Beast Studio

Arrive at Professor Pats' base.

The base is located in the estuary delta of the Rusixi River, not far from Lake Tanganyiko. Nile crocodiles are often found in the estuary delta.

"Liu! Let's go to the base to rest first!" Pats invited.

Liu Wei followed and walked into the room at the base.

Pats took Liu Wei into his research room.

In the research room, apart from the common experimental equipment, the most eye-catching thing is a wall covered with photos.

Liu Wei couldn't help but walked to the photo wall and took a closer look.

These photos are all about Gustav.

Pats explained to Liu Wei: "These photos are now precious scientific research materials."

Most of the photos are photos taken by Pats of Gustav's daily activities, but there are also some hair-raising photos.

It's like a murder scene in a criminal investigation TV series.

Liu Wei pointed to the bodies missing body parts lying on the river bank and said: "Are these all humans attacked by Gustav?"

Pats nodded, "That's all I found, but I learned from the villagers that there were even more bloody scenes!"

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also stunned when they saw these photos.

"I'm going to vomit!"

"How disgusting!"

"Reminds me of a certain corpse dismemberment case!"

"Gustav took one bite and almost half of his body was gone!"

"I suddenly felt a little scared!"

Liu Wei said calmly: "Brothers, the villagers do not have a deep understanding of species such as Nile crocodiles, and they will make some unwise behaviors when facing Nile crocodiles, leading to tragedy.

I have taken you to see many crocodiles. In fact, this kind of thing can be avoided! "

Pats said: "Liu, I have seen videos of you approaching crocodiles before. What impressed me the most was the saltwater crocodile captured in the swamps of the Philippines.

To be honest, I wouldn’t dare to get close to a crocodile of that size. "

"Professor Paters, your research is more academically theoretical, while I am more practical. We are complementary!" Liu Wei said modestly, giving the old professor face.

Pats also heard some flattery and smiled, "After visiting the base, I will take you to see the Nile crocodiles in the estuary delta!"

"OK!"

Liu Wei photographed Pats's base and explained, "Brothers, what you have seen is the research laboratory of the most authoritative expert in the industry. Professor Pats has accumulated decades of research results here. You should feel lucky!"

After the live broadcast at the research base, Liu Wei followed Pats out to the estuary delta.

Pats first took Liu Wei to the place where Gustav had appeared and where he laid the trap more than ten years ago.

Today, the iron cage, which is more than one meter high and weighs one ton, is still there. It has experienced rain, wind and frost, and the outside of the iron cage is rusty.

"Brothers, this is the trap that Professor Paters set to capture Gustav!" Liu Wei photographed. "It is bigger than the trap we set when we captured the Sumatran tiger, and it is enough to hold two animals. The man is a tiger!"

Pats pointed to the iron cage and said: "In order to lure Gustav, we used a live buffalo weighing 800kg as bait. At that time, several scientific expedition teams and local armed forces participated in the capture operation.

We stayed around for three days, but the result was not ideal. Gustav didn't take the bait. He was too cunning! "

"The Nile crocodile has the highest IQ among all crocodiles, not to mention that Gustav's lifespan at that time had already reached 60 years. In Chinese terms, he has become a spirit even if he has never seen strong winds and waves!" Liu Wei Excuse Professor Paters.

Pats nodded: "At that time, our capture methods were also very immature!"

Get out of the trap.

The two of them walked directly to the river beach.

The heads of Nile crocodiles are emerging from the water one after another in the river.

Several crocodiles lay on the river beach basking in the sun.

Crocodiles are cold-blooded animals, which does not mean that their blood has no temperature. On the contrary, the normal temperature of crocodile blood is between 30-38°C. They need to go ashore regularly to absorb sunlight to maintain the temperature of the blood in their bodies.

The Nile crocodile moving in the footage is average in size for its species.

They are all around three and a half meters tall.

The way they hold their bodies and drag their tails as they walk gives people a strong visual impact.

Just imagine the visual shock that Gustav, who is more than six meters long, brings to people.

Soon, Liu Wei's eyes were fixed on a Nile crocodile with a relatively prominent length.

The black spots on the armor slowly faded and were gradually covered with black. The skin on both sides of the abdomen turned yellow, with obvious black spots scattered around.

The little eyes looked around for a while, then climbed up to the shore, lay motionless on the shore, and enjoyed the sunbath.

Pats noticed Liu Wei's eyes on it and introduced, "It is the largest Nile crocodile that has been active in the Delta in recent years, measuring 4.35 meters. I call him TANK!"

Liu Wei smiled.

Professor Paters is probably a military fan and likes to name heavy weapons.

Gustav!

tank!

Liu Weidao: "I'll go up and have a look!"

"Be safe!" Pats wasn't too worried about Liu Wei. After all, Liu Wei had come into contact with crocodiles bigger than tanks.

Liu Wei was quickly noticed by Tank, who did not react excessively.

"OK! I know you have started paying attention to me, I just want to see you! So you don't have to worry at all and continue to enjoy your sunbathing!"

Liu Wei didn't get too close either.

Observed for a while from head to toe.

He knelt down and fell into thinking.

Seeing Liu Wei's state, Pats stepped forward.

"Liu! What's wrong?" Pats asked.

Liu Wei told the truth: "Professor Pats, are you sure it is the largest Nile crocodile around?"

Pats nodded and said with certainty: "I observe them every day. I regard them as the descendants of Gustav. Among the second and third generation crocodiles, Tank is the largest!"

After hearing this, Liu Wei became even more confused.

Here comes the problem.

"Professor Paters, the hierarchy of Nile crocodiles is very simple. The larger the size, the higher the status. That means Tank should be the crocodile with the highest status here!" Liu Wei pointed at Tank and said.

Pats nodded, not understanding what Liu Wei wanted to express, "Liu! What did you find?"

Liu Wei pointed at Tank's body from beginning to end, "Look, there isn't a single serious injury on Tank's body! Don't you think it's strange?"

Pats suddenly understood and followed Liu Wei's thinking: "Nile crocodiles have a strong sense of territory. When driving away intruders, there will definitely be fights, especially when they capture prey!"

Liu Wei nodded and said: "Yes, Professor Paters, the crocodile king is not willing to share food with other crocodiles, but it is difficult for it to cut large prey alone. Even if it is unwilling to share, other crocodiles will take the initiative to approach it. It tears the prey in its mouth and takes a piece of the pie. In the end, the crocodile king eats only a small amount of prey, which is far less than the amount of food it eats.

The crocodile king will vent his hatred for being robbed of food, so fighting behaviors often occur among the Nile crocodile group, and injuries are inevitable, but there are no obvious wounds on Tank! "
