Chapter 124 An episode in the forest

"That's really great, I just want to see animals and precious plants!! We still remember the orchids and Dendrobium jagged-blooded that you showed us before." Ye Lan laughed at the side.

"Brother Xiang took us on this road today, and we cherish plants even more! Don't worry." Luo Chen was quite familiar with this area, and explained.

Sure enough, within half an hour of walking, everyone saw a faint taupe animal walking among the bushes on a cliff, making rustling noises.

The leader Xiang Tian made a silent gesture, and the drone quickly flew towards the cliff.

"Anchor, what kind of animal is that not far ahead?" Ah Fei whispered beside him.

"It should be a pangolin. We'll see what the drone can capture later." Xiang Tian looked at the crowd and said.

Sure enough, as the drone approached slowly, the high-definition camera captured this mysterious animal.

The pangolin has a long and narrow body, with scales all over its body, short and thick limbs, a flat and long tail, and a slightly raised back.

At this time, it is next to a termite nest half a person's height, digging open the termite nest with its claws, sticking out its long tongue, and is concentrating on foraging for food.

"Fuck, this is a pangolin!!! It feels almost like an armadillo!!"

"The scales of this pangolin are so beautiful!!"

"Don't you think the pangolin is also cute? Look at the way it sticks out its tongue to lick termites!!"

"Is it true that pangolin scales can be used as medicine? Anchor!"

Fans in the live broadcast room watched the pangolin on the screen shoot bullets.

Ma Youqian was on the side, and Ye Lan and the others naturally saw the screen from the drone, and they didn't speak for a while.

“It’s true that it’s a pangolin, but I want to correct everyone. The scales of this kind of pangolin have no medicinal value, so they can’t be used as medicine at all, and many people say that pangolins have nourishing and health-preserving effects. In fact, the nutritional value is similar to that of ordinary chicken. "

"It's just that some diners like to eat these weird things, so they spread rumors and praised pangolin as a good nourishing food."

"In addition, this wild animal contains parasites, so it is not recommended for everyone to eat."

Xiang Tian looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room and explained.

"The anchor is right in saying this! If there is no sale, there will be no killing!" Ye Lan on the side echoed.

"Pangolins like to dig burrows in the grass at the foot of the mountain or in the weedy places in the weeds and bushes on the hills."

"It's nocturnal, we are actually very lucky to see this pangolin during the day!"

"When a pangolin encounters an enemy, it will curl up into a ball. The hard shell makes it difficult for the beast to bite or swallow. This is their key defense."

"In addition, the pangolin's shell is composed of an organic skeletal structure called keratin, which accounts for about 20% of the pangolin's total weight. When large predators try to bite the pangolin into a ball, the pangolin also uses muscles to make the scales Perform a cutting motion and slit the enemy's mouth."

"And the mouth of the animal trying to eat the pangolin will be cut, and it will be able to escape smoothly."

Yang Wei, who was at the end of the team, also started to popularize science for everyone present.

"Okay, let this little guy continue to forage here, let's be careful, don't disturb it, let's go this way!" Xiang Tian called back the drone, and led everyone cautiously towards the woods walk in.

Entering this mountain forest, the hearts of the group were raised. It is already July and the weather is relatively hot. This is also the season when snakes are most frequent.

"Everyone, be careful about the vines on your heads and the fallen leaves under your feet, especially around the fallen dead trees. The ecology of our reserve is very good. There are not only poisonous snakes, scorpions, but also a lot of spiders." Luo Chen also told everyone at the beginning. exhorted.

Luo Chen has five or six years of forest protection experience, and he is aware of the active poisonous snakes and beasts of this generation.

It's okay to encounter ordinary poisonous snakes, but it will be troublesome if you encounter poisonous snakes such as branding iron head, bamboo leaf green, or crossing mountain peaks.

Fortunately, the group of people were very talkative, so they couldn't help slowing down, and began to observe the movement around their feet.

"Anchor, what is the most poisonous snake in the Lingnan Reserve?? Are there any pythons!?" Peng Jia stuck out her tongue and asked curiously.

"In our Lingnan Reserve, there are more than 30 species of snakes alone, of which there are eighteen or nine species of venomous snakes. The more common non-venomous snakes include black-headed snakes, red snakes, and king snakes (cauliflower snakes). "

"There are many types of poisonous snakes. There are Huaxia cobras that are unique to our Lingnan side, Guoshanfeng, Zhuyeqing, branding iron head, and Agkistrosmus viper! Wait."

"The most dangerous ones are the iron head and the Agkistrodon. They prefer to hide in this kind of fallen leaves. The color blends with the environment. If you accidentally bite them, it will be dangerous. There are also mountain peaks. , that is, the king cobra, it has a thick body and is very aggressive, and it likes to eat other kinds of snakes." Xiang Tian explained as he walked.

"Good guy, there are so many poisonous snakes in this protected area? It's too scary!" Jia Haoren, who was following behind everyone, shrank his neck and glanced at the bottom of his feet, muttering.

"The golden krait, the silver krait, do we have it here?" Wang Daqian became interested when he heard the snake.

"Krait, we don't have any here yet, but we also have coral snakes, but the number is small, so it's not easy to meet." Yang Wei said.

"Is the corona poisonous? Compared with Agkistrodon? Who is more poisonous?" Ma Youqian asked in a low voice, his chubby body trembling.

"The corona and Agkistrodon you mentioned are both poisonous snakes, but compared to the toxicity, Corona viper is better. The main toxin of Agkistrodon is hemolytic toxin composed of protein, and this A toxin is more intensely hemorrhagic."

"After being bitten by Agkistrodon, I think everyone has heard Xiang Ge's popular science before. The victim will have immediate symptoms of wound pain and bleeding, and then swelling, blisters, tissue gangrene and ulcers."

"The body length of the coral snake is about 1.2 meters. It has black and white rings all over its body, which is easy to distinguish. Its venom glands are small, but its poison is extremely violent. It is the most poisonous in the family of snakes."

"In fact, it is the fourth most venomous snake on land after the taipan, eastern pseudocobra and taipan."

"The venom of the coral snake is a neurotoxin. When a person is bitten, he will not feel pain, but will want to sleep."

"When slightly poisoned, local paralysis occurs in the body, so some people don't know it after being bitten, which leads to a very high fatality rate after being bitten by the coral snake."

"However, corona snakes are relatively gentle and don't take the initiative to attack people, so few people have seen them. They like cool and humid ridges and places near water sources. We have to pay attention at night."

"Corona snakes like to hide and come out at night. When the weather is muggy in the evening or early morning, they come out to look for food, so if we want to camp at night, we must sprinkle some snake repelling powder around the camp." At the end, Luo Chen looked at the crowd and explained.

Xiang Tian was quite satisfied with Luo Chen's explanation, and immediately gave a thumbs up.

"It turns out that the corona snake is more poisonous than the Agkistrodon halys! Be careful at night, you don't feel the bite, it's really scary." Ye Lan and Peng Jia looked at each other and said.
