Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 166 Grassland Manure Making Machine!

Wang Lu was very glad that he followed Parker's advice, otherwise it would be really difficult to escape if he was targeted by these red-necked ostriches.

These guys can reach speeds of seventy or eighty miles when running at full strength, and the beach motorcycle underneath them may not be as fast as them!

After watching the tragic encounter of the hyenas for a while, Wang Lu did not hesitate to start the beach motorcycle under him and drive away!
After riding for a long distance and confirming that the red-necked ostriches were not pursuing them any further, Wang Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

It happened that they were passing through a section of the Dome River. Wang Lu, who had just finished his egg-stealing job, was sweating all over his body. He stopped the car and immediately planned to go to the river to wash his face.

But he was stopped by Parker.

"Boss, I advise you to go back to the living area and wash your face."

"Oh Parker, I can't take it anymore, I feel like my face is covered in sticky sweat now!"

Wang Lu said as he got out of the car, but Parker faithfully fulfilled his duty as a guard and continued to block him:

"Boss, this section of the river is obviously already occupied by someone!"

After hearing what he said, Wang Lu saw two big guys, two hippos, lying lazily in the river.

There were no hippos inhabiting the Dom River before, and it was obvious that these two hippos also migrated from other places.

Generally speaking, hippos will not leave the river where they live, but there are exceptions. For example, individuals who are expelled from the group will find a suitable habitat again.

Apparently, Parker stopped himself because of these two hippos.

But Wang Lu didn't take it to heart at all and said nonchalantly:

"Parker, I want to say that I noticed these two big guys, but I don't think they will be aggressive towards me. Although these guys are big, they are all gentle, aren't they?"

After all, Wang Lu grew up looking down on humans and nature. He knew that hippos rarely actively attack other creatures, and even some species on the grassland entered the waters where they live. They were too lazy to pay attention. There was a high possibility of both. Just live in peace.

Upon hearing this, Parker first affirmed Wang Lu's point of view:

"Boss, you understand correctly, but you must know that in the prairie, the threats in the rivers are not just these big guys, but also some more dangerous species!"

As soon as Wang Lu heard this, a layer of white sweat broke out on his back, thinking of the most dangerous creature in the African grassland rivers: crocodiles!

These guys are all insidious predators. Wang Lu subconsciously looked into the Dome River, but soon he showed a confused look.

Although the water of the Dome River is not that clear due to the two hippos moving in the water, it is living water after all. The water washed down from the upper reaches continuously cleans the river, making the visibility of the entire river fairly good.

As long as Wang Lu's eyesight is normal, if there is a crocodile ambushing him in the river, he will definitely be able to detect it immediately.

"Boss, luckily those damn Nile crocodiles haven't entered our pasture yet, otherwise we need to be careful when approaching the river in the future!" After Parker finished speaking, Wang Lu's expression became more and more confused, then why are you stopping me? ?
But Parker soon solved Wang Lu’s confusion:
"Although those hippos will not attack you actively, sometimes their unintentional actions may accidentally injure you. I believe you will not be willing to bear the consequences!"

When Wang Lu heard this, he was also a little angry and said:

"Boss, don't treat me like a child. I have eyes so those hippos won't accidentally trample me to death!"

"Obviously you misunderstood me!"

Parker hurriedly explained, and the next moment Wang Lu couldn't bear the feeling of sweat on his body. He planned to go to the river regardless of the dissuasion. Just when he was about to take action, Wang Lu saw one of the two hippos standing up from the water. Come body.

This also made Wang Lu stop for a moment, and then this guy casually excreted a stream of feces from his buttocks while Wang Lu was looking at him, which immediately made Wang Lu a little dumbfounded.

If that was all, forget it. In the stunned expressions of Wang Lu and the veterans behind him, the thick tail of the hippopotamus began to rotate in an incredible posture, just like the blades of an electric fan, with its buttocks as the The center rotates rapidly.

The key is that this guy is still expelling feces, and the amount is not small. When the rapidly rotating tail comes into contact with the feces, it will be thrown away.

For a moment, a strange scene of "feces flying all over the sky" appeared in the river!

Wang Lu never thought that the way hippos defecate would be so unique!

For a time, a large part of the entire river was covered with this guy's feces, and even some areas on the river banks on both sides were affected.

If Parker hadn't stopped Wang Lu just now, he might have been hit by now!
"Look, boss, this is the unexpected situation I'm telling you about. Several of the tourists I've taken have left a deep impression on their journeys!"

Parker spread his hands and said helplessly, while Wang Lu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said:
"Great job Parker!"

Wang Lu couldn't imagine that if he had just gone over to wash his face, the water on his face would have been the water of the Dome River or something else!
"In fact, these hippos are important ecological participants in most freshwater rivers in Africa. Their astonishing amount of feces provides sufficient nutrients for microorganisms, plankton and other species in the river. Of course, if a river is inhabited If there are too many hippos, then this is not a good thing. At that time, the entire river will be filled with their feces, and the river water will be completely polluted..."

Parker talked about the role these hippos played on the grassland. Wang Lu also nodded when he heard the words. The amount of excretion of just such a hippopotamus left a deep impression on him, and then a number burst out from Parker's mouth, Wang Lu was even more stunned.

"Boss, you can't even believe it. These guys consume two hundred kilograms of food a day and excrete more than 160 kilograms of feces. They are called prairie manure-making machines!"

Old Wei behind him was also amazed and said:

"Good guy, if I had known this, why would we be picking up shit? If the two hippos were gone, our biogas digester would have been running long ago..."

Even Wang Lu thought about it, but when he thought about the sound of shit flying all over the sky when this guy defecated, he gave up the idea.

He doesn't want his living area to be polluted into a mess...
