Rural life in America

Chapter 277 Argument
There is a mountain behind my ranch. One thing is better, of course, it is convenient to enter the mountain; although it is not a virgin forest or the like, it is not too bad. It is still a national forest park, and there are still some wild animal resources. .

Zhang Hao took Luobo into the mountains, carrying a shotgun and some hunting tools; his current roles are many and very complicated, the main one is the 'beast trainer' who is being assessed, as well as the guide, the security officer, etc. Category.

It is true that Zhang Hao can do a good job. The "quality" of this group of people who entered the mountain is very average. They are relatively well-developed in brain power but relatively weak in body.Now it is natural to count on Zhang Hao, who is strong and strong, and it is said that he is also a hunter who often goes hunting in the mountains.

No way, no one let Zhang Haoniu blow it out; he said that the mountain behind the ranch is often visited, camping, hunting, this is a frequent visit, and he almost said that entering such a deep mountain and old forest is simply his home.

Luobo happily ran around in front of him. Although many people were a little surprised by this time entering the mountain, they didn't care at all. It was just going crazy now.

Huahua was also very happy, it fluttered its fleshy wings and flew slowly, unhurriedly; originally it was not planned to take it with it, but who can control this parrot with wings.You can't do without it, because this guy will flop around and catch up slowly. This is a super brown candy, and you can't even shake it off.

Professor Xiao En watched Luo Bo happily running ahead, and his assistants could do the recording and other things, and all he had to do was chat with Zhang Hao.

"Hao, it looks unsuspecting. In the real natural environment, it needs to consider the threats hidden in the jungle. Gray wolves are indeed very powerful predators in the natural environment, but we cannot deny that there are many animals here that will threaten it."

Of course Zhang Hao knew this, because Luo Bo really seemed unsuspecting, "I know this, but I don't really care. We just let it go through some simple tests, but I never thought about letting it go back to nature. "

Professor Xiao En knew that Zhang Hao would say that. According to his thinking, he naturally wanted Luo Bo to return to nature; but he also knew that it was impossible for Zhang Hao to let Luo Bo return to the forest, so he did not intend to force him. Because he knew that Zhang Hao was very assertive and not so easy to be persuaded.

Although he doesn't expect Luobo to return to the forest, Sean still has a lot to say, "Hao, we all know that Luobo is very smart, and we all know that you know Luobo very well. But Hao, you should know about the rewilding of gray wolves. Training is hard, it's complicated."

Of course Zhang Hao also knows this, and it is true that the wild training of gray wolves is really difficult.

Professor Xiao En intends to use his expertise to convince Zhang Hao. He explained, "Hao, you should know that we don't just teach them how to hunt. The most important thing is that they should learn to live. Especially gray wolves, facing this There are some more complicated situations that we have to consider, and sometimes you think too simply."

Zhang Hao was taken aback for a moment, and it was so simple, "Professor, can you talk to me?"

Professor Sean explained, "We all know that wolves live in packs, unless they are driven out of the wolf pack. Many wolf packs are formed in the form of nuclear families, and of course some wolf packs will form It's more complicated. But we all know that wolves have a very clear class and division of labor. There is a leading male wolf, and all male wolves are often divided in turn. Do you think that Lobo will get used to living in a wolf pack, or Say it understands this?"

Of course Zhang Hao knew this, for sure; the wolf pack did have a clear division of labor, and the alpha wolf was naturally the boss, the dictator, and the core. In fact, there was such a "privileged figure" among the female wolves.

When the prey is caught, the wolves at the core level must eat it first, and then they are arranged in order according to the community level.And it can enjoy all the female wolves.As for hunting, wolves also have a clear division of labor for hunting. They will be divided into several echelons and take turns to fight to preserve their energy.

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "I don't think Luobo will get used to submitting to other wolves. He likes freedom very much. I don't think he will show his belly to other wolves, let alone put his tail between two wolves." Between the legs."

This is absolutely true, Luobo's tail is actually not very flexible, it doesn't wag its tail like a white lion and a white tiger.But this guy has never shown his belly to the strong like those wolves with lower status in the wolf pack, and he will never put his tail between his legs to clarify his status.
It must be admitted that Luobo is really not suitable for living among wolves; if he returns to the forest, he may be able to find some wolves willing to accept him.However, Luobo is definitely not used to those things, at least eating is definitely not used to Luobo, he is not in the habit of watching other wolves eat but he has no food to eat.

