Chapter 422： Bread fruit

After five days in Lagos, Olson tasted all the seafood here, they got up and went to Bauchi, northern Nigeria.

They will spend the next two days in Bauchi's wildlife sanctuary.

With two jeep driving in, they started driving straight in along the entrance of the reserve.

Africa has a flat terrain and is the largest continent in the world. The grasslands here are paradise for wildlife.

Zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, giraffes, African elephants ...

These wild animals, which can usually only be seen on TV, appear in front of them as the car deepens.

Not far away were several trees that stood on the ground like umbrellas, and several baboons stood on the trees and looked at them.

"It's an acacia tree, and it has thorns on it. Most animals cannot get up except for baboons. This kind of tree is also an evergreen tree in the savannah.

The ancestors said that the neck of the giraffe was not so long at first, but in order to survive, they could only try to lengthen the neck, and then they could eat the leaves of the acacia tree. "

The guide explained to them while driving.

This legend is very interesting, and also made Tang Tian and Olson laugh.

"what is that?"

The car drove forward a few more times, and several barrel-like trees appeared in front of them, and at least a dozen people looked at them.

The top leaves of the tree are sparse and very strange.

"That's a gift from God, the totem of Africa, the greatest wealth of our forefathers, the baobab."

When the tour guide talked about the tree, his original laziness showed a strong devotion.

If he hadn't driven the car, he might really have fallen down on his knees like worshipping a god.

From the tour guide's mouth, Tang Tian and Olson heard the function of this tree.

After listening to them, they can understand why the tour guide is so religious.

Africa is a paradise for wildlife, but it is also the continent with the most water shortage. Take Nigeria, for example, the water here is 50 yuan per ton.

The trunk of this kind of tree, which looks like a large bucket, is basically filled with water.

When water is particularly scarce, Africans will make holes in the trees and then drink water directly.

And it's not just the water inside the tree. On the few trunks at the top of the tree, there is something called a baobab.

According to the guide, the kind of fruit tastes like bread after roasting, and it will taste very delicious when fried.

Olson was only interested at first, but when he heard that it was delicious, he directed the tour guide to drive the car over there.

On top of the tree was a group of baboons, howling when they saw them approaching.

This tree is called a baobab because its fruits are the favorite of monkeys and baboons.

The tour guide was very professional. After going down, they greeted the bodyguards in the back car and issued very threatening shouts at the baboons on the tree.

After the baboons lost in momentum, they all ran down the baobab tree and fled hurriedly.

Tang Tian and Olson looked at each other in the back.

Sure enough, the solutions to the problems here are the most primitive.

The baboons were driven away, and the guide pulled out the climbing tools directly from the trunk.

It can be seen that he usually does not do such a thing.

The texture of the tree is very sparse, but fortunately it is not very high. The guide climbed up with dexterity and then directly hit those fruits.

The fruit is yellow and looks a bit like an immature coconut.

They played a dozen or so, put them in the trunk of the car, and then continued to drive forward.

At the rest of the temporary camp, they all got off one by one.

Tour guides and bodyguards roasted baobabs. Tang Tian and Olson took binoculars and looked at the scenery on the grassland in the distance.

Because it's summer and the weather is hot, it's almost noon here.

Those animals that originally walked on the grassland tried to hide under the shade of the tree as much as possible to avoid evaporation of water in the body.

Under the shade of these trees, they saw the king of the steppe, the African lion, who had never seen it before.

The African lion is the largest lion, second only to the Siberian tiger in cats, and is the real king of grasslands.

The mane on the male lion's head looked at the domineering side leak.

Where they are, other animals are standing far away, for fear of becoming their mouth food.

Fortunately, lions are solitary animals. Otherwise, the biological population of this grassland will be greatly reduced.

Olson took out a telephoto camera to take a picture, and Tang Tian turned his telescope elsewhere.

In a relatively low-lying place, a group of African wild buffalo gathered.

There should be a pond there.

Wild buffaloes have large horns and horns. Even the peak lioness is afraid to attack them at will.

At that stop, they directly occupied the entire water source.

Other animals can only wait outside, and wait for them to drink before entering.

This is the magical place in the African grasslands, where predators and prey are in a relatively balanced state.

However, he was watching. Suddenly a lame female lion entered Tang Tian's sight.

It has a swollen belly and looks like it hasn't eaten in a while.

Before Tang Tian had seen some of Zhao Zhongxiang's programs, he still had some understanding of the survival of African lions.

The most impressed is the African lion and the "flat-headed brother" honey badger. Honey badger is not afraid of the African lion.

But in fact, the root cause of African lions not fighting with honey badgers is that the payout ratio is very low, and the risks are very high.

Winning is just a small piece of meat, but once injured, it is likely to face death.

Here, the laws of nature are cruel.

Just like this lioness that Tang Tian saw, he could not finish hunting because of his injuries. He was hungry. The combat effectiveness was further reduced. Death was only a matter of time.

"What are you looking at?"

Olson's voice came at this time.

"That lion is so poor. Does he want to drink water?"

Olson should have picked up the telescope and looked over there.

"Not necessarily, it looks hungry."

Tang Tian said.

When he said this, his tone was a little surprised, because the lioness was already in a state of attack.

But an injured lioness attacking such a wild buffalo herd is almost like suicide.

"what!"

In the scream of Olson ~ www.novelhall.com ~ the lioness rushed towards the buffalo herd, and its target was a baby buffalo.

But before it rushed, the adult buffalo next to them all stood together to protect the baby buffalo, and the buffalo on the periphery even used horns to top the lioness.

The lioness' response seemed a bit sluggish, and her belly was almost pierced. Although she avoided it, she was still injured, and blood was flowing from it.

It limped away from the buffalo herd, and stood unwillingly for a long time in the distance before leaving with a bowed head.

It should not be far from death.

Olson was distressed.

But Tang Tian didn't react much.

If a lioness really kills a baby buffalo, then it should be distressed again.

Just like the guides they used to drive away baboons to get breadfruit, Africa's law of natural competition is the most direct, and the strong survive. Remember the website URL, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu, you can enter this site
