Beast Studio

Termites scurry around headlessly in the cave.

The giant anteater was lying on the anthill, looking like it was enjoying itself.

After licking for a moment, it stopped, stood next to the anthill, twitched its nose, and looked around.

"I am full?"

"The way you eat it, you'll be full after just a few bites!"

Liu Wei smiled and said: "You have misunderstood. The giant anteater has a very large appetite. It can swallow 30,000 to 40,000 ants every day. In just a while, it only eats a few thousand at most. There are still many ants in the cave. It is not ready Continued licking.

The giant anteater implements a sustainable development strategy. Unlike the sun bears we encountered before, it will lick up the ant nests cleanly and make a full meal.

It will take into account the recovery status of the entire ant colony, and the amount of food it eats cannot exceed the ability of the ant colony to recover, so that there is still food to eat next time.

So you see, although the giant anteater's movements are very rough when digging the ant nest, there are subtleties in the roughness!"

Liu Wei pointed to the caves opened by it and said, "Several main caves were not destroyed, but the structure on the edge of the ant hill was damaged. The soldier ants in the termite colony have extremely strong repair capabilities. It takes less than half a day to do so." , the place destroyed by the anthill will be repaired.

The giant anteater knows that as long as the anthill is not completely destroyed, the termites will not leave, and they can come here to eat next time without having to look for it! "

"A bit smart!"

“The anchor’s sustainable development strategy is well used!”

"You're kidding, great student, you're very knowledgeable about politics!"

"This live broadcast room exudes a cultural atmosphere at all times, which makes me feel out of place!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Wei looked at the barrage and laughed, "Actually, there is another important reason for the giant anteater to give up eating, because the soldier ants in the termite colony are slow to react, and the giant anteater must Eat as much as you can before the soldier ant reacts, and once the soldier starts fighting back, its tongue will suffer unbearable pain."

Liu Wei turned his head and looked at the giant anteater that was licking its tongue and asked, "Am I right?"

It seems that its tongue has been bitten by a few soldier ants. It is a bit uncomfortable and needs to secrete mucus to heal it.

The tongue of the giant anteater is rich in mucus. There are two main types of mucus, one is mucus secreted by the salivary glands, and the other is mucus secreted by the parotid glands, which helps lick termites and repair wounds.

The giant anteater lay on the ground again, dragging its tail and hurried forward crookedly.

"It's going to the next place to eat!"

Liu Wei followed all the way.

The giant anteater has fully acknowledged that Liu Wei can move around him, and did not make any angry movements while walking with him.

This time, it chose an ant nest located on a slope.

I dug out the hole casually.

Then he stuck his long tongue inside.

Also hesitant, very fast.

"Anteater's most loving food is termites, and ants can only make do with it, so if you look closely at its expression, it doesn't look like it's enjoying it as much as it did just now.

But in order to fill its stomach, it can only ignore the taste of food! "

Liu Wei was leaning on the slope, tilting his head to observe the giant anteater. He looked a little ugly as he stared intently at the cave.

Reaching out and touching its back, the giant anteater stopped eating and glanced at Liu Wei.

"I'll help you! You keep eating!" Liu Wei spread his hands and said.

The giant anteater turned his head again to study the ant cave.

Liu Wei: "Its body fur is very thick, not easily punctured, and has a strong protective effect. It has few natural enemies in the wild and its survivability is also extremely strong.

But human hunting has brought it to the brink of extinction simply because its meat is edible.

At first, the original inhabitants of the Amazon basin regarded it as prey, and later it became a dish on many restaurant tables. Although governments have paid attention to it and formulated corresponding protection policies, it has been difficult for this species to return to normal wild populations. .

The food habits of giant anteaters protected and raised in zoos have been changed. They eat more insects and nuts, because raising ants in zoos is a very troublesome and costly thing. Giant anteaters kept in zoos gradually lost the licking ability we see today after eating insects and nuts for a long time.

Brothers, we are very lucky today to be able to meet a wild giant anteater and learn about its life by observing its behavior. "

“Other countries should also legislate to ban the consumption of wild game!”

“This problem has not been completely cured!”

"Catch them when they should be arrested, sentence them when they should be sentenced, be decisive!"

"I may only see this thing in Ah Wei's live broadcast room in my life!"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly became a little heavy.

The giant anteater suddenly turned its head, raised its long nose, and stared at Liu Wei with its small eyes. It looked innocent and made the audience laugh wildly.

"Hahaha, you broke it in one second!" Liu Wei couldn't help laughing, "You're too funny! Brothers are still feeling sympathy for you!"

It didn't understand what Liu Wei was talking about. It had almost eaten in this hole and needed to rush to the next hole, so it lay down and continued to move forward.

Liu Wei followed him until it was full. After it was full, the giant anteater rolled twice on the ground, stroking its belly with its two forelimbs and lying on the ground.

"Are you going to rest? I'll leave then?" Liu Wei said.

He turned around and walked a few steps, looked back, and found the giant anteater looking at him.

"What? You don't want me to leave!" Liu Wei said narcissistically.

He thought that the giant anteater would follow him. After meeting the beast before and establishing a good relationship, the beast would follow him for a certain distance.

This time he was overthinking.

The giant anteater did not follow.

Liu Wei shook his head and smiled, feeling so good about himself.

Return the way you came.

Mr. De has already set up the camp and is sitting on the ground to rest.

"Liu, did it run away?" Mr. De turned around and asked.

"I'm full and I'm resting!" Liu Wei said.

"Liu, it's behind you!" Mr. De said in surprise when he turned around and observed the giant anteater's slender head.

"Um?"

Liu Wei looked back and smiled, "Aren't you taking a rest?"

The giant anteater came out from behind the tree trunk and tried to get close to Liu Wei.

Mr. De was a little excited. It was the first time he saw it at such a close distance. He stood up immediately and forgot to put down the saber he had just used to chop down the tree.

His movements frightened the giant anteater.

The giant anteater was startled, stood up instantly, spread its arms, and danced a few times in a seemingly ferocious manner.

Liu Wei kept laughing, "You misunderstood again!"

He quickly said to Mr. De: "Master De, the knife in your hand scared it!"

Mr. De scratched his head and smiled, put the knife on the ground, then squatted and waved to the giant anteater, looking up at Liu Wei, "Liu, it's so cute!"

Liu Wei laughed and said: "The audience thought it was ugly!"

Mr. De smiled and said: "Ugly and cute!"

The giant anteater waved its claws twice more to scare Mr. De.

"Hahaha, Mr. De, it seems to understand what you said!" Liu Wei observed its silly and cute look and laughed.

Mr. De walked up with a smile and said softly, "You are not ugly, you are very cute. I like cute animals like you the most! Can you let me touch you?"
