"Cave lion? What the hell is that? The ancestor of the lion Amelia had never heard of this creature.

Xiao Peng nodded his head and said, "yes, it's also called Eurasian cave lion or European cave lion. This is a very strange animal. Well, don't get me wrong. They are not the ancestors of lions, but another branch. Although extinction was recorded ten thousand years ago and a large number of fossils were found, there were cave lions in the Balkans two thousand years ago. "

Amelia gave him a blank look: "honey, are you wrong? This is America! You say this is a European cave lion

Xiao Peng shook his head: "how can I make a mistake? In the past, America and Asia were still connected through the Bering Strait, so the burrow lions became creatures here. It should have come from bear country. Two well preserved male lion cubs have been found in Siberia. They are trying to revive this thing by using cloning technology. But most of what can be found is fossils. As a matter of fact, xingtiao is really hypocritical. It takes charge of that every day to protest against any fossil trading. However, xingtiao is the first fossil trading market in the world. Every year, countless fossils of mammoths, short faced bears, cave lions and Saber Toothed tigers flow from Alaska. But this is a funny thing. You can see that there are no lions or tigers in America now, but this is the place where most of the fossils of Saber Toothed tigers and Saber Toothed tigers are found. "

Amelia said with a smile: "well, you can't beat me. There's a Hancock fossil Park in Los Angeles. It turns out that it's a asphalt lake, which is not as big as a thousand mile rock. But there are more than 2000 blade toothed tigers in it. But my dear, why are there so many Saber Toothed tigers there?"

Xiao Peng said happily: "you asked me to ask the right person! Don't forget, we have many tigers in Qianliyan. The tiger is different from the lion. The lion is a hunter chasing prey, while the tiger is an opportunist who is good at sneaking attack. The so-called saber toothed tiger with big teeth that you have seen in the cartoons are actually blade toothed tigers, which are characterized by two big tusks. However, these two big tusks are actually very fragile and threaten the prey more than practicability, so they are more familiar with hunting Used to catch weak prey and trapped prey. The prey trapped in the asphalt lake is their target. They didn't expect that they could not get in or out. They became fossils. "

Amelia looked at the skull fossil of the cave lion in her hand and said, "you like this fossil. It's really ugly."

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "when I return to Los Angeles, I still want to make a blade tooth tiger fossil. Don't underestimate these fossils. It's an important income for these people. After all, there are very few people like Jeff who have their own land. All of them need to buy the mining right. The excavation right of a small area is as high as 5000 US dollars, and the cost per hour is almost 1500 US dollars, including the fuel consumption and manpower consumption. So they won't let go of anything that can make a profit, such as these fossils, such as....... Vacco

Amelia was surprised and asked, "what's the matter?"

Xiao Peng pointed to the window of the plane, and his tongue was not very smart: "mud! Mud

"Mud?" Amelia didn't understand.

As soon as Xiao Peng pulled the joystick, the plane turned a direction and lowered the flight altitude at the same time! A lot of huge mud spots suddenly appeared on the plane glass!

"Honey, what's the matter?" Amelia was a little nervous.

At this time, there was a noise from the never sounded flight radio station on the plane. The intensity of the radio frequency noise made Xiao Peng want to turn it off. A man's voice was not clear: "novarupta volcano is about to explode! All pilots nearby should be safe! "

Amelia was also a little nervous: "honey, is everything ok?"

Xiao Peng shook his head and said: "it's going to be OK. If we turn a direction, we will be fine if we are far away from the volcano. What's more, I don't know whether it's a large-scale eruption or two small sneezes. This is Alaska. Like Japan, it's also the intersection of continental plates. Earthquakes and volcanoes often occur. Their local people are not surprised. I'm angry because why we don't explode sooner or later, or when we pass by? Let's go around again. Why not Mount Fuji

Emilia chuckled and said, "Fuji Mountain broke out? How much do you hate Japan? "

Xiao Peng shrugged: "do you think I'm kidding? Mount Fuji has always been an active volcano, but it hasn't exploded in 300 years. According to the earthquake frequency in Japan, Mount Fuji is likely to explode soon

At this time, the sky began to rain, heavy rain mixed with volcanic ash hit the glass. Very poor vision.

