Chapter 888 The Most Handsome Cat
A perfect hunt!
As the wildebeests were crossing the river, Halley presented a wonderful performance that was completely different from the impression that countless audiences had had before, showing what a true cheetah posture is!
Only the cheetah galloping on the grassland is the real son of the wind.
[The most handsome cat, not to mention the others (funny)]
[Then there is nothing to talk about (dog head)]
[Don’t want to talk? Then don’t talk about it (flipping the table)]
[Leo: I think we should talk about other things; Tiger: I second the motion]
[Snow Leopard: Are we really not going to talk about anything else?]
The audience who witnessed this scene were all screaming with excitement. If they were there, they would definitely stand up and applaud wildly.
Various words of praise were thrown out crazily, occupying more than half of all the comments.
Similarly, thanks to the Ferry of the Sky River and the Cheetah Awakening Hunting Moment, the number of viewers has been rising rapidly, and now has reached a terrifying 16 million viewers watching simultaneously.
[So cool, the king of speed!!!]
[Awake, time to hunt! ]
[It is truly a work of art by nature, the lines are extremely beautiful]
[Speed ceiling for land organisms]
[Is this shot the prototype of the syrup? ]
[You work overtime in the factory to screw in screws in order to support your family]
[Something slipped out and ran over]
The live broadcast room, which had been silent due to the stagnant atmosphere, regained its vitality again, and the barrage of comments gushed out like a volcanic eruption.
Harley bit the wildebeest's throat tightly, and his abdomen swelled greatly at a very high frequency, obviously consuming a huge amount of physical energy.
A herd of wildebeests ran past just a few meters away from it, and the dust they raised could even stick to Harley's wet nostrils, but none of them stopped to help their companions. They all followed the pace of the large group, displaying the law of survival nakedly in a ruthless way.
To a certain extent, this rule also protects the exhausted Harley.
The wildebeests behind were still crossing the river, originally going down one after another and forming a single file.
Now it has grown to seven or eight rows and continues to widen. The team is getting bigger and bigger. If Harley doesn't move, he may be overwhelmed by the expanding wildebeest herd, and then he will be in danger.
Bifang interlocked his thumb and index finger into a ring, put it to his mouth and blew a very loud whistle.
When wildebeests cross the river, the whole world is drowned in the sound of their footsteps, noisy and dull, and only the high-frequency sharp whistles can be effectively transmitted.
Bifang explained loudly to the confused audience: "According to the people at the protection center, the whistle gave Hamid the original instructions for Harley."
"Hamid used to take the cheetahs for a run on the savannah. Sometimes the cheetahs would run away and disappear. At this time, he would use a whistle to call them back. Halley was very sensitive to this."
Sure enough, the penetrating whistle was accurately transmitted to Harley's ear canal, and it heard the command.
After receiving the order, Harley subconsciously dragged the prey away from the wildebeest herd, that is, in the direction of Bifang.
Although very tired, it managed to move away from the growing wildebeest stream little by little, ensuring its own safety. As Harley's strength recovered, its speed became faster and faster.
When hunting wildebeests, Bifang has reduced the difficulty to a minimum by grasping the timing.
Although Harley was a novice, he was not exhausted yet, so Bifang did not go up to help.
The best way to guide a cheetah to adapt to the wild environment is to let it survive independently as much as possible.
Five minutes later, Harley, who had been biting the wildebeest's neck, loosened his grip and lay on the ground, panting.
After such a long time, the wildebeest was suffocated and died completely.
Bifang did not quickly dissect the prey that Harley had hunted alone, but instead stayed where it was, quietly waiting for Harley to recover.
"We have sufficient supplies now, including furs or tools. The most important role of this wildebeest is to let Harley know which part of the prey is the most juicy and cost-effective to eat."
"Similarly, we also need to let Harley rest and move the prey to a safe area to prevent his food from being taken away. This is very important for cheetahs."

[You can catch prey as much as you want. If you take a bite, all grassland carnivores will lose (funny)]
[Nature is really full of pitfalls. It is not easy to survive]
Bifang killed a mosquito biting his skin and flicked its body away with a flick of his finger.
There is abundant water vapor by the river, and with continuous rain and so many animals crossing the river, this extremely comfortable environment has caused the number of mosquitoes nearby to increase to a terrifying level.
With the last rays of light after sunset, looking carefully at the sky feels like staring at the snowy screen of an old TV with no signal.
"Well, it would be great if all the blood-sucking mosquitoes died. The disappearance of mosquitoes won't have much impact on the ecology anyway."
Once the number increases, even the mosquito repellent grass carefully prepared by Bifang is no longer effective.
This made Bifang, who was waiting for the cheetah to recover its strength, complain rarely, but his unintentional words caused heated discussion among netizens.
[Will the disappearance of mosquitoes affect the ecology? 】
[Fuck, is this true? How is this possible?]
"Ah, I just said it casually." Bifang touched the back of his head and laughed, "But there is some evidence that it does not affect the ecology. A study published in Nature magazine believes that no species relies entirely on mosquitoes to survive."
"Biologist Olivia Judson has also advocated for the extinction of 30 mosquito species, arguing that eliminating the 30 most harmful mosquito species would save 1 million lives and only reduce the genetic diversity of the mosquito family by 1%."
How is it possible that mosquitoes disappear without harming mosquito predators?
Bifang shook his head: "No, mosquitoes are not the only source of food for those creatures."
"Moreover, most plants that rely on mosquitoes for pollination can also be pollinated by other insects. Mosquitoes do not exist as so-called 'keystone species' and no ecosystem will collapse due to the disappearance of mosquitoes."
"The only exception might be the Arctic tundra, but there the mosquito species do not transmit disease and could be preserved."
"Other organisms will fill the gap left by the elimination of mosquitoes."
"So if mosquitoes disappear, the animals that feed on them will decrease in number , but they won't go extinct."
"Plants that rely on mosquitoes for pollination will also decline, but they won't go extinct. No organism is completely dependent on mosquitoes for survival, so if mosquitoes disappear, it won't have much of an impact on the ecosystem."
"What is most likely to happen is that mosquitoes will be replaced by species from other groups of the suborder Longicornis, except the family Culicidae, including species from the families Ceratidae, Simulidae, Mothflyidae, Net-growing Midges, Gallflies, Myrmecophaga, Chironomidae, Tenuidae, and Serranidae."
"With fewer competitors from the mosquito family and possibly fewer predators, these groups of species may see an explosion in numbers, and animals that originally preyed on mosquitoes will switch to preying on these groups, which is probably equivalent to replacement?"
"This situation is relatively rare."
[Fuck, this is a new experience]
[I haven't heard of it, but I don't know why it's so impressive]
[Awesome, some strange knowledge has been added]
[Oh my god, this knowledge is a bit shocking to me. ]
"But I said it at the beginning, I was just saying it casually, just to complain, in fact, even if mosquitoes are exterminated, it will not be of any use."
"According to Xuematan's point of view, eliminating mosquitoes will not have much impact on the ecosystem, but the ecological niches vacated by mosquitoes will be quickly filled by other similar species, some of which can bite humans and suck blood."
"Just like when one bad guy is punished, another bad guy will emerge, and the animals that originally preyed on mosquitoes will also prey on these species, and the ecosystem will return to a state of balance."
"Okay , the cheetah's strength has almost recovered. We should leave quickly."
After a brief introduction to some knowledge points, Harley's physical strength has recovered a little, and he can perform some energy-consuming actions.
Bifang stood up and walked away, calling Harley to continue moving forward with him and the prey.
