live animal world

Chapter 249 248. Pros and Cons
The pack of wild dogs became agitated, caught off guard by the sudden appearance of two top predators.

The dog king stood still on the spot, straightened his chest and scanned the two giant beasts running forward. The situation in front of him was unexpected. He never expected that the crocodile and monitor lizard would appear at the same time.

Su Yun stood on the tree and looked down, his gaze paused on the dead alligator lying on his back and said, "Look at the anus of this dead alligator, that part has been torn apart, but the anus has not appeared bones, which means the dead alligator was a female."

Comparing the length of the running crocodile with the dead crocodile, Su Yundao said, "The running crocodile in front of me is about five meters in size. It is obviously a male crocodile, because the female Crocodiles can only reach a maximum length of three meters."

After a pause, Su Yun continued, "So the male crocodile in front of me should not be attracted by the smell of food. The purpose of his trip should be to find female crocodiles in his territory to mate. After all, it's time for mating." season.”

"The female crocodile was alive 10 minutes ago, and it seems that the air is still filled with the smell of female hormones, but before the male, she was killed by wild dogs here, and what the male crocodile sees now , there is only this body that is still warm."

"Of course, this is my guess. It is very likely that the males are attracted by the smell of blood."

"But the purpose of the male crocodile's trip remains the same. His purpose is still the female crocodile, but before it was to mate with her, and now it is to fill her stomach. After all, they will accept any food that comes."

Saying that, Su Yun pointed to the Australian monitor lizard that was going straight to the prey and said, "But this lizard is definitely attracted by the smell of blood. Their sense of smell is very good. Have you seen the forked tongue it revealed? Is it the same as the snake's?" The tongues look exactly the same? Not only do they look the same, they also function similarly."

"It's all about collecting the smells contained in the air."

"Similarly, Australian monitor lizards will not refuse any food."

As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, he saw that the dog king didn't seem to want to conflict with these two giant beasts. After a low growl, the rest of the wild dogs stopped their low threats, dragged the unfinished food in front of them, turned around and walked away. Walk.

They may be able to drag the wild dog corpses away quickly, but the two-meter-sized alligator corpse was not eaten much at all, which did not reduce the weight much. Maybe they can drag it, but they definitely cannot walk fast. .

However, the greedy dogs did not want to give up the carcass of the crocodile. They tried their best to drag the crocodile for a few steps, but were frightened away by the Australian monitor lizard that rushed straight towards it.

In the blink of an eye, the group of dingoes cursed and disappeared into the woods, leaving the crocodile carcass behind.

As soon as the monitor lizard arrived on its front feet, the crocodile on its back also came close. Before the monitor lizard, which had just chased off the dingo, had a bite of food, it met the crocodile.

In an instant, the two sides were confronting each other.

"On one side is the largest reptile in the world, and on the other side is the largest lizard in Australia. If there is a fight, I'm really not sure who will win." Su Yun rubbed the stubble that had just grown on his chin, frowning and thinking road.

【I crush the crocodile!The anchors have said that this is the largest reptile in the world, and it is also a cold-blooded animal. The monitor lizard is also a cold-blooded reptile, but its size is not as big as the crocodile, so there is no comparison at all. 】

[If this comparison can determine the outcome, the anchor will not know who wins and who loses?The anchor is not sure whether to win or lose, and there must be a reason for it. 】

[The anchor will go down and be the referee, the one who wins will get the crocodile corpse, and the one who loses will get the anchor, the best of both worlds. 】

Su Yun rolled his eyes, won't your conscience hurt when you speak like this?

Looking at the two giant beasts that grabbed the body of the crocodile but did not move, Su Yun said, "There is indeed a reason why we are not sure who will win and who will lose."

"Compared with the male crocodile, this monitor lizard is only about 2/3 of the length of the crocodile. From its size, it can be judged that this monitor lizard is an adult. An adult monitor lizard can fight more than 2— —An opponent whose weight is about 8 times the weight is also very powerful.”

"The crocodile is ridiculously strong, and the Australian monitor lizard is not bad either. If we really fight, it depends on who can take the lead. Whoever takes the lead will get a greater advantage, but the final result will definitely be a lose-lose situation."

"So, when these two fight, it's really hard to guess who will win and who will lose."

A low roar sounded from the throat of the crocodile. As an overlord with a body length of 5 meters and almost no rivals in the river area, the Australian monitor lizard dared to compete with it for food. It was intolerable and its patience was exhausted. A critical value has been reached, and it seems that the next moment it will explode.

The Australian monitor lizard took a look at the crocodile, and took two steps back. It seemed that it was unwilling to fight with it. In fact, even if it could kill prey that was several times larger than itself, it was not worth it because of a meal, and the risk was too great. .

As the top hunters in Australia, they absolutely understand each other, and they lose both sides in the fight. Bacterial infection can definitely kill half the monitor lizard, but crocodiles are born to be disliked by bacteria and viruses, so after the fight, the crocodile is still It is still the overlord, but the monitor lizard is likely to be attacked by other animals because of its wound infection.

Crossing its body, the Australian monitor lizard looked sideways at the crocodile, walked around it slowly, and left slowly, and the position it left was exactly where Su Yun was hiding.

Su Yun nodded, "That's right. It would be the most outrageous thing to fight, but it's normal for one side to give in."

"This is not admitting cowardice, this is the best choice after weighing the pros and cons."

[I thought it was a three-party fight, but I didn't expect the wild dogs to run away when they saw something bad, and then they ran away after thinking about it. There are also crocodiles and lizards. Who would have thought that these two would not fight, I have all the snacks ready . 】

[Why do I always feel that the giant lizard in front of me is scarier than the crocodile. 】

[The reason why you find it creepy is probably because the tongue it sticks out is the same as that of a snake. 】

The Australian monitor lizard scanned the surroundings left and right, catching the smell in the air with its tongue. Seeing the monitor lizard approaching, Su Yun stopped talking, so as not to make a sound to attract the other party's attention and be attacked by the other party.

But what Su Yun didn't notice was that the Australian monitor lizard spit out its tongue faster.

The parrot stared directly at the other party. It always felt that the other party had bad intentions. Why did the monitor lizard go in their direction in so many directions?

Su Yun also had some doubts in his heart, did the other party's tongue taste the smell he exuded in the air?Otherwise, why did the other party want to come to them?But there is no way, Su Yun dare not move, what if people don't find out?If it moves, isn't it an active exposure?

With this kind of luck, Su Yun clenched the branch tightly and used the corner of his eye to nervously pay attention to the approaching monitor lizard.

But the next moment, this fluke mentality was ruthlessly erased by the Australian monitor lizard, and the other party's slow body suddenly accelerated, looked up at Su Yun, and ran straight to the tree trunk at the same time.
