Survival From The Wilderness: Mission Master

Chapter 513

Chapter 533 Bison

Following Lei Dingcheng and the others, Ye Qing took Zhao Ling and the others to the edge of the town.

As the distance got closer, the vibration of the ground became clearer, and the sound of cloven-hoofed creatures stepping on the ground came from my ears.

And when Ye Qing passed through the small town that had begun to take shape and saw the American bison that was migrating, even Ye Qing from the modern era couldn’t help but feel shocked.

An adult male American bison can weigh up to one ton. The scene where hundreds of these behemoths gather together and run wildly in one direction is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent scenes on the American grasslands.

Ye Qing still knows something about bison, but he has never really seen them.

Now seeing these giant beasts wrapped in dark chestnut brown hairs and the sharp double horns on their heads bent forward, this has given Ye Qing an intuitive understanding of the aggressiveness and danger of such creatures.

It is worthy of being one of the most dangerous animals on America’s grasslands. They must not be underestimated because of their feeding habits.

At this time, William walked to Ye Qing’s side and said to Ye Qing with a smile: “Ye Qing, you haven’t seen such a scene yet.”

Ye Qing also nodded.Although his knowledge is definitely far beyond those of the people of the last century, but in the 21st century, if you want to see the scene of bison running in groups, you may only be able to learn from film and television works and documentaries. .

After all, in the 21st century, the number of America’s bison has dropped sharply from 60 million to less than 10,000, and the largest group is even only a few hundred. This is the result of America’s desperate protection.

Speaking of it, the hunting of American bison seems to be after the Pacific Railroad was completed, the east and west coastal areas of America were opened up, and the transportation of the Central Plains also directly facilitated a level, which also made the bison that inhabit the central part of America can be relaxed. Land hunting.

In order to obtain the fur of the bison, a large number of Americans poured into the central region and hunted the bison frantically. Countless bison was transported by rail to economically developed areas, and the economically inefficient bison was randomly discarded.

Coupled with the large-scale invasion of humans, the habitat of the bison has been destroyed, which has exacerbated the sharp decline in the number of bison.

In Ye Qing’s impression, by the end of the nineteenth century, that is, a few decades later, the number of bison will drop to a trough, almost extinct, to the point where there are only a few hundred.

If it were not for the American government to wake up in time and protect the bison, this creature that once occupied America’s land may have been completely extinct.

It seems that in 2012, the bison was designated by the President of America as the National Beast of America, and its status suddenly jumped to the level of America and the long-time symbol-the Bald Eagle.

This also proves the importance of America’s bison for America.

Thinking about it, Ye Qing couldn’t help sighing: “This is really too spectacular.”

William smiled and said: “Yes, no matter how many times you watch it, you will be shocked by such a scene.

With that said, William began to introduce the American bison, a creature that is still very common for the time being: “Every season we can see such a large-scale bison migration. In winter, it goes from north to south and returns to the north in spring.

“The bison is a very interesting creature.” William pointed to the bison herd in front of him. “The main group of bison is composed of cows and calves, and most of the bulls gather outside to form a single group of bachelors. Only to breed Only then will the two groups converge.”

“In order to fight for the right to mate, bulls will fight with each other. That scene is much more spectacular than a fight between men.”

Hearing that, Ye Qing chuckles and laughs. The scene of a bison, a creature that weighs over a thousand catties, is naturally more shocking than a human bare-handed fight.

“But, these are not the most interesting places for bison. When it comes to “and so on”, William has a smile on his face. “The most interesting thing about bison is that it has excellent meat quality and good taste, and it is a good ingredient. .”

“Hehehe, Ms. Zhao Ling cooks so deliciously, I’m already looking forward to what kind of taste this bison can give off under her hands.

This was something Ye Qing hadn’t thought of. He had never considered the issue of the taste of bison. After all, in the 21st century, something like the bison will never be on the table. After all, it is the national animal of United States.

And Ye Qing only knows that the fur of bison can be made into high-quality leather, which is the reason why bison are hunted in large numbers.

In history, the meat of bison has always been abandoned. The meat of bison killed by hunters for leather has been abandoned at will.

This gave Ye Qing the illusion that the meat of the bison was not delicious.

Thinking about it now, this is probably just because the price of meat of the same quality is too much lower than that of fur, so hunters are unwilling to take the meat away for sale, and there are too many bison hunted and deal with it by yourself. I can’t finish it, so I can only be discarded.

So, did you have a chance to taste the taste of bison today?

The wild today is not the rare animal in the future. There are still more than 60 million bison roaming the continent of America.

When Ye Qing was a little excited, he suddenly thought.

Since I knew in advance that the bison would be endangered in the future due to over-hunting, why not take this opportunity to let my own Chinese laborer town raise a group of bison in advance.

This kind of behavior seems to be unnecessary, but once the railroad was opened, the Americans realized the great value of bison fur, in just a few decades, a generation of wild (Wang Nuo’s) cattle was almost extinct. At that time, a small town that had raised bison for a long time in advance could not only benefit from renewable wild resources, but also

Yes, because he saved a large number of wild animals, he became America’s savior!

As soon as this idea appeared in Ye Qing’s mind, Ye Qing’s heart was instantly touched. This is undoubtedly a profitable business. A small bison breeding plant cannot change the bison’s popularity. The future of hunting.

At this time, William was already a little eager to try, and he said, “I haven’t seen such a large bison herd in a few years. “While preparing to hunt. Even Lei Ding and others were a little moved by William’s words, and planned to call some of the Gunners to catch a few wild animals and improve the food frenzy.

At this moment, Ye Qing said, “William, have you ever thought about raising a batch of bison?”
