Chapter 180 Black Caiman
The so-called swamp is not the kind of swamp in our habitual thinking.

Everyone's understanding of the swamp comes from texts or movies and TV.

It's not so much a swamp as a mud pit.

"As you can see, this is a forest swamp transformed from a forest. The characteristic of the swamp is the special terrain formed by the wet ground and large areas of exposed water formed by the frequent moistening of the ground and underground soil."

"Actually, as long as you look clearly and walk away, the possibility of getting stuck in the mud is not very great."

"First of all, there is a reason for the formation of silt. If there is not a lot of water, how can there be silt? That is to say, silt is actually produced at the bottom of the water, and it is exposed during the water-poor period and covered with moss and other plants, so that People can't tell the difference. If you want to step on the mud that is as exposed as a beach, you will die, and the water will not save you."

Now that it is the rainy season, the water level has risen, and most of the silt that is not allowed to pass is back under the water.

However, the difficulty of walking here is more due to the flora and fauna.

First of all, here is the forest, there are tall trees and shrubs, and the water level changes, so the shrubs here are taller than people, and some are shorter than people.

Secondly, each pond is not as independent as it seems at first glance. If it is connected, there may be electric eels.

Third, crocodiles often trek long distances to a second pool after cleaning their food from a separate pool, not to mention the ease of such a migration over a large swath of wet land.In other words, even an independent pool may hide crocodiles.

Here, Fang Hong saw a little anteater climbing a tree, an armadillo, and a capybara.

When capybaras appear, it means that the vicinity is barely safe.

The traces of the anaconda have not been revealed, but it does not mean that there are no anacondas here. The anaconda is used to swimming underwater completely, rather than swimming with its head exposed like a human.

"Speaking of things like caimans, I want to warn everyone, don't raise crocodiles..."

"Wow!" The water parted, and a two-meter-long crocodile rushed out of the water.

However, when it reached the land, it immediately turned its head and retracted into the water.

"Paralysis, in the middle of speaking, it scared me."

"Caiman, the head is about two meters away, very timid."

The IQ of the caiman is not high, but it is not particularly low. It can clearly distinguish between meat mammals and herbivorous mammals.

In this forest, its status is not that high.

"Damn, brother gun, this crocodile rushed out of the water in a few situations, and then retracted."

Fang Hong explained: "The crocodile's vision is not fixed. It has two eyelids. When it is underwater, its vision is very poor and it can't see clearly. It can only judge what is passing by on land, but it can't see what it is. After arriving on land, their eyesight is the same as that of humans, so it was scared when it saw me. Most of the crocodiles in the world are small crocodiles, and small crocodiles will not be interested in humans, but they still have to Be careful, don't provoke it and it won't hate me, but if you provoke it, it won't weigh things like whether it can bite or not."

"I just said, don't raise crocodiles on the spur of the moment. In recent years, there have been enough people raising all kinds of poisonous insects in China. I don't know why there is a trend of raising South American animals. The first is the aye-aye among the tree monkeys. , Absolutely protect animals, raising them is against the law. The second is crocodiles. Although crocodiles like caimans are not big, they will grow to more than two meters after being kept for a long time. Killing your own pets is reluctant. If you sell them, Breaking the law. That’s why we often hear news of crocodiles being found in urban waters or park grass recently.”

"You said that if you raise a kitten or puppy, you throw it away. If you raise a crocodile and throw it away, why don't you raise a brown bear and release it?"

In the name of love, many people are committing crimes.

Release life, is that release life?Alien species, if they are released into the wild or even in the city, what kind of release is that?
"Last time I saw in the news that a fool put [-] king cobras into the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and suggested that a new law should be introduced to treat the release of exotic species as attempted murder."

"Thinking about it makes my scalp tingle, and I even let the crocodile live. I am not as dizzy as Brother Gun."

Fang Hong was embarrassed because the crocodile turned around before he could react.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the crocodile. Although it is two or three meters away, it looks quite scary." Fang Hong: "Of course the eyelids of the crocodile are to protect the eyeballs, but sometimes this mechanism will also be for the eyes. They bring disaster. Just next door to this state, there is a jaguar that has been under the study of scientists. The year before last, this jaguar was drinking water by the river, was bitten by a caiman, and lost its left eye Since then, the jaguar's diet has changed, and all caimans in the jaguar's range have been massacred in the past three years."

"As I said before, the tiger is a very cruel creature, and it is a rare creature that can hunt when it is full. The jaguar combines the characteristics of the leopard and the tiger. On the one hand, it is very cautious, on the other hand It also has a violent heart. This jaguar jumped into the river twice in three days to hunt caimans without needing to eat. It is a typical vengeful behavior that is very rare in the entire cat family."

"The jaguar is a dick."

"The crocodile is probably a deified creature. In fact, only a small number of crocodiles, such as the saltwater crocodile, black caiman, and Nile crocodile, will actively attack humans for hunting. Other crocodiles just live in the water. lizard."

The so-called hunting behavior is to treat people as prey, and the situation of anger is not counted. Dogs jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, and rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry.

"There are too many crocodiles in this forest and swamp. Look there." Following the direction Fang Hong pointed, many people found crocodiles. "

For many mammals, it is a piece of floating dead wood, but the sensitivity of human eyes to color is far from that of other mammals.Most mammals are color-blind, and can even only distinguish between black and white. In other words, they basically have no ability to distinguish colors, and can only judge the intensity of light.

In this case, it is difficult for them to see the crocodile.

As for humans, as long as they are not careless, they can generally tell the difference between a crocodile and a dead wood.

This is also the reason why creatures like tigers need protective colors to ambush and hunt, but they only have stripes on their bodies, which is still a color that does not match the environment, because their prey cannot distinguish colors.

"Caimans like to breed in environments with slow water flow, sand and silt, so there are a lot of caimans here. Caimans are also the easiest crocodiles in the world to breed. Compared with them, the reproductive capacity of Chinese alligators is simply insufficient. One-thousandth of them. It is also because it is easy to breed that 70.00% of the crocodile products in the world are provided by caimans. Their skins are so cheap that no one wants to poach them. Therefore, caimans are not ANIMAL CROSSING."

Just like American alligators, there is no criminal penalty for killing them, at most a fine, and if you get a hunting license in advance, nothing will happen.

While Fang Hong was speaking, the lake next to him swayed slightly.

In the Amazon, it is very normal for bugs to surface on the water, or fruit leaves to fall to the river surface, Fang Hong didn't care about this detail at all.

"Some indigenous people still retain the custom of roasting caimans. They regard crocodiles as their regular food. To be honest, the meat of this crocodile is not too..."

"Wow!"

This time, the momentum is much bigger than before!
Fang Hong quickly jumped back.

This is not a caiman, it's their biggest cousin, the black caiman!

It is similar in shape to a caiman, with a body length of more than four meters, and black spots all over the top of the head, and more areas are too late for Fang Hong to see clearly.

The explosive power of this crocodile is far beyond that of the caiman. Three meters away from the shore, in just a second, the black caiman rushed forward.

If Fang Hong accidentally took a step back, he would have been bitten by now!
