremely slow and very calm.

"Brother Gun, are you not hunting today?"

"I don't want to eat any of the rodents here. I don't know what kind of virus they have. I'd better collect some wild fruits to deal with it. During the Chinese New Year, I have stomach problems. I have gained a lot of weight from eating. It's just a good time to lose weight."

Losing weight is not about not eating.

Because the human body has a protection mechanism, all body functions can only be activated when eating.

In a state of starvation, the body will not actively break down fat.

Eating polysaccharide fruits can not only activate body activity, but also supplement trace elements, and at the same time, it is not easy to absorb sugar. The most important thing is to resist viruses and improve immunity.

As the saying goes, poison must have an antidote within three steps.

In the Amazon rainforest, any edible fruit is a good antidote.

While Fang Hong was collecting fruit, a group of animals a little bigger than rabbits ran past Fang Hong's feet, and Fang Hong was stunned.

The cheekbones of this animal are smooth, the eye sockets, the bridge of the nose and the entire snout are basically smooth, and the head is like a xun (an oval musical instrument with one big and one small).

"I'm going, isn't this an otter? Brother Gun, how can an otter run so fast."

Under the moving camera of the live broadcaster, the details of these animals are invisible, yellow-brown fur, smooth top of the head, not too high nose, the entire back is extremely smooth, the curve is connected to the skull, and there are no raised shoulder blades.The legs are short, with flippers, about four or five kilograms, and the body is like a Pekingese.

Fang Hong thought for a while: "This is not an otter, this is a dog."

"I'll go, Brother Gun, don't be ridiculous."

"How could this be a dog? Could it be that there are people living here?"

Fang Hong thought for a while, then slapped his head: "Indeed, it should not be called a dog, but a canine. Canines, South American jungle dogs, like to live near rivers. They are the only canines with webbed feet. They are small in size and have long legs. Short, all to adapt to running under the bushes."

"It's really not an otter?"

"Otters don't run in groups on land. They are African bush dogs."

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"You are lucky." Fang Hong explained: "This kind of dog is very, very rare, because it lives deep in the Amazon Basin and likes to live in semi-swamp areas with dense water systems, so it is rarely photographed or videoed by humans. , the general documentary shooting team or scientific expedition team will have to search for a long time to find them.”

"Look carefully, although its head is very similar to an otter, but its ears are erected and spread out, and its face is more round, and its fur is fluffy, and its tail is extremely short."

"Yeah, it doesn't look like an otter."

"There are no common otters in Brazil, only an animal called the giant otter, which is on the verge of extinction. With the giant otter's intelligence and herd habits, the jaguar will escape for its life when it encounters the giant otter. This kind of creature is very difficult to meet. I Probably not so lucky. They are even rarer than South American bush dogs."

"666, I didn't expect them to be dogs."

"I didn't expect you to be such a dog."
