Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Just like that, at night, Wang Lu also received a notification from Parker.

It was quiet outside. Even the construction of the helium field in the Woulu Mountains had stopped, and the construction workers had returned to the dormitory area of ​​the ranch.

Parker, several veterans and others were already waiting outside the villa.

"Boss, we are ready to catch those egg thieves!"

Parker said confidently. Wang Lu took a look and saw that the veterans all had tools like nets and pliers in their hands, which was quite complete.

Then Wang Lu followed Parker towards the chicken coop. There was silence all around, except for the sound of a few people stepping on the grass.

From a distance, Parker motioned for everyone to stop, and then made a gesture of listening.

When Wang Lu saw this, he also made a careful distinction, and sure enough, he heard a rustling noise coming from near the chicken coop.

"Boss, it seems that these guys have very keen senses. They have noticed our approach and are warning us!"

"hiss..."

"hiss..."

Listening to Parker's words, Wang Lu gradually turned serious, and asked in a low voice:
"Parker, are you sure these guys won't be a threat? Snakes that can make such noises are definitely not less dangerous!"

After all, after spending so much time in Africa, Wang Lu already has some basic knowledge about the wild, such as knowledge about snakes.

The hissing sound he heard was obviously the sound made by snakes rubbing their scales. Generally, snakes make this kind of sound, as Parker said, to warn other creatures not to approach.

Generally, the snakes that can create movement are not simple, such as rattlesnakes or snakes of the genus Saw-Scaleed Viper, and without exception, these snakes are highly venomous.

That's why Wang Lu asked this question.

But the look on Parker's face was very relaxed, and he calmly gave Wang Lu another flattery!
"Oh, boss, I have to say that your current knowledge base is enough to become a field guide!"

Wang Lu did not answer this guy's words, but waited for Parker's follow-up words. Parker did not hold back and continued to speak:
"Obviously, the sound made by this guy is completely different from that of a rattlesnake. It is more like the sound of rubbing scales made by snakes of the genus Saw-Scaleed Viper, but there is still a certain difference. I am sure this guy is bluffing!"

As he spoke, Parker tried to take two more steps forward, and also deliberately made more noise.

Sure enough, the "hissing" movement became more intense, but the curvature of the corner of Parker's mouth became more and more obvious. He turned his head and said to Wang Lu:

"Boss, it looks like this guy is really bluffing. Guys, move quickly. This guy is already our thorn in the side!"

After saying that, Parker took the lead and quickly moved forward, and Wang Lu and the veterans also hurriedly followed.Soon, the flashlight in Parker's hand shone on a clump of grass in the chicken coop, and he excitedly reported his findings to Wang Lu:
"Boss, look at this guy's funny look!"

Wang Lu followed the flashlight light and saw a strange thing that looked similar to a toad. When he looked carefully, he discovered that the body of this guy hidden in the grass was clearly a snake.

The reason why this guy looks like a toad is because its cheeks are swollen, which makes the entire snake head a lot bigger, and on the side of its head are scattered eggshells stained with some egg liquid. .

There is no doubt that this guy is the target of Wang Lu and others tonight, the egg thief!

"Boss, this guy has a whole egg in his mouth right now, which makes him look so funny. Moreover, he has trouble moving when eating, so he was caught so easily by us."

Wang Lu also nodded when he heard this. This whole egg was stuck in his throat. This thing is so easy to move!

Without Wang Lu's consultation, Parker directly revealed this guy's identity.

"The boss is an African egg-eating snake. It is distributed throughout Africa and even the Arabian Peninsula. Their biggest feature is just as their name says, they feed on various eggs, and they only eat these, bird eggs. , eggs are their food!”

Hearing the habits of this thing, Wang Lu also raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the chicken coops on the ranch were really being targeted by these guys. After all, for these egg-eating snakes, the eggs scattered everywhere in the chicken coops on the ranch were the best. food.

If I really let these guys continue to eat like this without any care, I might not be able to eat eggs after a while. Is that okay?

"Due to their physiological structure, their teeth only grow at the back of the upper and lower jaws. This means that this guy doesn't even have fangs, so they are not poisonous at all. After these guys swallow the eggs whole, they will be in the throat. They use the bone spurs that grow to puncture the eggs and suck out the egg liquid inside, and the eggshells will be excreted by them."

"Another characteristic of these guys is that they can imitate the noises made by venomous snakes of the genus Saw-Scaleed Viper to scare those animals. The noises just now were made by this guy! Normal snakes will not only warn when they sense that other creatures are approaching, but It will also immediately hide away, but this guy only makes noises to scare people, so I know it must be eating!"

After Parker finished speaking, Wang Lu also understood.

Parker had already trapped this guy tightly with a net. Even so, this guy didn't forget to eat. Wang Lu was also able to witness with his own eyes how this guy discharged the broken egg shells from his mouth.

Looking at the fresh chicken feathers still standing on the broken shells of the eggs that had been discharged, which were obviously fresh eggs that had just been laid, Wang Lu said helplessly:
"You're quite good at choosing!"

Parker on the side smiled and said:

"Boss, don't underestimate these guys. They can easily distinguish the quality and freshness of these eggs. After all, they feed on them. If they eat stale eggs, it will kill them. These fresh eggs will kill them." The temperature of eggs is generally higher than that of air, and these egg-eating snakes will use this as a criterion to select food."

Seeing that Wang Lu was listening with great interest, Parker continued to talk:
"These guys can even tell whether the eggs are fertile or not, and they will preferentially select those unfertilized eggs for use, which can ensure the normal reproduction of prey and achieve sustainable development."

Wang Lu was stunned when he heard this. This thing is really powerful.

This damn thing has caught up with the quality inspectors at domestic egg factories... (End of chapter)