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "I think you're overcomplicating things. I do know that there are classes in the culture of wolves. Of course, I also know that a gray wolf returning to the forest needs to learn to blend in with the wolves so that they can survive. Go on. But, they just don't have such conditions now, and some instincts are in their genes, don't need to care about them."

Professor Xiao En began to argue with Zhang Hao, maybe this is not arguing, this is a thorough academic exchange, because this is not a joke, because some of Zhang Hao's views are completely wrong in Professor Xiao En's opinion, it must be corrected.

"Hao, your point of view is wrong. We all know that when a wolf is in contact with humans for a long time, it will learn to adapt to the rules of human survival. I don't think those instincts and genes have any effect, because they have lost their learning opportunity, and they don't even know it."

Zhang Hao disagreed. He insisted, "That's not the case at all. We all know that if a wolf lives in the human world for a long time, they will indeed forget some wolf instincts. But sir, we can't forget Those genes, just need some guidance, they will find their instincts, and we can't underestimate their ability to adapt and learn."

The two of them were constantly arguing and arguing along the way. One insisted that gray wolves need to learn from their group, and the other believed that the instinct of those gray wolves existed, and it was enough to guide them correctly.

No one can convince anyone, so just insist on raising the bar and insisting on arguing. The two people are not giving in, and they insist that they are right.So now, just speak with the facts, and continue to stick to your own cognition.

Professor Xiao En has received professional education and has enough observations, so he got the knowledge he wanted.As for Zhang Hao, he believes in the inheritance he got, so he doesn't think his point of view is wrong.

This is also impossible, because zoology does not have a standard correct answer to a certain extent; this is not a standard answer such as 1+1=2, because there are many unusual places in it, and there are many possibilities. There is naturally a lot of debate about the room for manipulation, which is normal.

Bringing this group of 'old, weak, sick and disabled' up the mountain will actually affect the speed, at least for Zhang Hao.If he went hunting in the mountains, one hour would be enough for Zhang Hao to enter a relatively deep forest.

But right now, they are just circling around the edge of the forest; not only because those people are slower, but also because these people still want to observe Luobo.They came to assess Zhang Hao's strength, but a large part of the reason was because they wanted to observe Luobo closely. This is a very unique and intelligent wolf.

Even if I had the opportunity to observe Luobo before, it was only in the ranch; but this time I went into the mountains, which is a different feeling. This is a rare opportunity, and we must seize the opportunity to observe Luobo carefully. Performance.

Although Professor Xiao En had a lot of arguments with Zhang Hao, he still had a lot of things he wanted to chat with Zhang Hao, and of course it was basically about Luobo.

"Luobo is almost three years old now. If he is in the wild, he is basically a gray wolf that is about to grow up. He looks very strong and healthy, and you have taken good care of him. So, Hao, his current diet structure is very good. Nothing has changed. We all know gray wolves have a complex diet, they hunt deer and even wild boar, but they also eat fish and even some plants."

This is normal, some wolves do eat some fruit when they are extremely hungry.

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be any changes. Basically, it will eat everything. But its situation is more complicated. It is picky eater. It likes tender steaks, and does not eat chicken breasts. It also likes fresh trout."

Sean opened his mouth, picky wolves are really rare; there is no way, who knows whether Luobo lives on the ranch or is a rich rancher.Therefore, Luobo basically will not be hungry, and it is normal to be picky about food.

A researcher next to him suddenly asked, "They also have an amazing ability to withstand hunger, and they can even go without food for half a month. What about Luobo, what about it?"

There is no need for Zhang Hao to talk about this. Professor Xiao En has seen Luo Bo before. Although he was a little unhappy before, he did observe Luo Bo for a while, so he has a right to speak.

"Wow, Luobo's hunger resistance must be very poor. He eats three meals a day, and occasionally has some snacks. So you can see that he is very strong."

The researcher sighed a little, "Wow, that's really an exaggeration. They eat a lot, and can eat more than ten kilograms of food at a time."

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "That was a situation of extreme hunger. If they were fed well every day, then such a situation would not happen. However, their food intake is indeed very large, and they can eat almost ten pounds a day. Meat.

What else can I say, I can only say that Zhang Hao is rich; ten pounds of beef a day, and considering Luobo's picky eaters, it must not be cheap.

No wonder, that guy looks chubby and chubby!
