Animals all over the world love me

The ostrich carried Zhuang Mu all the way forward, and attracted more than a dozen other ostriches to form a team and run wildly.

Xia Jingshen and the film crew followed closely behind, but they were thrown off by the ostrich team after a while.

Because the body structure of an ostrich is completely different from that of a horse, Zhuang Mu can't move freely when riding on it.

It is difficult to ride even a horse without a saddle, let alone an ostrich with no anchors on its back.

In addition, the running speed of the ostrich is super fast, and the speed can reach more than 80 kilometers per hour, so Zhuang Mu can't do anything other than clamping the body of the ostrich tightly with his legs and holding the neck of the ostrich tightly with his hands. Make other actions.

In theory, it is not very difficult to control the direction of the ostrich. You only need to twist the neck of the ostrich to make the eyes of the ostrich look in other directions, and the ostrich will naturally adjust its direction.

However, doing so is easy to say, but very difficult to implement!

Ostrich jockeys who have received long-term training may not be able to control ostriches to turn freely, and the venue for riding ostriches is generally on a specially repaired flat runway. This is the first time for Zhuang Mu to ride an ostrich, or in the wild with complex terrain , It would be great to not be thrown off, let alone control the ostrich to turn.

As for how to stop the ostrich, he didn't even know.

In his knowledge reserve, there is really no way to stop a fast-running ostrich safely.

He has tried hard to convey his inner thoughts to the ostrich many times in his heart, hoping that the ostrich can stop.

However, the ostrich seemed to be running happily and didn't care about Zhuang Mu's thoughts at all.Of course, in order to prevent Zhuang Mu from falling, the ostrich raised its wings slightly upwards, and at the same time kept its head up and chest out, so that Zhuang Mu could sit more securely on its back.

However, because Zhuang Mu had never run on an ostrich, he didn't know what posture was more suitable for riding an ostrich.

Or, more accurately, there is no such thing as an ostrich-riding position at all.

The only solution to the whole thing at present is that the ostrich is tired from running and is willing to stop.

Only in this way can Zhuang Mu ensure that he can get off the ostrich's back unscathed.

Otherwise, at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, it is still in the "meat wrapped meat" mode without a protective full sunroof. Zhuang Mu estimated that if he let go of his hands now, he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in bed.

Running and running, the speed of the ostrich began to slow down, Zhuang Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would finally stop soon.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ostrich suddenly found several convertible jeeps in front of him.

As mentioned earlier, the ostrich, a special bird, can't see anything blocking it.

During its running, whenever anything appeared in front of it, it would be considered as a provocation.

As a result, the ostrich, which had started to slow down, suddenly increased its speed again.

It was hard to slow down to 50 kilometers per hour just now, and within a dozen seconds, it returned to 80 kilometers per hour.

Zhuang Mu couldn't help cursing: "Damn!"

He had no choice but to clamp the ostrich's body and neck tightly, and continue to be led by the ostrich to run wildly.

When passing those convertible off-road vehicles, Zhuang Mu casually glanced at them.

There are two people sitting in each jeep, there are four cars in total, eight people in total.

The backs of those jeeps were covered with a layer of army-green canvas and looked bulging and oddly contoured.

Because the canvas of one of the jeeps was not tied tightly, the corners were blown up by the wind.

Zhuang Mu caught a glimpse of a few long, thick, blood-stained ivory through the raised gap.

poaching!Zhuang Mu raised his eyebrows.

The ostrich continued to run wildly, and Zhuang Mu's eyes shifted to the passenger seat.

Four eyes facing each other.

The person in the passenger seat of the jeep couldn't help being stunned.

In the passenger seat of the jeep is a European and American guy who looks only in his 20s.

He blinked a little blankly, feeling as if he was hallucinating.

His eyes widened quickly, and with an unbelievable face, he looked at the dozen or so ostriches that kept going away in front of him and Zhuang Mu who was sitting on the back of the ostriches.

Others in the jeep team were also amazed at the sudden scene in front of them.

Who is this?Riding an ostrich?Riding an ostrich on the prairie?

The whole scene is as magical as a game screen.

