Chapter 403 Little Lucky (Third)
Seeing Olsen's sad expression, Tang Tian comforted her for a while, and then the two returned to their temporary camp.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a smell of bread, and it was a mellow kind.
Sure enough, nature is the most amazing place.
The tour guide took out the breadfruit with a knife and cut it open, and the smell came out again, which really made people have the urge to drool.
The fruit inside is petal by petal, and you can pick it out with a knife and eat it directly.
Tang Tian blew one piece cold and handed it to Olson, and then ate one himself.
The entrance is very sour. Although it smells and tastes like bread, it tastes much worse.
This is also normal. The African continent has sufficient sunlight and scarce water sources. No matter what kind of tree it is, most of the trees that can bear fruit are rich in vitamins.
However, this kind of sourness is within the acceptable range of people, and it tastes very stimulating to the appetite.
Olson ate happily.
"Aw! Aw!"
At this moment, some baboons appeared tens of meters away from the camp, screaming at them, drooling all over the place.
They obviously smelled these fragrances.
This should be the group that was driven away by them before.
Olson took a baked breadfruit and was going to throw it over to them.
"Hey my friend, don't do that!"
Seeing her move, the tour guide stopped him immediately.
"Those monkeys, it's okay if you don't give them food. If you give them food, they will attack people if they are not full."
The tour guide went on to explain.
It's very African, even the monkeys are so lazy.
Olsen put the breadfruit down when he heard it.
"Aw!"
At this moment, another roar came from outside the camp.
After the group of baboons heard the sound, they ran away in an instant.
"It's a lion!"
A bodyguard yelled, and everyone else picked up the guys one after another.
Guns are not banned in Nigeria, as long as you get a permit to enter the protected area, self-defense guns are allowed.
But generally speaking, animals in protected areas do not attack humans, so this is considered an emergency.
Tang Tian protected Olsen behind him, and then turned around following the voice of the security guard, and found that the one who broke into the camp was a lioness with blood dripping from its belly and walking with a limp.
"It's it."
Olsen was a little nervous at this time, but he still recognized the lioness as the one that attacked the buffalo herd earlier.
It appears that it has been cornered.
The lion was approaching, and the guides were loaded and loaded.
"Don't shoot yet, throw some of the food we brought to it."
Tang Tian said.
Olsen's love is overflowing, which can be seen from saving the beauty before, to loving the lioness in the front, and wanting to give breadfruit to the baboon.
Had the lioness been shot right in front of her eyes, it would have ruined her whole holiday mood.
When the bodyguard heard what he said, he immediately turned around and went to get the food.
Animals can be shot and killed when the protected area is in danger, but it is troublesome to follow the procedures later, so I definitely don't want to kill them if I can.
Some meat products that were prepared before were thrown away.
The lioness didn't dare to move at first, and after the guide signaled everyone to back off, the lioness picked up the meat, glanced at them, then turned and left.
Generally, wild lions are very vigilant to people, but it should be starved and has no other choice.
The small crisis was resolved just like that.
Tang Tian looked back and saw Olsen looking happy, this food was worth it.
After eating and drinking enough, they continued to go deep into the hinterland of the reserve.
The reserve is very large, and it is forbidden to enter the deep rainforest. They followed the route stipulated by the reserve, and the end point was the upper reaches of the Niger River.
The Niger River is the third longest river in Africa after the Nile River and the Congo River, and it is also a necessary place for the African Great Migration.
When they arrived, there were already many other tourists gathered there.
At this time, a herd of wildebeests gathered on one side of the river, perhaps one or two thousand wildebeests.
"My friends, you are really lucky to be able to witness the most spectacular scenery in the natural area when you come here."
The tour guide parked the car to a place with a good view, and then called them to get off.
The Great African Migration is the most spectacular scene in Africa.
Africa is short of water. In summer, because there is less rainfall in the upper reaches, the aquatic plants cannot meet the needs of animals, so they will migrate to the lower reaches where there is more rain.
This migration is not about hundreds or thousands of animals, but tens of thousands of animals are migrating.
Wildebeests, antelopes, and zebras are the main force, and African hyenas, lions, and leopards that feed on them also follow them all the way.
The whole process is difficult and dangerous, and many animals will reproduce in this big party-like process and give birth to more new lives.
The tour guide said that they are amazing because now the herd of wildebeests has come to the Niger River, the place where the great migration must pass.
As the third largest river in Africa, even the narrowest upstream channel is tens of meters long, and migratory animals can only cross it by force.
In addition to the lions and hyenas that are ready to move on the shore, there are many saltwater crocodiles poking their heads in the river.
But in order to survive, they have no choice.
Amidst the cheers of the tourists, the herd of wildebeests started to move. They jumped into the water in an orderly manner, and then swam towards the opposite side of the river.
At this time, the crocodiles in the river seemed to be boiling, and chased wildly towards the wildebeest.
After being bitten, several wildebeest were dragged into the water and were bitten by several crocodiles together. The scene was quite tragic.
At this moment, a very touching and shocking scene appeared.
A small wildebeest swims too slowly and has been spotted by a crocodile.
At this moment, a wildebeest on the bank jumped into the river, swam forward as fast as possible, and then stopped when it reached the middle of the little wildebeest and the crocodile.
There is a distance of about four or five meters between the two sides.
The wildebeest turned its head and gave the little wildebeest a blank look for the last time, with reluctance in its eyes, and was dragged into the water by the crocodile.
It didn't even struggle much.
That should be the baby wildebeest's mother.
The little wildebeest swam to the opposite bank with all its strength, and stopped there for a long time.
Until the herd of wildebeests passed by, they did not wait for the mother wildebeest, and finally turned around and left the shore.
Olsen couldn't help crying at this time, this scene was very touching to watch.
After stopping by the river for a long time, they drove back.
Stopping along the way, taking pictures and seeing the scenery, this is basically the main harvest of this trip to the reserve.
At a place more than ten kilometers away from the previous temporary camp, they stopped to take the last group of landscape photos.
At this time, they saw another lion, but it was a male lion standing in the shade of a tree. It was the same as the female lion they had seen before. It was hungry, deflated, and injured.
Tang Tian was thinking that today was the time to witness the miserable world, when the limping and injured lioness broke into their sight again.
But this time instead of coming towards them, it walked straight towards the male lion.