"Honey, can we still fly?" Emilia asked, "would you like to find a place to rest?"

Xiao Peng looked at the navigation: "OK, we are not far away from kezebu. Let's go there to avoid the rain! Hey, it's not as good as heaven. I'm worried that you can't eat "Stinky head". Now you'll have a good mouth! "

Amelia asked in a puzzled way: "you told Jones they were" smelly head "or something that day, and they were shocked. What was it

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "those are the traditional food of Inuit people. For example," Stinky head "is the food of the yupike people, a branch of the Inuit people in southwest Alaska. It is a kind of food that is eaten after the fish head and its viscera are buried in the ground and decomposed to a certain extent. We don't have this kind of food in pointele, but there are yupics in kozebe now, and naturally there is this kind of foodEmilia retched and said, "isn't that disgusting? I'm not going to eat it. What do you mean by kiwiac

Xiao Peng explained: "kiviak is a pickled puffin. Put the dead puffin into the seal's stomach, sew it up and bury it in the ground, and then take it out and eat it after it rots."

I'm not going to eat anything like that

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "you can't help it. This is the etiquette of Inuit people to entertain distinguished guests! Only the most distinguished guests can eat it, and we are probably the most distinguished guests

Amelia looked sad after hearing this: "can't we not eat such a terrible thing? By the way, didn't you say they had ice cream? "

"Ice cream?" Xiao Peng was stunned and then came to his senses: "you mean" Eskimo ice cream ", right? I advise you to give up your mind. It's not as beautiful as you think. The so-called "Eskimo ice cream" is to mix all kinds of animal fat together, such as seal fat, whale fat, reindeer fat and so on, and dye it with milk, eggs, fish, sugar, raisins, ice cubes and other hard stir. How to describe the flavor? In any case, you can not feel the fishy smell in your mouth after you brush your teeth for a few days. And you know, Inuit people are very hospitable. This kind of "Eskimo ice cream" is also the delicious food in their mouth. It's this strange thing that they entertain guests

Amelia was puzzled and asked, "how do you know? Is this your first time in Alaska? How did you ever eat this stuff? "

Xiao Peng pointed to the front and said, "after the Bering Strait, the ChuKeQi people of Xiong Kingdom lived. When the xiongguo people conquered the whole territory, the only one who did not win was the ChuKeQi people. The ChuKeQi people first lived in the northern part of China. In the Ming Dynasty, they were called" Beishan Nuzhen "or" Shi Lu Bu ", relying on hunting. Later they went north and assimilated the local Inuit. It also accepted a lot of Inuit marine culture. At present, Chukchi people are also divided into two types, one is the marine Chukchi, and the other is the Rulu Chukchi. The living habits, eating habits and religious habits of the marine Chukchi people are very similar to those of the Inuit people. These things are similar over there

"You mean, same Chukchi, two different lifestyles?" Amelia was a little curious.

Xiao Peng nodded: "you are right. Today, two kinds of Chukchi intermarriage is still uncommon - even more than the intermarriage of Russian and other ethnic groups. But one thing is certain: the life style of the Chukchi people in the sea is very similar to that of the Inuit people today. "

"Kayak commune?" Amelia heard another new word.

"In the early days, not all Chukchi could have kayaks. A family with a kayak was the core of a settlement, and then organized several families to hunt together. They live in fixed places, including pastures and fishing grounds, which belong to everyone, but boats, tools, houses, dogs and so on are private. That's what happened to pointele, where we're going now. " Xiao Peng answered this question.

Emilia sighed, "why do I seem to follow you here? I feel numb when I think of "kiwiac" or "Eskimo ice cream."

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "don't be nervous. We can eat" Stinky head "to cushion your stomach, and then go to eat those two kinds of things."

Amelia was shocked and said, "honey, isn't it raining now? Let's go to pointele at one go, promise me, never let me eat these things when we get there! You can't eat either! Or you'll never touch me again in your life