"Just now, did I read that right? Did someone ride on an ostrich and rush past?" The guy asked the driver who was driving a jeep.

"The man riding the ostrich looks very familiar, as if he's seen it somewhere?" the driver said.

"Where have you seen it?" The young man froze for a moment, and gave him a suspicious look.

"I don't know, it's too fast, I didn't have time to see it clearly, but I think it looks familiar." The driver shook his head and said.

After a pause, he said again: "Is this riding a wild ostrich?"

"It should be domesticated! Who dares to ride in the wild? However, this man dares to ride so fast in the wild, and he is not a coward. If he falls off and is discovered by a lion or something, it will be the end of the game." The boy laughed. laughed.

"He shouldn't have seen the ivory in our truck just now?" the driver said suddenly.

"So what if we see it? Is it possible that he still dares to chase us? If he dares to come back, shoot him directly. If we go to the police, we will be gone by the time the ranger finds us. Hurry up! It's late to go back, I have to be scolded by the boss again," said the boy.

----

Zhuang Mu was riding on the back of the ostrich, with a wry smile in his heart, buddy, is it almost done?My internal organs are about to be knocked out by you.

At the same time, anxiety surged in his heart, not because of his own situation, but because of the four jeeps he saw just now.

From the shape of the canvas covered on the bodies of the four jeeps just now, and the ivory with flesh and blood exposed in the gaps lifted by the wind, many African elephants that were hunted instantly appeared in Zhuang Mu's mind. .

He wanted to call to inform the ranger of the poachers' situation, but adjusted his posture carefully. After touching his pocket, he was stunned to find that the phone had been lost somewhere.

"Go back!" Zhuang Mu gritted his teeth, firmly grasped the ostrich's neck, and turned it to the left.

He had to go back as soon as possible to inform the rangers on the Tanzanian grasslands.

Finally, with Zhuang Mu's efforts, the ostrich started to turn and stopped rushing forward.

----

Xia Jingshen drove the off-road vehicle in the direction where the ostrich was running.

At first, he could vaguely see the ostrich and Zhuang Mu.

However, as time passed, Ostrich and Zhuang Mu disappeared completely.

The speed of the ostrich is 80 kilometers per hour. Logically speaking, it is impossible for an off-road vehicle to catch up.

But ostrich running has a characteristic, because it is a two-legged run, so the ostrich can maintain a speed of 80 kilometers per hour in almost any terrain environment.

But off-road vehicles can't ignore the terrain like ostriches!

Even if the theoretical speed limit of the off-road vehicle can reach more than 100 kilometers per hour, if you encounter some undulating areas on the grassland, you can only reduce the speed if you don't want to overturn the vehicle.

Xia Jingshen was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to speed up impulsively, even more so if the car overturned, he would not be able to catch up.

Fortunately, after arriving in Africa, the film crew required all crew members to keep their GPS on all the time for safety, so Xia Jingshen could still see Zhuang Mu's location through positioning.

Otherwise, he would have gone mad.

Seeing Zhuang Mu's GPS location getting closer and closer, Xia Jingshen breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after a while, his heart raised again.

Because he found that the GPS location was getting closer and closer, but he didn't see Zhuang Mu at all.

At the location indicated by the GPS, Xia Jingshen got out of the car and found Zhuang Mu's phone in the grass.

He scratched his hair, twisted his brows into a "Chuan" character, looked at the endless grassland all around, and felt as if someone was beating a drum with a big drum hammer in his heart.

In this situation, the Tanzanian government can only help in the search and rescue.

Forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart, he was about to call the police station to report the incident.

At this moment, he suddenly found a vague figure in the distance.

He was slightly taken aback, feeling inexplicably looking forward to it.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and he vaguely saw an ostrich running wildly, with a person sitting on its back.

He was instantly overjoyed.

----

Zhuang Mu galloped towards Xia Jingshen riding an ostrich. The ostrich under him seemed to have finally had enough fun. When he got close to Xia Jingshen, he slowed down in advance.

The other dozen or so ostriches did not slow down and continued to charge forward as usual.

After a burst of dust, Zhuang Mu was finally brought back to Xia Jingshen by the ostrich.

