Pet King

In the desert, which seems to be a forbidden area of ​​life, there are actually many animals living, but most of them are wise to emerge at day and night, avoid the high temperature and direct sunlight during the day, and come out when the temperature is suitable at night.

Before the situation was known, Zhang Zi'an didn't want to alarm others-everyone spent a lot of energy during the day and finally took a break. Just don't let everyone make a fuss about trivial matters, there is still a long way to go tomorrow.

However, in the desert, it is difficult to completely lighten your footsteps. At each step, at least half of your feet will sink into the sand, and the road will rustle.

On the other hand, Fina walked on the sand, making almost no noise.

The meat pad on the cat's claw can not only silence the walk on flat ground, but it is still effective in the desert. In addition, the cat's sense of balance is exceptionally good. Even when walking, the body's weight is evenly distributed to the three feet. Unlike humans, when the whole body weight is pressed on one foot, it is easy to sink into the sand.

Besides, the cat's body is inherently light, even though Fina seems to be a bit fatter than when she first came to the pet shop ...

Fina was walking in front of her, and suddenly turned around suddenly, staring at Zhang Zi'an, "Are you slandering this palace in your belly?"

"No! I was wondering what animal Feimas smelled ..."

Zhang Zi'an quickly waved to clarify the misunderstanding.

Obviously it was very cool in the middle of the night, but his back was scared with a layer of cold sweat, and the heart said that the evil door was broken.

"Huh! Huh!"

Fina obviously didn't believe his explanation, but it was frustrated. It was impossible to take him without evidence. He could only hum two times in annoyance-no matter what he was thinking in secret, after all, he didn't say it directly. If it pursues it, it seems too small.

Feimas swung his head to the left and focused on finding the source of the scent.

"It seems to be behind that dune," it said, staring at a small, low dune nearby.

Zhang Zi'an took the opportunity to divert the topic, "Okay, let's check it out."

Fina couldn't stop, "You walk in front, so you don't have to look around."

Zhang Zi'an couldn't help but made a gesture to Feimas, squatted down and squeezed a handful of sand to determine the wind direction. In order to avoid alarming the animals behind the dunes, his cat lowered his waist and approached the dunes in the direction of the wind, so that the wind could eliminate their smell and sound as much as possible.

He glanced back at the camp, the camping light still glowing reassuringly, like a fire candle in the boundless darkness.

The **** of this small dune is gentle, and it is not difficult to climb. When approaching the sandy ridge, he simply limbs and used the last distance.

He carefully poked half his head on the sandy ridge, revealing only his eyes, and looked at the other side of the dune.

What's that?

The starlight was dim and he saw nothing at first, but when his eyes adjusted to the light and the line of sight, he faintly saw a few ghostly eyes flashing.

He regretted a bit, and woke up in the middle of the night without clearing his head. When he left the tent without a telescope, it was impossible to see what kind of animal it was in such dim light.

Fina belatedly climbed up the sandy ridge, staring at it with a burning gaze, sniffing her nose and smelling, said dismissively, "It was a group of foxes."

"fox?"

Zhang Zi'an thought of Rommel, the desert fox that everyone talked about last night, and he met the real desert fox tonight.

At first he was a little worried whether they would be beasts like hyenas and hyenas. In fact, even jackals and hyenas would not take the initiative to attack the squadrons. After knowing that it was just a group of foxes, he finally completely eliminated the worry, and instead was curious.

He had only seen foxes on television before, but he had never seen them in reality.

Feimas whispered, "What now?"

Zhang Zi'an was undecided whether to leave or what to do, and asked Fina again, "What kind of fox?"

Fina was even more disdainful. "What else could a fox look like? It's stupid and smelly."

"I mean what they look like."

"Looks ..." Fina glanced over there again. "Small size and big ears. Oh, they seem to have heard some movements, and they may want to run ... The ears are still pretty smart."

Small in size and large in ears ...

Zhang Zi'an thought about it, and immediately thought of a fox that really fits this description, and indeed he lives in the Sahara Desert in North Africa, and is sought after in many countries as a rare pet-aurora fox.

One thing many people often misunderstand is that foxes are the genus of foxes in canines. There is no separate fox, and auricular foxes are the smallest canines in the world. Nowadays, the word "wild" may need to be added. As a qualifier, after all, some artificially brewed teacup dogs are actually lighter and smaller than auricle foxes.

Fina didn't exaggerate, and Zhang Zi'an also saw those bright eyes turning to this side at the same time, as if he heard the movement on their side, he was hesitating whether to escape.

The auricle fox is in the middle of the food chain in the desert. It feeds on small reptiles such as rodents, insects, and lizards. It is also hunted by larger animals such as falcons and jackals, so it lives and reproduces in the desert. They have evolved unusually large ears, collecting moments around them like two high-sensitivity radars, and they can even hear an insect crawling under the sand.

If Zhang Zi'an hadn't approached from the headwind just now, some sounds and odors were blown away by the wind. I'm afraid they haven't waited for them to climb up the sand ridge. These auricle foxes have fled into the wind ~ www.readwn.com ~ Zhang Zi'an thought I think that the purpose of Professor Wei Kang's visit to the desert is not just to study primitive Egyptian cats, but also a series of investigations on the living environment of animals. It is not clear whether Professor Wei Kang is also interested in auricle fox, although in some countries the auricle Foxes have been domesticated as pets, but wild-eared foxes are still quite rare.

He quietly moved his body backwards so that the sand ridge blocked himself, and said to Fina and Feimas, "It's a rare encounter with auricular fox. Let's find a way to catch a few."

Fina pulled her face up and said defiantly, "This house is okay! You have to catch it yourself! No matter what foxes are nasty and smelly, this house doesn't want to touch those things!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhh!"

Zhang Zi'an gestured desperately to keep it down, otherwise he would run away without waiting to catch them.

"I'm not asking you to catch it, I'm just asking you and Feimas to help and catch the hand and let me catch it, but I can't do it alone," he explained.

Fina was still unhappy and said dubiously: "Then let's hear it."
