Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 298 All things live!

The Peanut and Sesame Seed Farming Group has already replied to the letter and it will be available within a week.

Wang Lu had some free time for the time being. In addition to personally observing whether the newly recruited black laborers were cheating or cheating, he went to inspect the ranch with the veterans every day. Wang Lu also knew about these black laborers. It is impossible to require them to be as diligent as domestic workers.

After all, are there fewer people slacking off on domestic assembly lines?
But it is true that Wang Lu has seen too many local black people's slutty tricks. If you don't keep an eye on him, he will really make you miss work for ten and a half days, and then he can confidently start asking for your salary!
Wang Lu did not expect these guys to be as efficient as domestic workers, but they had to be at least higher than the local average before they could enter the ranch.

Fortunately, Amanda, a loyal black employee, is keeping an eye on this kind of thing, so Wang Lu only needs to ask about it from time to time.

Now that the long rainy season is approaching, the entire grassland area north of the Woulu Mountains has been irrigated by the previous short rainy season and has regained its vitality, no longer the withered and yellow appearance during the dry season.

Driving forward, one can see the greenery as far as the eye can see. A large number of pastures reveal green stubble, and some dense areas even reach the top of the feet. This is a great good thing for the wild animals on the grassland.

Whether it is a large-scale migration to the Masai Mara Reserve in the dry season or a return migration in the rainy season, it is all for these seemingly inconspicuous herbaceous plants. Sufficient aquatic plants determine the whereabouts of these animals.

The animals on the grassland do their own thing. Elephants peel bark from shrubs, giraffes chew acacia trees, zebras feed on dry bushes, and wildebeests chew short young grasses. The rainy season brings about the growth of all things, allowing them to live freely and peacefully. Get along and don’t worry about not having enough food.

The entire grassland area was full of vitality and everything was alive. Even Wang Lu and the veterans who came out for inspection felt refreshed.

Many animals also choose to reproduce at this time of the year. According to veterans who patrol the ranch every day, they can encounter wildebeest and zebras giving birth almost every day. After all, the number of these two creatures in the ranch is the most.

If we give birth now, after a few months of growth during the rainy season, those newborn calves will be able to barely keep up with the great migration during the dry season.

Occasionally, I see one or several wildebeest standing motionless on the grassland. If I get closer, I will find that they are giving birth. Wang Lu is not uncommon in this situation. The scene when the animal gives birth is quite bloody, but after all, it is The birth of a new life.

Even sometimes seeing a few animals with their umbilical cords still under the belly is not a novel scene. It is quite common on the grasslands at this time of year.

According to Wang Lu's rough estimate, in the past month alone, there may have been tens of thousands of new lives born on his ranch!

But it’s hard to say how much these new lives can survive. After all, the grasslands are not quiet and peaceful. There are still a lot of predators. The rainy season brings herbivores back, which is also their carnival time of the year.

Common predators such as lions, African leopards, hyenas, and jackals are also very active.

Different from the public’s impression of these predators, they are not warriors on the grassland, but outright egoists. If they can encounter some herbivore cubs that have just been born, they will not hesitate. Choosing to hunt rather than hunt adult animals that are more difficult to hunt, after all, the effort and reward are not proportional.Of course, this is also the nature of animals. Wang Lu naturally won't blame anything. It's just natural selection.

But occasionally they would instruct their veterans to drive away the predators and save one or two lone gazelles or wildebeest calves. Anyway, the number of wild animals in the entire ranch was large enough. His actions will not cause any so-called consequences.

Wang Lu even saw some animals that he had never heard of before, and some situations that refreshed his knowledge.

There are also wolves on the African grasslands, and there are many varieties, but the main ones are the prairie wolf and the jackal. However, the strength of these two wolves is not very high among the predators on the grassland. After all, they The size of the wolf is far smaller than that of the North American gray wolf. Even the jackal is actually what people often call the jackal. It is smaller and has no good way to deal with some larger herbivorous animals. It can only hunt some. Small animals such as prairie hares.

Then there are African wild dogs other than hyenas. Although they are all dog-like and have the characteristics of living in groups, once these two species meet on the grassland, they will basically fight to the death. As long as both sides encounter an individual of the other party who is alone, they will not hesitate to surround and kill them.

At least Wang Lu has encountered African wild dogs a few times to kill lone band hyenas. From the appearance point of view, these African wild dogs are still better looking than the disgusting appearance of band hyenas. At least they have the appearance of a dog. .

In addition, what surprised Wang Lu the most was that those baboons were also carnivores, or omnivores to be precise, and they would occasionally hunt small creatures.

At present, there are a lot of baboon groups in the entire ranch, including the group of baboons that stood out from the encirclement in the grassland fire. The leader of the baboon left a deep impression on Wang Lu. This guy's temperament is quite unruly. .

It can be said that he was doing evil things in the ranch. He occupied a tropical rain forest as soon as he arrived, and forcefully drove out the long-tailed monkeys that were originally living in it, and roared past the grassland in groups. Let's put it that way. , if it is not defeated, even a passing lion will have to be slapped twice!
Of course, the combat effectiveness of these baboons is not very high, and they can bully ordinary wild animals, but if they provoke tree-climbing predators, they will suffer.

Wang Lu had seen it at least twice. These baboons were blocked in the tree canopy by leopards and cheetahs that could climb trees, and he almost cried.

In the end, Wang Lu drove the car to drive away the leopards, otherwise the leader of the baboon would have been trapped in the tree and died.

But precisely because of this, this guy would come over to get close to Wang Lu every time he saw him.

"嚯寯··嚯··"

From a long distance away, Wang Lu heard the movement of this guy. Soon the leader of the baboon ran to Wang Lu's car with a few picked wild fruits, and threw the wild fruits in his hand directly into the car. He got into the car and ran away with the baboon under his hand.

　Thanks to the book friend “I’m in Control of the Future” for the reward!