"Stop, stop..." Zhuang Mu kept muttering, grabbing the ostrich's neck with both hands and pulling it back, like pulling a rein.

He was almost about to say "Woo...".

After going around the off-road vehicle for a few laps, the ostrich finally stopped and squatted down so that Zhuang Mu could get down.

Zhuang Mu, who got off the ostrich's back, had weak legs and feet, but fortunately Xia Jingshen supported him, otherwise he would have fallen headlong to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Xia Jingshen asked anxiously.

"No..." Zhuang Mu took a few deep breaths and shook his head gently.

Xia Jingshen glared at the ostrich very displeased.

The ostrich looked at Xia Jingshen indifferently, and then continued to dance to Zhuang Mu.

The other party was an animal, and Xia Jingshen couldn't do anything except roll his eyes.

He could only forcibly endure the anger in his heart and tell himself that Zhuang Mu was fine.

Zhuang Mu looked at the ostrich, and shook his head a little bit dumbfounded.

This guy still seems to be very proud of taking him to run just now, and it's a joy to dance.

He regained his strength a bit, and immediately said to Xia Jingshen: "I lost my phone, lend me your phone, I want to call the forest ranger, I just met a poacher."

"A poacher?" Xia Jingshen's expression froze after hearing this, and he immediately handed him Zhuang Mu's cell phone that he picked up just now, "Your cell phone, I just picked it up nearby. How many grave robbers are there?"

"Eight, four jeeps, all of which should be ivory." Zhuang Mu said while taking the phone.

He then immediately called rangers in Tanzania.

According to the information provided by Zhuang Mu, the nearby forest rangers were dispatched immediately, but after searching for a long time, they did not find any trace of the group.

Rangers only found the bodies of [-] elephants whose tusks had been forcibly cut off by a pond.

When Zhuang Mu saw the photo sent by the forest ranger, his heart was heavy and he felt extremely depressed.

When the staff of the camera crew saw the photo of the elephant's dead body, they were immediately outraged.

"Why can't this group of people always be caught?!"

"As long as people buy, poachers will never go away."

"Isn't ivory trading banned in many countries now?"

"Drugs are not strictly prohibited all over the world, and they are still bought by a lot of people."

"After the ivory trade is banned, it will be more difficult to buy ivory. So the price of ivory will be higher, the profit will increase, and more people will poach it."

"So, isn't it useless to do anything?"

Hearing their discussion, Zhuang Mu said firmly, "It's useful! As long as you do it, it will be useful!"

"To completely solve this problem, in addition to arresting these poachers, we must start with raising human awareness of environmental protection. Only by changing the concept can we completely stop this bloody trade." Charles pursed his lips and said.

"In fact, over the past year, the International Anti-Poaching Association led by Professor Zhuang has destroyed many large and small poaching groups. I think as long as we persist, we will be able to catch all the poachers one day! "Someone said with firm eyes.

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

At this time, Qiao Jingning thought for a while and said, "It would be great if there is a way to inspect the grassland from the sky, so that we can find the hiding places of these poachers."

"Aren't drones very developed now? You can use drones!" someone suggested.

"With such a large prairie, the battery life of drones is too weak, making it impossible to conduct long-distance patrols. Moreover, high-quality drones are expensive and cannot be widely used," said another person.

"Yes, the grassland area in Africa is really huge, and many countries are still very backward."

"What we can do now is to increase the number of forest rangers on the grassland as much as possible!"

"Being a forest ranger here is always dangerous, and the salary is not high. Most of them are volunteers. It is unrealistic to increase the number of people on a large scale."

……

The film crew was discussing various measures to stop poachers, and Zhuang Mu was lost in thought because of what they mentioned about drones just now.

If you consider the scope and efficiency of inspections, drones are indeed the most suitable.

However, the endurance of drones is indeed a big problem.

Zhuang Mu thought about it, and inadvertently raised his head to look at the sky, and suddenly saw an eagle, and an idea popped up in his mind.

So he asked Xia Jingshen to help him buy a small set of military-grade high-altitude camera equipment.

Immediately afterwards, he used food to attract a strong eagle.

After Zhuang Mu attracted the eagle, he began to train the eagle to track the poachers.

Generally speaking, the methods of taming falcons that are common in the world are similar, and one of the most important steps is to boil the falcons.

However, Zhuang Mu thought that was too cruel, so he didn't use the method of boiling the eagle, but chose to let the eagle know his thoughts bit by bit through the talent of empathy.

In the following time, apart from shooting documentaries and sleeping, he stayed with the eagle every day.

Although the eagle's IQ is not low, it is more out of instinct. It is definitely not an easy task to make it spontaneously look for poachers.

Every day, Zhuang Mu can only pass the information of the poachers to the eagle through photos and videos.

This method is stupid and seems to have no technical content, but the effect is not bad.

After about a week, when the eagle sees the video of the poacher, its attention will instantly focus on the poacher.

Zhuang Mu reckoned that this eagle should already have a preliminary tracking ability.

So, he tied the high-definition shooting equipment bought by Xia Jingshen around the eagle's neck, intending to let it conduct the first practical training.

The Eagles' first practical training made the film crew very excited.

In the past, although some people installed cameras on eagles to take aerial views.However, it is the first time that everyone has seen the practice of using eagles to track poachers like today.

"Can this work?" Charles was very skeptical.

Although Zhuang Mu's animal hypnotism is indeed powerful, letting animals track poachers sounds unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"...Try." Zhuang Mu said.

In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but when he thought of so many bloody elephant carcasses he saw that day, he felt that he had to do something.

At least, try hard.If this method doesn't work, then try another method.

"Didn't Professor Zhuang control a crow before? Controlling an eagle is a joke!" someone said.

"The IQ of crows is much higher than that of eagles. Haven't you seen the photo of crows hitchhiking on top of eagles? The IQs of the two are not at the same level at all."

"Wouldn't it be better to let the crows track it?"

"The crow is so small that even a tiny camera can't move it. And the crow doesn't fly very far before stopping."

"The crow's IQ is actually a weakness. It is too easy to be attracted by other things. I don't think it is as obedient as an eagle. Otherwise, why are there only falcons and no crows? Crows don't have the concentration of eagles."

……

With Xia Jingshen's help, Zhuang Mu successfully put a video camera on the eagle.

"Fly!" Zhuang Mu held the eagle's hands up, and the eagle spread its wings and flew towards the sky.

After circling a few times in mid-air, the eagle began to fly into the distance.

Next, Zhuang Mu and everyone in the film crew gathered in front of the screen to watch the live broadcast of the video from the camera on the eagle's neck.

This set of equipment was purchased at a high price. The quality of the military grade is really extraordinary, and the pictures sent back are very clear.

It's just that because the eagle flies too high, everything in the picture looks a bit small.

Everyone watched in front of the computer screen for more than an hour, and the faces that were originally brimming with excitement gradually became a little dull.

Two and a half hours later, except for Zhuang Mu, Xia Jing, Qiao Jingning, and Charles, everyone else began to look through their phones boredly.

You can watch a movie in two and a half hours, but the real-time live video on the screen is still as dull as ever.

About three hours later, Xia Jingshen looked at the time: "Real-time broadcasting consumes more power, there are still about two hours left, and the battery will be exhausted."

"Maybe there were no poachers around here just now." Qiao Jingning said.

Zhuang Mu nodded after listening, but felt a little helpless in his heart.Because judging from the trajectory of the eagle's flight, the eagle is more like flying aimlessly.

At this moment, the picture on the screen showed a state of rapid decline.

"Did it find anything?!" Charles said in amazement.

When the others heard his words suddenly, they immediately gathered over.

As the eagle descended faster and closer to the ground, the picture on the screen rapidly became larger.

At this moment, the image on the screen flickered suddenly, and the eagle stopped landing and began to circle around the spot.

As the camera continued to move, Zhuang Mu and others saw through the screen that a dozen people were moving things down from several jeeps.

"This is rhino horn."

"There's still crocodile skin!"

"Is that a lion's head, or three!"

……

Suddenly, Zhuang Mu saw a familiar figure on the screen, it was the European and American guy in the jeep he met earlier!
